The fact that during the days of the US-Israeli military operation against Iran, Turkey and Azerbaijan, by and large, took the same position, does not mean that there were no “clashes” and messages during this period.

In particular, Azerbaijani minval.azaddressed the criticisms of Turkey’s political and public spheres in its editorial regarding Azerbaijan-Israel strategic relations, and drew attention to a remarkable episode.

“The supply of Israeli weapons to Azerbaijan began before the 44-day Patriotic War and continued after that: drones, missile systems and air defense systems, and this is not a complete list. Naturally, any country has the right to independently determine the format of its relations with anyone.

But here is what is interesting. USA:the Israel has decided supply 27.000 aerial bomb, which to be produced is don’t in the company, whose the owner turkish is.

Let’s get down to the details. According to our information: USA:–the preparing is Israel with 660 million dollar weapon–of ammunition of supply deal to seal, which her in include: is also 27.000 aerial bomb and: appropriate equipment. This ammunition produced is In Texas active don’t in the factory, which belong to is Repkon turkish defensive concern daughter to the enterprise (Repkon USA)։

In theory, the bombs are supplied by a private company. However, in practice, the export of arms is state-owned control is very tight and strict, even in co-productions. Especially when it is not about sporting or hunting rifles, but about modern and effective aviation bombs.

We are far from making any claims against this company or its owners, but just in case Why do those circles that so harshly criticize Azerbaijan for its cooperation with Israel not interpret this deal in any way? In fact, a joint venture that manufactures weapons with the United States has decided to transfer them to Israel. Why is this not being discussed, instead Baku is being criticized? How to explain this “tunnel vision” or double standards? wrote the Azerbaijani mass media.

Would such an editorial have been published without the “dabro” of the Baku authorities?

And let’s continue the topic. One of the Israeli media elaborated details of the transaction and reported that the 12,000 units of the bomb are BLU-110A/B kind of about 450 kg in weight, has a high ability to destroy concrete and reinforced targets, it can be used with high-precision navigation equipment (JDAM or Paveway). In addition, BLU-110A/B bombs are compatible with F-15, F-16 and F-35 fighters, etc.

Latest information confirmed also the US State Department, stating that the proposed package would allow Israel to acquire 12,000 BLU-110A/B general-purpose bomb bodies, and that 151.8 million dollars value transaction also includes additional logistical support to Israel.

Let’s remind that the Azerbaijani media mentioned about 27,000 aerial bombs and mentioned the price of the deal at 660 million dollars. It is not excluded that, as various sources indicate, the USA will supply a part of aerial bombs to Israel from its own arsenal.

And why is the Azerbaijani mass media not a little “honest”?

The US supply of aerial bombs produced by a subsidiary of the Turkish company Repkon to Israel. caused resentment and disputes also in Turkey, in political and social circles.

And the management of the Repkon company even had to justify that they did not participate in the decision related to the above transaction, noting that in recent years, Turkish defense companies have expanded their international presence through subsidiaries and joint ventures in countries such as the USA, Great Britain, Italy, Romania, etc., and these enterprises were established under local legislation.

Therefore, according to the Turkish company Repkon, With the globalization of defense production networks, the boundaries between national companies and national political positions are becoming increasingly blurred.

We mention all this to show the clashes between Baku and Ankara, if there is a topic of “sticking” to anyone’s national interest, and especially in the context of Israel-Baku relations, the same Baku is ready to defend its strategic interests with Israel in any way, including from Turkey.

And the Turkish company can very calmly explain the mediated supply of ammunition to Israel: “ничего личного, это просто бизнес”.

Let’s draw attention to one more episode in the context of Baku-Ankara messages. According to the Azerbaijani side, during the days of drone strikes from Iran in the direction of Nakhichevan, Azerbaijani non-governmental or non-governmental organizations immediately start a flash mob in the social network domain: “Become my voice”, in the context of which a student studying in one of the schools of Nakhichevan appealed to the Tabriz and Zenjan settlements of Iran.

Why, because they are Azerbaijanis? Couldn’t such an emotional “project” cause international conflicts inside Iran, it was not ruled out. And days later, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan made a special emphasis in one of his speeches.

«We against we are in Iran civilian war to unleash all kind of to the scenarios. This most dangerous from scripts is, and: we warns we are both To the West, both To the east, to everyone. Similar the script in Iran no only civilian innocent population will take the most big sufferings, also can is lead to millions people to deportation and: to force them as refugees shelter search for neighbor countries and: of it from the borders out.”

Of course, Baku would not be able to reach a civil war at least with the above exciting steps, but if they were to continue and turn into more decisive “projects”, local clashes might occur. We do not forget that Israel, a strategic ally of Azerbaijan, wants to achieve the overthrow of the regime in Iran, and we can somehow extend Fidan’s warning to Baku as well.

By the way, Turkologist Varuzhan Geghamyan was himself to write that against the background of the attack on Iran, a unique anti-Azerbaijani wave has started in Turkey, and representatives of many public groups in Turkey have been targeting Azerbaijan and, in particular, President Aliyev, as “a friend and ally of Israel”.

It should be noted that later in the context of the US-Israel attack against Iran, Turkish President Erdogan stated that no one should miscalculate or fall into the Zionist trap of trying to turn brother against brother. Of course, here the head of Turkey meant Iran, but taking into account the above facts, we can see an indirect message to Baku here as well.

So there are also “sharp corners” in Turkish-Azerbaijani relations. And Baku has debts to repay both Israel and Turkey in the context of the 44-day war in Artsakh in 2020, if we put Pakistan’s aid aside.

On one occasion we wrote that at that time Pakistan acted on its relations with Turkey and only after the war established strategic relations with Baku.

On the other hand, we do not forget that the leading figures and important figures of Turkey have stated more than once that the victory of Azerbaijan in the 44-day war belongs to the Turkic world, these are not exactly the same words as the expectations of the Turkic world related to the “Zangezur Corridor” or “Trump Road” project also suggest.
