From Karabakh to Antalya: How Azerbaijan and Türkiye turn political unity into regional influence

Last week, Azerbaijan attracted considerable attention with two major events: Victory Day and, on this symbolic occasion, the arrival of Türkiye's President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in Karabakh at the invitation of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

The global climate agenda is entering a new and increasingly challenging phase. While governments continue to announce ambitious emissions reduction targets and renewable energy commitments, the gap between political declarations and their practical implementation remains one of the biggest obstacles to international climate cooperation.

Armenian lobby’s old playbook meets new geopolitical reality

Ideology gives people belonging and binds them to a cause. But conviction is not proof of good faith or a guarantee of constructive ends.
