Second Nagorno-Karabakh War

Türkiye's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan emphasized the enduring bond between Türkiye and Azerbaijan on Tuesday, stating that both nations will continue to support each other "in both good and bad times."

Turkish and Azerbaijani foreign ministers, Hakan Fidan and Ceyhun Bayramov, held a key meeting in the Turkish capital Ankara on Aug. 27 to discuss their countries' ongoing separate talks with Armenia for the normalization of their relationships.

Bayramov came to Ankara for a one-day visit and met his Turkish counterpart, Fidan.

Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Ceyhun Bayramov will pay a one-day visit to Ankara on Aug. 27 to discuss regional matters, particularly ongoing normalization efforts between Türkiye and Armenia and Azerbaijan and Armenia, with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, on a two-day visit to Baku, reasserted Moscow's commitment to mediating peace negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, despite Russia's ongoing Ukraine campaign.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has indicated that Turkey might intervene in Israel, similar to its past actions in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh, although he did not specify the type of intervention he was considering. This statement was reported by Reuters.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan does not fear provoking Europe or the United States. He blackmailed NATO to get more jetfighters and force Sweden to return peaceful dissidents to torture and imprison. He withholds F-35 joint strike fighter schematics that contractually he must return, raising concern he could sell them to Russia or China or use them to bolster his son-in-law's military manufacturer.

Türkiye opposed a trilateral meeting between Armenia, the United States, and the European Union scheduled for Friday in Brussels, saying Azerbaijan's absence would undermine the neutral approach to the region's complex problems and could fuel geopolitical conflict.

Azerbaijani President İlham Aliyev has said that the decades-long conflict between Baku and Yerevan has finally given way to an unprecedented opportunity for peace that the sides have never had before.

Tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan have surged once again, with Armenia accusing Azerbaijan of a deadly attack that claimed the lives of two soldiers and left several others injured. This accusation follows a similar claim made by Baku just a day prior, alleging that one of its soldiers had been wounded in a separate incident.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said on Wednesday that conditions for a peace treaty with arch-foe Armenia had been "created," adding that he did not want another war.

The two Caucasus neighbors and historical foes have fought two wars over the Nagorno-Karabakh region during the past three decades, with Baku retaking control of the territory in a one-day offensive last fall.
