| | Azerbaijan conflict
Here are the links: Erdogan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVrHU5WJkAo Aliyev https://twitter.com/presidentaz/stat...18307515318272
There has been limited and poor coverage of the conflict in the Caucasus in the news and when it is reported it is presented as a conflict over land.
Armenia is a democracy after years of corrupt leaders, surrounded by two countries lead by genocidal corrupt dictators who have internal issues so are playing international politics.
The EU, USA and the UK do and say nothing and let Erdogan export his aggression in Libya, Armenia, Syria and the Mediterranean. Only Macron has challenged Erdogan. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/01/w...menia-war.html
Azerbaijan openly uses IS mercenary fighters and Turkish controlled drones to attack civilians and civilian infrastructure.

It's a dangerous game, sorry for Armenia and even the Azeri pawns, but I suspect that Erdoğan is just arranging as many pieces on the table as possible in order to gain leverage for future negotiations. Northern Syria, Libya, eastern Mediterranean gas, incursions in Greek and Chypriot territories, waves of refugees both at the land border with Greece and in Libya... and whatever else. The only clear thing to me is that Turkey's worsening financial situation will force him to negotiate. Unclear however if the Armenians and Azeris will be able to wind that down when Erdoğan abandons the latter.

EU tentacles....errr diplomatic organisms are acting since last July https://www.osce.org/parliamentary-assembly/457543 https://www.osce.org/minsk-group/465711
It is quite a coincidence that natural gas from Azerbaijan was expected to be pumped through the Southern Gas Corridor into the EU starting in October 2020. This pipeline is north of the conflict zone ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Gas_Corridor). The Baku-Ceyhan oil pipeline ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baku%E...eyhan_pipeline) is also near the conflict zone.
So, it's in the interest of the EU that the conflict de-escalates. Also relevant, the only nation upset with the EU having a pipeline delivering natural gas not coming from and passing through Russia is Russia.

He has recruited IS jihadists previously fighting in Syria and is using Turkish controlled drones to attack civilians

The OSCE is not the EU. Its an organization that includes Turkey, Russia and the former Soviet Republics (as well as the US and Canada). They are based in Vienna and their job is peace keeping and building up countries after conflicts, for example in the Balkans.
In short: it is the perfect international organization to help deescalate the conflict with diplomatic means.

My mistake, not an expert at all in this. Well, the point is there's an effort to de-escalate the conflict. Hope it works.

Turkey has also successfully used their own domestic drones' capabilities in real battlefields of Syria and Libya.

In Benings and Geneve there were orphanages organized by Antony Krafft-Bonnard and founded by Swiss philanthropists for the Armenian orphans after massacres of Armenians in the Ottoman empire. http://www.genocide-museum.am/eng/02.07.2009.php

Did you see any joint NATO forces invoking the article and invading Syria when Turkish troops got killed?
