2023-02-02 11:59:29 With the end of the Cold War and the rise of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s Justice and Development Party, Turkey embraced not just a new foreign policy but a new foreign policy orientation. Ankara is no longer interested in maintaining the status quo—it now wants to transform it. Just as Turkey’s status quo orientation led to different policies as circumstances change, Turkey’s new anti-status quo orientation has also led Erdoğan’s government to pursue different strategies. But to make sense of these shifts, and the reaction they have provoked in the region, it is crucial to appreciate that, no less than in the previous century, Turkey’s neighbors have responded in light of their history but also, more importantly, their own orientation toward the regional status quo.

2023-01-25 23:14:53 Dear friends below is my detailed article regarding the #Iran-backed #Husseyniyyun movement in #Azerbaijan. I have highlighted how it was created in #Syria, where many Azerbaijani fighters joined Iranian militias under Qassem Suleimani to fight ISIS, and argued whether the movement has the potential in becoming another #Hezbollah in the #SouthCaucasus.

2023-01-06 20:57:32 Merry Armenian Christmas
Թող մեր Հայրենիքը վերածնուի եւ յայտնուի։

Today, like almost a century ago, #Armenians all over the world, in the Fatherland and the Diaspora celebrate #Christmas in difficult times as more than 100,000 Armenians in the Republic of #Artsakh, #Nagorno_Karabakh are besieged by Azerbaijanis. Today, once again Armenians are being uprooted from their historical homeland and facing a new genocide.
History has shown us that the resilience of our nation and the determination to resist and struggle against injustice will one day bear its fruits. May this year, #Armenia would be reborn from the ashes and emerge united and strong.

2022-12-30 20:20:11 My last article for this year:

"#Azerbaijan and #Turkiye are gunning to establish the “Zangezur corridor,” in direct conflict with #Iran and #Armenia’s interests as it entails the blockade of the Lachin corridor – a lifeline for the ethnic Armenians of #Nagorno_Karabakh."
