>President of Turkey Erdoğan stated that President of Azerbaijan Aliyev does not seek further escalation of tensions between Baku and Moscow.
>"Russia and Azerbaijan possess the wisdom necessary to overcome this crisis," Erdoğan noted, adding that Turkey supports "constructive steps aimed at de-escalation."

Turkey has significantly expanded its influence in Central Asian countries and is working to weaken Moscow's dominance without provoking escalation, while maintaining regional stability. This stands in stark contrast to Russia's approach, which has relied on stirring up interethnic conflicts to assert dominance.

Azerbaijan has demonstrated that it has the tools and capabilities not to be a Russian colony — and to distance itself from Moscow.

Why has all this become possible? Because Ukraine is exhausting Russia on the battlefield and exposing its weakness.

This is precisely why Russia is waging such a brutal war against Ukraine — because only by conquering Ukraine can it hope to remain an empire.

But Ukraine is showing the entire world that Russia is a colossus with feet of clay.
