Armenia’s geopolitical gamble risks regional stability as Yerevan plays both sides  AzerNews.Az

Michael_Novakhov shared this story from VINnews. WASHINGTON – The Trump administration places the security of Israel, its primary ally in the Middle East, at the forefront. Join our WhatsApp group Subscribe to our Daily Roundup EmailStatements from President Trump and key advisors clearly indicate that his doctrine includes provisions for expanding the Abraham Accords with an emphasis on Saidi Arabia. In this context, the Trump Administration and key Congressional supporters of Congress should judiciously direct its attention to those actors in the geopolitical landscape judiciously direct of the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia who have long-established strategic partnerships with Jerusalem and can positively impact the role of the Jewish state in Trump’s envisioned “new Middle East”. Azerbaijan deserves special attention as it holds the longest and most comprehensive partnership with Israel among Muslim nations. As Israel continues to strengthen its alliances in the Middle East, Azerbaijan deserves special attention as it holds the longest and most comprehensive partnership with Israel among Muslim nations and has emerged as a critical partner, playing a pivotal role in the Jewish state’s regional security, energy independence, and efforts to counter Iranian influence. With a partnership spanning over three decades, Azerbaijan stands out as a model of Muslim-Jewish cooperation and a key player in the geopolitical landscape of Western Asia. As early as 2009, the Israeli ambassador in Baku noted that Azerbaijan could serve as a model for other Muslim countries in terms of relations with Israel.  In 2020, Dr. Baram from the Truman Research Institute at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem emphasized that: “…Azerbaijan has played a behind-the-scenes role in facilitating Israel’s relations with Gulf states and moderate Muslim countries as noted by Maariv in December 2024, Azerbaijan serves as a “successful model of coexistence” between Muslims and Jews. A Vital Energy Partner Since the 1990s, Azerbaijan has been a cornerstone of Israel’s energy security. Azerbaijani oil has powered Israel’s economy through challenging times, including the Second Intifada, and remains a vital resource for the country. During the 2024 war with Hamas and Hezbollah, Azerbaijan increased oil exports to Israel by 55%, ensuring uninterrupted fuel supplies for both civilian and military needs. According to Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, “Azerbaijan is an ally, a friend, and the largest supplier of energy resources to Israel.” United Against Iran It is symbolic that the foundation of this partnership to counter the Iranian threat was laid 30 years ago in the United States. In October 1995, during a meeting in New York with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, President Heydar Aliyev emphasized that his “country has a very long and tense border with Iran” and requested assistance in the field of security. In 1997, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Azerbaijan, where he held talks with Heydar Aliyev. This meeting gave a significant impetus to the strategic partnership between the two countries. Azerbaijan and Israel share a mutual threat in Iran’s regime. The two nations have cooperated closely in intelligence and security efforts, with Azerbaijan serving as a strategic ally due to its proximity to Iran and shared concerns over Tehran’s ambitions. Israeli officials have frequently praised Azerbaijan for its steadfast support in countering Iranian influence. “We share a common dangerous enemy—the Iranian tyranny that threatens the destruction of both our peoples,” Israeli Knesset members stated in 2023. A Model of Muslim-Jewish Cooperation Beyond security, Azerbaijan serves as a rare example of harmonious Muslim-Jewish relations. It is one of the only Muslim-majority countries to maintain such a deep and comprehensive relationship with Israel. Historical examples of Jewish inclusion in Azerbaijan’s government and society reflect its progressive approach to coexistence. The 2022 opening of Azerbaijan’s embassy in Israel further symbolized its commitment to this partnership. Mediation and Diplomacy Azerbaijan has also played a mediating role between Turkey and Israel, leveraging its relationships with both nations to facilitate dialogue during periods of tension. According to Israeli officials, President Ilham Aliyev’s leadership has been instrumental in fostering stability in the region. A Key Ally in the Abraham Accords Era Azerbaijan’s special significance for the geopolitical interests of the United States stems from the fact that, since the 1990s, this Muslim-majority country has been one of the of the tacit pillars of Israel’s regional security framework. As efforts to expand the Abraham Accords continue, Azerbaijan’s unique role as a Muslim-majority nation deeply allied with Israel highlights its potential to inspire other countries in the region. American and Israeli leaders have increasingly recognized Azerbaijan’s strategic importance in promoting peace and stability. For Israel, Azerbaijan is more than just a partner—it is a pillar of its regional security framework. From energy to defense, diplomacy to coexistence, Azerbaijan’s contributions are ensuring a safer, more interconnected Middle East. Among all Muslim countries, Azerbaijan has the longest-standing and most comprehensive partnership with Israel. “Here is an example of how Muslims and Jews work together to ensure a better future for both”, Prime Minister Netanyahu stated in 2016.

