Aliyev would be insane to do this.

There is no way if they actually try to fight Iran that Turkey will get involved on their behalf.
 
History repeats itself
Ingratitude and deep-seated complexes, meanwhile, are traditional.
Following World War I, after Armenian and Bolshevik gangs carried out massacres in Baku and seized the city, a request for military aid was sent to the Ottoman Empire.

The Caucasus Islamic Army commanded by Nuri Pasha, who was appointed by Enver Pasha fought for 4 months and, at a great cost, succeeded in recapturing Baku.

Yet, even before the war had fully concluded, the Azerbaijani elite fearing Ottoman hegemony abruptly shifted their allegiance. When the Ottoman Empire was compelled to withdraw (under the terms of the Armistice of Mudros), they sought to sustain the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic this time under British patronage

And how long did this Republic last after the Ottoman withdrawal?
A mere 23 months.
What followed was 70 years of Russian subjugation.



Those who did not want Turkish hegemony remained under Russian hegemony for 70 years.

Fast forward to September 2020.

With the full backing of Türkiye, Azerbaijan launched a campaign to reclaim Karabakh, which had been under occupation for 30 years.

1 -- Turkiye stood alone in weathering the diplomatic pressure and threats leveled by France, the United States, Russia, and Iran.

2 -- The Turkish Armed Forces, at the level of the General Staff, supported Azerbaijan at virtually every stage of the conflict

3 -- As Turkish TB-2 UCAVs systematically took out Russian-made Tanks , Howitzers , MLRS and Air Defense Systems

535 out of the 772 neutralized targets were directly struck by Bayraktar TB2 UCAVs


4 -- Tensions with Russia escalated significantly,yet Turkiye never took a step back.


5 -- France claiming that Türkiye had crossed a "red line" by allegedly transporting Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters to Karabakh, effectively issued an informal ultimatum which Türkiye disregarded entirely.

6 -- The OSCE Minsk Group (the US, France, and Russia)
condemns Türkiye’s involvement in this conflict at the highest level and repeatedly calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities; yet, Turkiye remains unyielding.


7 -- The US Senate and the State Department suggest that sanctions should be imposed on Türkiye, but Turkey is prepared to face such consequences.


8 -- The Ministry of National Defense declares: "Azerbaijan is not alone.
Guided by the motto 'Two States, One Nation,' we will continue to stand by our Azerbaijani brothers—in whatever way and whenever they desire—with all our resources, our hearts, and our military capabilities,"


9 -- Turkiye deployed F-16 Fighter Jets in Ganja to protect Azerbaijan

10 -- Turkish Air Force E-7T AEWC and KORAL Radar Electronic Warfare Systems helped Azerbaijan to find and destroy Armenian Air Defense Systems


11 -- Canada suspends the sale of WESCAM electro-optic cameras used in Bayraktar TB2 UCAVs to Turkiye and revokes the relevant licenses, citing their use against Armenian positions in Azerbaijan.


12 -- The European Parliament spent days calling for sanctions against Türkiye and initiates efforts to suspend arms agreements.

In short, Turkiye is portrayed by much of the global public as the "mastermind" behind the Karabakh War.

In other words, Turkiye effectively shoulders the diplomatic and political costs of the conflict almost entirely on its own despite not being a direct party to the fighting.


13 -- It does not stop there;
with the Shusha Declaration, signed on June 15, 2021, Turkiye officially places Azerbaijan under its full protection.



As for the current situation,
Azerbaijan has expanded its strategic partnerships with Israel in the fields of defense, trade, and energy.

Baku has become a primary operational hub for the Mossad in the Caucasus (ostensibly to counter the threat from Iran). Amidst the tensions between Türkiye and Israel, the Azerbaijani elites are increasingly gravitating toward Israel, while accusing Türkiye of attempting to act as a hegemon.

In short, history is repeating itself once again.

Despite all this disloyalty and the fact that none of these counterparts are its equal in any sphere (be it military, economic, historical, or strategic)
the Turkish State, true to its profound tradition of statecraft, steadfastly maintains its role as the "patient elder brother."

This is because the Turkish State does not act based on mere emotion.
Yet, let it not be forgotten:
The Turkish State never forgets how it has been treated.
