American lawmakers notes high level of tolerance in Azerbaijan

In his letter, Blumenfield thanked the Azerbaijani president and the Azerbaijani government with respect to the visit of Israeli leader Shimon Peres to Baku that took place on June 28-29.

Blumenfield says in the letter inviting the Israeli leader to Azerbaijan, President Ilham Aliyev demonstrated his commitment to peace in the Middle East and the principles of tolerance and pluralism.
