RASIM MUSABEKOV: RUSSIA PRESSES ON GEORGIA TO RULE THE ENTIRE SOUTH CAUCASUS

The situation in the South Caucasus is not easy, according to an Azeri political scientist. “Nevertheless, I think that Georgian and Russian leaders will be wise enough to prevent a tragedy,” Rasim Musabekov said when commenting on recent tensions between the two countries. Touching on Azerbaijan, he said, “These tensions have direct influence on Baku and use of force would be undesirable. Azerbaijan is in a better condition because Turkey will interfere in case of any aggression. Russia understands this and directs its pressure on Georgia to rule the entire South Caucasus. However, this scenario is pregnant with unpredictable consequences, first of all for Russia itself,” he said, 1news.az reports.

So they are using the Turks to threaten the Russians?
LMAO!
Turkey will never go into a war with Russia, especially nowdays!
Russia will crush them within days no matter what the Turkish military's power might be. If the Turks did not interfere in the Karabakh war on the side of their 'brothers' they will never interfere now, especially in a direct confrontation with the Russians. The guy is full of crap and paranoid in the first place.
