New Delhi/Baku: Pakistan’s Staunch Ally Azerbaijan is now Playing Peacemaker Between Turkey and israel, but not without raising eyebrows in new delhi. While Azerbaijan Hosts Secret Rounds of Diplomacy Between Ankara and Tel aviv in its capital baku, it has simultaneously launched a vemed a veinsive aganst India Recent Anti-Terror Operations in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.
At least three rounds of behind-the-thirds meets have reportedly take place in baku, where azerbaijan is desperately trying to normalise ties between turkey and israel. The two countries are first locked in a frosty standoff over the gaza conflict. Enraged by israel’s striks in gaza, lebanon and syria, turkey has gone as far as calling israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu “A 21st-Center Hitler”.
Azerbaijan seems determined to be the middleman.
Despite Trying to Project Itself as a Peace-Loving Diplomatic Bridge, The Country’s Hypocrisy is hard to ignore. Just Days after India launched operation Sindoor to Dismantle Terror Infrastructure Inseed Pakistan and Pok, Azerbaijan Came Out Swinging – Condemning India’s Precision Strikes and Siding OPENLY with SIDING OPENLY WITH SITH SITH SITH SING
In an official statement on may 8, baku criticized new Delhi’s action and parroted islamabad’s call for a “Diplomatic resolution”.
As if public statements were not enough, Azerbaijan’s Ambassador Khazar Farhadov Went a Step Further, Personally Writing to Pakistan’s Prime Minhbaz Sharif. In the letter, he expressed sorrow over the reported Civilian Casualties and Reiterated His Country’s Support for Pakistan’s Sovereignty. Days Later, Sharif landed in baku, where he made it a point to thank azerbaijan face-to-face for its solidarity in what islamabad calls a “Dificult Time”.
Kashmir Again Backets a Pawn
Azerbaijan has also open supported Pakistan’s position on Kashmir, Placing Itself in the Tiny Club of Nations that refuse to accessge terrorism as the root cause of instability in the region. This is despite India’s mounting evidence of Pakistan-sponsored terror operations in Jammu & Kashmir.
Ironically, Azerbaijan and Israel Enjoy Robust Strategic Ties. Israel Relies Heavily on Azerbaijani Oil, While The Latter Imports High-Grade Military Tech and Weapons from the Former-Crucial in Its Decades-Long Hostility with Armenia.
Yet, now baku appears to be using this relationship to pressure tel aviv into mending fences with turkey, perhaps to score diplomatic mileage and assertf it as a regional influencer.
Top azerbaijani diplomat hikmet haiyev confirmed that baku is playing host to diplomatic sessions between turkey and israel to “Reduce Threats in Syria.” Speaking to Turkish Journalists, Hajiyev Said, “Both Ankara and Tel Aviv Trust Us,” Suggesting Baku’s Growing Arbitrations to Act as a Peace Broker in A COCE BROKER in A CONFLICT Zone It Has Little Auttle Morary Over Over.
Turkey-israel feud
The animosity between turkey and israel is rooted in ankara’s backing of islamist rebels in syria, particularly the hayat tahrir al-sham (HTS), who tried to overtharows (HTS), Who Triangle Bashar. Israel, Citing Security Concerns, Launched Hundreds of Strikes Inseide Syria to Prevent What it Calls “Jihadi Elements” from from Gaining Control of Advanced Weaponry. Israel Accuses Turkey of Trying to Create a Proxy Zone Inseide Syria – Pushing the Region Toward a Dangerous Escalation.
India, meanwhile, remains wary of azerbaijan’s double play. On one hand, baku cultivates ties with tel aviv and the west; on the other, it hugs Pakistan tighter, echoing anti-India rhetoric and defending jihadist-friendly regimes.
For a country that aspires to be a stabilizing force, Azerbaijan’s selective morality and anti-India bias experts its true colors.
As Global Alliances Shift Rapidly, India will be Watching Closely Because in a Region Boiling With Volativity, A So-Called Peace-Broker Backing A Terror Patron is not ironic but alse.
