| The Impasse in Turkish - Armenian Relations |
| Yazar: Hasan Selim Özertem |
| Turkish foreign policy has been undergoing a process of transformation since the end of the Cold War. However, each transformation period comes with new crises and advantages that should be assessed carefully. Turkey has been trying tackle these challenges by pursuing a proactive foreign policy since the end of 1990s. In this respect, the zero-problem concept, introduced to Turkish foreign policy by Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, has been effective in overcoming certain chronic problems with its neighbors and creating a better environment to stimulate regional partnerships. In the Caucasus, particularly good relations with Azerbaijan beginning in the 1990s have turned into a regional integration process, with Georgias enthusiastic participation in the 2000s... |

| Energy Leaks on Nuclear Power Plant in Sinop (Turkey) by Koreans |
| Yazar: Haluk Direskeneli |
| It is quite difficult to get correct information on energy issues here in our country. Private companies do not wish to release negative information obviously. They wish to advise that they are profitable for their shareholders, environmentally friendly for the general public, prudent in spending, smart in their investment decisions. On the other hand, public enterprises/ public institutions/ the ministry would like to picture the best available environment, tough in regulations, business friendly for the investors... |

| Today, throughout the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan celebrations took place noting the fact that the state obtained its independence from the Soviet Union on this very day in 1991. Under a hot Bishkek sun thousands watched President Otunbaeva lay a wreath under the stone statue commemorating those who died in the April demonstrations that forced then President Bakiev to flee.

| What is the True Purpose of the CSTO Led by Russia? |
| Yazar: Bakyt Beshimov |
| In early August of 2010, CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organisation) held another summit in Armenia. Russia continues to increase tension guided by its questionable policies in the "zone of privileged interests " or another words, in the former post Soviet block with bright examples in Central Asia and Caucasus. Without a clearly defined interests and constructive regional strategy, Russia has returned to Central Asia with ideas of a military bases and hydropower projects sliding relations between Central Asian states downward... |

| Yazar: Zaur Shiriyev |
| The problems of security in the South Caucasus and especially in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are entering new, most pressing and dynamically debate stage later of the Turkish President Gul’s Baku and Russian President Medvedyev’s Yerevan visits. Turkey and Azerbaijan signed a Strategic Partnership and Mutual Assistance deal during President Abdullah Gül's visit to Azerbaijan, on 17 August. This came just days before, agreement on extending Moscow’s lease on 102nd Gyumri military base’s rights by 34 years, during Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Armenia.

| A United Iran Against A Collapsing Israel |
| Yazar: Kourosh Ziabari |
| As the racist regime of Israel moves toward greater international isolation due to its aggressive, belligerent policies, Iran receives wider support from the world's nations for its uncompromising resistance against the bullying superpowers and annulling their mischievous plots. The world is witness to the growth of Iran's popularity while hatred and disgust against Israel builds up progressively. Iran is reaching out to the hearts and souls around the world while Israel ignites denunciation and deprecation in the four corners of the globe. |

| Turkey's Presence and Importance in Afghanistan |
| Yazar: Salih Dogan |
| Turkey and Afghanistan have always enjoyed warm relations due to their strong cultural and historical connections. For instance, immediately after Afghanistan gained its independence on 19 August 1919 under the leadership of Amanullah Khan, it established diplomatic contacts with Turkey -- while Turkeys own Independence War was still ongoing. Afghanistan became the second state after the Soviet Union to recognize the Turkish Republic. As a result, the two countries signed the Turkey-Afghanistan Alliance Agreement on 1 March 1921 in Moscow, the first official agreement between the two states. After seven years, in May 1928, Amanullah Khan visited Turkey on the invitation of Mustafa Kemal Atatrk and at that time a Treaty of Eternal Friendship was signed between Turkey and Afghanistan. Finally, Afghanistan was one of the parties to Saadabad (Nonaggression) Pact that was signed on 8 July 1937. The close relations that both countries created at the time of their establishment have preserved their strength... |

| Will Clusters Replace Countries? |
| Yazar: Sundeep Waslekar |
| At the end of the first decade of the 21st century we define many facets of our life with reference to a concept called country. We measure income, savings rate, investments, lifespan, and mortality rate with regards to the country in which we live. We accumulate arms, wage wars, and negotiate peace between countries. We cheer for our country's team, however bad or good it might be, if it is playing. We may cheer the best team when our own countrys team is out in a football or cricket tournament provided the best team is not from an enemy country. |

| An Israeli Dilemma |
| Yazar: Giulia Torresin |
| As one of the most polarizing issues in international relations today, the Iranian nuclear crisis has inspired tomes of analysis and predictions by scholars from all over the world. One should not be surprised then, if another opinion joins this long list. This time, the analysis comes from Samy Cohen, a research director and professor at the Sciences-Po University in Paris and a foreign and defense policy specialist with a particular focus on Israel. In a recent article, Cohen points out the various options available to the Israeli administration in its efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons... |

| The Nagorno Karabakh Crisis and the (Re-)Emergence of Russian Power in the Southern Caucasus |
| Yazar: Nicola Morfini |
| Last June Armenia started violating the ceasefire established in 1994, causing one of the most hostile and violent offensives since the end of the conflict over Nagorno Karabakh. The ceasefire infringement caused the prompt reaction of the Azeri army that opened fire on the enemy lines in reply to attacks. Since the beginning of the hostilities 5 casualties have been attested: 4 Armenian and 1 Azeri soldiers. Between the 12th and the 17th of July, moreover, the Armenian troops opened fire everyday, 4 or 5 times per day, with an average duration of the gunfire of 20-30 minutes. Since the end of the war, and notwithstanding the persisting occupation of 20% of Azeri territory by the Armenian army, the two countries never seemed closer to the chasm of a new war... |

| Russia, Afghanistan and Starwars: Westward Hu |
| Yazar: Eric Walberg |
| Russia's accommodation of the US and NATO continues apace, with new support of the Afghan war and even missile defence, notes Eric Walberg. The Atlantists are on the ascendant these days in Moscow. Russian President Dmitri Medvedev's hamburger lunch with United States President Barack Obama during his visit to Silicon Valley last month apparently left a pleasant taste in his mouth. Now relations with NATO are on the mend, as Russia plans to send 27 Mi-17 helicopters to Afghanistan, NATO Military Committee Chairman Giampaolo di Paola said after a meeting with Chief of Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Nikolai Makarov last Friday. Rosoboronexport has even offered to throw in the first three helicopters for free... |

| Sarkozy and The Middle East: A Paradoxical Foreign Policy |
| Yazar: Giulia Torresin |
| Paul Sarkozy, Nicolass father, once said to his ambitious son that with his stature and his surname, he had no chances to become the French president. He was manifestly wrong. Despite being of mixed national and ethnic ancestry, Nicolas shows some typically French features: he is not a giant (to use an euphemism), he is a good orator, he speaks with idiosyncratic gestures, and he is overwhelmed by an incessant stream of ambitious ideas. Without any doubt, Nicolas changed the style of French politics... |

| Who's Aiding Judaisation? |
| Yazar: Nicola Nasser |
| Since 1860, when the American Jewish tycoon Judah Touro donated $60,000 -- a fortune for that time -- towards the construction of the first Jewish settlement outside the old walls of Jerusalem, public and private American funds have aided the creation and territorial expansion of Israel. Israel today is the foremost recipient of US aid. According to a USAID green paper, between 1946 and 2008 Israel has received more aid than Russia, India, Egypt and Iraq. In fact, the US has poured more money into Israel than it did into the Marshall Plan for the reconstruction of Europe after World War II. However, a recent New York Times article adds a new dimension to the story... |
