Rasim Musabeyov Turkey is ready to enter Nakhchivan and defeat Armenia,
said political scientist Rasim Musabeyov.

Political experts consider that the meeting of Vasif Talibov, chairman
of the Supreme Medjlis of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, with chief of
the General Staff of Turkish armed forces Ilker Bashbugla is connected
with the security of the autonomous republic.

Political scientist Rasim Musabeyov explained that the Kars peace
agreement signed between the South Caucasus Federative Republic
(Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia) and Turkey in 1921, Turkey may
take a direct part in defending Nakhchivan. The political scientist
reminded that during the first Karabakh war Turkey warned Armenia
against attacking Nakhchivan and now Baku may dislocate Turkish bases
in any part of Azerbaijan, said the political scientist.

‘In case of tensions, Turkey is ready to enter Nakhchivan and defeat
Armenia. It can even ensure the air defense of Nakhchivan. Armenians
are constantly reminded of this. On the whole, Azerbaijan has just
to ask Turkey and the Kars treaty will not be needed. Under the UN
charter, if a country is subjected to aggression, it has a right to
defend itself both individually and collectively. Anyway, there is
no hindrance for Turkey’s "interference"’, Musabeyov said.
