>Tensions between Russia and Azerbaijan continue to escalate. This represents a new diplomatic and geopolitical confrontation line with the Kremlin in the post-Soviet space.
These statements were made against the backdrop of a sharp conflict between Moscow and Baku, linked to the persecution of ethnic Azerbaijanis and Russian citizens of Azerbaijani origin, as well as citizens of Azerbaijan itself, by Russian security forces.
It is especially important to observe how the Kremlin will respond to these statements by the President of Azerbaijan, which clearly reflect a further deterioration in Azerbaijani-Russian relations and the diminishing of Russian influence in the Caucasus.
Following the return of Karabakh to Azerbaijani control, Azerbaijan has been expanding its influence both in the Caucasus and in the broader region that includes the former Soviet republics of Central Asia. Its main ally is Turkey, along with other forces interested in reducing Russian influence in the region.
The Kremlin realizes that it's not just Azerbaijan trying to break free from Moscow's sphere of influence. It's Armenia is as well.
Today, all of Russia's resources are tied up in its war against Ukraine. The Russians quite literally lack the means to carry out aggressive actions against other former Soviet republics.
Therefore, this is a perfect time and opportunity to move out from under the Russian influence - and Ukraine's heroic struggle against the Russian empire is directly connected to creating that opportunity.
One of the key points of contention is Azerbaijan's ambition to become a central hub for energy exports from Central Asia to the West - bypassing Russia. This is something Russia strongly opposes.
