Azerbaijan and Turkey have good potential of cooperation, Azeri political scientist Hikmet Hajizadeh said.
“I would not like to enlarge on new fields but everyone knows that during recent 10 years relations between our states cannot be characterized as fraternal. Turkish businessmen abandon Azerbaijan. I was informed that Azeri citizens have almost no possibility to purchase realty in Turkey. Turkish officers who are training our personnel are forced to leave Azerbaijan. Conclusion is not comforting: Azerbaijan and Turkey are not fraternal states any more but partners with common interests,” Hajizadeh said.
When commenting on Turkey’s incursion into Iraq, the Azeri scholar said, “The scenario is highly possible. Moreover, Turkey used to carry out such operations in the past. If the U.S. and Iraqi government fail to curb the PKK, Turkey should resort to the move and intrude into the territory, which is out of control,” Day.az reports.
