Armenia-Turkey talks | A thread
1/8 Talks on establishing relations between Armenia & Turkey started today in Moscow, where special envoys of 2 countries met and held negotiations. Last time AM & TR have launched similar process in 2008-2011 called "Football diplomacy".

Our article on Erdoğan's title "Reis" is finally out.
The title Reis has emerged as a popular nickname for Erdoğan. While majority of studies consider this title merely as a superficial element of the authoritarian rule, we argue that it's a significant political symbol.

Today, 50 years ago Turkey started the occupation of Cyprus.
While still there are some negotiations, Turkey continues to build a full Turkish state there.
In recent years it also developed a new concept along with Azerbaijan: "One nation, three states", which includes Cyprus.
