Strategic Council Online – Note: The Makkah Defense Pact can be seen as a sign of regional countries’ efforts to reduce security dependence on extra-regional powers and redefine the balance in West Asia.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war, by exhausting US military capability on one hand and strengthening European defense capacity on the other, has altered the balance of power in the European continent, cast uncertainty over NATO’s future, and is driving it toward a European NATO.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The dissolution of the SDF, although considered an achievement for Turkey’s security, does not put an end to the challenges arising from the Israeli regime’s aggression and expansionism, refugees, and Syria’s fragility.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Concurrent with the official commencement of the United States’ economic war against our country, focusing on sanctions instruments, isolation, and economic pressure, what has now become increasingly important is the lack of alignment of other major global powers, especially China, with this policy.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The new US sanctions against Iran, despite extensive propaganda, face serious obstacles to success due to the ineffectiveness of sanctions tools and opposition from some of Tehran’s trading partners.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Following military failure, Trump has announced the implementation of sanctions and old economic pressures under the new label of “unprecedented economic operation” against Iran; however, Tehran can neutralize this blockade through four specific strategies.
SCFR Online – Opinion: Two contrasting narratives of Trump’s foreign policy – one “crisis as doctrine” and the other a “coherent doctrine” – present a complex picture of America’s attempt to redefine its role in the international system.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Makkah Pact, signed between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey under the motto “an attack on one is an attack on all,” is viewed by some analysts less as a full-fledged military coalition and more as an attempt to reduce security dependence on an external power and to establish a regional security mechanism.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on international law, stating that with the blocking of the Lachin Corridor nine months ago and the surrender of Karabakh, Moscow’s 2020 agreement has practically collapsed, added: For the first time after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a solid anti-Russian atmosphere has been created in Armenia and the US, while considering the Russians to be the cause of the current situation, is trying to show Russia as passive and useless and pull the rug from that country’s foot in the region and strengthen its presence in Armenia.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The tragic and criminal incident at the embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Tehran, which based on the explicit confession of the assailant, took place with personal motives, ended with the timely intervention of the police force.
Strategic Council Online—Interview: Emphasizing that the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia should respect each other’s territorial integrity and observe international standards, an expert on international issues said that what happened with the blocking of Lachin corridor is against the standards of international law. The Republic of Azerbaijan should be demanded to cancel the restrictions and at the same time clarify the ambiguities of the Moscow Agreement, which was signed with the presence of Russia and between Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan, otherwise there is always the possibility of conflicts and disputes.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A professor at Yerevan State University while emphasizing the necessity of cooperation among Iran, Russia and Armenia to resolve the conflicts in the Karabakh region said: The measures being followed by the Republic of Azerbaijan show that Baku really wants war in the region. Any agreement and negotiation that takes place is quickly violated by Baku, and this violation of commitments is of no importance to them.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Caucasus affairs said: Armenia is angry with Russia over its failure to give a quick and decisive response regarding the lifting of the blockage of the Lachin Corridor, and by not welcoming tripartite negotiations, it intends to show its dissatisfaction, but this action will not help to improve the situation and enables the Republic of Azerbaijan to find the possibility for more movement.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: The head of the Caucasus Studies Foundation, saying that Turkey, the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia are seeking to de-escalate and normalize their relations added: There is the possibility that communication lines will be opened under the control and supervision of Russian forces, and in this regard, Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan should also deviate from their ambitious demands.
Strategic Council Online – opinion: Turkey has conducted two separate military exercises with the Republic of Azerbaijan on the one hand and Pakistan and the Republic of Azerbaijan on the other hand, on limited land and sea scale. The Ankara government pursues specific targets of holding exercises that are geopolitically “purposeful” and “meaningful”, and the recent exercise is one of Turkey’s most important measures since the end of the Second Karabakh War.
