Ilham Aliyev, “naughty son” of the “national leader”?

Heydar Aliyev would never tolerate such unbridled anti-Armenian sentiment which is now spread in Azerbaijan.

May 16, 2012

The 18 years of fragile ceasefire at the contact line between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan never yielded the expected results: violations of the ceasefire continue, Azerbaijan refuses to call off its snipers and keeps on subversive activities. In addition, it keeps dubbing as “provocation” everything happening in Stepanakert, from military parade to elections.

Ankara ceases to be mediator in Middle East

Turkey, finding itself in the Sunni alliance can only be satisfied with the role of a leader of one of the Muslim sects.

May 10, 2012

Statements of official Ankara more and more remind of a mutter resulting from inadequate perception of its own place in the Middle East and in the world. Becoming at one time a NATO member “thanks to” the confrontation USSR-USA, current Turkish leadership has decided that it can dictate terms to the Alliance. So it was at the time of appointment of current Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, so it is today.

Islam threatens Russia with loss of identity

We have to admit that in 50 years Russia will truly be a Muslim country, as claimed by U.S. experts still at Soviet times.

May 14, 2012

The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), according to Russian media publications, is rapidly losing its place in society, making way for Islam. Of course, there may be an element of exaggeration and distortion in press reports, but it’s an obvious fact that at a time when Europe is hastily trying to distance itself from multiculturalism, the latter is actively penetrating into the social environment in Russia.

Iran vs. six world powers: in anticipation of next round of negotiations

The ultimate goal is not a war as they think in Israel, but deterrence of Iran’s nuclear program because Western powers prove incapable of terminating it.

April 27, 2012

The meeting of six world powers with Iran over Iran’s nuclear program in Istanbul was a kind of cold shower for Israel. Jerusalem apparently expected Iran to frustrate the negotiations like a year ago, so that she would have a great opportunity to start a war. But everything turned out the other way round.

Islam – new phobia of the West

The Cold War ended and “Russians” came to be replaced by a new enemy - Islamic radicalism and fundamentalism - and it was very serious.

April 16, 2012

The West, i.e. Europe and the U.S. are afraid of Islam. This fear is, in every possible way, being pushed inwards, but after September 11, 2001, it took quite hypertrophied forms. It should be noted that generally Western countries, especially the United States, are a prisoner of various kinds of phobias, and instead of looking into the origins of fear they create an enemy image for themselves.

Bashar al-Assad still beats Turkey and Gulf states

The most interesting thing in Annan’s plan is that it does not call for Bashar al-Assad to leave power.

March 30, 2012

Syria has agreed to the plan of peaceful settlement of the situation suggested by UN special envoy to Syria Kofi Annan and supported by the UN Security Council. The peace plan developed with the participation of Russia and the League of Arab States (LAS), suggests an end to violence on both sides, non-interference in the affairs of Syria from outside, access by humanitarian organizations into the country and establishment of a monitoring mechanism.

Azerbaijan between Iran, Turkey and U.S.

If Azerbaijan does not cancel the visa regime with Iran, but does it with Turkey only, she will lose Nakhichevan, a ground connection with which goes through Iran.

March 16, 2012

No sooner had the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated that an attack on Iran is not yet in sight and official Washington still prefers the diplomatic path with Iran and insists on it, than Baku immediately responded by sending its Defense Minister Safar Abiyev to establish good relations between Baku and Tehran.

Egemen Bagis views Sarkozy and Merkel as opponents of Turkey's EU bid

Turkey fails to understand that if times have changed, there has changed the country too, longing to become a regional leader. But it is in this position that the EU does not want to see Turkey.

March 13, 2012

Turkish Minister for EU affairs, head of the Turkish delegation Egemen Bagis has recently intensified his “attacks” on the EU, wittingly or unwittingly pushing to the distant future the issue of his country’s joining the Union. In the statements of Bagis one can easily trace neo-Ottoman rhetoric. It was such statements that were “in vogue” at the time of the Ottoman Empire, from which so unwisely and violently dissociates itself modern Turkey, when it comes to history.

Collapse of Libya begins from struggle for oil regions

Colonel Gaddafi kept a firm hand on all the tribes, which are about 130 in number, and it was thanks to him that Libya endured to this day as a comprehensive whole.

March 9, 2012

There happened in Libya what was inevitable: the tribes began to divide the country into rich and poor. The example of oil monarchies of the Gulf is infectious; their flourishing arouses envy and resentment. Along with this there comes the idea “we want that too”. The desire to live well is, of course, appreciated. However, it’s one thing to desire, and another – to have a chance. Nevertheless, desire always prevails over chance, so the tribal leaders and militia commanders declared the oil-rich eastern part of Libya, namely Cyrenaica, a semi-autonomous state.

Election campaign in the U.S.; Iran won’t get nuclear weapon

The main thing for Obama now is to win the votes of American Jews and, most importantly, increase the pre-election fund.

March 6, 2012

Trump card of the U.S. presidential election campaign is, of course, Iran, or rather its nuclear issue. The candidates almost compete in who can intimidate Tehran more, the latter still maintaining Olympian calm. At a meeting with AIPAC, the largest Jewish organization in the U.S., President Barack Obama declared he would not tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran and would act — with military force, if necessary — to prevent that from happening.
