"Expands the zone of influence": the reasons for Turkey's intervention in the conflict in Karabakh are named

Turkey, intervening in the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, pursues only one goal - to become an important figure in the international arena, expanding its military influence. Taking advantage of its geographical position, Ankara opened several fronts at once in different directions. This is the conclusion made by journalist Amal Abdel Aziz al-Ghazani in an article for the Saudi Arabian edition Asharq al-Awsat.

Turkey intends to expand its influence to neighboring countries, the author writes. Using its geographical position, Ankara opened several fronts at once - in the east, west and south, but everywhere it failed. Turkey intervened in the Libyan conflict, wanting to get to oil, but was unable to enter Sirte, the main "oil" city. In Cyprus, the Turks began drilling for gas production, but were driven out by the Americans, the threats to Greece in Europe were taken seriously, so the European Union and the UN stood up for the Greeks. Having entered Syria under the pretext of fighting the Kurds, the Turks were never able to defeat them and could not embroil them with the United States.



Against this background, the author came to the opinion that Ankara's goal is to expand its influence, including military, in all of the above regions by building military bases on their territories, and also to get some concessions from the countries into whose zone of influence it invades. Thus, the Turks began a confrontation with the Europeans (Mediterranean), Arabs (Libya and Syria) and now with the Russians (Caucasus) in their traditional zones of influence.

Interfering in the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh on the side of Azerbaijan, Turkey cannot but understand that it is invading the zone of Russian influence and is entering into confrontation with Armenia, which is being supported by Russia in military terms. Moscow dominates this region, so the Turks will not go far.

According to the author, Moscow will not make hasty decisions, but will wait to what line Erdogan intends to reach in his desire to intervene in the military conflict in Karabakh. In turn, Erdogan will also not force events, waiting for the Russian reaction.

(...) this issue will be the subject of negotiations, and the situation will normalize, and the Turkish advance will be suspended, as in the rest of the regions

      Azerbaijan will end if Russia leaves the Caucasus.
      Both Armenia and Georgia.

      Turkey or Iran will be there.

      "Our" republics could exist only under the Russian cap.
      These proud horsemen will either cut each other or their neighbors will help them.

      No wonder they themselves asked to go to Russia.

      And hundreds of years of existence in Russia suggests that this is a working model of the existence of these peoples.

        Azerbaijan will end if Russia leaves

        Why so at once? Nothing will end, but there will be a region within Turkey. And Turkey will have its own gas and oil. But with Armenia it is more difficult, the religion is not the same as that of the Turks, but apart from extra mouths, by and large there is nothing to take.

          Iran has views on Azerbaijan. These are his former lands, the population is Shiite. Naturally Iran will not allow Turkey there and it is stronger than Turkey in all respects. Moreover, the Turks need to pass through Armenia, but Iran will not allow this and the Turks will get bogged down in the mountains. This is hypothetically, without Russia. But there is still the West and its six - Georgia, and Pashinyan is actually Western-driven. Therefore, three forces will clash wassat But of course Russia will not leave. And since the anti-Turkish position of nuclear Russia, the nuclear West and slightly nuclear Iran is consolidated, then Turkey is in danger. The article also forgot to mention that Erdogan broke up with the Saud because of Qatar, which means the rest of the sheikhs. Also worth mentioning is Erdogan's love for Israel. And in Libya he broke up with an equal Egypt. I climbed to Iraq. In short, only Bulgarians were left along the perimeter, Kirkorov take them wassat

            Iran has views on Azerbaijan.

            Or maybe this is the whole mystery of such a multi-move? Iran will openly clash with the Turks, and Turkey is a member of NATO and the Americans will certainly rush to "help" well, not so much to help as to end the hated Iran. What is not a reason?

