USA-Azerbaijan-Israel: who is interfering with the strategic “triangle”?
A few days ago on the Free Europe website appeared article, criticizing Jewish lobby of the USA for being worthy
protects the interests of the State of Israel, supporting the interests of countries with
strategic and partnership relations with the Jewish state.
It’s strange to watch a media body funded by the US Congress blame the pro-Israel Jewish lobby. that it supports the Republic of Azerbaijan, which has very close relations with Israel. They cite as an example the words of the Executive Director of the American Jewish Congress, David Harris, that Azerbaijan is an important strategic partner of the United States and the West, as well as a valuable friend and partner of Israel and the Jewish people.
It is interesting that Radio Free Europe journalists are so offended by such a warm and friendly attitude of the head of the American Jewish Congress towards Azerbaijan.
As a citizen of the State of Israel and a doctoral candidate at the University of Haifa in the field of geopolitics, I would like to emphasize that despite the severe and bloody territorial conflict with Armenia, the occupation of 20 percent of its territory Azerbaijan, which suffers from double standards and is in a very complex geopolitical environment, continues to be a true model of inter-civilization and inter-religious dialogue.
Azerbaijan is a dynamically developing Muslim country, which is by no means alien to Western values, which does everything possible to maintain peace and stability in the region and conducts an active foreign policy based on its own
national interests.
What is wrong with the fact that these interests dictate to Azerbaijan to establish and maintain
quite positive relations with Israel, a US strategic ally in the Middle East? ..
It should be noted that the cooperation and friendship between Azerbaijan and Israel has deep roots. For centuries, Jews lived in Azerbaijan, lived as equal citizens. Azerbaijanis have never considered them foreigners here. The Jews living in Azerbaijan from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries still have great merits in the development of Azerbaijani science, culture, health, economy, industry and left an indelible mark.
The current level of Azerbaijani-Israeli relations can be considered as very positive, promising and strategic, because countries fruitfully cooperate and carry out a real partnership in many areas. Both
countries have a serious desire not to stop there.
Israel highly appreciates the role of the leadership of modern Azerbaijan in a warm and sincere attitude to the 20-thousandth Jewish community. Show me another country - Muslim or Christian, where two synagogues and a large educational Jewish center were built. I think you simply will not find another such country.
Israel has several reasons to seek stronger relations with official Baku. First of all, Israel wants to demonstrate to the world community its complete loyalty to Muslim countries and who, as a not entirely secular Azerbaijan, is suitable for the role of a friendly Muslim state.
Are the US Jewish organizations worthy of censure just because they are trying to support Azerbaijan, which can serve as a model in Israel’s relations with the Muslim world? ..
Unlike many other hydrocarbon-rich countries, Azerbaijan directs its efforts towards broader humanitarian goals. Post-Soviet Azerbaijan has managed to prove that it is not a weak and dependent geopolitical substance, it plays a key role in the South Caucasus and the Middle East. This is perhaps the only CIS example of a state with successful
diversified, multi-vector foreign policy.
It is not worthy to accuse Azerbaijan of violating human rights when this country has suffered for more than 22 years.
from the aggression of the Republic of Armenia, as a result of which 20% of the territory was occupied and more than 1 million people were expelled from these territories. Do the State Department and the US Congress and Radio Free Europe really not know about this or are they pretending not to know? Or do they believe that one million Azerbaijani refugees expelled from their own lands do not have basic human rights?
Does the US State Department really not see the desire and desire of Azerbaijan to sincerely cooperate and strengthen strategic partnership with the US and Euro-Atlantic structures? Or they do not notice that Azerbaijan is the only Muslim country that supports the US peacekeeping missions in Afghanistan and Iraq, sending its sons to these hot spots?
For some reason, neither the Obama administration, nor the US Congress or the State Department is concerned that the Armenian diaspora in the United States, despite the sanctions and tough reaction of Washington towards Russia, is pursuing a fairly loyal policy towards official Moscow. Here the natural question is asked, for what reason and by what forces is Armenia, which has turned into the actual guberniya of Russia and the terrorist separatist regime in Nagorno-Karabakh, receives annual assistance from the US Congress
Armenia has remained practically aloof from the main geopolitical and geo-economic projects related to the gas and oil resources of the Caspian Sea. It is an indisputable fact that today not a single project in the region is possible without the participation of Azerbaijan, and Armenia is the most dependent country in the South Caucasus, which is completely tied and depends on Russia's external political and economic ambitions. Everyone knows that the rich Armenian diaspora save Armenia from starvation (private transfers amount to about two billion dollars a year) and sponsorship from the US Congress.
So which of these countries is more worthy of respect - a multinational Azerbaijan with its geopolitical successes and a desire to integrate into Euro-Atlantic structures, or a mono-ethnic Armenia, a country that has practically lost its independence and is on the verge of economic collapse? ..
If Radio Free Europe claims to be an objective media, why does it not criticize the Armenian lobby, which, to the detriment of US interests, strongly supports the pro-Russian policy of Armenia?
Unlike the Armenian lobby, the pro-Israel lobby in the Congress, defending the interests of America and the State of Israel, seeks to establish a dialogue with the Muslim world, where Azerbaijan occupies its worthy and honorable place.
I believe that political manipulations and service to the interests of certain interested circles are in no way combined with the national interests of the United States and are a direct threat to the interests of its strategic allies, including Israel.
"Free Europe", operating at the expense of American taxpayers, is simply obliged to take into account these realities
