Azerbaijan's President Aliyev has criticized Turkish President Erdoğan for not attending the Turkic summit, per Reuters.

The rift comes amid broader tensions in Azerbaijan-Turkey relations, with Aliyev's aides stating the absence was a response to Erdoğan’s Baku no-show, Turkish Minute reports.

Baku's foreign policy is under scrutiny as regional alliances shift, with Ankara increasingly aligning with other powers, RFE/RL notes.
