Messages from Baku, in a way that those who do not understand will understand

The results of a 44-day war, which ended in victory for Azerbaijan, were displayed to the whole world in Baku in ceremonies, attended by President Erdoğan, loaded with intense messages.

This victory was as much Turkey's victory as Azerbaijan's, because, as everyone knows, the military, technical and technological support Turkey gave under President Erdoğan's leadership completely determined the course of this event. Moreover, the fact that it began with the aggression of the Armenian side, not the Azerbaijani side, further reinforces both the value, the meaning and the justness of this victory, adding glory to its glory.

The process that led, after a final act of Armenian aggression, to the end of a situation that the whole world had for 30 years recognized as an occupation gave the Azerbaijani side every kind of moral superiority in this war.

As President Erdoğan also underlined in the ceremonies, although the whole world recognized Armenia as an aggressor and occupier, no one was undertaking any initiative to end this occupation. Perhaps the fact that countries, even if they voice their views in international disputes, do not readily want to intervene, and do not want to become a party to a conflict by getting involved in disputes, has an understandable side. This may be the reason many international disputes continue in this way.

In fact, beyond this, the MİNSK Dialogue Group, made up of quite powerful countries, had been established for the solution of the Karabakh problem. The aim of this group envisaged that the events be resolved without need for a new war. But over time it was understood that this group, although it officially regarded the situation as an occupation, was never engaged in any effort to end the occupation. On the contrary, all the group's activity was in fact nothing but turning the existing occupation over time into a fait accompli and stalling Azerbaijan against any actual intervention against Armenia.

Although one factor that led the co-chairs of the MİNSK group in particular (the US, France and Russia) to act this way is explained by the presence of a strong Armenian diaspora within each of them, it was clear that the reason lay deeper. That is, these countries were openly supporting the Armenian occupation and were in no way acting honestly in the dialogue efforts. Indeed, when things got serious and Azerbaijan set out to cut its own umbilical cord, it was seen that France in particular took an even more occupier-like stance on this matter than Armenia. By passing in its own parliament a resolution recognizing the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh, France on this occasion revealed not only its own position but in fact the intention and function of the entire MİNSK group.

It turned out for the best: the traps they set and the tricks they played got tangled around their own feet, and going for the rice, they lost the bulgur they had at home. Azerbaijan, with its own means and of course only with Turkey's support, repelled Armenia, which had moved to a new phase of attack, from Karabakh, which it had held under occupation for 30 years. On the occasion of the ceremonies in Baku, Erdoğan and Aliyev gave the whole world this message in all clarity:

In today's world order, unfortunately, being right is not enough; one must also be strong. The criticisms Erdoğan has directed for years at the existing world order by stating that the world is bigger than five have taken a concrete form. Erdoğan thus in effect demonstrates that justice cannot be expected from the present mercy of the world order. One does not ask for rights from this world's order; one takes them.

In Azerbaijan, Syria, Libya and the Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey does not leave its rights to the mercy of the strong and the sweet-tongued wrongdoers; it gathers, when necessary, the strength it needs to take its right. In Baku, with its magnificent displays, the show of the SİHAs, Kirpi vehicles, Turkish howitzers and all the products of the defense industry showed only the power of right and justice.

The order Erdoğan proposes and has begun to establish in the region as a result of this victory is far from a spiteful, vengeful arrogance or disdain that tries to crush and torment the enemy. His inviting Armenia too to the peace and regional cooperation platform envisaged to be established with the participation of Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran and Georgia, thus proposing that this six-party structure become a basis for regional peace, is a move that should be watched with attention and appreciation, in the name of peace and human values all over the world.

To be able to say to a country that has just emerged from a war, "we have no problem with the Armenians, and we have no grudge or enmity against them in essence," is very important. This message needs to be heard and grasped well not only by the Armenians but by the whole world.

The so-called European states and the US, which carry grudges and blood feuds from century-old matters to the present, and which try to stir up history that should not be itched at, giving them a premium, also need to listen to this well. What they do is nothing but further increasing grudge, hatred and enmity among people and creating unsolvable problems.

This is the hand Turkey extended, the messages it gave and the values it recalled at the very moment of its greatest superiority. These are the concrete horizon and proposals for the more just world of the future of a Turkey that objects to a world limited to five.

To those who do not understand, it was shown in Baku in a way they will understand.
