阿以伊三角关系评析

Azerbaijan:A Big Chip for Israel to Confront Iran

以色列和阿塞拜疆的关系虽不事张扬但内涵丰富,属战略盟友关系。伊朗与阿塞拜疆这两个毗邻的国家,虽然具有共同的历史、相同的宗教、相似的种族,但没有促进反而阻碍了两国间的信任,两国在政治制度、里海划界、对外关系等方面均有显著的矛盾。进入21世纪以来,伊朗与以色列日益成为中东地区的直接竞争对手,加之两国政治制度上的差异、以色列所处的地理位置及伊朗核活动的持续,两国关系的敌对性愈益强烈。因此,近年来伊朗与阿塞拜疆之间进行的与以色列相关的一系列相互指责显然是事出有因的。在以色列对抗伊朗的过程中,阿塞拜疆一直并将继续扮演特殊角色。

Israel boasts advanced technology and weapons, but is short of energy resources, while Azerbaijan, with a sizable Jewish population, has special geographic location and abundant energy. Cooperating quietly, Israel and Azerbaijan enjoy a relationship of rich content, characteristic of alliance. Adjacent to each other, Iran and Azerbaijan have a common history, the same religion and similar ethnicity. But the similarities have on the whole not so much promoted as hindered the trustfulness between the two countries which have obvious contradictions in political systems, the demarcation of the Caspian Sea, and foreign relations. Since the beginning of the new century, Iran and Israel have gradually become direct rivals and the differences between their political systems, the geographic location of Israel, and Iran＇ s continuing nuclear activities have only growingly intensified their hostile relations. In view of this, the series of reciprocal reproaches between Iran and Azerbaijan in relation to Israel are obviously for good reasons. Azerbaijan has always played and will continue to play a special role in Israel＇ s confrontation with Iran.
