Leaders in Turkey have expressed frustration in recent days at being cut from talks that led to a Russia-brokered truce deal in Nagorno-Karabakh, which crucially saw nearly 2,000 Russian peacekeeping troops deployed there in the end. week.

Turkey is looking to initiate plans for its own "peacekeeping" force to be deployed as a guarantor to ensure Azerbaijan's gains as part of the deal are maintained.

As part of the truce terms, Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh must return the Armenian ethnic districts of Aghdam, Kalbajar and Lachin to Azerbaijan according to a timeline negotiated under the Russians, which set December 1 as the delivery date of the districts.

Al Jazeera quotes the Azerbaijani media as reporting that "the Turkish government has submitted a motion to parliament, asking for its approval for the deployment of peacekeepers to monitor a ceasefire agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia".

So far, in the course of ongoing talks with Moscow, it has been agreed that Russia and Turkey can establish a joint monitoring center in Azerbaijan, but on the ground only Russians are allowed to control the ceasefire line. this is confirmed by the fact that the Ministry of Defense has confirmed that Turkish troops will not join the Russian forces on the ground. The solution was also good for the Azeris who, having obtained what they wanted, that is, large territorial gains, as well as the connection with their own enclave of Nakichevan, all without excessively breaking good relations with Moscow.

Now this parliamentary motion comes up which says: "It has been assessed that for the personnel of the Turkish Armed Forces … they must participate in the Joint Center that Turkey and Russia will form together, it will be beneficial for the peace and well-being of the population of the region and it is point of view of our national interests ”, according to the state agency Anadolu. This changes the whole situation by inserting Turkish soldiers into a particularly hot front. The Armenians are furious, to the limit of having attempted a coup against their president, so putting the Turkish troops on the border is a real catalyst for trouble. The truce is already unstable, the presence of Ankara would risk blowing it up.
