The Turkish regime sent military forces to Azerbaijan, to participate in joint military exercises between the two countries, after days of escalation between the Armenian and Azerbaijani armies in the Karabakh region, and the exchange of bombing of military sites.

A military plane carrying Turkish soldiers arrived at Baku airport, followed by a ceremony to welcome them at the Umit Bridge at the Sidirik border crossing of the Republic of Nakhchivan.

It is scheduled to begin joint military exercises between the Turks and Azerbaijanis on July 29 this month, lasting for 13 days.

The exercises will include tests of warplanes readiness in the two countries, and include the regions of Baku, the capital, Nakhchivan, Kanjeh, Kordimir, and Yulakh.

Also, during the maneuvers, the readiness of the forces will be tested on the implementation of military command orders, and the firing of armored vehicles, artillery and mortars "at hypothetical enemy targets."

This comes in conjunction with the statement of the Turkish regime's foreign minister,Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, in which he said that Armenia took advantage of the period of the spread of the Coruna virus to launch its recent attacks against the lands of Azerbaijan.

Observers believe that the Turkish move is a new military provocation by the Turkish regime, which could lead to a significant escalation of tension in the Caucasus.
