Expert: Azerbaijan and Turkey launch joint military drills near Armenia

Azerbaijani and Turkish troops have begun two joint military exercises in Nakhichevan, Varuzhan Geghamyan, a geopolitical strategist and regional security expert, has warned.

"While Armenia’s de facto leader is attacking the Armenian Apostolic Church as a national institution, Azerbaijan and Turkey have launched two military drills – Unshakable Brotherhood 2025 and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk 2025 – right under our nose, in Nakhichevan," Geghamyan wrote on Telegram on Tuesday.

He underscored that the exercises highlight the pressing national security challenges facing Armenia. "This is exactly what Armenia’s leader should be dealing with. It's the only national priority that truly matters," the expert stated.
