CFR IS RUSSIA RUNNING OUT OF ENERGY? Next year Russia assumes control of the Group of Eight. The world’s second-largest exporter of oil has posted 7 percent growth over the past seven years, but investors are unsure of whether Russia’s energy markets—outlined in a U.S. Department of Energy brief—can keep up this pace (BusinessWeek). Many suspect Russia’s success is due to high oil prices rather than sound macroeconomic policy, and high inflation rates (Kommersant) are dissuading foreign investors. Despite a recent U.S. tour by Russian business leaders to shore up confidence (UPI), our CFR Background brief looks at questions about Russia’s oil market that may justify investors’ concerns. Despite these worries, Russia still matters, writes Council President Richard Haass in JoongAng Daily; vast oil reserves combined with new pipelines (Economist) could make the nation an even bigger player in the global oil market; and Carnegie’s Dmitri Trenin lauds Russia’s burgeoning middle class in this policy brief.

The official EU - the EU of commission press statements and council communiqués and the real EU, passing laws to do with circuses and eels. This cannot go on for much longer.

What they have said about Foreign Press Review
"FPR'ın iki "kötü" özelliği var: 1. Alışkanlık yaratıyor, onsuz yapamaz hale geliyorsunuz; 2. Değeri alındığı değil, arada bir de olsa, alınamadığı vakit anlaşılıyor. Bir de sürekli bir kaygıya yol açıyor; 'Ya bir gün kesilir ve onu hiç alamazsam' duygusuyla sürekli yaşamak kolay değil."

Cengiz Çandar

"... fantastic .... an outstanding and unique service, not just for those who follow Turkey closely, but those who follow international trends and ideas. ... selection of material is some of the best anywhere ... coverage of the Turkish press and Turkish issues is truly unsurpassed .... outstanding and intelligent service"
