According to Flightradar 24, the four Turkish Bayraktar TB2s flew over Armenia on Sunday night, probably to strike military positions near Azerbaijan or lead fighters by identifying targets.
And here that divisions already present in Libya and Syria among the Middle Eastern powers is also to revive in the Caucasus region: l to Turkey, through its Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşo .lu, it declared its support (Turkish troops are already in Azerbaijan) in Baku, while Egypt has announced its support for Cairo in Armenia.
Meanwhile, air strikes continue, mainly using Turkish Bayraktar UCAVs armed with MAM-L missiles.
Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his deep concern over the escalation in the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) region in a telephone conversation with Armenian Prime Minister Nicole Pasinian. We note that Moscow, a friend of Yerevan, calls the Armenian president and this indicates a progressive alignment between the two countries.
The phone call, initiated by Armenia, " focused on the situation in the Nagorno-Karabakh area, " the Kremlin said. If the situation becomes too dramatic, a direct intervention of aid from the brother country is not impossible, indeed columns of Russian trucks are indicated entering Armenia via Iran. It is not clear what they carry, but they look like heavy vehicles.
