Mubariz Ahmedoghlu: "Those people from the former USSR, who moved to Israel, consider themselves the citizens of a country, which rules the world"

Today we are witnessing the killing of Palestinian children, elderly people and women by the Israeli army without presenting any substantiated documentary explanation of their aggression, said head of the Center of political innovations and technologies Mubariz Ahmedoghlu, speaking about the situation in Gaza.

He voiced confidence that Israel should have made concessions, for now it agrees for creation of a Palestinian state only in words.

According to Ahmedoghlu, the powers are changing in Israel, and in conditions of absence of advantage of any party, the leadership of Israel could have undertaken such an open and tough blodshed for becoming popular among the citizens of the country, which is an erroneous step.

"Another possible reason of the new round of tensions in the Palestine-Israeli conflict is that before Bush's administration leaves the power, the Israeli leadership decided to apply force to weaken its enemies in the face of Hamas, faring that the new US president Obama to take powers after January 20, will hold the policy considering interests of the Palestinian leadership, unlike Bush.

The Iranian factor in this conflict should also be taken into account, as Iran has recently made a number of untimely and illogical anti-Israeli statements. On the whole, the Near Eastern policy of Iran is erroneous.

As for the fact that people, who moved to Israel from the former USSR, voice the most radical statements on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, he said that this is because those people from the former USSR, who moved to Israel, consider themselves the citizens of a country, which rules the world.

Speaking about the position of official Baku on the Palestine-Israel conflict, he said the following:

"Official Baku considers Israel to be a friendly state. Moreover, Azerbaijan always respected the representatives of all nations and religions, including Jews, which was repeatedly confirmed by representatives of different Jewish organizations. And to demonstrate its sincere intention to establish warm relations with the Muslim states, Israel could have become a real friend to Azerbaijan.

Unfortunately, we do not see it now and Israel's attitude towards Azerbaijan is less friendly. In particular, the influential Jewish lobby of the United States did not assist to elimination of the 907th amendments. We can also recall the statements of the Knesset representatives about the readiness of Israel to voice its position of Nagorno Karabakh conflict only after Azerbaijan voices its position on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

And we see that Israeli attempt to attain the support of official Baku for the bloodshed it committed against Palestinian civilians, neglect of a number of international norms and resolutions on the settlement of the conflict.

But we should not forget that Azerbaijan is a member of the Organization for Islamic Conference. And finally Azerbaijan's position in this issue bases on the importance to observe all international documents, which demand creation of a Palestinian state", concluded Ahmedoghlu.
