"I just want to remind you that Turkey was on the side of the
Azerbaijan Republic from the very beginning of the conflict. In
state-to-state relationship we had and still have a wide range of
military-technical cooperation and comprehensive material and
technical support," told Vesti.az major general of Azerbaijan
Alexander Vasyak commenting on the question of Turkey's role in the
region.
Major-General reminded that, in the media and the Azerbaijani expert
community rumors were being discussed about the possibility of direct
participation of Turkish army in the conflict, which will be conducted
at the level of Special Forces. Unification of land troops and air
strikers is also possible.
"I have already spoken about this and there is no sense to repeat it
as it is absolutely clear that no one will is going to fight for us.
But Turkey has helped Azerbaijan and will help in educating military
personnel, training of the staff and all the control components of
troops and weapons, aircraft logistics, study and development of NATO
standards, development of documents and construction plans for
military and national security," Vasyak says.
According to military experts, in political point of view, the
possibilities of Ankara are now shackled by the role of Turkey in
Syrian conflict and by unpredictability of its development. In this
regard, Vasyak expressed doubts that Turkey will pursue an active
policy in the South Caucasus, nevertheless, he recalled the words of
the American Council expert on foreign policy Wayne Merry, "Turkey
undertook the patronage of Azerbaijan."
"Turkey has always been a major regional player in our region, but I
would not dare to predict and give her a leading role in Karabakh
conflict settlement process," A. Vasyak noted.
