When Kurds don’t need independent Kurdistan Recently, especially after Turkey’s downing of the Russian warplane, mostly the Russian press and analytical cycles were quite actively discussing the possibility of establishment of Independent Kurdistan.
Why “ISIS” is invincible The kickoff of the Russian operation against the Islamic State in Syria triggered turbulent criticism and approval by both Russian and international communities.
The other side of Iran agreement The agreement signed between Iran and the group of six world powers on July 14 cannot be underestimated. It is the first serious step that can lead to a regulation in the relations of Iran and the key international players and most importantly, rule out or at least put off the military confrontation between Iran and the U.S. in the mid-term.

In which state the Azerbaijani regions especially those adjacent to Nagorno Karabakh and Republic of Armenia are ? What is the social-economic situation in Nakhijevan, for instance?