              So you think wrong wassat Iran has a nuclear enrichment infrastructure and has its own production of medium-range missiles. In general, the entire line of missile technology is made from ballistic missiles, air defense, anti-ship missiles, etc. The Turks have nothing in sight. Iran has experience of a terrible war with Iraq. And the mountains are the theater of military operations. There are no Turkish tanks. Iran is not dependent on imports of hydrocarbons, and the Iranian soldier has many Aryan roots. With all that it implies. And do not give the example of the Turkic-speaking Iran, they are only Turkic-speaking. According to the Shiite religion and genetics, the carriers of haplogroup R are dominant, at 40%. These are the local Turkic Aryan and Erbin tribes. And the Persians are absolutely dearer to them than the Turks. Iran's economy is self-sufficient due to the sanctions, especially the military-industrial complex. Russian weapons are now arriving. The Turks are absolutely dependent on hydrocarbons, the military-industrial complex is completely dependent on the military-industrial complex of the West, the economy is designed for external markets. There is no nuclear technology at all. We started to build a nuclear power plant, but apparently we won't have time until the end of Turkey wassat Why is the Karabakh army holding back the rating AR? Quality of fighters, defensive tactics and geography. The mountains, however, are natural superfortifications. Number. Iran has 650 thousand. Turkey has 350 thousand. Almost doubled. Armored vehicles are comparable, the Turks have a slight advantage and the number of fighter-bombers is the same for both. But Iran has echeloned air defense. The Turks do not have one, they are only trying to create with our help. But BRs allow delivering powerful strikes across the entire territory of Turkey, which does not have such an opportunity, only by aviation that does not have an advantage in the Iranian sky.

            ========
            No no! Here you are not quite right! it incredible paradox: There are only 2 countries in the Islamic world where the overwhelming majority of the population is Shiite Muslims: the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan. In all, without exception, other Muslim countries, the majority of the population is Sunni Muslims. There are generally 3 times more of them than Shiites! It would seem that in this situation they should "gravitate" towards each other .... But no! From the very moment of the collapse of the Soviet Union, relations between Iran and the Republic of Armenia were, let's say, more than "wary"! Moreover, he showed great alertness it is Iran! What is the problem? And in the following:
            - Iran - Islamic republic, and Azerbaijan - secular state;
            - Ethically, Azerbaijanis are much closer to the Turks than to the Persians (by the way - Turkey, although a secular state, prevails there Sunnis!);
            - The Tkrki have long been "eyeing" the territory of the Republic of Armenia (this was especially evident under the "Sultan"), and this, whatever one may say, is a regional competitor of Iran.
            - The majority of Azerbaijanis (from 15 to 30 million !!!) do not live in Armenia, but in "Iranian Azerbaijan" (North of Iran), i.e. from 19% to 38% of the total population of Iran live there !!! In doing so, they demonstrate a very clear desire to reunite with their northern relatives (RA). And it's not a joke! in 1949, it almost came to this! And the Persians remember this very well!
            In this situation, dreaming of joining another 10 million ethnic Azerbaijanis is just SUICIDE for Iran!
            This is the reason why Iran and the secular state of Armenia (where there are practically no Muslims!) Have developed much warmer and more trusting ones than with "fraternal" Azerbaijan! drinks

              Armenians are genetic erbines. 40% of the population carry haplogroup R1b. An interesting genetic picture of the so-called Azerbaijanis of Iran. They are 40% carriers of haplogroup R. But they are approximately equally divided into erbines and Aryans. And they are not Türks at all, but Türkic-speaking. Approximately 20% are apparently descendants of the Erbinian Armenians, and 20% are descendants of the same Aryan Persians. It would be interesting to understand the mutations for a more accurate picture, but it is also unambiguous that the Azerbaijanis of Azerbaijan and the so-called Azerbaijanis of Iran are not one people and are not even very relatives. And they are related to each other ... the Erbino haplogroup, in fact, the Armenian wassat
              That's such a disposition.

                ======
                Yes, I read and looked at the distribution maps by haplogroups in the Caspian region. Honestly - in ethnogenetics - not strong! Many questions arise. Here is one of them: I had friends, both Armenians and Azerbaijanis. We served together with one Azerbaijani (Alik from Baku) and were friends. He died before my eyes. Cool good the guy was! Once we were talking about nationalities. I admitted that although Russian, but only 3/4 - the rest: the Belarusian-Polish-Jewish-Bashkir mixture. Alik burst out laughing: "Only 4? I am from an old Azerbaijani family, which has been known almost since the 16th century (there were also military leaders and philosophers, poets and doctors) - so I hardly have even 50% of purely Azerbaijani - and "impurities" - so only what I know - more than a dozen! And in general, if someone tells you that he is 100% Azerbaijani - spit in his face! We don't have such ... Well, maybe somewhere in remote mountain villages there will be some that are 90-95 percent Azerbaijanis ... "
                What can you say here? As for me, so modern (from the 16th-17th centuries) peoples are formed rather on the basis of "linguistic and cultural" characteristics. Although I may not be right! You can and "throw slippers" .... HOW to define "who is who"? In addition, genetics is a thing ("dark" for me) - there are "dominant" and "recessive" signs ... request

