RT Erdogan said on Thursday that Azerbaijan’s “struggle” with its historic opponent, Armenia, had not ended after Baku achieved a solid military victory in Nagorno-Karabakh.
“The fact that Azerbaijan saved its lands from occupation does not mean that the fighting is over,” he said during a parade in Baku. “The political and military struggle will continue on many other fronts from now on.”
Turkey is a close ally of Azerbaijan, enthusiastically supporting Baku in the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, inhabited by Armenians, which escalated in late September. In six weeks of fierce fighting between Azerbaijanis and Armenians, several thousand people were killed.
Hostilities ended on November 9, when Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a peace agreement through Moscow.
Under an agreement that stopped the Azerbaijan attack, during which parts of the territory occupied by Armenian separatists during the war of the 1990s were recovered, Armenia agreed to hand over three areas around Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan.
According to the agreement, around 2,000 soldiers were also deployed in Nagorno-Karabakh. Russian blue helmets.
Azerbaijan’s victory is also an important geopolitical achievement for RT Erdogan, who has established Turkey’s role as an influential player in the Caucasus region.
Turkey’s alliance with Turkish-speaking Azerbaijan, often described as “one nation, two states,” was formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and tightened even further under RT Erdogan.
Turkey has helped Azerbaijan train and arm its troops, and is giving Baku the opportunity to export energy resources to Europe without going through Russia.
Azerbaijan is also helping Turkey maintain ties with the former Soviet republics of Central Asia and China.
