At the present stage, the situation in the Middle East region is rather complicated, elusive and explosive. This requires a carefully considered, balanced and cautious approach to all issues and every step taken by representatives of all the states of the region, including Israel.
 
No country on the territory of Eurasia has such close and warm relations with Israel as the Azerbaijani Republic. Relationship between the two countries carries out the nature of a strategic partnership. Israel has always treated Azerbaijan with great attention and warmth, and not only because the Anti-Semitism has never existed within the borders of this country. It should be noted that the brotherly attitude towards the Jewish minority in Azerbaijan, they have always been an integral part of the Azerbaijani society.
 
According to Eurasia Diary, the well-known and prominent  Israeli expert in the field of international relations, the head of the Israeli non-governmental organization "International Projects for Society" Arye Gut, commented on the live broadcast of the most popular analytical program "London and Kirshenbaum" on the 10th Israeli television channel , dedicated to the current situation of the Azerbaijani-Israeli strategic partnership and the attempts of some Armenian lobbyists to recognize the so-called "Armenian genocide" in the Knesset (national legislature of Israel) of Israel.
 
"The Republic of Azerbaijan is a strategic partner of Israel, bilateral collaboration in many areas between the two countries is at the highest level of confidence." 26 years ago, the State of Israel made its choice in the South Caucasus and it was clearly the most correct strategic choice: it's no secret that Israel and Azerbaijan are located in a complex geopolitical region, and cooperation between the two states is mutually beneficial and has a great future.
 
The State of Israel supports the just position of Azerbaijan and calls for the immediate settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani, Nagorno-Karabakh dispute only within the framework of international law and the principle of the territorial integrity of states. For more than 26 years, Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions have been occupied by the Republic of Armenia, which committed ethnic cleansing against peaceful Azerbaijani population on these lands," the Israeli expert stressed.
 
According to Arye Gut, the Azerbaijani-Israeli cooperation and partnership is blossoming, the trade turnover between the countries is almost 4 billion dollars. 
 
“Recently, this turnover was focused mainly on the oil and gas industry, currently development of these relationships is diversifying to other sectors of the economy, including agriculture, telecommunications, military industry, water resources, etc. It should be stressed that Israel is one of the main buyers of Azerbaijani oil in the world market. Azerbaijan plays an important role as a reliable supplier of energy resources, including the provision of 40 percent of oil supplies consumed by Israel. "- said Arye Gut.
 
On another comment of the host Barucha Kara on the situation of the Jewish community in Azerbaijan, Arye Gut said that Azerbaijan is the best example of inter-civilization and inter-confessional dialogue. 
 
"The leadership of Azerbaijan shows a caring and warm attitude to the traditions and life of the Jewish community of the country that has no precedents in the world. With the patronage of the President of Azerbaijan two synagogues and the largest educational Jewish center in the South Caucasus were built. The first Jewish museum in the South Caucasus will open soon, which will be opened in the Azerbaijani village called “Krasnaya Sloboda”.
 
On the question about the possibility of recognizing the so-called "Armenian genocide" by the Israeli Knesset and the impact of this issue on Azerbaijani-Israeli relations, Arye Gut responded that the Israeli Knesset is neither the scientific center, nor the institution of history, it is just the legislative branch of the state of Israel. 
 
“I believe that we should not stir up this issue, which is purely historical and controversial. Much in this issue is contradictory and unclear .There is a lot of false data and falsifications in this issue. As a person whose family survived the Holocaust, I do not have the right to compare the Holocaust with the tragedy of 1915 occurred in the Ottoman Empire. I am sure that the events of a hundred years ago should be dealt with by historians, not Israeli parliamentarians. Historians find it easier to chase ways to solve existing problems together. However, history has always served and, of course, for a long time will serve as fertile ground for the information of political accounts. Can you explain me why we should recognize the so-called "Armenian genocide" - in order to receive compliments from Armenia and Armenians? I appeal to those politicians who can by this step make another provocation directed against the national interests of the State of Israel. Those Israeli deputies who today lobby and indulge the interests of the Armenian lobby do not think about the national and geopolitical interests of the State of Israel," said Arye Gut. According to Gut, this issue is very scrupulous and acute for friendly Azerbaijan.
 
"Armenia occupied 20% of the territory of Azerbaijan; there are 1 million refugees in the country .... On the other hand, if I want to emphasize for our Israeli TV viewers that in 100 years the Armenian nationalists carried out several genocides against the Azerbaijani people: in 1905-1907, 1918, 1992, so let's discuss this and recognize it as genocide. I also want to bring to the Israeli audience that the Armenians carried out the genocide not only against the Azerbaijanis, but also against the Jews. As a result of an armed attack by the Armenians in Azerbaijan in 1918, more than 50,000 Azerbaijanis died. According to documents and eyewitness accounts, along with Muslims, up to 3,000 mountain Jews were killed from the hands of Armenian Dashnaks.
 
I personally visited the archives of Azerbaijan and saw these documents with my own eyes. I'm ready to show you documentary photos, let our viewers see.... The above factual materials are witnesses to the bloody crimes of Armenians, which can be called the first mass massacre of Jews before the Holocaust. The functioning Jewish community in the Republic of Azerbaijan possesses facts proving mass murders of mountain Jews by gangs of Armenian nationalists in 1918-1919," said Arye Gut.
 
In conclusion, the Israeli expert noted that in Azerbaijan Jews and Azerbaijanis for centuries live like brothers, they are connected by common history and destiny. "Relations between Israel and Azerbaijan, as well as Azerbaijani Muslims and Azerbaijani Jews cannot be explained only by mutual interest. Today, common values and a common history permeate modern Azerbaijani-Israeli relations.
 
The Azerbaijani model of cohabitation of representatives of different faiths proves that such peaceful coexistence is possible for representatives of Judaism, Christianity and Islam - these major religions in order to harmoniously develop on the basis of mutual respect. Tolerance and multiculturalism are the key base grounds of the Azerbaijani society, "Israeli expert in international relations, the head of the Israeli non-governmental organization “International Projects for Society” Arye Gut, in the broadcast of the most popular analytical program" London and Kirshenbaum "on the 10th Israeli television channel, summed up.
