"Iran and Azerbaijan both have populations made up primarily of Shia Muslims; they share many cultural similarities and traditions. Yet Azerbaijan is much closer, diplomatically, militarily, and commercially, to Israel... This is highly significant and is recognized as such by Azerbaijanis and Israelis. A Muslim country — officially secular, with separation between religion and state, but still, 95% Muslim — can indeed have an excellent relationship with Israel, one that leads to improved security and prosperity for both nations," the Arizona Jewish Post wrote.
