“Erdogan took a bold and unexpected step, clearly realizing what benefits it may gain, and by that step it surprised Russia. Currently the Russian side should understand how it should reflect to Turkey’s attempts of rapprochement, as it shouldn’t neither get excited nor lose Turkey, as Russia-Turkey relations won’t overcome another crisis, Turkey shouldn’t be “threatened” and instigated by acknowledging Erdogan’s sore spots.”
There is a serious risk that long-range ground-to-ground missiles would be used and casualties, particularly civilian, be much higher in the effort to gain a decisive ground advantage. In the wake of the April fighting, the publics in Armenia and Azerbaijan are more ready for military solutions than at any time in 25 years.

“I told previously that Azerbaijan will attempt to make use of any instability in the region, which it attempted to do in April. I’m also of the conviction that activities of Azerbaijan with Turkey aren’t particularly agreed, as Turkey attempts to keep some distance from the conflict, and Azerbaijan strives to involve Turkey.

“As I already mentioned, rather serious efforts are exerted, in particular, by the MG Co-Chairs. This is not the time of public diplomacy, and I don’t tend to comment on one of the public statements. Let the diplomacy work,” he said.
“The duduk plays hot, but its loud voice seems pleasant to the ear, the drum plays loud but softly and behind that music you see another—the music of beautiful movement of flexible human body, free play in the variegated waves of bright clothes. At the moments when slenderness of multi-head body movements was increasing, turning into golden and apricot-color storm, I was waiting that the chain of dancers would broke into separate circles, however, even in that storm they were keeping united dynamics of movements, increasing and deepening the impression of power and unity.”
“In Azerbaijan’s recent activities position of Turkey’s authorities had its active role. There is no need reminding of the statement released by the Turkish authorities throughout the days of the April war, to which we have repeatedly reflected and insisted, that they instigate Azerbaijan for provocations on the contact line. Russian side also reflected to it on the level of Foreign Minister.”
An alternative route is presently offered to the freight transporters—through the sea. To get to Russia our trucks should head for Poti, and from there to be transported to the port of Novorossiysk through a ferry and continue the overland route. On the one hand, this extends the route, on the other hand, it creates additional financial and other difficulties for freight transporters.
