Es sollte ein unabhängiger palästinensischer Staat geschaffen werden. Alijew |: Es sollte ein unabhängiger palästinensischer Staat geschaffen werden. Aliev:

People got it all wrong.

1. Azerbaijan (unlike Armenia) **Already** recognizes Palestine as a state.

2. Insignificant protests against SOCAR will not warrant foreign policy change, it’s more likely that this was said as political recuperation for Turkish dissidents, so very likely nothing will change.

3. Turkey has no reason to force Azerbaijan to stop their relations with Israel. 40% of all oil to Israel comes From Azerbaijan and Turkey.

**very likely** Azerbaijan wants to reproduce Turkish foreign policy to some extent, keeping a facade of anti-Israeli statements, while maintaining its relations behind closed doors. Moreover, Iran disapproves of this Turkish “facade”, but to some extent accepts it with concessions from the Turkish side. While with Azerbaijan, there is no bridge to form on this matter. https://www.clingendael.org/publication/how-syria-ukraine-and-gaza-are-transforming-power-dynamics-caucasus

While also “realigning” its values with Turkey, to continue the oil business SOCAR (https://eurasianet.org/perspectives-azerbaijan-walks-fine-line-as-turkey-israel-relations-deteriorate)

Otherwise, nothing has changed. Azerbaijan recognized Palestine in 1992

It is not really likely that Azerbaijan will suddenly remove itself from Israel. They also still have contracts left, like **the satellites they bought** https://www.c4isrnet.com/battlefield-tech/space/2023/10/04/israel-aerospace-industries-sells-spy-satellites-to-azerbaijan/
