Evidence Quote

Even the humiliation of 2,000 Russian peacekeepers that were deployed to Nagorno Carabah is representing an emboldened Azerbajan sometimes recklessly so believing it has much stronger blind Turkish support than it truly does and at the same time pushing the envelope and I do think there will be a price to pay over the medium to long term.
