Israel Doesn't Have Official Opinion on Karabakh Conflict?January 17, 2007 - 18:03 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - With the absence of Azerbaijani Embassy in Israel it's incorrect to speak on delicate topics such as the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Knesset member Josef Shagal said in Baku. In his words, Israel doesn't have official stance on the conflict, as Azerbaijan did not express its position on the Palestine-Israel conflict and did not support the military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. "Once nobody could believe that Israel will withdraw troops from Sector Gaza Strip. However, it became a reality as a consequence of certain processes. I am sure, the same will happen with the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The day will come when positive tendencies will lead to resolution of the problem. I wish the conflict be settled peacefully," Shagal said, reports Zerkalo Baku-based newspaper.
