This is so beautiful!
#Azerbaijan
is a world class example of

#Muslim
brotherhood! So many countries can learn and benefit from this experience!
JUST IN: Hamas supporters attacking SOCAR’s office in Istanbul.
#Azerbaijan
continues to provide around 40 percent of

Outrageous brutality against an unarmed Azerbaijani soldier who was reported missing a few days ago due to poor weather conditions and ended up in Armenia. We urge US Gov. to condemn this barbarity & help to return him to Azerbaijan.
Today is the birthday of Albert Agarunov, the proud son and Jewish National Hero of
#Azerbaijan
, who died heroically in
#Shusha
on May 8, 1992 while defending the city against invasion.
Azerbaijani flag restored to the Embassy of
#Azerbaijan
in London after it was violently taken down by Shiite radicals today. Wave proudly, the beautiful tricolor of secular and multicultural Azerbaijan!
#Justice
has been restored. City of
#Shusha
, which had an ethnic
#Azerbaijani
majority for centuries before its 1992 invasion and total ethnic cleansing, has now been liberated. We remember today and always
#AlbertAgarunov

After seeing the Azerbaijani flag set on fire yesterday in Yerevan at a sports event, we remember how Hizbullah-allied Armenian Dashnaks were burning flags of Israel, Azerbaijan & Turkey in Lebanon
Azerbaijan🇦🇿 removed the tank which symbolised the Armenian occupation of Shusha in 1992. This tank was hit in May 1992 by Albert Agarunov, member of 🇦🇿’s Mountain Jewish community & National Hero of 🇦🇿, who died defending Shusha against invasion.
Azerbaijan and Israel agree to strengthen
#tourism
cooperation. With direct flights between Baku and Tel Aviv, well-developed infrastructure and welcoming societies, there is a lot of potential for cooperation in this field.
We remember the 613 innocent victims of
#KhojalyGenocide
committed by Armenian forces against Azerbaijani civilians on Feb. 26, 1992
President Rivlin of
#Israel
speaking at UN GA in 2015, mentioned Khojaly alongside other genocides that the UN could not stop after the Holocaust

The most notorious Armenian terrorist organization ASALA and PLO worked closely together. In the 1980s Armenian terrorists were trained in PLO camps in Lebanon. Below are photos from their joint training in 1984.
Israel is home to 70,000 Azerbaijani Jews. The largest communities are in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem and Akko. Recently, they celebrated Azerbaijan’s Victory Day.
Meet Azerbaijani Jewish boy Vugar, who was captured by Armenian troops during the first Karabakh war in early 1990s, tortured and forced into slavery. He is still missing. His family hopes that he is still alive. Armenia must provide info about his whereabouts.

Opponents of strong Azerbaijan-Israel friendship are intentionally spreading rumors claiming that
#Azerbaijan
supported South Africa’s “genocide case” against
#Israel
. It’s a LIE! There is not a single statement from Azerbaijan in support of SA case!
Congratulations to our beloved
#Azerbaijan
for restoring its full sovereignty in Karabakh and uniting the country. Wishing the soonest establishment of lasting peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

We strongly condemn the burning of Armenia’s only synagogue last night. It is the second attack on the same synagogue since Oct. 3. Why has Armenian government done nothing to protect it and combat rising antisemitism?

A Bar Mitzvah celebrated in Baku, Azerbaijan. The Torah is held up to the congregation. The men wear tefillin, two small leather boxes attached to leather straps. The religious communities of Azerbaijan coexist as a veritable paean to religious tolerance.

The list of the countries with the most

populations.
#Azerbaijan
is number 6 on this list with 64 percent of the population being non-religious. This is a great response to all those who tried to portray Azerbaijan as a “radical
#Islamic
stronghold” during the last war.

Despite all the challenges, Azerbaijan has not allowed the Gaza war destroy the beautiful Muslim-Jewish harmony that has existed in this fascinating country for centuries. This aspect goes oftentimes unnoticed.
#Armenia
invaded, ethnically cleansed & occupied 20% of
#Azerbaijan
’s sovereign territory for 30 yrs. 800,000 Azerbaijanis were expelled from their homelands. All of their cities, towns & villages (nearly 10,000 sq km) were razed to ground. Did

boycott Armenia? NO.
Former PM of Israel Ehud Olmert: Azerbaijan showed its military strength in 2020 liberating its lands from occupation. Iran needs to think carefully before entering into any confrontation with Azerbaijan.
#Azerbaijan
has strong friends and
#Israel
is among them.
