Tensions between Azerbaijan and Turkey have escalated after President Aliyev's absence from the Turkic summit, per Reuters.

Azerbaijani officials claim the snub was a response to Turkish President Erdoğan’s own non-attendance, as reported by Turkish Minute.

The rift threatens major US and EU-backed projects linking Baku and Ankara, RFE/RL notes.
