L’Azerbaigian ha cercato il vertice di Erdogan-Netanyahu a Baku

Keep in mind this is an Israeli media. Maybe I made a mistake and the Mods can change it to propaganda. Although I believe it is relavent since:

1- it explains the dynamic of what happened recently with the destruction of the Turkey-Az-Israel talks.

2- provides additional information of how some stuff regarding Armenia has affected the overall region.

3- the potential of Azerbaijan joining the Accords (which Israel wants) and what it would change for the region.

>Azerbaijan suffers from difficulties with defense imports from the US. Initially, following the first Karabakh war in the early 1990s, the US banned the sale of weapons to Azerbaijan and Armenia. These restrictions lasted for about a decade, but traditionally Armenia is more favored by the Americans due to the powerful Armenian lobby in Washington.

>Thus in November 2023, Congress passed a law called the “Armenia Defense Act of 2023,” which blocks any possibility of the Secretary of State permitting defense sales to Azerbaijan. This was during the Biden administration but since Trump returned to the White House, US envoy Steve Witkoff has already visited Baku. Although this has not led to Azerbaijan joining the Abraham Accords, “Globes” has learned that top officials from US defense giants, like Lockheed Martin and RTX, are already holding meetings in Baku, in the hope that Aliyev’s move will materialize and they will be able to reach approved deals in Washington.

> The authorities in Azerbaijan under Aliyev’s leadership have undergone a fundamental change. Following the final defeat of Armenia and the return of all of Karabakh in September 2023, senior Baku officials came to the realization that attention should be paid to sustainable development in a number of areas. This is reflected, for example, in “Globes” report that the Innovation and Digital Development Agency of Azerbaijan (IDDA) is offering Israeli startups that relocate to the country a full exemption from corporate tax, property tax, land tax, and dividends tax for a decade.
