Since the announcement of peace treaty imposed by Moscow on Armenia and Azerbaijan in the context of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, Ankara has multiplied its initiatives to appear to be at the heart of the solution, alongside Russia. And the Turkish authorities repeated that Turkey would participate in the deployed interposition force to secure the peace agreement, and prevent the belligerents from taking up arms again, as was the case so many times during previous ceasefires.
