Armenia, with a population of barely 3 million, has lost more than 1,000 young soldiers in a month.Extermination is a legitimate policy tool for Turkey, something it has attempted with Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians and, more recently, Kurds. Not only does Turkey not recognize it, but Erdoğan has begun to boast about it. The Armenian Genocide was foundational for Turkey.
The war is part of a larger imperial design, the ultimate goal of which is, not in the very long term, the disappearance of Armenia itself.
The Turkish regime does not disguise the racism inherent in its imperialist project because it does not have to.Most of the purchases of drones, rocket launchers, ammunition and other weapons arrived were after July, when border clashes between Armenian and Azeri forces prompted Turkey and Azerbaijan to conduct joint military exercises.īased on these premises, we may draw the following observations: The figures compiled by the Turkish Exporters’ Assembly show that Azerbaijan bought US$123 million in defence and aviation equipment from Turkey in the first nine months of 2020. It is not a simple coincidence that Turkey’s military exports to Azerbaijan rose six-fold this year, with sales of drones and other military equipment rising to US$77 million last month alone, just before fighting broke out over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Even before the conflict had started, Turkey was actively cultivating its military ties with Azerbaijan, taking it to new heights. Even while Azerbaijan may have legitimate concerns with regards to the disputed territory, Turkish active military sponsorship has already turned the dispute into a multi-lateral issue. Instead of helping diffuse tensions, Ankara is actively sponsoring conflicts.
