According to a report on the Russian 1st aviation portal on November 17, the Turkish President ordered the dispatch of thousands of Turkish soldiers to Azerbaijan.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed a decree calling for the dispatch of thousands of Turkish soldiers, armored vehicles and various weapons to Azerbaijan. The final decision will be made in the Turkish Grand National Assembly, but there is no doubt that it will gain support.
The Turkish National Assembly
The Turkish state-run Anadolu News Agency reported that the draft decree signed by President Erdogan was submitted to the parliament for approval on Monday, and the Turkish parliament will discuss the issue of sending troops to Azerbaijan.
The text of the decree drew attention to the joint statement on the Nagorno-Karabakh (Naka) armistice, as well as the Baku official request for the formation of a joint center between Turkey and the Russian Federation to monitor the ceasefire. The work of the center will aim to support steps to ensure the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and ensure peace and stability in the South Caucasus, which is reflected in the relevant resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and the OSCE. The document also emphasized that sending troops to Azerbaijan is in Turkey’s national interest.
Russian peacekeeping force
Earlier, despite Russia’s opposition, Turkey still announced that it would send troops to the region. According to reports, the Turkish armed forces have been stationed in the border areas with Azerbaijan and in areas controlled by Azerbaijan. The Turkish flag hung at the entrance to Stepanakert clearly shows this.
should point out that the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has previously stated clearly that the country opposes any presence of Turkish troops in the Karabakh region, but Turkey refuses to listen to such clichés, and it will not watch Russia pick the "fruits of victory".
Russian media said that since the ceasefire appeared, Turkey has repeatedly stated that it will also participate in peacekeeping operations in the Karabakh region. This has been categorically denied by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, claiming that there is no such clause in the agreement.
Russian peacekeeping forces are driving towards Stepanakert
In the image released by Russian reporters, you can see how the Russian peacekeeping military convoy is driving towards Stepanakert (the unrecognized capital of the Republic of Naga). However, more attentive netizens also saw the Turkish flag hung at the entrance of the city.
Although there is no other evidence that the Turkish army has been deployed here, the fact that the Turkish flag is flying proves that Ankara has indeed brought its troops into Karabakh.
Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had announced that Ankara had sent its military units to Karabakh and claimed that they “have the same rights as Russia (peacekeeping)”.
Russian peacekeeping forces headed for Stepanakert
Russian media commented that with the presence of Turkish troops in Karabakh, the conflict will inevitably resume, which is likely to affect Armenia. A few hours ago, the Russian peacekeeping force was attacked. It was reported that it was launched by the Naka army. It is said that the latter is still unwilling to recognize the peace agreement.
Russian media said, “The above actions by Turkey show that Russia does not have any influence on Karabakh Turkey. However, if Erdogan wants to show Putin his strength, then the Turkish army will obviously not stay in Syria.”
Previously, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that, despite the armistice between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Turkey still plans to maintain Syrian mercenaries in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh area, with a number of approximately 2,500.

According to foreign media, Russia did not participate in the previous war, but became the “biggest winner”. In the name of mediating the ceasefire between the two sides, it successfully persuaded the two sides to agree to deploy nearly 2,000 peacekeeping troops to the conflict zone in Naqa, and take control in one fell swoop. Two major strategic points in the region.
While Turkey vigorously supported Azerbaijan and won the war, it turned out to be a "spectator". Seeing Russia quickly dispatched troops to the region, it could only be anxious. Therefore, Erdogan decided to desperately send a "peacekeeping force" to the region to offend RussiaAlso do not hesitate.
The Turkish army
reported that Russia regards the South Caucasus as its “backyard”. Why don’t the Turks think that way? For many years, Turkey has tried to include the region in its power and influence, otherwise it would not be so. Actively support Azerbaijan to start the war, and anyone with a discerning eye can see all this.
