ABSTRACT
Like any alliance or strategic relationship, the triangular relationship between Turkey, Israel and Azerbaijan is subject to varying security requirements, threat perceptions and limitations of domestic origin. This chapter will focus on those factors that have limited further development of the axis under discussion. These factors, which will be addressed in detail, gained particular prominence in the period between 1999 and 2005 and negatively affected the strategic relationship(s). Particular attention will be paid to the developments in Azerbaijan since the shifts in the dynamics of Turkish-Israeli relations in the late 1990s have been explored to a greater extent in the existing literature.1
