YEREVAN—Residents of Artsakh’s capital Stepanakert are bracing for another night of incessant air-raid sirens following destructive drone strikes throughout the early morning hours. In a noteworthy turn of events, Turkey’s involvement in the conflict reached new heights on Wednesday when the Armenian government announced that Azerbaijan had transferred control of its coordinated airstrikes against Artsakh to the Turkish Air Force. Armenia’s Defense Ministry says the operations are based out of the Turkish E7-T airborne C2 station in the region of Erzurum and Kars. “Provocative actions of Turkish armed forces seriously undermine regional security and hinder the efforts of the international community to cease hostilities,” read a statement from Armenia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

While many Azerbaijan soldiers are dying in the conflict Turkey stands aside. Despite the Turkey’s promises, they haven’t support Azerbaijan in deeds. Earlier president Recep Tayyip Erdogan says it will back Azerbaijan with all means necessary. He also was quick to voice support for Azerbaijan, labeling Armenia “the biggest threat to peace in the region.” The Turkish leader called on “the entire world to stand with Azerbaijan in their battle against invasion and cruelty.” However, Ankara refuses to engage in open confrontation. Prospects of participation of Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remain doubtful. Further military operations will lead only to new senseless losses among the Azerbaijani military.