The geopolitical chessboard of the South Caucasus is being reshaped as Armenia boldly shifts its orientation toward the West. January has witnessed a flurry of strategic moves: Yerevan approved a bill initiating its bid to join the European Union and inked a Charter of Strategic Partnership with the United States in Washington. While these developments signal Armenia’s deepening ties with Western powers, they have not gone unnoticed in Moscow.

TEHRAN, Jan. 26 (MNA) – Officials from Iran and Saudi Arabi emphasized the need for strengthening and enhancing bilateral ties in the field of Information and communications technology (ICT).

Michael_Novakhov shared this story from Oilprice.com. Azerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev appeared to ratchet up tension in the South Caucasus by unexpectedly reviving a demand for extraterritorial rights on a land corridor connecting Azerbaijan proper to its Nakhchivan exclave across Armenian territory. But some experts in Baku believe that the issue can be managed. Aliyev surprised regional analysts by seemingly tossing a diplomatic grenade into the Armenian-Azerbaijani peace process during an early January interview with Azerbaijani journalists. He repeatedly referred to Armenia as “fascist” and restored the issue of what is known as the Zangezur corridor to the top of the negotiating agenda. In the months prior to Aliyev’s comments, both sides had sent signals that a peace deal seemed close. Armenian and Azerbaijani officials announced last August that they had set aside the Zangezur issue, saying the two countries would first finalize a peace deal, then return to the corridor matter. From Armenia’s standpoint, the issue was problematic for two reasons; one, officials in Yerevan did not want to surrender sovereignty over the land route connecting two Azerbaijani territories; and two, Armenia was leery of allowing Russia to act as a guarantor of stability along the corridor. Yerevan’s relationship with Moscow has soured since Azerbaijan inflicted a decisive defeat of Armenia in the Second Karabakh War, which ended in late 2023: many Armenians believe Russia betrayed their country by not fulfilling treaty obligations to defend Armenian sovereignty. A 2020 agreement had enshrined a Russian peacekeeping role over the Zangezur corridor, but the August bilateral decision to defer the issue effectively froze Moscow out of any future presence.ADVERTISEMENTSaudi Arabia to Cut Oil Supply to China Amid Weak DemandRussian officials at first bitterly complained about the Armenian-Azerbaijani move to defer Zangezur but eventually backed off after Iran forcefully supported shelving the corridor issue. In recent months, as Armenian-Russian relations have continued to spiral downward, the Armenian government’s interest in reducing the Russian presence in the country has taken on increased importance. A key for Armenia, then, is that Aliyev’s revival of the Zangezur issue doesn’t imply that Baku wants Russian peacekeepers along the route, independent analyst Shujaat Ahmadzade told Eurasianet.“I think Azerbaijan is equally unhappy with [the idea of] Russian control [of the Zangezur corridor],“ said Ahmadzade, an expert in South Caucasus affairs, adding that Baku is content to leave Armenia to act as the main point of resistance because the issue is “more of an Armenian-Russian dispute.” Aliyev’s early January interview served as a reminder to Armenia that while Zangezur may have been deferred, it would not be forgotten by Baku. At the same time, Ahmadzade indicated that there was potentially a certain amount of flexibility in Baku’s approach on the issue. Zangezur, in Baku’s view, is linked to the broader issue of expanding regional trade networks, he added. Over the past year, Azerbaijan has actively pursued projects with other neighboring states to boost East-West trade via the Middle Corridor route, including the restoration of a railway with Georgia and an ambitious plan with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to export electricity.“There are three tracks [in the bilateral dialogue] – a peace agreement, borders, and connectivity – that both countries have disputes in, yet connectivity is the only space over which Armenian-Azerbaijani bilateral negotiations have not begun,” Ahmadzade noted. “I think at this point the parties are trying to recalibrate their stakes over this matter.”Ahmadzade believes Azerbaijan wants to explore unblocking all bilateral connectivity routes. As for Zangezur, Azerbaijan doesn’t necessarily insist on Armenia sacrificing complete sovereignty over the corridor; Baku’s bottom line is it wants Azerbaijani vehicles traveling on the corridor between the mainland and Nakhchivan to move freely without any inspections. “I think this is where Armenia is resisting,” he said. By Eurasianet.orgMore Top Reads From Oilprice.comAluminum Market Wavers Amidst Tariff UncertaintySupertanker Rates Double After U.S. Sanctions on Russian Oil TradeWill U.S. Tariffs Disrupt Copper and Aluminum Markets?

