The Turkish edition of Yeni Akit released material, in which the head of the Department of History of the Istanbul University of Marmara, Professor Okan Yecilot, shares his opinion on the events in the South Caucasus. Main theme, which rises in the material, concerns what is happening in Nagorno-Karabakh.
According to a professor at Marmara University, “For a long time Azerbaijan was under the occupation of the British, Bolsheviks, then Armenians ". interesting interpretation: if not a part of the Turkish state, so “under occupation”…
AT 1918 year, as the Turkish professor reminds, the so-called Batumi treaty was signed with the Ottoman state, where Azerbaijan asked for military assistance from the Ottoman Empire.
from the article:
And although the Ottoman Empire lost most of its Caucasian armies during the Sarikamish operation, she did not decline this call for help.
The history professor draws parallels to the request for help in 1918 year with events of the year 2020. Although President Ilham Aliyev stated, that he did not ask for help from Turkey, she offered it herself.
Yechilot goes on to write about the years, during which Azerbaijan was part of the Soviet Union. of material:
During the existence of the USSR, a wall was put up between Azerbaijan and Turkey. But after the collapse of the Soviet Union, relations between independent Azerbaijan and the Republic of Turkey began to actively develop..
After that, the Turkish professor writes about, that already in the 1990s Azerbaijan "faced a new occupation - now Armenian".
Next Okan Yechilot adds a rather provocative thing (although his entire article looks provocative even from a historical point of view):
Ultimately, Armenia suffered a crushing defeat on all fronts., never received the expected support from Russia.
Further, a professor at the University of Marmara begins "chants" and "odes" to Recep Erdogan, who "helped Azerbaijan". The material summarizes, which celebrates, that "Turkey helped Azerbaijan to get rid of the long-term occupation", what became "Ankara's great geopolitical success".
