Israel may take revenge on Azerbaijan through recognizing Karabakh?

Azerbaijan may spoil its relations with Israel.

According to Azerbaijani media, President of this country Ilham Aliyev signed a decree on approving the agreement between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Azerbaijani Republic and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State of Palestine on provision of logistics assistance to the activity of the embassy of the State of Palestine in the Azerbaijani Republic. The agreement was signed in Baku on January 31, 2011.

The fact has not slipped Israel’s attention of, as the term ‘the State of Palestine’ was used for the first time in bilateral documents instead of Palestine. Earlier, Baku had stood for the establishment of Palestinian state with its capital in Jerusalem.

Azerbaijani political circles state that Israel has warned that if Baku does not revise its policy towards Palestine, Jerusalem will recognize the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
