The continuing tension between Tehran and Baku, over the relationship between Azerbaijan and Israel, continues - and as a result, Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdulhian arrived in Moscow yesterday (Tuesday), in an attempt to harness the Russians alongside them.
The person required for the issue is Israel's ambassador to Moscow, Alexander Ben-Zvi, who was asked on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the Russian-Jewish Congress about Iranian allegations regarding an Israeli presence in Karbach and described it as "nonsense."
"I think it's really nonsense, because there are Russian and Turkish soldiers in Karbach," he said.
He even teased Tehran, adding that "they can even say there are entities from Mars."

Abdulhian is later expected to meet with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
Meanwhile, an unusual incident occurred this morning in which the Azerbaijani national airline AZAL announced that it had started using Armenian airspace today on its flights on the Baku-Nachchiban-Baku route.
This occurred about a day after Iran decided to ban Azerbaijani military flights on this route from crossing its airspace.
Meanwhile, the Israeli embassy in Baku is trying to broadcast business as usual.
Ambassador George Dick refrained from commenting on the issue, and in general posted a picture yesterday with Dr. Musa Abbasov, director of the Yeni Clinic Hospital in Baku.
