Rumors about the death of the Turkish-Azerbaijani alliance are not true, but serious revisions are taking place in the "one nation, two states" format. Aliev no longer accepts the role of "little brother". In a conversation with Arman Abubian, the author of the podcast "Time Abubian", the doctor of historical sciences, professor, Turkologist Ruben Malkonian analyzed the difficult statements between Baku and Ankara. "In Turkey-Azerbaijan relations, there are from time to time some scenes of mutual jealousy, but the relations of "little brother-big brother" are no longer felt for Azerbaijan, "brotherly" relations are felt. And these days, various politicians and officials in Turkey are making statements worded like this: Azerbaijan forgot that it could not have defeated Armenia in the 44-day war without Turkey's help, or rather, the defense of Artsakh. Anaki didn't even manage to win, in other words, this is a severe blow to Aliyev's political ambitions and self-love." According to the Turkologist's observation, the controversy over the restriction of head coverings, the hijab, which has become the main cause of tension, is not only a religious or clothing issue, but a central symbol of political Islam. "For Turkey, the headscarf is a matter of political image, for Azerbaijan, of political identity." Ruben Malkonian points out that Turkish President Erdogan took the first step to calm the tension by firing his advisor who made harsh statements. "Now we need to understand what the experienced Erdogan will demand from Aliyev according to the rules of the eastern market." All Call |: 106.0FM.