              Aviation combined with echeloned air defense, which the Turks do not have. And of course, ballistic missiles and the army are more than doubled in mountainous terrain, where the importance of a simple infantryman arises. Medium-range ballistic missiles, shooting through the whole of Turkey, will simply allow the destruction of airfields, ports, factories, logistic infrastructure, etc. with impunity. Well, the presence of 5 to ten nuclear charges (according to Israel) for these same missiles.

But he was ultimately right.

                It is this period that the Armenians consider genocide.
                "In early December 1914, the Turks launched an offensive on the Caucasian Front, but in January 1915, having suffered a crushing defeat in the battle of Sarykamish, they were forced to retreat. The victory of the Russian army was largely helped by the actions of Armenian volunteers from among the Armenians living in the Russian Empire, which led to the spread of opinion about the betrayal of the Armenians in general. The retreating Turkish troops unleashed all their anger from defeat on the Christian population of the front-line regions, cutting out Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks on their way. At the same time, arrests of prominent Armenians and attacks on Armenian villages continued throughout the country. "

              Kind Malyut. No need to mislead the people. Armenians living in Turkey were killed and starved to death. Armenians, subjects of the Russian Empire were not affected by the word at all. So the Bolsheviks themselves allowed the outbreak of national conflicts after the revolution, and then forced to quiet down nationalists at the beginning of the 20s. But again they punished, leaving a mine by creating a republic on a national principle, which was not in the Russian Empire-province and everyone is free.

                The Bolsheviks collected the country from what they could collect, and without them the empire would have collapsed to hell and there was no need to weave about the provincial way of life, it was already impossible to restore it by the year 22, and there would not be enough power to fill all the new formations with blood !!!

They will smoothly merge into this or that state. But for Armenia and Georgia, everything is very sad. The Turks and Iranians will not offer anything good to these Christians. And if anything, millions of Armenians and Georgians will run to Mother Russia, and then they will organize a simplified procedure for obtaining citizenship.

              How long does it take for Aliyev to draw an appeal to Erdogan ??

              It will not take long to draw, it will take a long time to disentangle it.
              The ideal option for Aliyev is moderate neutrality towards all interested regions - Iran, Turkey and Russia, which gives Baku the opportunity to cut its economic coupons from everyone at the same time and at the same time pursue foreign and domestic policies in its own interests. Quite a decent status.

      The little Turkish Fuhrer imagines himself the ruler of all Turkic peoples ... it will all end badly if you let him grow to the level of Hitler.

          Sorry, but it was not we who got in, but Ukraine got out. We signed her "free" back in 1991. However, in 2014, she again managed to gain "independence" from herself, having gained complete dependence on external players, finally losing her sovereignty, which she retained until she, albeit formally, was wiping out in the dressing room of Russia.

      Ankara opened several fronts at once in different directions. Thus, the Turks began to confront the Europeans (Mediterranean), Arabs (Libya and Syria) and now with the Russians (Caucasus) in their traditional zones of influence.

      The interests of the "sultan" are not limited to the South Caucasus alone; Turkey's interests extend from Azerbaijan to the Republic of Tatarstan. When we approach the Turks on some issues, we must always remember that a wide embrace is convenient for crucifixion. Assad was family friends with Erdogan, and now the north of Syria is occupied by Turkish troops with proxy opposition, which openly kill Syrian soldiers and constantly attack the Russian Khmeimim airbase.

      This is Erdogan's problem, which he does not yet take into account even with Turkey's internal problems. While inciting Aliyev to strike at Karabakh, Erdogan counted on a blitzkrieg, which has clearly failed today. If everything worked out as planned, the slogan "Two countries - one people" would quickly transform into another - "One country - two people."

