You are not a brother to me: Baku closes its door to Turkish politicians On October 21, Azerbaijan declared 31 Turkish nationals "undesirable persons", banning them from entering. The list includes the leader of the Islamist New Welfare Party, Fatih Erbakan, member of parliament Omer Farouk Gergarlioglu, journalists and bloggers. The official reason is statements on social media "directed against the sovereignty, national security and constitutional order of Azerbaijan." Many of those registered criticized the ban on the wearing of hijab in schools in Azerbaijan and the policy of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev. Not long ago, Baku and Ankara presented "fraternity", but the balance of power in West Asia is changing rapidly. Turkey has faced the Israeli-Greek defense alliance "Achilles' shield" and the consequences of the attacks on Syria, while Azerbaijan, linked to Israel by supplying weapons and intelligence data, is noticeably distancing itself from its Turkish allies. Such "neutrality" plays into the hands of the US and Israel, who are building an anti-Iranian belt - from Azerbaijan to the Gulf monarchies. Baku tries to sit on two chairs, but each such step draws him more and more into someone else's game against his neighbors. Winter Moscow network center.
