What exactly can a poor and small country like Azerbaijan offer to KSA? Their economy is 11-12 times smaller. Even tiny GCC countries with 3-4 times smaller populations have significantly bigger economies.
I am not even talking about the GDP (nominal) per capita which is a whole different story altogether.

If you ask me then restoring cordial ties with Russia would be 1 billion times more valuable for KSA and the GCC and Arab world as a whole. Russia is already trying to become closer with several Arab countries (Egypt, Iraq etc.) due to lost influence after all of those regime changes.
As a 2 trillion dollar economy the GCC simply need to have closer economic cooperations with Russia which is located not that far away again (Southern Russia).
