Azerbaijan denies Iranian allegations of Israeli military presence during drills
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAzerbaijan denies allegations from Tehran that Israel’s military was in the Caucasus country during drills run by Iran’s army on their shared border.
The Iranian claims about Israel come after state television last week showed tanks, howitzers and helicopters firing at targets in the northwest of the country.
Israel is a major arms supplier to Azerbaijan, which last autumn won a six-week war with neighbor Armenia over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry spokeswoman Leyla Abdullayeva says Iran’s claims are groundless.
“We reject the allegations of any third party’s presence near the Azerbaijani-Iranian border, such allegations are totally baseless,” she says.
