Game changers year 2024: From Turkish elections to global power plays

When selecting the person and event of the year for 2024 in both domestic and foreign policy, establishing the criteria is the challenging part – everything else falls into place naturally.

“Hun be xer Hatîn”: How three words signal Türkiye’s Kurdish policy shift

The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and Kurdish-issue focused DEM Party continue to confound their adversaries – and I mean this in a positive sense. Kurdish affairs have entered a new phase, particularly following the regime change in Syria. The most recent example of this shift was witnessed in the Turkish Parliament on December 17. DEM

Even Tehran has understood that Damascus is collapsing, but Ankara cannot grasp it – this includes the government, opposition, and intellectuals alike.
