Israeli embassy in Baku temporarily suspends work
By Trend
Israeli embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan has temporarily suspended its work, the embassy told Trend Oct.30.
“Due to the decision of the Israeli Ministry of Finance to
breach understandings that were agreed upon and signed by the
Director General of the Ministry of Finance on July 21, 2019, and
to apply a one-sided procedure that alters a protocol that has been
in place for several decades, we are forced to close the diplomatic
mission.
“No consular services will be provided and no one will be allowed
to enter the Embassy.
“Israeli diplomats are committed at all times to strive to enhance
Israel's strength and resilience.
“Unfortunately, the decision of the Ministry of Finance does not
leave us any choice but to take the above-mentioned action, since
the vital interests of the State of Israel have been harmed. We
hope that this crisis will be resolved as soon as possible,” reads
a statement from the embassy.
