It's one of the reasons why the yellow colored areas are defined as Armenian "corridor" in the Madrid Principles which were never implemented by both sides. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madrid_Principles But the road coming from Vardenis has some advantages as well as disadvantages...

It most definetly has a religious angle but it's not a dominant factor. This is true. However, with Turkey and Pakistan - two major Sunni nations with Shia-related religious minorities of significant size - supporting a Shia country like Azerbaycan this conflict turns into another textbook...

Azerbaijan Evangelicals: Conflict with Armenians Is Not a Religious War Young but growing community of former Muslims says Armenian warnings about genocide in Nagorno-Karabakh hurt the spread of the gospel. Jayson Casper|October 21, 2020 06:00 AM...

The important parts are quality and participation. If by chosing well-known brands the quality of the car is ensured in the long-term, this is a wise decision IMO and it shows that this project is not a short-time adventure. People will judge this entire enterprise by the quality of the very...

The tabloid Afrika/Avrupa is the worst. Ofc, we, too, have sh*tty left-wing newspapers in Turkey but this one from Northern Cyprus is particularly disgusting. @topic Bear in mind, that those who voted for Akinci are not necessarily in favour of becoming Southern Cyprus' appendage. Some voters...

You are right. The Turkish government wants to open the border to Armenia as soon as this conflict is over even if the Armenian diaspora continues to malign Turkey internationally. The opening of the border with Iraq and Syria has set a fine example of what trade can do for the enlargement of...

India's transition from Ghandi to Modi, from secularism to a quasi theocracy, from introversion to extraversion is fascinating and depressing at the same time. In many ways, Modi emphasizes religion even more than Erdoğan but he still is the West's little darling who may be a useful tool against...

This is why the Turkish government put an end to the economic activities of the military. The military is NOT a company.

Turkey - again - is a very special and sometimes even confusing case study. It's a well-known fact that the Turkish Military is a bastion of Kemalists. This hasn't changed a bit in almost two decades of AKP winning one election after another. The bond between Kemalism on the one hand and...

There's no universal approach to minorities. It really depends on facts like ethnicity, religion, culture, history, language, population seize etc. Having said that, I'm well-known for having a strong opinion on Muslim minorities within Muslim-majority societies. Usually, I'm prefering them to...

I refused to work for a branch of the German national intelligence service.

It's because Aliyev is an Azeri version of Saddam Hussain who hopefully will encounter a similar ending. His incompetency, idiotic policies, corruption and looting is out of this world even for Middle Eastern standards. His entire Karabağ policy is a complete and utter disaster. He himself is...

I haven't read it yet, unfortunately. But I'm familiar with his thoughts and his changing opinion on Atatürk's reforms. I wish more people would be aware of his reappraisal and what he later said about Turkey's secular constitution after the fall of the caliphate.

@Nein2.0 Futurism is an Italian movement, an expression of love for everything that is modern, fast, technologically advanced, new, evolved, high tech etc. Traditional Islamists on the other hand say that Islam itself is "modern, fast and pro-technology". The term "Futurism" is non-existing...

No, he's a Pakistani from America, born and raised in the US and very well-read in Turkish history, though, our conclusions from the past are differing categorically.

Futurism does not exist in Islam, an Islamist would say. ;)

This company is owned by the UAE, right?

From a scientific point of view, I don’t agree with you. The societal phenomenon we describe as “state” is by far not a Western invention. There are many documented state-like organisations throughout the human history. Some are much older than any Western nation. What you describe as the...

There's Asia, there's Europe and then there are Turkey and Pakistan. To small to be a universe on its own like the US or China but to big, to strange, to well-/unknown to be just a star in the US and Chinese cosmos. We're more like a deserted meteorite wandering through the respective universe...
