This is my first thread so be gentile.

I want to now how the republic of Turkey can annex azerbeijan before the soviets get there hands on it. I only except complete annexation answers.

I wanted this because azerbaijan is a small turkic state (pretty much culturaly the same with turkey) that didnt have the power to defend it self and didnt have alot of options either. Other reasons are i dont want that armenian genocidal compaign that happend in the 90's to happen and ofcourse for the oil. I also think it will be a great spring board for relations with other turkic states in central asia. After the soviets collapse the city of baku and the ports in azerbaijan can be used to bring the oil and natural gass of central asia to the western world(coult it turn turkey into a energy corridor). Could it speed the formations and effectivness of the turkish union which normaly today only acts in name and has no power whats so ever or effect on the world stage.

Also i would like to know how this will effect turkey during this time and in the future such as after the soviets fall. Also how will it effect the soviets in world war 2(lose of the oil fields). Will there be any effects felts on the soviets in general and Turkey in general.

Detailed asnwers will be much appreciated
