Ousting the Assad regime can open new horizons between Azerbaijan and Syria. Although the nations of the two countries share a common culture and religion, Baku has not built a strong relationship with Assad’s Syria, due to the pro-Armenian and pro-Iranian politics of the last. Even during the 44-day War, Bashar Al Assad’s pro-Armenian speeches irritated many in Azerbaijan. However, Baku tried its best not to damage the relations with the fraternal nation of Syria. Even on 7–18 December 2015, the Azerbaijani Embassy in Jordan distributed humanitarian aid to 400 Syrian families settled in the said country.
