Forecast: Erdogan will do everything to spark a war in Karabakh

ArmInfo. Turkish President Recep Erdogan will do everything in his power to further inflame the war in Karabakh. The President of the Institute of the Middle East Yevgeny Satanovsky expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.

"Look at all the latest statements by the Turkish leadership on the situation in the conflict zone. These people unconditionally supported the actions of Baku, which does not surprise me. Such behavior of Ankara fits well with its destructive policy. Moreover, not only with regard to Armenia," he is convinced.

The orientalist does not expect any other policy from the country led by Recep Erdogan of the pattern of recent years. According to Satanovsky, the Turkish president is behaving extremely aggressively and is very far from being constructive wherever possible.

In this light, the expert does not consider Erdogan as the initiator of the latest escalation in Baku, nevertheless, he is convinced of the efforts of the Turkish president to intensify the current phase of the conflict over Karabakh. First of all, due to the obvious benefits of the conflict for Turkish interests.

"At the same time, of course, it will not come to a direct Turkish military invasion of the territory of Armenia. Turkey today has already accumulated quite enough of other problems, including problems with Russia. And I think that the recent joint military exercises of the Armenian and Russian armies will become an additional factor for Erdogan in this matter,’' Satanovsky concluded.

Starting from 07:10am on September 27, the settlements, as well as the military units of the Republic of Artsakh, were subjected to intensive artillery and rocket fire by the Azerbaijani army. After that, the enemy's motorized rifle and tank subunits went over to the offensive in the northern and southeastern directions.
