Just in: @Pres_Artsakh has confirmed that Turkish F-16s have been used in the attacks on Artsakh.
This is direct involvement that makes Turkey an ACTIVE BELLIGERENT in the war, and is likely a violation of the terms of agreement that US had set on the sale of the F-16s.

Azerbaijan doesn't have F-16s of its own and Turkey isn't allowed to sub-lease them either, which rules out the possibility of the jets being used by the Azeri air force.
Unless the Turkish Parliament declares a state of war within the next 48 hrs, this is a potential war crime.

I've said this before, I'll say it again:
Turkey's hyper jingoist foreign policy is the perfect case study of everything NOT to do as a regional power that seeks to carve out spheres of influence.

From Syria to Greece, from Libya to Armenia, the Turks have spread themselves rather thin (what grand strategy geeks like me like to call "overextension"), and none of their gambles have paid off so far.
