| Yazar: Salih Dogan |
| Afghanistan held a presidential election on August 20th. This was the second "democratic election” for the Afghani people to elect their president since 2001. It was up to the Afghani people whether to elect current President Hamid Karzai for a second term or to make a new beginning with a new president. It was crucially important for Afghanistan to have a free and fair election, which was hoped to lead to stability and security in Afghanistan, and even in Central Asia and the entire region. However, it could not be achieved. |

| Yazar: Arzu Turgut |
| Contrary to expectations, Azerbaijan and Turkey have failed to sign a protocol in order to cancel the visa regime. According to a few sources, this agreement was not signed due to some technical reasons, incomplete procedural issues and bureaucratic problems. However, beyond this unexpected result, the issue is not only about abolishing the visa regime between these countries which have strong cultural, historical and linguistic bonds. |

| You Can’t Say That! |
| Yazar: Nancy Morgan |
| Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been caught in a firestorm that appears likely to undermine his political viability. His sin? He was actually caught telling the truth. Gasp. Harry's problem stems from the fact that certain truths are no longer allowed to be uttered in the public square. As former Harvard president Lawrence Summers found out in 2005 when he dared to point out that men and women had differing proclivities for math and science... |

| Did Obama Succeed in Winning the Hearts of the Turkish People? |

| The New Israel Lobby: A Shifting Balance in Turkey-Israel-US Relations? |
| Yazar: Kaitlin MacKenzie |
| Over the past year, we have witnessed a series of events, from Erdogan’s notorious outburst at Davos to Turkey’s disinvitation of Israel from a NATO air exercise, that have led to claims that Turkish-Israeli relations are declining. Often, this assertion is made in tandem with charges that Turkey is turning its face to the East, away from the West. But, when one considers the state of Turkish-Israeli relations, one undoubtedly will encounter the US, as it considers both countries to be important allies and is home to a large Jewish Diaspora... |
