Excerpt:

Azerbaijan has recently won in a military conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. Its victory was assured by numerous factors, including military support from Turkey, as well as from Israel.

During the military escalation in Nagorno-Karabakh, Ankara has provided significant diplomatic and military support to Baku. There were important military supplies of Turkish weapons, and the Turkish General Staff took part in planning and conducting of military operations. Turkish military equipment and soldiers, who remained on the territory of Azerbaijan after the joint exercises in the summer of 2020, took part in the military actions in Nagorno-Karabakh.

At the same time, Israel, without participating in hostilities, has supplied several military cargoes to Azerbaijan during the recent war. The deliveries were reportedly carried out through Turkish airspace. The UAVs of Israeli AIA and Elbit were also used during the conflict. As a result, the Israeli companies was reportedly expecting to sign multi-million contracts with Azerbaijan. After its victory, Baku may offer Israel to take part in the infrastructure projects in the Nagorno-Karabakh region. This may be of particular interest to Tel Aviv, given that some of these territories are located on the Iranian border.
