President Aliyev's Surprise Visit to Ankara: A Strategic Discussion

In a recent post, Nilgun Cerrahoglu in Cumhuriyet highlighted President Erdoğan's invitation to the G-7 summit in Italy.

The announcement that on June 12, the Azerbaijani and Iranian armies will simultaneously conduct tactical exercises on the border with Nakhchivan raises many questions.

On June 11, in a move that left the political landscape abuzz, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the formidable leader of the AKP (Justice and Development Party), held a 1.5-hour meeting with Özgür Özel, the chairman of Turkey's main opposition party, the CHP (Republican People's Party).

In the aftermath of the municipal elections on March 31, where Turkey's ruling party suffered a significant defeat for the first time in nearly 22 years, the country's foreign policy activities have markedly declined. This shift comes at a critical juncture, with global dynamics, particularly the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, demanding more nuanced diplomatic engagements.
