Tensions between Baku and Ankara have escalated as Azerbaijan's president Aliyev criticized Turkey's leadership following a summit absence, per rferl.org.

The rift threatens major regional projects backed by the US and EU, including energy infrastructure and trade corridors, as reported by the same source.

Meanwhile, international diplomacy remains strained with Turkish journalists noting that the absence was a direct response to Ankara's own non-participation in Baku events, Bloomberg reports.
