    Talking Syria... Just Talking?

    • September 09, 2013

    Delivering arms to the conflicting sides, carrying out a unilateral, irresponsible strike, or blocking the work of the UNSC can only multiply the violence in Syria.

    End of Great Powers in Syria

    • August 26, 2013
    • Syria Deeply

    The Unfinished 1991

    • August 23, 2013

    The Soviet Union’s collapse and disintegration did not come all at once. It was a long process, which is still unfinished. Instability, unpredictability, and insecurity of the 1990s became a good launching pad for the current leadership of Russia.

    North Korea: The Nukes Are Not Omnipotent

    • July 26, 2013

    Unexpected Consequences

    • July 18, 2013

    People’s Democracy

    • July 12, 2013

    • July 05, 2013

    No doubt, the history of Turkey knows many exclusionist approaches (the case of the Kurdish movement is an evident example). Such approaches were on the table in the case of the Taksim movement. Yet finally Ankara has chosen inclusive response to the Taksim challenge. The cancelation of the Artillery Barracks project which had trigged the unrest is a symbol of this response.
