After a brief meeting with Aliyev, Putin shook hands with the wife of the President of Azerbaijan, Mehriban Aliyeva, but the atmosphere remained tense.

Just a few minutes earlier, Aliyev warmly embraced other world leaders, but with Putin, it was different.

The situation between Moscow and Baku has complicated since the incident when a Russian air defense system hit an Azerbaijan Airlines plane, resulting in 38 deaths.

“We know what happened—and we can prove it,” emphasized Aliyev.

President Aliyev, highlighting the seriousness of the circumstances, remarked: “We do not want war... but we must be ready for it at any moment.”

The conflict between the two countries continues to escalate, and the arrests of citizens on both sides only increase tensions.

Channels supporting Putin are already discussing the possibility of conflict, claiming that “conflict with Baku... is inevitable.”

The Western world is also watching events closely, as Putin discussed possible scenarios for new military actions with world leaders.

The Beijing parade also showcased the latest military technology, while leaders discussed advancements in medicine and longevity.

“With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted, and people can live younger,” noted Putin.
