    Pakistan may not get $2 bn rollover from Saudi Arabia

    The chances of that are low as Pakistan capital+stock market seems to have stabilised last few years (at around 50billion market cap) rather than (use external funds + bonds) to support the earlier peak (90 billion market cap under Nawaz Sharif admin)....i.e currency devaluation was done...

Armenia is quite poor country in the region....highly dependent on its diaspora...and also the crucial time in USSR breakup to make its moves it did then (again with lot of Russian and diaspora assistance). The terrain of...

    TR Cultural Tengrism and Ancient Turkic mythology/symbols

    TR Casual Discussion Çay Bahçesi

    Yeah apparently norwegians have it best in understanding everyone else. They can understand both Danes and Swedes fairly well. They also have a language undercurrent thing going with bokmal (very close to your Danish) vs nynorsk. I guess Icelandic is most different given their distance from...

    I have altered the deal....pray I don't alter it any further.... Wonder how much of that we gonna be seeing. I guess the big part to see will be the handover of every other part of occupied AZ (outside of N-K zone) back to AZ this year.

    Got a question for you folks here given Azerbaijan has been in the news a lot lately... How much Azeri (language) can the average Turk understand? How much of AZ population were fluent in Azeri in USSR compared to now? (My Azeri friend knows little, his mother tongue is effectively Russian)...
