Israeli president comes to Azerbaijan with peace: mountain Jews community head

"Peres is laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize and will come to Azerbaijan with peace in an effort to help. He has never been enemy to Azerbaijan and friend of Armenia. Israel was first to tell the world about the tragedy that took place in Baku on January 20, 1990," Ikhilov said.

Israeli President Shimon Peres will arrive in Azerbaijan on June 28.

There were attempts to discuss so-called Armenian genocide in the Israeli Knesset, he said. "Israel will never recognize the so-called Armenian genocide," he said.

Unfortunately, some Azerbaijani public figures say Israel is enemy to Azerbaijan. "This is wrong and this is not view that can be held by intellectual people," Ikhilov said.
