Cumhurbaşkanı Recep Tayyip Erdoğan geçtiğimiz hafta Asya’da İşbirliği ve Güven Artırıcı Önlemler Konferansı’nın (CICA) 6’ıncı zirvesi dolayısıyla Kazakistan’ın başkenti Astana’ya gitti. Burada Erdoğan’ın Rusya Devlet Başkanı Vladimir Putin ile yaptığı bir buçuk saatlik görüşme ve Putin’den gelen açıklamalar hem ulusal hem de uluslararası medyada üst sırada yer aldı. Putin, yaptığı açıklamada Türkiye’ye uluslararası bir gaz dağıtım merkezinin kurulabileceğini söyledi. Türkiye’de heyecanla karşılanan bu haberin ardından gelen açıklamalar soru işaretlerine neden oluyor. Türkiye bir enerji merkezi, enerji hub’ı olabilir mi? Analizde buna yanıt arayacağız.

The country’s political class now stands at a crossroads: Will it seek to heal the country’s deep divides or go back to business as usual?
Iraq hit two anniversaries this month. Three years ago in October, Iraqis rose up to protest the failure of the Iraqi government and political class in delivering basic services, providing jobs, fighting corruption and more. One of the outcomes of those protests was early elections, which were held on October 10, 2021, but have yet to yield a government. The last year witnessed crippling political gridlock, as the winner of the 2021 national parliamentary elections, Moqtada al-Sadr, eventually withdrew from the political process after failing to form a government.
In Ankara’s Sincan district, a 24-year-old enslaved Yazidi woman was rescued after her relatives in Australia (who themselves are asylum-seekers) purchased her freedom on the dark web.

When the US-supported Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) recovered the last pocket of territory from under the control of the Islamic State in March 2019, the problem of how to deal with the foreign fighters who had joined IS but were now seeking to return to their countries of origin (or might do so the near future) became increasingly pressing.
