Azerbaijan turns capital into influence across Turkic states

Azerbaijan turns capital into influence across Turkic states

The transformation of Azerbaijan’s economic identity from a traditional energy exporter to a dynamic regional investor is no longer a theoretical ambition; it is a visible reality unfolding across the Turkic world. At the heart of this shift is a strategic "West-to-East" capital flow, where Baku is increasingly positioning itself as a financial and industrial anchor for its ethnic and linguistic kin. This deepening footprint is most evident in Uzbekistan, a nation of thirty-five million people that has become the primary theater for Azerbaijan’s new era of economic diplomacy.
