I advise against the tone you are employing. We are brothers with Azerbaijani Turks, but we are not "the big brother". That is exactly how Russians self-sabotaged and basically killed the pan-Slavic project, by acting superior to other Slavic brothers like Poles or Ukrainians. "You wouldn't do this without us" is a very alienating way of conducting ourselves.
We had -and still have- a duty to support Azerbaijan. We did it. They benefited from it. As did we. It is a great achievement of both peoples. I advise you to revisit Ömer Seyfettin's famous story, "Diyet". That's an important story about dignity.
Nothing wrong with the tone, it was neutral. I'm simply pointing out the reality. The other dude was making assumptions that couldn't have been further from the truth. I'm a straight forward guy, now if you want me to make the language super safe and super soft i can and still convey the exact same message. But understand this there is no malice or insult in anything i have to say unless its directed against say Russia or entities who directly cause the worst shit against our people. Which fortunately this forum has no issue with.
For example claiming about making it about erdogan as if i was personally crediting erdogan. I was the guy on here who always worried that erdogan could end up being the weak link and potentially selling Azerbaijan out. I was simply pointing out that the Turkish position was being made clear to Russia, just like the Turkish position was made clear to Iran and Russia should anyone intervene against Azerbaijan. Erdogan as the head of the state is the one whose going to say it. Who else should i say said it? When the war was boiling it was "Turkey" who openly stated that if anyone intervenes against Azerbaijan, then Turkey will enter.
Then pointing out the importance of the relationship with Turkey. Nothing to do with big brother, or anything ego related. Its a simple reality, that for some reason becomes hyper sensitive when you point it out. Its like the entire world understood the importance of having Turkey back Azerbaijan out. But when Turks point it out it seems to create hyper sensitivity and backlash. Behave that way and you will lose in the long run collectively, i see that among many Turkish Cypriots today who see Turkey as the enemy and EU as the good guy.
So of the points i made all were correct. And when i mention ignorance and naivety, i don't mean that as insult its just the way it seems to be to me. I've had far worse shit directed at me personally on this forum, I've never cared whether a mod deals with it or not but saying that I've never seen mods hand out warnings for it. Seems a little strange to me.
I personally would love to have a situation where Turkey could go into the north of syria, iraq and smash the PKK only for another nation to tell the USA and Russia to stay out of it. If we had that, jesus christ that nation i would be day and night be praising. But Turkey doesnt have that. The Turkish cypriots have that, the Azerbaijans have that and looking into the future other nations will get it from Turkey too. But i dont think Turkey will ever have that, its absolute great shame. Unless a nation like Pakistan becomes a super power, most will come to rely on Turkey.
Let me add something else, when an Azerbaijan talks about seeing Russia as an ally, imagine your own brother becomes close friends with a murderer, with someone who has a reputation for betrayal and every filth going, would you stay silent and say yeah brother he's great a guy, or would you warn him of the danger he facing. What is the honourable thing to do?
