“Azerbaijan is the only country in the world that loves us. Two states, one nation! Yet we see that even our relations with Azerbaijan are on the verge of breaking down.”
Globalinfo.az reports that prominent Turkish writer and journalist Yılmaz Özdil said this.
He said many people believe the issue is related to the hijab, but the real problem runs deeper:
“Azerbaijan signed an agreement with Israel on cooperation in military defence. On the same day — the day the military defence cooperation agreement between Azerbaijan and Israel was signed — a military trade exhibition opened in Yerevan, the Armenian capital. Only two countries took part in the opening of the exhibition: Armenia and Iran. That is because Iran organised the exhibition in Armenia.
Pay attention to two events that took place on the same day: Iran stands with Armenia, while Israel stands with Azerbaijan.
This is because they always view the world from their own capitals. Jewish Israel and Muslim Azerbaijan, Muslim Iran and Christian Armenia…
No one but us approaches events through the prism of religion and sect. Everyone looks from their own capital and calculates the interests of their own people. Baku with Tel Aviv, Tehran with Yerevan… Everyone assesses the world within the framework of the interests of their own capital.
In other words, such deep and strategic alliances are being formed right under our noses. Meanwhile, we are preoccupied with the Palestinian issue and the hijab.”
Yılmaz Özdil stressed that Türkiye should not interfere in Azerbaijan’s national state-building process:
“Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas visited the Greek part of Cyprus on October 29, the date on which Republic Day is celebrated in Türkiye. He deliberately chose the date. He once again demonstrated that he stands with the Greek administration of Cyprus and ignores Northern Cyprus. Yet we are damaging our relations with Azerbaijan because of these Palestinians.”