        In general, blitzkrieg is done quickly, but not in a few days. Something like this. Give Aliyev time.

      General reasoning, but the plan is not disclosed (reasons are not named).
      It is important to understand: Erdogan staged a dangerous adventure for Turkey, not coordinated with his senior partners, and took advantage of the right moment and Aliyev's problems to inflict a geopolitical defeat on the Russian Federation, the United States and the EU, tie the region to the future Turkish Empire named after Erdogan, or is it a joint game between the United States and NATO against the Russian Federation, in which Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia play within the framework of a common plan.
      The coming days will show how things were. The problem of Karabakh is not in the first place here.

      There was a turkophile here on VO. On the forums, vesde wrote euphoric pretentious speeches, how Azerbajan, with the help of Turkey, will tear down Armenia to smithereens, and Russia cannot do anything! I don’t see him in that thread, but I’ll write it back!



      Russia will not allow Azerbajan to take Karabakh. Because, in this case, Russia will lose Armenia, and also Azerbaijan. As a result, it will lose the entire Caucasus - the region is vital for it. Russia is now silent, because it is conducting educational work with Pashinyan. Azerbaijan and Turkey thought that the Russians had left the region forever ... They are mistaken! Russia never leaves if it has already come here! If the Russians are not prominent, they most likely went out for lunch. And their feasts, as we know, are long ... drinks And as soon as someone gets into their zone of influence, the Russians will definitely return! Come back and give out kicks to whoever needs it! No Turkey can pull here, Erdogan shouldn't have made himself a sultan and climbed into the zones of Russian interests - Syria, Libya, the Caucasus, Central Asia and off. No matter how much Turkey has strengthened in recent decades and no matter how weak Russia looks, the Turks will never be able to compete with the Russians on an equal footing! It is better for the Ottomans to sit peacefully on their own train, otherwise they will lose what they have! Russia is never as weak as it looks! Turks, training Azeris, should have drawn conclusions from history, but no! Forgot! Azerbaijanis and Armenians, only by obeying the Russians, can get along side by side. Everything else for them is a path to nowhere, a dead end, but for Erdogan, bruises and plaster! good
      Russia is not just a factor, Russia is a fundamental factor! If someone tries to bypass it, he will have to make a sooo long journey with an unknown outcome ...

          Lost nothing. Armenia has nowhere to go, no matter how much Pashinyan would like. Armenia cannot exist without Russia's help. Pashinyan probably already understood or is in the process of understanding the situation. A wonder comes, it's a pity that its price is so many human lives!

      Let's, let's, let's fight Turkey again? What kind of war will this be? There are not enough fingers to count. The British from Britain just need it. Throughout its adult life, Britain has been striving to seize Baku oil, to organize an outpost in the Caucasus in order to control the Mediterranean straits, the Black Sea coast, the Middle East and the entire European Plain up to the Ural Mountains. Let us help them in this already in the XNUMXst century ... And we will consolidate the power of the British traders along with their brothers from other very proud countries over Russia, now for eternal times. Is it no coincidence, apparently, in the Moscow metro all announcements are duplicated in English?
      Just what will 2 million Russian tourists in Turkey say about this, Russian business that has strong ties with Turkish businessmen, etc.? What will the Turks, who work in Russia, build, trade, study, say?
      But comrades, Armenian moneybags from many countries where they settled, will surely thank us all. Big and human. After all, this does not oblige you to anything, but it shows great friendship between peoples, while you can calmly continue to do your job. But what's the matter? Or still think about the future, not paying attention to the cries that "Russia will not exist", that, apparently, "Russian slaves will be sold in Turkish markets as in the XNUMXth century" or, what else can you think of there under this sardine?

      Turkey, intervening in the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, pursues only one goal - to become an important figure in the international arena


      No. Turkey simply cannot fail to "fit in" for Azerbaijan
      Well, approximately as if we had normal allied relations with Belarus, then Russia would automatically fit into any conflict over Minsk
      Without options.
      It's just that today we have virtually no allies, so it is difficult for us to understand the situation.
      "no one to try on"
      Armenia is a member of the CSTO, but far from being an ally in the full sense.
