Maneuvering for the good: where will the national government’s logistics ambitions lead?
In May 2023, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov of Turkmenistan has announced the country’s readiness to launch an international transit corridor to Iran, Iraq and Turkey as part of the major East-West international transport corridor (ITC). According to the Turkmen leader, Turkmenistan, with its favorable geographical location, is turning into one of the hubs where regional

meet. The country’s ...
... Peter the Great wanted to send an embassy or expedition to Ethiopia. However, his intention was not destined to be fulfilled.
In 1898, several reasons finally allowed the two powers to formally establish diplomatic relations: after the victory over Turkey in 1878 in the Middle East and Northeast Africa, Russia's influence there grew more and more. Besides, Russia had a forced necessity to resist British influence in Africa.
From the Russian Orthodox Church side, Archimandrite Porfiry Uspensky - ...
... Azerbaijan. Obviously, the only purpose of these attempts is to create inconvenience for Russia, where many still believe that the Transcaucasus has value for it, or are guided by moral considerations. However, even here the influence of regional powers — Turkey and Iran — is comparable to what Western countries are doing. Moreover, neighbouring Georgia, due to internal factors, is showing much less willingness to be drawn into the feuds of the great powers than one might assume based on its previous ...
... structure—if the regions elites decide to create a permanent platform to discuss security and development issues—would help address the convergence of the Arab world (which already has its regional structure, the LAS) on the one hand, and Israel, Iran, and Turkey on the other.
Many researchers have already attributed the current regional changes to the emergence of a “new generation of leaders.” This is due, among other things, to the growing popularity of leadership studies. Renowned Arab leader Mohammed ...

Secondly, all the people who say things like that don’t see where the world is going. New continents, civilizations, and centers are rising. How can China dominate this emerging world if there will be great India, great Russia, great Persia, great Turkey, and strong Arabs next to it? Such a situation is impossible! Maybe some parts of Europe will rally around the United States, but I am sure that in ten years parts of crumbling Europe will also drift towards the East. This can already be seen in ...

In the run-up to the 2023 BRICS summit, 19 countries wanted to join the alliance – 13 countries have submitted a formal application for membership and six an informal application. They include Argentina, Egypt, Algeria, Bahrain, Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates. The alliance is growing – today’s BRICS countries plus the potential members are becoming a veritable power bloc that will “command 50% of world oil production and 40% of world gas production.”[7]

... region will not lead to dramatic consequences; although a member of a military-political bloc hostile to Russia, it acts completely independently in regional affairs. This means that the degree of potential threat from its influence will depend only on Turkey itself, whose domestic political and economic future is not completely certain. The threat from America’s Eastern European allies is not a product of their own capabilities, but of the use of these territories as a base for American policy in ...
... brother, Attorney Robert F. Kennedy, spoke with the Soviet Ambassador in Washington, Anatoly Dobrynin. Agreement was reached that the Soviets would dismantle and remove the missiles in Cuba, in return for the U.S. doing the same with nuclear missiles in Turkey. To help JFK save face, Khrushchev agreed to make no public announcement about the removal of the U.S. missiles.
This quid-pro-quo became the basis for cooperation which could have ended the Cold War. The June 10, 1963 speech by JFK, delivered ...
The veteran leader knows Moscow well, and the Kremlin understands his agenda. But how will it play out this time?
Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s victory in the Turkish presidential election is supposed to mean there will be continuity in Ankara’s foreign policy. However, in this case, it applies not so much to the content as to the approach that will be taken: most probably constant manoeuvring in search of opportunities.
As a result, those preferences can change quite dramatically as circumstances transform...