#Kanal13 #likekanal13​ #subscribekanal13 #warinukrainehttps://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 – SUBSCRIBE TO US!Four weeks before the German parliamentary elections, tech billionaire Elon Musk addressed supporters of Germany’s far-right party via videocall Saturday. “I very much hope that the Alternative for Germany does do well and Alice Weidel does become chancellor. I think that would be very good for Germany,” he said during an appearance at the party’s official campaign launch in Halle. According to Assosicted Press Germany is to vote in an early election on February 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition collapsed in a dispute over how to revitalize the country’s stagnant economy. The AfD’s candidate for chancellor, Alice Weidel has no realistic chance of becoming Germany’s leader as other parties refuse to work with AfD. Musk previously caused uproar by backing the party in a guest opinion piece in a major newspaper ahead of the upcoming elections. He spoke via a video message at the campaign. “Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great grandparents,” apparently referring to Germany’s Nazi past. “There is too much focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that.” Weidel gave a speech at the event calling for tougher migration restrictions, saying “on day one we will close the borders of our beloved fatherland.” The comments came after a knife attack in Aschaffenburg by a rejected asylum-seeker left a man and a 2-year-old boy dead and spilled over into the election campaign. Thousands of Germans protested in Berlin and other cities against the rise of the far-right and anti-immigrant party on Saturday. An opposition bloc of Germany’s center-right parties, the Union, led by Friedrich Merz, is leading pre-election polls with AfD in second place.http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join – click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalismhttp://t.me/kanal13tv & https://bit.ly/37BVMqU https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1https://bit.ly/2Rs6MB3 #lastminutenewsfromukraine #kanal13ukraine https://bit.ly/2V19FdyClick here and just subscribe to Kanal13 – https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1https://www.youtube.com/KANAL13AZ/join*ATTENTION: If you woul like to contact with US please, write to +49176 75077516 WhatsApp▌▌►Website: http://kanal13.tv/http://www.facebook.com/tvkanal13https://twitter.com/Kanal13Azhttps://www.instagram.com/kanal13.azClick & Subscribe to the main youtube Channel© KANAL13 [ Azərbaycanın ilk peşəkar internet televiziyası ] The First Internet TV of AzerbaijanTags: #Ukriane, #Russia, #Putin, #Putler, #Russian invasion of Ukraine, #Zelenski, #Kiev, #Kyiv, #Kadirov army, #Kadirov, #Kherson, #Bucha, #Kharkiv, #Ukrainian pilots, #vagners, #Russian tanks, #NATO, #drones, #Moscow, #Kreml, #war victims #Ukraina, News, The Washington Post, waPo Video, Washington Post Video, Washington Post YouTube, a:politics, aid, biden, putin, s:Politics, support, t:Other, Ukraine, war, fact check, news coverage, Donald Trump, news, wp video, forbes, nytimes, newspaper, media, journalism, Ilham Aliyev, Baku, Azerbaijan, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Tel-Aviv, Garabag, Karabakh, football, ronaldo, messi, brian tyler cohen
