Aliyev is trying to raise his weight in relations with Turkey: Karen Ightian In the situation between Turkey and Azerbaijan it is important to take into account that the public discussions were initiated by the Turkish side, and the situation itself did not develop in such a way that Aliyev interfered in Turkey's internal affairs and demanded the dismissal of anyone. Caucasus expert Karen Ightian said this in a conversation with Alpha News. "Initially, certain events took place in Azerbaijan, in particular, Aliyev's speech, followed by the reaction of journalists and politicians in Turkey. Azerbaijan's reaction to this was rather harsh. Baku perceived this as interference in its internal affairs," Ightian said. According to the Caucasus expert, in the current situation Erdogan made concessions, but what happened should not be seen as a unilateral concession. "These two countries are related to each other, but Turkey has always assumed the role of the big brother in this relationship," he noted. According to Ightian, Aliyev, in turn, is trying to increase Azerbaijan's political weight and act more independently in the region. To this end, in his opinion, Baku seeks to develop relations with Central Asian countries. Subscribe to Alpha News VK Zen Website TikTok Facebook Instagram YouTube X.
