🇹🇷An interesting aspect of the Turkish elections, which directly concern Russia. So, a week ago, Kılıçdaroglu announced his project “Neither West nor East, but the Turkic Way” . So, this path should lead to China and go through Iran past Azerbaijan and the “Zangezur corridor” fostered by Aliyev. Baku was notably angry with this. And we will understand that the opposition will not colonize Azerbaijan in this way - Aliyev clearly supported Erdogan. Under Kılıçdaroğlu, the role of the Turks will decrease significantly, most likely in Transcaucasia. This is important for Armenia, Iran and, of course, Russia as the main one in the region.

But how Western-oriented Kilichdaroglu is going to work through Iran and also in the Chinese project is still unclear.
