"Azerbaijan and Israel have found a friendship in their commonality of shared open societies. Yet one is Muslim and one is Jewish, so how can this be? Watching these two countries coexist and deal with one another, it is actually quite easy to understand. Each year their trade and joint scientific, military, agricultural, and other business projects increase, and each nation is welcome and inviting to one another. Azerbaijan and Israel are regularly visited by each other’s high-level officials, and all are welcomed with deserved pomp and circumstance."http://www.jns.org/latest-articles/2014/4/2/azerbaijan-a-modern-muslim-nation-openly-defies-stereotypes-befriends-israel#.U0Gf63nYZZ7
