29.09.2015 A EURASIAN SOLUTION FOR EUROPE’S CRISES
Sergei Karaganov
More than 18 months after former President Viktor Yanukovych was driven from power (and into exile), the crisis in Ukraine is at a stalemate. Crimea has been reabsorbed by Russia (in what many consider an annexation); much of eastern Ukraine is held by pro-Russia rebels; and relations between the West and Russia are more tense than at any time since the early days of the Cold War.
28.09.2015 THE LOGIC AND RISKS BEHIND RUSSIA'S STATELET SPONSORSHIP
Mother Russia can be quite generous when it comes to her collection of statelets. In the early 1990s, when a broken Russia had no choice but to suck in her borders, a severely distracted Kremlin still found the time and money to promote and sponsor the fledgling breakaway territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in Georgia and Transdniestria in Moldova.
24.09.2015 THE CSTO ARRIVES IN IRAQ AND SYRIA
by Thierry Meyssan
The intervention of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organisation) against terrorism in Iraq and Syria may be the beginning of a world order based on the cooperation and defence of civilian populations, or, on the contrary, a period of East-West confrontation in which the West openly supports terrorism.
22.09.2015 THE GROWTH OF EXTREMISM AND THE FACTOR OF “INTELLECTUAL PARITY”
Gagik Harutyunyan
The global security today depends to a large extent on the developments in Middle East in the context of the Islamic State’s (IS) actions. However, the IS is just the tip of the iceberg; the Middle Eastern processes are closely related to what happens in Central and Southeast Asia and continental “yellow, hot Africa.” In addition, escalation due to actions of extremist groups occurs not only in these regions. In terms of a number of indicators the same logic applies to the events in Ukraine.

04.09.2015 THE INTERVIEW: HENRY KISSINGER
The National Interest’s editor, Jacob Heilbrunn, spoke with Henry Kissinger in early July in New York.
Jacob Heilbrunn: Why is realism today an embattled approach to foreign affairs, or perhaps not as significant as it was when you had figures such as Hans Morgenthau, George F.Kennan, Dean Acheson, then yourself in the 1970s—what has changed?

01.09.2015 AN INSANE AMBITION WHICH IS TURNING INTO A CIVIL WAR
Clinton, Juppé, Erdoğan, Daesh and the PKK
by Thierry Meyssan
The resumption of the repression of Kurds in Turkey is nothing more than a consequence of the impossible task of implementing the Juppé-Wright plan of 2011. While it was easy to deploy Daesh in the Syrian desert and the provinces of Niniveh and d’al-Anbar (Iraq), which are mostly Sunnite, it proved to be impossible to take control of the Kurdish populations of Syria. In order to realise his dream of a Kurdistan outside of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has no other choice but civil war.
31.08.2015 THE GROWTH OF EXTREMISM AND THE FACTOR OF “INTELLECTUAL PARITY”
A Paper by Gagik Harutyunyan, Executive Director, Noravank Scientific Educational Foundation, submitted for the Rhodes Forum Scientific Marathon - 2015
The global security today depends to a large extent on the developments in Middle East in the context of the Islamic State’s (IS) actions. However, the IS is just the tip of the iceberg; the Middle Eastern processes are closely related to what happens in Central and Southeast Asia and continental “yellow, hot Africa.”
31.08.2015 TURKEY IN DANGER
by Thierry Meyssan
While the Western Press salutes the authorisation given by Turkey to the United States, allowing the US to use its military bases in order to fight Daesh, Thierry Meyssan looks at the nation’s internal tensions. In his view, maintaining Mr. Erdoğan in power, as well as the lack of a new majority during the next general elections, will rapidly lead to civil war.
30.07.2015 CRISES AND DISCORD UNDERMINING EUROPEAN PROJECT
by Nat Parry
The near collapse of the Greek economy and the harsh austerity package forced on Athens by the European Union has led to increasing commentary in recent weeks on what the developments might mean for the “European project” – the one-time seemingly inevitable drive on the European continent for an “ever closer union” based on principles of economic, social and territorial cohesion and solidarity among EU member states.
21.07.2015 VÁCLAV KLAUS: I THINK THAT MANY PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY IN EUROPE STILL LIVE IN A NIRVANA OF SELF-SATISFACTION

06.07.2015 IRAN: AN ATTEMPT TO BYPASS THE SANCTIONS
Sergey Sargsyan
In negotiations around Iran’s nuclear program that last over 10 years now, even preliminary concluded agreements made it possible to somewhat ease the sanctions against the country imposed by the USA, EU and UN.
