In his report on the recent geopolitical changes in the South Caucasus in the wake of the Second Karabakh War, he noted that Azerbaijan had won a decisive victory over Armenia in the 44-day war, liberated Azerbaijani territories in the Karabakh region, changed the balance of power in favor of Azerbaijan and its strategic alliance with Turkey. Dr. Valiyev noted that relations between Russia and Turkey are characterized by both cooperation and competition, as well as the positions of key players in the competition between the Zangazur corridor advanced by Baku and the north-south transit route promoted by Yerevan.
