SCFR Online – Interview: The signing of the Makkah agreement between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey has raised questions about the future of the region’s security structure and the position of these countries in West Asian equations.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The recent report of the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the peacekeeping forces in Cyprus emphasizes lack of common ground between the two sides for peace talks to reach a common solution which has followed concerns among the Cypriot authorities as well as Greek parties.

According to Nicosia, the correct report should ask all parties to adhere to a common solution to the Cyprus issue, which is the formation of a common bi-regional federation and political equality.
