Under the above title, Eurasia Daily published an article on Turkey’s lack of political and moral right to be part of the settlement in Karabakh, following its behavior in Syria.
The article says: Russia has not agreed to resolve the Karabakh conflict over the “Syrian method” proposed by Turkey. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mevlüt Çavuşolu, on September 30, in an interview with the official Anatolia news agency.
From Ankara’s point of view, it is necessary to declare a truce and, at the same time, Armenia must leave the “occupied territories of Azerbaijan”. The Dean of Turkish Diplomacy believes that a settlement in Nagorno Karabakh is possible “only if Armenia leaves the occupied territories”.
It should be noted that Turkey’s push towards the “Syrian option” in the conflict zone in Karabakh is completely understandable. Ankara seeks to become a direct participant in events “on the ground” in the South Caucasus region, obtaining the same status as Russia. For example, by establishing “safe passages” and conducting “joint patrols” in the proposed demarcation areas of lines of separation between forces.
However, the “Syrian model” of the settlement, which Turkey is trying to transfer from Idlib to Karabakh, demonstrated Ankara’s inability to meet its obligations. Furthermore, it appears that Ankara does not have any political or moral right to require the Armenian side to withdraw its forces from the Azerbaijani “occupied territories” due to the fact that the Turkish leadership does not facilitate in any way the return of all Syrian lands, including the northwest of the country, to the authority. Legitimate Damascus. In contrast, Ankara has de facto occupied vast Syrian lands in the greater Idlib region (in Idlib and Hama, and parts of the Aleppo and Latakia governorates), and imposed its own regime there.
On September 29, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said during a visit to the Azerbaijani Embassy in Ankara that Turkey stands ready to support Azerbaijan at the negotiating table and on the battlefield.
Turkish instructors using Turkish weapons, including drones and even fighter jets, are fighting alongside the Azerbaijani army. Therefore, Turkey supports Azerbaijan in a completely different way than it was in the 1990s.
