US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in his speech to Congress on May 20, noted the possibility of a coup in Syria. He did not give specifics on who could undermine the government led by Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa. However, he listed two main threats facing Damascus.

This spring, US President Donald Trump launched a large-scale military operation in the Red Sea, promising to deter the Houthis and ensure freedom of navigation. The campaign, which cost more than $ 1 billion and involved aircraft carrier strike groups, B-2 bombers and advanced missiles, was supposed to destroy the Houthis' military capabilities. However, just two months after the operation began, on May 6, Trump unexpectedly announced a ceasefire with the Houthis. The agreement bypassed Israel and ultimately ended the US-Yemen conflict.

Peace talks hosted by Turkey on May 15 to end the Russia-Ukraine war have captured the attention of the international community. However, neither Russian President Vladimir Putin nor US President Donald Trump attended the summit. This situation has cast a shadow over hopes in this regard. This important summit, which was planned to be held with the participation of Turkey and the US, has turned into a delegation-level meeting without the participation of leaders. So why were these talks held without leaders, and what does Putin's decision not to come to Turkey mean?

Today's world is not divided between blocs, alliances, ideologies or poles. That is, today the ranks are not as sharp as during the Cold War. For example, Vietnam is cooperating with the United States in the military against China, but on the side of Russia on the issue of Ukraine. Turkey, in addition to supporting Kiev in the Ukrainian war, is also mediating between Ukraine and Russia, and this, like the "grain deal", can play an active role in uniting the two countries through agreements that are important for the whole world. From an article published in "Al Jazeera" by Ramazan Bursa, an expert on Iranian issues, researcher and journalist.

Ukraine and Russia are meeting in Turkey for peace talks. This time, US President Donald Trump has said he may fly in to join the talks. The last time the two countries met in Turkey was three years ago, but the sides failed to reach a compromise.

Anyone familiar with George Orwell’s 1984 is familiar with the fragmented world it depicts. In this world, major economies operate as separate, fortress-like islands, united into three geopolitical superpowers: Oceania, Eurasia, and East Asia. These structures engage in constant conflict and negotiation, not to achieve decisive victories, but to strengthen internal control, to spend excess funds and resources, and to maintain scarcity. This situation is reminiscent of Charles Tilly’s theory of “persistent inequality,” in which strong hierarchies are maintained through exploitation and restriction. Today’s global order, with its ongoing trade wars and economic reshuffles, seems to be heading towards a similar scenario.

Cisse was not just killed, he was targeted in a holy place. After cleaning the mosque for Friday prayers, surveillance cameras show him teaching another man how to pray. As Cisse bowed his head, the other man, pretending to be praying, pulled out a knife and stabbed him 57 times, shouting Islamophobic slurs.

India has a larger army and more military equipment than Pakistan. But does this mean that the Indian army is stronger? How do the armies of these two countries compare in terms of military power?

Every year, Moscow's Red Square becomes the stage for one of Russia's most celebrated traditions, Victory Day, which celebrates the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. But as tanks roll down the cobblestone streets and military bands play beneath the Kremlin walls, it's safe to say that the event is taking on more geopolitical significance than historical memory. Amid ongoing conflicts and shifting alliances, the presence of Central Asian leaders at this year's event reflects the region's fragile relationship with the Russian Federation. But the question is: Will Vladimir Putin find enough reason to celebrate beneath the pomp and show?

In recent years, the number of Uzbek women working abroad for a living has been increasing. In particular, in 2024, Uzbek women sent a total of 3 billion US dollars home. Uzbek women earn these funds mainly by cleaning houses, caring for children or the elderly, washing dishes, and cleaning. The contribution of migrant women to the economy of their countries is more than the amount of money Uzbekistan earns by exporting textile products to 65 countries.
