"Erdogan understood that relations with Israel endanger his political survival - and it's worrying."

Dr. Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, Turkey expert, Dayan Center, Tel Aviv University: "Erdogan severed trade relations with Israel mainly due to internal political considerations. He understood that relations with Israel jeopardized his political survival. On the other hand, Azerbaijani oil continues to leave the Turkish port directly to an Israeli port. From Azerbaijan's perspective, Israel is an ally - and Erdogan doesn't touch that."
