Its either that or Turkish troops on the ground. What did wagner with 2500 men in libya do really other then run away when Turkey intervened ? They are cannon fodder really like these Syrians.
Not really Aliyev is humiliated if you followed his speech just right before the meeting. We will do this and that he said. We will chase you out like dogs he said.. But hold your horses, it's not over yet. We support whatever Azerbaijan wants.
Seems like a face saving for Putin. Took like what 10 hours for just that? Putin said the same before the meeting. If it holds we'll see. Will Aliyev eat his words he uttered just before the meeting?
