"Membership in the BRICS does not promise serious dividends to the Azerbaijani people"

Currently, the prevailing trends in the Azerbaijani economy—such as declining foreign currency revenues, increasing imports, underutilization of non-oil export potential, sharp loss of the manat's purchasing power, appreciation of the real effective exchange rate, and rising levels of dollarization of deposits[1]—provide severe grounds for abandoning a fixed exchange rate regime.

The content of the response from Syrian dictator Assad to the Turkish president's proposal to meet and normalize relations was predictable: completely withdraw from our lands and end support for jihadist organizations.

Former Minister of Health, ethnic Azerbaijani Masoud Pezeshkian won the presidential election in Iran, gaining 53.7% of the vote. He is called a reformist, far from corruption and a supporter of normalization of relations with the West.

I must admit it was unexpected that the normalization of relations with Syria would be directly announced by President Erdoğan and that this would be expressed with the words "honorable Assad." First and foremost, because since March 2011, I have closely followed these processes and have written more articles than I can remember.
