Brotherhood is brotherhood, but one's interests - what is being discussed in KAFKASSAM until November 2, 2026, the agenda of the Turkish experts in the South Caucasus has changed considerably. After our previous stories about TRIPP, the "Caucasus Benelux" and the corridors, the main one was the Turkish-Azerbaijani dispute about the meaning of "one nation, two states" in practice. We pour coffee, brew tea and read this Monday what Turkish think tanks write. 1 KAFKASSAM made the relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan a full discussion. reason -.

Let's look at the key - interpretations. Hasan Oktay, the head of KAFKASSAM, published a text on October 30 with a revealing title: "Ankara summit on Turkey-Azerbaijan relations: a test of brotherhood, equality and strategic partnership." His position is relatively moderate. He acknowledges the differences of opinion that have accumulated around Israel, the media disputes and the mutual perceptions, but does not see them as evidence of a strategic gap. The main idea: "One nation, two states" does not mean the same foreign policy. A sustainable alliance must tolerate the differences between two sovereign states. Short, clear and very diplomatic. Oktai's very typical sentence: "Netanyahu's shadow has fallen" at the UTG summit, as he put it. That is, Israel is already seen as an irritant within the Turkish-Azerbaijani media. 2 "Two countries, one people - different national interests" On October 31, Jakopen Okot described the problem even more clearly. His text is called "Two countries, one people, different national interests". They wrote about it a little later than us. The main thesis is that cultural and historical proximity does not negate the difference in the state's interests.
