1. (U) The Azerbaijan Ministry of Foreign Affairs has
informed the Embassy that the Government of Azerbaijan does
not require the participation in or cooperation with the Arab
League boycotts or other international boycotts. The GOAJ
does not, as a matter of policy, practice or contract
requests that U.S. firms comply with boycott requirements or
provide information regarding such compliance. Post is
unaware of any suppliers, vendors, service suppliers, etc.
that are known to comply with the Arab League Boycott or
other international boycotts. Azerbaijan's MFA is unaware of
any instances of attempted boycott enforcement by government
agencies or compliance requests by private entities.
Azerbaijan does not have any boycott laws and does not
maintain an Arab League Boycott Office.


2. (SBU) Azerbaijan is not an Arab country and is not a
member of the Arab League. It is a member of the
Organization of the Islamic Conference. Israel maintains an
embassy in Baku but Azerbaijan has yet to open one in Israel.
Azerbaijan has good relations with Israel that include
political, cultural and economic cooperation on a small scale.
