            Well, Azerbaijan. Who cares? Nobody succeeded in sitting on two chairs in the history of mankind. There are enough examples. Hussein, Milosevic, Gaddafi. You are no exception.

              Since when is a normal relationship called "on two chairs"? Moreover, the Turks are our blood brothers and we must help each other as much as we can. I will tell you a secret that it is preferable to sit on two chairs than on someone's knee, if they do not leave a third choice. non-aligned countries and not a member of the military bloc.

                Well, well, about the brothers. You are Shiites, Turks are Sunnis. You think from an Asian perspective - who is more profitable today is an ally. You are mistaken, dear. Turks will sell you like glass containers. Nothing good will come of you with Iran after your leadership tried to provide Soviet airfields to Israel for attacking Iran (incidentally, Shiites). Think for yourself. Persimmon does not get off.

                  "You are Shiites, Turks are Sunnis" First of all, the number of brightly religious population in Azerbaijan is very small. And so the composition of the Muslim population is about 60-65% Shiites, 35-40% Sunnis. Moreover, Azerbaijan is a secular country and people do not divide by religious or ethnic principle. Azerbaijan is one of the rare islands of religious harmony in the WORLD.
                  "How did your leadership try to provide Soviet airfields to Israel for an attack on Iran (by the way, Shiites)" Absolute slander from the Armenian language. "The Turks will sell you like glass containers." Who sells us, we were convinced in the recent past, in 1988-1994, when some occupied our lands, while others helped them in these deeds by all means and nothing has changed to this day. So to scare us with Turks and venality is tantamount to saying wet that you can be doused with water.
