Ankara is ready for tough measures to preserve the strategic alliance with Baku: Peter Kolchin Political scientist Peter Kolchin commented on Alfa news about the dismissal of Erdogan's adviser for words about the hijab ban in Azerbaijan. "In general, such a strong reaction from Ankara indicates that Erdogan plans to strengthen, at least, the information and diplomatic support for Alive in the face of the protests. In Azerbaijan, this issue is quite controversial, because Erdogan, as we know, relies on religious issues and pedals these issues to some mobilization of his electorate, but to keep track of the leadership of Azerbaijan. He will suppress any input of information that might work for Aliyev's opponents at his level," the political scientist noted. According to the expert, Erdogan has a very pragmatic approach to religious issues and Azerbaijan is strategically important to him as a window to Asia. "The impeachment is a certain signal of toughness and determination, evidence that it is better for Turkish speakers to remain silent regarding the demonstrations taking place in Azerbaijan. This is an order of priorities and an indication that Radwan has a very pragmatic approach to religious issues on the international stage.
