At that time, Turkey was unable to pursue a fully independent foreign policy. However, Erdoğan decided to break this pattern from the very beginning. The Justice and Development Party (AKP) fully supported him. Not a single party member opposed him. And since the party held a majority in the...

Under US pressure, the Grand National Assembly held several votes. And the result was always the same: rejection. Let me remind you that at that point, Erdoğan's party had a two-thirds majority (quorum) in the Grand National Assembly.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service At the recent summit of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Doha, Qatar, Egypt's proposed plan to form a regional defense force modeled on NATO, dubbed an "Arab NATO," to counter external threats, particularly Israel...

Since Türkiye is somewhat wary of the American military base in Incirlik, I wonder if Ankara is considering stationing a corresponding contingent of a Muslim country with nuclear weapons there?:unsure:

If you're referring to the state of fundamental and applied science in Azerbaijan, I don't think there's anything particularly encouraging about it. Some embassies are selecting particularly talented young people here and issuing them green cards. Some, wanting to pursue scientific careers...

Yes, the US presence in the Zangezur Gap is limited in time. The US has leased a narrow strip of land along the Araks River, 40 kilometers long (width unknown), for 99 years. Thirty-five years ago, a railway from mainland Azerbaijan to Nakhchivan ran through this area. Armenians dismantled the...

By the time Anadolu's construction began, the Harriers were already long outdated. I followed the entire process from the very beginning. I believe Ankara only became interested in the Harriers after the US refused to supply the F-35b, citing the Russian S-400s. Although, perhaps I've missed...

It would be great to have 16 F-35B fighters in Anadolu. After all, it was originally designed specifically for these fighters. But given the soured Turkish-American relations, I'm skeptical of any proposals Trump makes. Interstate relations aren't the same as the relationship between Erdogan and...

Armenians call Turks Tajiks? Strange! If your friend is Armenian, know that Armenians are good at making things up :) They're masters at spinning tall tales, like the one about Karabakh being ancient Armenian territory. It's no wonder the most famous science fiction writer is the American...

MHP leader Bahçeli is back in the spotlight. He suggested exploring the possibility of an alliance between Turkey, Russia, and China! Something like this was to be expected. Other proposals are likely also being considered (Pakistan, Egypt, Iran?). Erdoğan is planning a trip to New York. A...

Trump likely studied our ancient history in preparation for his meeting with his new friend, Aliyev. We're not offended by Trump—after all, Azerbaijan was called Albania in ancient times :) Considering the Armenians' strange habit of reminding every random passerby of Armenia's antiquity at...

In this regard, it's impossible to compare Turkey and Russia. In Russia, it's impossible to imagine Yakuts or Tatars going out to the main square and demanding anything from Moscow. In December 1986, the Kazakhs tried to do the same in Alma-Ata. The Russians shot the entire crowd. In...

Pakistan is a huge country; it could even rival mighty India. I know little about it. They say corruption is rampant there. Well, yes, the social situation there seems incredibly dire. Too bad. But their army is a formidable force. Especially with nuclear weapons.

❗ Saudi Arabia and Pakistan sign mutual defense pact as Gulf Arab states grow wary of US security guarantees Dubai/IslamabadReuters — Saudi Arabia and nuclear-armed Pakistan signed a formal mutual defense pact on Wednesday, in a move that significantly strengthens a decades-long security...

The Hürjet doesn't interfere with the development of a fully-fledged fighter. Produce it and sell it. Very few countries in the world produce combat aircraft, and even fewer produce trainers. The Hürjet was developed as a trainer. And the fact that it can perform other functions is a plus. Just...

Trump spoke of his "eternal friendship" with Aliyev and Pashinyan. US President Donald Trump wrote on the social media platform TruthSocial that he was proud to have mediated the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. "It is a great honor for me to help resolve the war between Azerbaijan and...

The TB2 was originally developed for operations against armed groups without air defense. Given the gradual phaseout of the A10 and Su-25 attack aircraft, fragile the TB2 is even less suited for this role. (In Ukraine, the TB2 no longer flies at the front or in operational depth, but only...

The Azerbaijani national football team defeated the Portuguese club Benefico with a score of 3:2. Well done, guys! Karabakh is Azerbaijan!
