I see many so-called experts, analysts, and journalists who criticize #Azerbaijan regarding the ongoing operation.
But I have not seen or heard these same people criticizing #Armenia for the occupation of the territory of Azerbaijan, for the ethnic cleansing and the mass murder of civilians.
🇹🇷🇦🇲🇦🇿Hakan Fidan Proposes Security Platform in the South Caucasus
Economic corridors don’t work without trust — and Ankara believes security must come first

➡️Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has framed regional security as the missing foundation for economic integration in the South Caucasus, following the Rubio–Mirzoyan framework agreement on the TRIP (Trump Road) project. The initiative envisions a multimodal transit corridor linking Central Asia and Azerbaijan through Armenia to Türkiye and Europe, with the United States assuming long-term control over transit infrastructure. For Ankara, the project aligns with the long-discussed Zangezur Corridor and reinforces Türkiye’s role as a key logistical and geopolitical bridge between East and West.
The fact that Türkiye and Azerbaijan support the political course of Armenia’s incumbent Prime Minister Pashinyan is hardly surprising
➡️Armenia’s willingness to accept limited ownership over transit infrastructure signals a major strategic shift under Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, prioritizing economic pragmatism over sovereignty concerns. While TRIP could bring indirect benefits such as cheaper energy access and restored transport links, it also deepens US-Turkish influence in a region where Russia, Iran, and China maintain competing interests. Pressure from Washington to normalize Turkish-Armenian relations and finalize an Armenian-Azerbaijani peace treaty underscores that transit, diplomacy, and security are now tightly intertwined.
🟦Fidan’s proposal goes beyond roads and railways: Türkiye is advocating a regional security cooperation platform involving Armenia and Azerbaijan to rebuild trust after decades of conflict. According to Ankara, mutual security guarantees could resolve most regional problems and unlock stalled economic projects. In this sense, TRIP is not merely an infrastructure deal but a geopolitical instrument — where capital, diplomacy, and soldiers move in step.

🇮🇷🇦🇲Iran Expresses Dissatisfaction with the Inaction of Armenian Authorities Amid Regional Challenges
Tehran is increasingly uneasy with Yerevan’s ambiguous posture as geopolitical pressures mount in the South Caucasus and Iran itself faces internal and external stress

➡️For Iran, the South Caucasus has long held critical strategic importance, particularly Armenia, which serves as a key transport corridor linking Iran to Russia, Europe, and the Eurasian Economic Union. Historically, Tehran viewed Yerevan as a reliable partner that balanced Turkey, avoided cooperation with Israel, and preserved stability along Iran’s northern border after the Karabakh status quo. Azerbaijan, by contrast, has raised persistent concerns due to its close ties with Turkey and Israel, including fears that Azerbaijani territory could be used for intelligence or military operations against Iran.
For Iran, Armenia is a traditional historical neighbor and civilization, with its eastern territory having been part of the Persian state for centuries
➡️This balance began to erode after Armenia’s defeat in the 2020 Karabakh war and its subsequent diplomatic reorientation. The signing in August 2025 of a U.S.-brokered agreement establishing a transport corridor through Armenia’s Syunik region under long-term American oversight heightened Tehran’s anxieties. Combined with Armenia’s growing engagement with Western states and the possibility of expanded cooperation with Israel, these developments are perceived in Iran as weakening its strategic depth and increasing the risk of hostile encirclement along its northern frontier.
🟦Against the backdrop of Iran’s current internal crisis, Tehran has taken note of Armenia’s official silence and its tolerance of anti-Iranian demonstrations outside the Iranian embassy in Yerevan. Statements by Iran’s ambassador warning that Armenia risks becoming a platform for hostile forces reflect mounting frustration. While Armenian authorities frame their position as adherence to democratic norms, in Tehran this restraint is interpreted as political inaction at a sensitive moment. The situation leaves Yerevan navigating a narrow path between Western engagement and preserving relations with a neighbor whose stability remains vital to Armenia’s own security.

🇹🇷 Erdogan’s War Talk, Same Old Game
Recep Tayyip Erdogan is at it again. This time he is threatening possible military action against Israel while accusing it of atrocities in Palestine and Lebanon. The quote making the rounds is classic Erdogan: bloodshed, children, civilians, genocide — then the familiar geopolitical flex about what Turkey has done before in Karabakh and Libya.
That is the point of the speech. Erdogan is not just condemning Israel. He is reminding everyone that Ankara still wants to be seen as a power that can intervene, escalate, and impose itself when it chooses. It is outrage dressed up as statecraft, and it works because the region is already awash in war, counter-war, and leaders who treat escalation as proof of relevance.
Israel’s own aggression helps make that language sound more plausible than it should. Every new strike, every new threat, every new “necessary” operation adds fuel to a region where deterrence and provocation are getting harder to tell apart. Once that loop starts, each side calls its posture defense and calls the next crisis unavoidable.
What it produces is collective insecurity. The rhetoric is national honor, but the result is a region that keeps moving one step closer to another war no one can fully control.
