“It is obvious that the Turkish role in Azerbaijan has significantly increased, and now we can confidently say that we are dealing with a Turkish satellite agent in the South Caucasus,” representative of the I Have Honor alliance and Iranologist Vardan Voskanyan said during a meeting with reporters. According to him, “Many issues in Azerbaijan are solved not only according to Aliyev’s will, but also with Erdogan’s intervention.” In this context, according to Vardan Voskanyan, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Baku and then to Shushi is of a provocative nature, and it somewhat influences the interests of other players in the region.
“His visit to Shushi is of a provocative nature, and it is against the interests of Armenia, Artsakh, Iran, and Russia because the meeting of Erdogan and the dictator of Baku in occupied Shushi not only targets the Armenian side, but also the other players. At the same time, there is also information spreading about some contract being signed, but it is not clear yet what that is about. There are discussions online that it can contain a military element, which the Armenian side, allied Russia, and friendly Iran can’t help but feel concerned about. Within the context of these developments, Armenia, unfortunately, does not have an MFA, and the administrative group that considers itself the government is busy with populism.”
