Azerbaijan's Relations with Türkiye and Israel: a Constructivist Analysis
Abstract
The South Caucasian nation of Azerbaijan forms a unique case study on maintaining alliances from different blocs through its simultaneous and equally strong diplomatic relations with Türkiye and Israel. The relationship between these two regional powers is anything but cordial, and their disagreements have been amplified by the Palestinian conflict. In the context of the conflict, Azerbaijan seems to to be in a difficult situation upon first glance, for it seems inevitable for the state to be in conflict with its allies, having to choose a side; however, Azerbaijan manages to maintain an independent stance even while vocally expressing opinions on the conflict, which contributes to creating this intriguing political portrait. In this article an analysis that contradicts the general perception is presented, and it is shown, through a constructivist analysis of Azerbaijan’s multi-vectoral foreign policy, that Azerbaijan's dedication to preserving and acting in accordance with its national identity on the world stage has enabled the state to construct a foreign policy in which it can maintain strong relations with opposite sides and disagree with its allies without facing repercussions.
