Image: Azeri traditional musical instrument: Tār On the Road to Baku: Gregory R Copley: Defense and Foreign Affairs; Gregory R Copley, The New Total War of the Twenty-first Century and the Trigger of the Fear Pandemic, in re: Azerbaijan now has a direct land bridge to Turkey and thence to Europe. The Armenian PM will soon leave. The Armenian enclave, Nakhchivan. Russia has been in this region since 1804; Moscow wants to retain a land bridge into the Middle East and Iran. Linkage between Russia and Iran: a mutual distaste and mutual need. A new alliance between Russia, Iran, China, to create a geopolitical space the US can't reach. Turkey: Azerbaijan has grown strong on its own and with Israel’s help; there are Turkish flags all along the roads in Azerbaijan.
