Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit to Azerbaijan has been widely criticized in Turkey.

Turkish opposition media and social media outlets condemn Erdogan's aforesaid trip, calling it a "begging visit" to Azerbaijan.

They note that Erdogan has not adhered to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, calling the visit to Azerbaijan a diplomatic humiliation.

Special attention is paid to the fact that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev had demonstratively turned down Erdogan's personal invitation, whereas Erdogan is trying to reconcile with Aliyev at all costs, even sacrificing his political teammates. For example, he fired his advisor.
