Turkey's goal in pushing Azerbaijan to war with Armenia was to empower Russia and bring its troops in...to partition Caucasus and prevent Armenia's drift toward the West; it wants to work with Russia everywhere. To partition with Iran, Russia and work against US. https://twitter.com/Jerusalem_Post/status/1345290023336349696

Turkey's lobbyists in the West sing Ankara's tune of "Ankara is a bulwark against Russia," but Ankara is all smiles when meeting Moscow's leadership; while it bashes the West. It wants to supplant US role everywhere to leverage areas, extremists against US and West.

Ankara's sole policy since 2016 has been to work with Iran and Russia everywhere. Every invasion has increased the influence of Russia and Iran, this has always been Ankara's goal.

Just look at Syria in October 2019: Russia came in, Turkey's mission accomplished.

- Libya in spring of 2020, Russia came in, Turkey's mission accomplished.

- Azerbaijan November 2020, Russia came in, Turkey's mission accomplished.

Turkey pretends it is against Iran and Russia when it was lobbying Trump via it's State Dept envoy and friends in DC...but it never worked with US on strategy in Libya, Caucasus, Syria...it worked against US...to bring Russia in. Russia/Turkey/Iran...that's the alliance.

This is an alliance of authoritarians. They have more in common with eachother than working with the US or anyone else. That's how you know Ankara is not "against Iran-Russia"...it is with Iran and Russia on many files.
