New publication!

My new article, “No Compromise with the ‘Great Satan’? Anti-Westernism and the Ontological Limits of Reconciliation in U.S.–Iran Relations,” has just been published.

I argue that anti-Westernism has become a constitutive element of the Islamic Republic’s regime identity—raising the domestic and institutional costs of diplomatic compromise.

The article uses ontological security theory to explain why reconciliation can remain fragile even when material incentives for cooperation exist.

Importantly, I do not argue that Iran alone caused the conflict or that the 2026 Iran War was inevitable. Rather, I examine how regime identity, mutual security concerns and contingent strategic choices interacted to narrow diplomatic options.

Nitel araştırmalarda “kaç görüşme yeterli?” sorusunun cevabı son yıllarda çok tartışılır oldu ve farklı çalışmalar var. Bu 👇🏼çalışma ideal “sihirli sayı” yok diyor ve incelediği 562 çalışmaya göre örneklem kararlarımızı açıklamada 3 adım öneriyor: 1. Açma 2. Odaklanma 3. Kapama++

How about no? Stop having a fish memory and remember lives that Azerbaijani soldiers sacrifices in order to get their land back? How about not letting history to repeat itself, have some backbone and understand that this can only boost economy of Armenia?

EU President Ursula von der Leyen:
“Opening Armenia’s borders with Türkiye and Azerbaijan will significantly boost links between Europe and Central Asia.”

This is a picture of Turkish Cypriot Neslihan Oluşum. She is mourning after a racist EOAKA organization murdered her husband, and little Kubilay tries to console his mother. British photographer Don McCullin took this picture in 1964.

Eskiden siyaseti bırakıp üniversiteye dönsen ülkeye daha fazla faydası olursun diye düşünüyordum. Bunu tavsiyelerini okuyunca dönersen lütfen uluslararası ilişkiler değil edebiyat fakültesinde bilim kurgu roman yazma teknikleri dersine gir. Türkiye ne şansız bir ülke ki bu zat yıllarca dış işleri bakanlığı ve başbakanlık yaptı. @zaferpartisi

@mustfsnmz One of the most important democratic rights is freedom of speech of masses. You are an anti-democratic CHP partisan elitist hypocrite. You serve people not people serve to you, you seem to forget.

Bir de bu mantalite çıktı. 20 yıldır 7/24 iktidar eleştiren insanlar çıkıyor ve CHP'nin liderini değiştirmek isteyen, KK'yi eleştiren insanlara ayar veriyor. Madem CHP'ye herhangi bir eleştiri yapmak için üyesi olmak şart, bundan sonra AKP üyesi olmayanlar hükumeti eleştiremez!?

10) Hesap vermeye hazır, en layık lider ve kadroyla secime girmeyi başaracaksınız. Yapmazsanız "Ekmek icin Ekmeleddin", "adam kazandı Muharrem" ve "kaybederek kazanan KK" ile daha çok yenilgi yaşarsınız. Bunların hangisini aday yaparken sizin fikrinizi aldılar?

No one in Turkish politics or government ever actually resigns (unless there's a sex tape)

[Ali Gül @avaligul]

Bu gerçekten hayret verici. 1 ay önce TRT önüne gidip TRT'yi "Siz devletin kanalısınız, niye taraflı davranıp bizi ekrana çıkartmıyorsunuz" diyen adam, bir ay sonra artık Cumhur İttifakı'nı desteklediği için TRT yayınına çıkıyor. Hiç utanmadan, hiç yüzü kızarmadan bir insanın bunu yapabilmesi, gerçekten hayret verici.

Lol, whoever started this discussion must acknowledge how ridiculous it is.

Azerbaijan meddling in Turkish elections with Aliyev asking Oğan to support Erdoğan wasn't in my 2023 expectations list. Turkey is our puppet now 😎
