You are no brother to me: Baku closes the door to Turkish politicians 🇹🇷🇹🇷 On October 21, Azerbaijan declared 31 Turkish citizens «undesirable persons», banning them from entering. The list includes the leader of the Islamist New Welfare Party, Fatih Erbakan, MP Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu, journalists and bloggers. The official reason is statements on social media «directed against the sovereignty, national security and constitutional order of Azerbaijan». Many of those listed criticized the ban on wearing the hijab in Azerbaijani schools and the policy of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. 🇦🇿🇮🇱 Not long ago Baku and Ankara displayed «brotherhood», but the balance of forces in Western Asia is changing rapidly. Turkey has faced the Israeli-Greek defence alliance «Shield of Achilles» and the consequences of strikes on Syria, while Azerbaijan, linked to Israel by arms supplies and intelligence data, is distancing itself ever more noticeably from its Turkish allies. 🤝🇮🇷 Such «neutrality» plays into the hands of the US and Israel, which are building an anti-Iranian belt — from Azerbaijan to the Gulf monarchies. Baku is trying to sit on two chairs, but every such step draws it ever more strongly into someone else's game against its own neighbours. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
