Azerbaijan's only enemies were, are, and will be Armenia and Iran. China has good relations with Azerbaijan, Russia and US kept Azerbaijan at an arm's distance not because of hatred but in order to justify their military base and please their christian armenian diaspora respectively. How is it difficult to juggle relations when only these 2 nations are your enemies?
Furthermore,I never said that Turkey is what allows Azerbaijan to maintain its foreign relations; pls dont twist my words to suit your arguments!
All what I said is that the current preservation of Azeri territorial integrity is due to Turkish involvement and protection especially during the karabagh war when Turkish F16s landed near the frontlines to prevent Russia from intervening. If Turkey wasnt there, then Russia would have steamrolled Azerbaijan during the karabagh war and the situation would be too different from now
hahahahahahaha
Then why did the Israelis support the PKK ever since they were founded? Why did the Israelis send frequent arm shipments to the sdf ever since it was formed? Was it all due to the AKP as well? Explain to me why on earth is Israel set on going to a war against the AKP when it was the AKP that kicked out Israel's reportedly greatest threat... IRAN? Israel never dared to invade Syria for the last 20 years even though they have been bitching about how dangerous Iran is for the last 2 decades but when the AKP comes, then shit hits the fan right?
Lets stop the third rate excuses, ever since the British empire and the Zionist's plan for victory was simple......Divide and Conquer! And this is the current framework being utilised against nations like Turkey and Syria. Divide its people and steal their lands at their weakest. Why on earth do you think Israel annexed a part of Syrian lands before the Turkish army can fully enter Syria? It is because they know that they need to keep some sort of bridgehead in order to try and overturn the situation against Turkey in the future otherwise their 20-years old plan for occupying Syria would turn to ash
Because no one puts weight into Aliyev words. Aliyev in the grand scheme of things isnt as important as you think (no offense meant though) but Turkey is different; one word from Turkey can rile people up from different parts of the world regardless from the cause whether its due to religion or history or whatever. The jews are smart, they know Turkey's soft power os on another league and they are pissed whenever they see it grow and this is why they are anti-AKP since Turkish soft power grew the most during their era
Let me enlighten you as to why the ethnic issue in Azerbaijan and Turkey are different and in order to do so lets speak numbers and demography
The majority of Azerbaijan is of turkish lineage around 94.8% while the minorities make up the rest. The so-called minorities are also widely dispersed accross the country and they dont hold the majority in significant areas in terms of resources or geopolitical importance like this
Turkey on the other hand is wayyyyyyy different
Unlike the dominant majority in Azerbaijan, Turkish majority is only 75% with kurdish minority making up to a whopping 19%. If that isnt enough, unlike the minorities in Azerbaijan, minorities in Turkey are heavily grouped in clusters and take up significant portions of land both important in terms of natural oil, gas, as well as land. Oil fields such as Gabar have only become operational in Turkey when the PKK was kicked out from Turkey; have you ever asked yourself why on earth are PKK's land claims in Turkey only include those areas that are only filled with oil? Think for youself about this. Moreover, with sufficient large numbers such as the kurdsih minority and with rich lands in resources, it becomes easier for outer actors that has some problems with Turkey to actually influence, radicalise, finance, and train such actors to cause havoc. You can search on the internet on how PKK fighters were trained on Greek soil by American instructors and armed with German-made and Russian-made weapons against Turkey.
Do you have something similar in Azerbaijan? No, simply because it isnt feasible economically, numerically and demographically In relation to the demographics in Turkey
Certainly, Azerbaijan's gas reserves are peanuts when you compare it to the grand scheme of things but for its population of nearly 10 million people it is more than enough. The current gas reserves for Azerbaijan are enough to satisfy their people for nearly 200 years especially in terms of oil as Azeri official oil reserves are nearly 199.8 times its annual consumption levels; thus, lots of oil left to sell and make lots of cash for a nation of only 10 million people.
And guess what? Unlike Turkey, Azerbaijan doesnt have 4 different entities trying to steal their gas reserves and natural resources
if Turkey had free access to its gas reserves, the Turkish economy would have soared. Mind you that the current Turkish account deficit is deep in the red because of energy bill and has been posting a surplus when it comes to goods trade for years and yes i think that Turkey's political situation would have been different due gas profits since I look at nations that are inferior economically/technologically like Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan but are only stable thx to their gas sales and nearly 0 energy import bill as an example (again, by no means do I mean any offense)
population size isnt a magical number that can solve anything
for population size to be relevant it needs to be sustainable such as with nations like Russia that has lots of gas reserves, lots of cash, lots of resources or China which is an economic behemoth or the US which is an economic behemoth and the world's reserve currency
Otherwise you will end up like many Arab countries with lots and lots of people but technologically inferior on top of Toyota Hiluxes that can be razed by one long-range decent MLRS
Sure...... If I got a dollar for everone who said that to me and I turned right, I would have been rich by now
