The European Crisis: Origin and Future

The release of the 2025 U.S. National Security Strategy has brought into focus a fundamental tension that has been simmering since before President Donald Trump took office: the understanding between the United States and Europe that the geopolitical system that emerged from World War II was to be permanent. The...

The Dynasty That Changed the World

Today we will address a key period in modern history, leading up to 1913, the year in which two very important events occurred that still profoundly affect our lives. We will continue to observe how the history of world domination continues. Let’s remember that the fourth part ended with the...

Return to Europe, Return from Europe

Thus, the “universal” precedes Europe, but it is Europe that redirects the “universal” toward itself. In this sense, the “universal” and Europe belong to the same horizon. Europe itself has no origin either. To invoke Heidegger’s language once more: Europe is like the “abyss” (Abgrund)—something that cannot be explained, defined,...

An Interview with Ben Hania, Director of “The Voice of India”, on Cinema.

Hania uses the actual recordings of Rajab’s agonizing phone calls in “The Voice of Hind Rajab,” a piercing drama set within the PRCS offices in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

The Final Bargain in Syria: A Strong Message Delivered from Qasyun

Türkiye’s visit to Damascus took place precisely at this critical juncture. Ankara did not merely offer diplomatic recommendations to the parties; it also reminded them of the reality on the ground.

New Power Balance and Intensifying Regional Competition in Yemen

Therefore, the current picture does not suggest any imminent declaration of southern independence. The STC has no international recognition, and its ability to manage the region in a sustainable economic manner is quite limited. However, in the long term, the possibility of Yemen being permanently divided into two—or even three—political...

Türkiye’s New Security Architecture: Continuity, Fragility, and Transformation

Thus, rethinking should not—and does not—mean abandoning security. On the contrary, it reflects an approach that aims to make security more predictable, clearly defined, and accountable. The tension between continuity and rethinking should not be seen as weakening the architecture, but rather as an opportunity to make it more resilient...

The Search for Stability in Gaza

This would further erode the United Nations’ already diminishing influence in the Middle East and could lead to a shift in the institutional centre of the principle of multilateralism in the region. Therefore, Türkiye’s inclusion in the ISF should be seen not merely as an operational preference, but as a...
