Has Israel created a gap between Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan?

The Russian section of the BBC "Two countries, one nation". Since the 1990s, this slogan has been a symbol of the close relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Turkey, and many in Baku see Turkey as a political and military ally. Elham Aliaf repeatedly praised Turkey's support for the Karabakh war, and Turkish flags waved in the streets of Baku. But Israel's war in Gaza showed how different the interests of Baku and Ankara can be. Turkey openly opposes Israel, another ally of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Now Eliaf says there was no help and Baku bought all his weapons with his own money. Why did this happen? Elham Eliaf said: "We don't need anyone's help, nor anyone's support. When we needed help, no one helped us. When we had a million refugees, no one reached out to us. We bought everything we got with money. We also bought all the weapons with money and at international prices, down to the last cartridge."
