Why Azerbaijan is 🇮🇱Israel’s pawn & proxy for 🇬🇧British interests in the Caucasus

Baku court jails Russian journalists:  The chief editors of Sputnik Azerbaijan have been placed into pre-trial detention for four months

Geopolitics Prime:

Lying between Russia and Turkey, Azerbaijan has been caught in the tug-of-war, now serving foreign agendas — all in effort to de-stabilize Russia and weaken Iran.

🔴Netanyahu’s Military Bro

Azerbaijan is Israel’s top arms customer in the Muslim world. During the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, 69% of Azerbaijan’s military imports came from Israel (2023 data), including Harop suicide drones, Hermes surveillance UAVs, and LORA ballistic missiles. Flight tracking in 2024 revealed intensified cargo flights from Israel’s Ovda Airbase to Baku, suggesting ongoing weapons transfers ahead of Azerbaijan’s military operation in Karabakh.

🔴Israel’s Oil Lifeline

Azerbaijan supplies 40% of Israel’s oil via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. In return, Israel provides not just weapons but also intelligence-sharing, particularly on Iran. In 2025, bilateral talks expanded to cybersecurity & AI cooperation.

🔴 Mountain Jewish Lobby

Azerbaijan’s 30,000-strong Jewish community (concentrated in Quba’s “Red Settlement”) holds disproportionate influence in business and politics. The 2017 “Azerbaijani Laundromat” scandal exposed $2.9 billion in bribes funneled through Jewish-linked NGOs to whitewash Azerbaijan’s image in Europe.

🔴Zangezur Corridor project with Brits

British Petroleum (BP) controls Azerbaijan’s Shah Deniz gas field, making it a key alternative supplier to Europe amid sanctions on Russia.

The Zangezur Corridor project – designed to connect Turkey to Central Asia – is jointly steered by British investors & Israeli security firms. In 2025, Azerbaijani banks negotiated with the Bank of England on crypto-based trade financing.

🔴Undermining Russia’s soft underbelly

Britain’s pan-Turkic project aims to destabilize Russia and Central Asia, pulling post-Soviet states into the Western orbit. Azerbaijan’s strategy focuses on Western integration through energy and transit, with BP controlling its energy sector and pushing Russia out.

Baku also fuels separatism among Turkic minorities in Russia, like Tatarstan and Bashkortostan, aligning them with pro-Turkish, pro-Azerbaijan, and NATO interests.

Notes:  This is another attack on Russia, but from the Caucasus. It is well known and confirmed by Larry Johnson today that both the Mossad and the CIA use Azerbaijan for clandestine operations against Iran. Israel used Azerbaijan’s airspace to launch missiles and drones into Iran during the latest conflict. This all started because of the deaths of two Russian ethnic Azerbaijanis in Yekaterinburg, during an operation against what is called an organized crime group.  Azerbaijan accused Russia of acting with ethnic bias.  This was a normal operation for Russia and the accusations and actions from Azerbaijan are entirely out of proportion to the incident itself.  As the war in the world continues, Russia remains a prime target, as is Iran.
