Expanding Russia-Iran-Turkey Alliance Puts the US on Back-Foot

[Pax Ottomana]

Even if most Azerbaijanis wanted to join Turkey -- which they don't because it's simply better to be independent while maintaining a close relationship with Turkey -- it would be a colossal feat to pull given just about every world power would strongly oppose it. Especially:

• Russia
• Iran
• USA
• EU

Turkey can't even annex North Cyprus.
