Turkey and Russia pursue the same goal. One is trying to restore the Ottoman Empire, the other is trying to restore the Russian Empire. Both have some success in that endeavor.
So much so that it is no longer difficult to avoid the sharp corners that appear in each other's relations. And if they can develop that success, then, in the end, they will again face the inevitable need to go to war against each other.
The story is like that. likes to repeat itself. The emerging new world order implies a new balance of power. Everyone is preparing for new realities. Azerbaijan and Georgia are also trying to restore their former influence.
In Baku, that problem is considered partially solved. And here the authorities of Georgia continue the struggle in the streets of the capital. That struggle is for Abkhazia. Official Tbilisi has understood that in this period of changes, it is necessary to be able to make a clear choice.
And they made that choice, subordinating Europe's promises to the prospect of returning Abkhazia. And while everyone is preparing for the seemingly inevitable catastrophe, Armenia continues to discuss Hovik Aghazaryan.
Meanwhile, we are facing the real danger of a new big war. Iranian forces are already reporting that Azerbaijan is preparing to invade Syunik. But we don't want to notice anything."
