İSRAİL-AZERBAYCAN STRATEJİK ORTAKLIĞI VE TÜRKİYE-İSRAİL İLİŞKİLERİNE ETKİLERİ, 2009-2015

Türkiye-İsrail ilişkileri 2009 ve 2015 yılları arasında tarihinin en sorunlu dönemini yaşamış, bölgesel birçok krize ve bu krizlerin doğurduğu ortak strateji gereksinimine - özellikle terörizmle savaş konusunda - rağmen bu dönemde ne Ankara ne de Tel Aviv ikili sorunları çözme konusunda istekli olmuştur. Bu makale iki ülke arasındaki "ilişkisizlik statükosu" durumunu aynı dönemde şahit olunan İsrail-Azerbaycan stratejik ortaklığı üzerinden açıklamaya çalışacaktır. Kısaca, İsrail geçmişte Türkiye ile ilişkilerinden sağladığı faydaları Mavi Marmara olayının ardından Bakü ile işbirliğinden elde etme yoluna gitmiştir. Türkiye ise İsrail-Azerbaycan ilişkilerinden birtakım dolaylı ve doğrudan faydalar sağlaması sebebiyle kardeş ülke olarak gördüğü Azerbaycan ile hasmane ilişkilere sahip olduğu İsrail'in işbirliğine muhalefet etmemiştir. Türk dış politikasındaki pragmatik eğilimi yansıtan bu durum İsrail-Türkiye arasındaki sorunların çözümünü uzun bir süre ertelese de, son gelişmelerin de gösterdiği üzere, ilişkisizlik statükosunu daha fazla sürdürmek mümkün görünmemektedir

ISRAEL-AZERBAIJAN STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AND ITS EFFECTS ON TURKISHISRAELI RELATIONS, 2009-2015

Turkish-Israeli relations went through its most problematic period in the years between 2009 and 2015. In spite of several regional crises and the necessity for a shared strategy - especially on the war against terrorism, neither Ankara nor Tel Aviv was willing to solve their bilateral problems. This “status quo of a lack of relations” will be explained through an examination of the strategic cooperation that evolved between Israel and Azerbaijan during the same period. In short, following the Mavi Marmara incident, through its cooperation with Azerbaijan, Israel sought to derive some benefits like it had had previously with Turkey. On the other hand, Turkey did not oppose the cooperation between Azerbaijan, its brothercountry, and Israel, with whom it has unfriendly relations, because Ankara received some direct and indirect benefits through this cooperation. Although this situation, which reflects the pragmatic tendency in Turkish foreign policy, postponed the solving of the problems between Israel and Turkey for a long time, pursuing the status quo of a lack of relations seems no longer possible
