Independent Vladimir Putin: 'Georgia? We couldn't just get a bloody nose'

McClatchy Russian leaders talk big, but army and economy are weak Russia's military is riddled with weakness. Its equipment is outdated. Its technology is decades behind the West. And its capacity for battlefield communications and intelligence gathering is terrible. In short, Russia has a mid- to late-20th century military in a 21st century world

In Wake of Georgian War, Armenia Faces Hobson's Choice By: Gayane Abrahamyan | Eurasianet The Georgia-Russia war has placed Armenia in a bind. Officials in Yerevan are feeling pressure to take sides, either supporting its strategic partner, Russia, or its neighbor, Georgia, through which 70 percent of Armenian exports flow. For now, Yerevan is trying to postpone its decision.

Hard Russia vs. Soft China By: Joseph S. Nye Jr. | The Moscow Times Goals such as the promotion of democracy and human rights, are better achieved by soft power, which can also create an enabling or disabling environment, as the United States discovered in the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq

Asia Times Tehran feels an Arab sting The decision by the United Arab Emirates to open an embassy in Iraq comes in close coordination with other Arab states, aimed at bringing Iraq back into the Arab family and away from Iran. Tehran's role in the region is also increasingly under attack in the Arab media, with the specter of a "nuclear Iran" being raised. Iran in turn is sending mixed signals, including attempts to placate Sunnis in Lebanon. - Sami Moubayed

The next peace and false bells on Iran Voters in the United States presidential elections being urged to vote for the candidate best prepared to handle the "unavoidable war with Iran" can dismiss this as campaign rhetoric. There is nevertheless a renewed intensity in the drumbeats over Tehran's nuclear program, even though the next chapter in US-Iran relations need not be written in blood: the "next peace" is still a possibility. - Kaveh L Afrasiabi

Iran-bashing from al-Qaeda's corner Al-Qaeda's leadership, in a battle to seduce Muslim hearts and minds, says its top strategic enemies are Shi'ites - be they in Tehran or Hezbollah - and not the United States. Winning over Shi'ites will fuel al-Qaeda's objective of a "long war" in which the only winner will be the US military-industrial complex. That's the sorry legacy of 9/11, seven years on. - Pepe Escobar

Effectively, the Black Sea is now a Russo-Turkish playpen. Moscow has also thrown a curve ball by seeking to link Iraq and Iran to this emerging pact. - M K Bhadrakumar

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"
