Media Review for November 17

The newspaper Azerbaijan devoted an article to the Day of Revival, celebrated annually on November 17. On this day in 1988, the national liberation movement began in Azerbaijan. The people, on the one hand, fought for their freedom, and on the other, against the Armenian aggressors. During this period, the country needed a strong leader, which Heydar Aliyev became. His rise to power in 1993 eliminated the threat of loss of statehood and civil war.

The website Redaktor.az assesses the situation in Kalbajar in connection with the continued stay of Armenians in this region. As you know, the deadline for their release was set until November 15, but due to technical reasons, the deadline was extended. It is quite possible that this could be an insidious plan of the Armenians, since before December 1 they can commit any provocation.

MP Fazil Mustafa believes that in this case, Azerbaijan will take actions that it considers necessary. In his opinion, the concern of the country's citizens about this is quite justified. He stated that if Russia cannot withdraw the Armenian troops from Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan will do it.

The website Moderator.az discusses the arrival of Turkish soldiers in Karabakh with the deputy Vahid Akhmedov. The MP believes that this is very important for Azerbaijan. Erdogan has already submitted a draft on this issue to the Turkish parliament. Sending military personnel to Karabakh is impossible without parliamentary approval.

As you know, the Armenian side has stated that its troops will not be withdrawn from Karabakh, which creates certain problems. True, the Russian peacekeepers are there to withdraw the Armenian troops from there, this is their task, nevertheless, the presence of the Turkish military in Karabakh would be useful, the MP said.
