New Eastern Outlook

Alikber Alikberov: "The strategic turn to the East is a wise, correct, deeply thought-out and absolutely objective movement in the right direction" Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies Dr Alikber Alikberov celebrates 60 years! The conversation with Alikber Alikberov, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies, turned out to be incredibly interesting, rich and thorough. We touched on a wide range of topics, talking about current issues and reflecting on eternal ones. Why does today's society need objective knowledge about the East? Why is it said that a good Orientalist, like an old cognac, starts to age af... #HistoricalMemory #History #MiddleEast

Another US failure in the Middle East: the Cairo talks In early April 2024, Cairo hosted another round of ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip. However, observers note a lack of meaningful progress between the parties. The point is that the determined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is unwilling to make concessions on the release of Palestinian hostages before the ceasefire, seeing such a scenario as a defeat for Tel Aviv at the hands of Hamas. The Palestinians, on the other hand, have a diametrically opposed view. Despite the hopes of the medi... #Arabworld #GazaCity #Geopolitics #IsraelandPalestine #IsraelandtheUSA #MiddleEast #Militaryconflict #PalestinianConflict #USA You

How South Korea celebrated the 105th Anniversary of the March First Independence Movement One year ago, after ROK President Yoon Suk-yeol radically changed his focus and outlined a policy shift embracing Japanese partnership during a speech commemorating the 104th anniversary of the March First Independence Movement against Japanese colonial rule, this author began waiting to see how this important anniversary would play out this year. His premonitions did not fail him! The celebration itself went off without incident. As per tradition, the main festive ceremony was held at the Bosingak Pavil... #Internalpolicy #Internationalpolitics #Politics #SouthKorea #YoonSukyeol You can read the full

Recruiting Standards “Down” in Most armies, but “Allegations” of Ukraine using Recruits with “Downs Syndrome” and other Disabilities in a New Low! It should come as no surprise that Ukraine is stooping to use low intelligence troops in its military, and there are even allegations of them using those with DOWNs Syndrome. We also know how the US did the same thing during the Vietnam War—less the DOWNS recruits. As during the unpopular and illegal war in Vietnam, many of the clever ones are escaping the call-up to the military by paying bribes to get out of serving, or simply escaping the country. The new draft mobilization law gives a lot of strange e... #Internalpolicy #Militaryservice #Russ

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited the People's Republic of China: Has he "restored" Angela Merkel's policy? From 15 to 17 April, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz led a delegation of three ministers and business representatives on a working visit to China. Since taking office as head of the German government in December 2021, this is his second visit to the leading power of the Asian continent, where the focus of all global processes is constantly shifting. This is a continuation of the tradition of regular contacts with the Chinese leadership established under his predecessor, Angela Merkel. Incidentally, of all ... #China #Diplomacy #EU #Europe #Internationalpolitics #Politics #PRC You c

Russia: a major player on the world stage I dare to assert here that the Russian Federation is indeed a major player on the world stage. Ignoring it or underestimating it in making decisions concerning the course of the world is a very serious error in geopolitical and geostrategic calculation. That is to say, a dangerous game that only the Western minority is playing to place humanity on the edge of the precipice, thus plunging the people of the world into chaos that is beyond the understanding of Westerners. While the world is now multipolar an... #Internationalpolitics #Multipolarworld #Russia #VladimirPutin You can read the full version on our website:

Three Cheers for Our Red, White, and Blue War Profiteers Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov recently told reporters that "No matter what else occurs regarding Ukraine, United States business and leadership put money in their pockets. While TASS news agency is not considered prime news for Westerners, it should be. It turns out the American leadership and militarists have no qualms about admitting the profitability of war in Ukraine." Let’s run with a quote from Mr. Peskov via TASS: "In any case, whatever the modality of providing this aid, de facto it is abou... #Economics #Geopolitics #Internationalpolitics #Ukraine #USA You can read the full version on our website:

Turkey and the "3+3" Format Prospects Turkey demonstrating an active foreign policy aimed at raising its status from a regional state to a major power and leader of the Turkic world. Its diplomacy synthesizes several complementary doctrines: "neo-Ottomanism," "neopanturanism," "Turkish Eurasianism," and "Turkish axis." Ankara realizes that NATO membership guarantees its strategic safety against external threats from key anti-Western countries. At the same time, the Turkish political elite realizes that the West is particularly reluctant to s... #ArmeniaandAzerbaijan #Erdogan #Europe #Geopolitics #Internationalpolitics #Iran #NATO #NewWorldOrder #Politics #Russia #Turkey You can read the fu

US isolationist policy at the UN International outrage continues to grow after the United States unilaterally blocked a widely supported UN Security Council resolution that would have admitted the state of Palestine as a full member of the United Nations. The US was the only country to veto the resolution, while even its staunch allies Britain and Switzerland abstained and 12 of the 15 Security Council members voted in favour. Condemnation of the U.S. at the UN Security Council This duplicitous and unprincipled policy by the Biden admi... #GazaCity #Geopolitics #Internationalpolitics #IsraelandPalestine #IsraelandtheUSA #UnitedNations #UNSC #USA You can read the full version on our website

Can Biden reset US ties with Turkey? US President Joe Biden is all set to host Turkey’s Erdoğan in the White House on the 9th of May. This visit is being seen by many as Biden’s attempt to woo an estranged NATO ally at a time when a) the US “war effort” against Russia in Ukraine has persistently failed to achieve desired results, i.e., a military defeat of Russia, and when Turkey is one leading country in the Middle East that has, unlike its counterparts in the Gulf, taken a consistently anti-Israel and pro-Palestine position.
