It analyzes two critical variables: Turkish involvement and Russia's strategic and economic relationship with Azerbaijan. In light of Turkey's military and diplomatic support for Azerbaijan, Russia sought to avoid confrontation with a NATO member and regional power. Simultaneously, Russia's strong political and economic ties with Azerbaijan, particularly in energy and trade, made it a strategic partner that Russia was unwilling to lose - especially in the context of the ongoing war with Ukraine.}, keywords = {Russland; Russia; Türkei; Turkey; Aserbaidschan; Azerbaijan; Kaukasusregion; Caucasus region; internationale Beziehungen; international relations}}
