The American Conservative: speculation over Azerbaijan's accession to the Abraham Accords could isolate Turkey

“Turkey’s closest ally, Azerbaijan, complicates matters even more through its deepening ties with Israel, notably in defense and energy cooperation. Speculation about Azerbaijan joining the Abraham Accords, the agreements between Israel and Muslim countries, could isolate Turkey unless Ankara also opts to engage in this framework.

With Azerbaijan and Armenia still in the process of working out a durable peace, Turkey could play a pivotal role in facilitating an agreement and supporting Armenia’s economic recovery. This move, aligning Turkey with an anti-Iran coalition alongside Arab states and Israel, could cement a “complete Middle Eastern bloc” under Trump’s disruptive foreign policy vision—potentially easing Turkish-Israeli tensions over Syria through negotiation,” according to The American Conservative magazine.
