Strategic Council Online – Interview: “Any miscalculated move could lead to escalating tensions and uncontrollable crises, but Beijing’s prudence and precise strategies have so far prevented the Taiwan issue from escalating into a crisis similar to that of Ukraine,” said an East Asia analyst.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A geostrategic affairs analyst said: The emerging Eurasian order is not merely an economic plan, but an effort to redefine the global order based on independence, multilateralism, and regional convergence.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An Iraqi affairs analyst stated: Selecting Iraq’s future prime minister, determining foreign policy, and managing the new Baghdad government’s relations with regional countries and the world require internal political consensus following the recent parliamentary elections.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A technology sector expert stated: In the era of cyber wars and artificial intelligence, independence in the digital domain has become a critical issue; countries that achieve technological self-sufficiency sooner will shape their future security.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs analyst stated that NATO’s recent nuclear deterrence-centered exercise is not a sign of stability, but rather indicates the world’s return to the tense arms race between East and West.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A Caucasus issues analyst stated that increased cooperation between the Republic of Azerbaijan and NATO, along with Western support for Baku, signifies the formation of a new front of geopolitical competition between NATO and Russia in the South Caucasus.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A West Asia affairs analyst stated: The presence of Turkish forces in over 60 military positions in northern Iraq and repeated attacks on mountainous areas indicate Ankara’s long-term plan to expand its geopolitical influence in West Asia.
Strategic Council Online: Dr. Seyed Kamal Kharrazi emphasized that any negotiation with the United States must be based on equal footing and mutual respect, and its agenda must be agreed upon in advance.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior Eurasian affairs analyst stated that the trilateral agreement between Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the United States on August 8, 2025, known as the “Trump Route,” is a turning point in the geopolitical equations of the South Caucasus. This agreement, ostensibly signed for peace and the establishment of a transit corridor between Baku and Nakhchivan, carries serious concerns. From the perspective of analysts, this plan is not merely an economic project but part of the U.S. strategy to enhance its influence in the region and contain regional powers such as Iran and Russia.
Strategic Council Online – Analysis: On the verge of finalizing the Baku-Yerevan peace agreement, the recent remarks by Mnatsakan Safaryan, Armenia’s Deputy Foreign Minister, regarding the potential handover of the “logistical management” of the Zangezur route to a foreign company have pushed the status of this 32-kilometer strip into a critical phase. The discussion of a foreign operator’s involvement coincides with the meeting between Nikol Pashinyan and Ilham Aliyev in Abu Dhabi—a meeting that, according to regional media, primarily focused on this blocked route.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: According to what the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia authorities officially announce these days, the two South Caucasus countries are taking the last steps to reach a peace treaty.
Strategic Council Online: The former Iranian ambassador to Armenia said Armenia’s strategic closeness to Europe and America is not far from expected because Pashinyan’s government is worried that if another attack occurs on its borders, it will not be able to maintain its position and defend its country. Therefore, he is trying to arrange for allies in the West.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Last week, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced in a statement in the parliament his country’s intention to withdraw from the collective security pact consisting of several former Soviet states led by Russia. However, the exact time of this action has not yet been determined.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An expert on Caucasus affairs said: Following news reports that the Kremlin has implicitly confirmed that Russian peacekeepers are withdrawing from the Nagorno-Karabakh region and taking their weapons and equipment with them, this question is seriously raised: Does Russia want to hand over the South Caucasus region to the West?
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A Caucasus affairs expert said: “If the trend of divergence among regional countries, especially Armenia and Azerbaijan, from Russia accelerates, Russians may show a more serious reaction and even prevent the traditional regional order change using force.”
Strategic Council Online—Opinion: In recent months, we have seen Armenia and Azerbaijan strengthen new military-security arrangements. The two countries are developing military and security relations and exchanges with European and extra-regional countries within an “escalating process.” Strengthening the weapons arsenals, reviewing membership in some military pacts, and increasing military purchases are among these measures.
