A new war among the southern borders of Russia has become a logical manifestation of the growth of the influence of third -party forces in the already unstable region. Kyrgyzstan And Tajikistanwhich began fighting due to a dispute about the water belonging of the Isfara River, are included in different zones of geopolitical interests. Tajikistan – Persian, and Kyrgyzstan – Turkic.
The last decade Tehran has been influenced in Tajikistan – political, cultural, economic. It was in Dushanbe that one of the first foreign offices of the state news agency FARS, and now Iran takes second place in terms of foreign investment in the country after China.
Türkiye and Iran have already expressed their readiness to participate in a peaceful settlement of the conflict on Isfar. But it seems that this is only a diplomatic curtsy. In fact, both countries may be interested in fighting with each other with strangers.
Moreover, the border conflict due to the Isfara River has many years of history. And, of course, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan are also great for the temptation to resolve it radically, by military means, according to the type of Karabakh conflict.
It was no coincidence that the battles for Isfara began just six months after the end of the Karabakh war, in which the role was clearly guessed Turkey. Already this year, the official Ankara unequivocally outlined its military-political interest in Central Asia: Foreign Minister Mevlut Chavoshoglu made a tour of March 6 to 9 Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan And Kyrgyzstan.
With the Uzbek side, Türkiye has already concluded an agreement on defense cooperation, and then conducted joint military exercises. And the head of the General Staff followed them personally Turkey General Yashar Guler.
In the case of Kyrgyzstan, Türkiye intends only to create a free trade zone and bring trade to $ 1 billion per year. True, including due to defense supplies. Interest in Turkish weapons, first of all, by combat drones, sharply grew precisely after mountain battles in Artsakh.
Not further than April 3, with the head of the Kyrgyz Foreign Ministry, he met his colleague from Azerbaijan Jayhun Bayramov. According to official information, they also discussed the situation in Nagorno -Karabakh.
It would seem why suddenly Kyrgyz was interested in distant Karabakh? But now you can guess why.
