Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev ignored the Turkish Council summit in Ankara, which ended on October 30, despite a personal invitation from Erdogan. The reason is Turkey's criticism of Azerbaijan, first for banning girls from wearing headscarves in schools, and then for Azerbaijan developing relations with Israel. Aliyev follows a similar pattern to that of Ukraine and Georgia - aligning himself with world Zionism and globalization in the United States, which he believes gives him reasons to spoil relations with his neighbors without facing consequences. He is also acting aggressively towards Iran and Russia.
