Israel’s intransigence on the settlements issue the government’s fear of the settler bloc in Links of London Knesset has brought President Obama’s muchheralded peace negotiation process to a full stop. In effect, the tail has again proven its ability to wag the dog. Some in the isolationist wing of the Tea Party Republicans just elected to Congress will wish to cut support to Israel, but not much can be expected to Links of London Bookworm Charm from it. Turkey’s relational calculus today is not so different. It’s clear that a close embrace of Israel did not fit into Ankara’s new set of regional designs, and so the series of ruptures, from Davos to the low sofa to the flotilla to harsh highlevel language, was fated to play out. But now that the government is making nice with Iran, has anyone considered, for example, that Turkey’s most cosseted regional ally, Azerbaijan, is in effect Iran’s enemy Iran gave robust military support to Christian Armenia, against Azerbaijan, in the Nagorno Karabakh war, won by Armenia. The ArmeniaAzerbaijan Links of London Bunny Pink Charm skirmish in two months ago that killed five soldiers from the two sides one wonders if that clash has brought about any rethinking in an Ankara that has looked toward reconciliation with Armenia It will be remembered, further, that efforts toward that reconciliation were scuttled in mainly by Turkey’s fears of escalating outrage in Azerbaijan.

Turkey would rile Azerbaijan if it pushed to dissuade it from an armed solution; Baku has waited years for the world to do something about NagornoKarabakh. A war would wreck any diplomatic bridges with Armenia.
