Turkey plans military drills with Azerbaijan after Iran's army exercises near border
2021-10-04
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
will hold joint military drills with Azerbaijan this week in a region bordering Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

after Baku’s government criticized Tehran for staging army exercises near its border.

"The Steadfast Brotherhood-2021 drill will take place with the participation of Turkey and Azerbaijan in Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan between 5-8 October," a spokeswoman for Turkey’s Ministry of Defense said on Sunday.

Iran’s army began on Friday military exercises near its border with Azerbaijan amid Tehran’s skepticism of Baku’s ties with the West in general and Israel specifically. Artillery, drones and helicopters participated in Iran’s drills.

"We do not tolerate the presence and activity against our national security of... Israel, next to our borders. And we will carry out any necessary action in this regard." Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said.

Azerbaijan and Israel have strengthened their military alliance in recent months, with Israeli-supplied high-tech drones helping Azerbaijan in its conflict with Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region last year.

Iran alleged that during the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict last year, ISIS snuffies were brought into the region.

"The overt and covert presence of [Israel's] proxies and the possibility of a significant number of ISIS bully boyz in regional countries add to the importance of this exercise," Iranian Army's Ground Force Brigadier General Kioumars Heydari said.
