“On 16 November 2025, at the Seventh Consultative Meeting of the Heads of State of Central Asia, the presidents of the ‘C5,’ the Central Asia republics of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, announced the Republic of Azerbaijan would join the group, now christened the ‘C6’,” writes OilPrice.com, a leading energy news website.

"Azerbaijan may have allowed Israeli aircraft to use its airspace to attack Iran in June 2025. Israel supplies Azerbaijan with advanced drones, loitering munitions, and missile system, and the countries cooperate on intelligence and security matters. The C5 have diplomatic relations with Israel and Iran and won’t want to be drawn into a conflict if Baku’s close relations with Tel Aviv may cause retaliation from Iran in a conflict, distracting from Central Asia’s own agenda," the article emphasizes.
