The protest arrests in Turkey of people declared persona non grata by Azerbaijan and the resignation of Erdogan's adviser Oktay Sarel, who visited Baku, are all fake. Turks still see Azerbaijan's restrictions on hijab in schools as barbarism of the secular regime. Judge for yourself. Sharel did not apologize for anything. Fatih Arshahin, an activist who helped organize protests outside the Azerbaijani embassy in Istanbul, was summoned by the police but released. He came out and said on Twitter: the regime in Azerbaijan is "tyrannical", and the hijab ban is "totally unacceptable". He considers the fact that Turkey "arrests Muslims" on the basis of "made up charges" as a "sad situation". And in the end: "We remain unconvinced and do not regret anything! "Better not touch it. Another detainee, journalist Muhammad Amin Yildirim, said that the security forces' claims against him are related to his posts on social media and the issue of insulting the head of a foreign country (note, not with scarves or protesting the Baku decision). And there: "We will never leave our Azerbaijani sisters who wear hijab alone." That is, by interfering in the affairs of its closest ally in the OTG, Ankara not only raised the question of the limits of what is allowed within the Union, but also received a side effect in the form of worsening the debate on the country and the uncomfortable balance issue. If the infamous Turkish world is built on principles of non-interference, trumpeting a common culture and equality, then where in this culture is the border between spiritual and secular, and also what kind of unity can we talk about if in the vanilla show "one nation, two states" shines because of a school uniform? The answer is as simple as the corner of the house: the so-called. The Turkish world "a la Turk" is a perfumed and colorful wrap. Inside there is a project of a pan-Turkish military-political bloc. Pure geopolitics and no romance.
