Lebanon: Last stop on a jihad highway The turmoil of post-Syrian Lebanon has been exploited by al-Qaeda forces - mostly Yemeni, Saudi and Jordanian mujahideen who left Iraq to avoid the United States' "surge" and its surrogate Sunni fighters.

The 'other Iraq' forges ahead The semi-autonomous Kurdish Regional Government in northern Iraq encourages tourists with imagery of breathtaking scenery and promises of relative calm. More important in terms of politics, it is looking to exploit the most valuable asset in its possession, oil. It is on this point the region's stability hinges - disagreements with Baghdad over oil ownership could be far more divisive than the Sunni-Shi'ite conflict that spawned the 2005-2007 sectarian war. - Stephen Starr

All roads lead out of Afghanistan
The focus on the fate of al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan disguises the full range of the bitterly fought geopolitical struggle in the region. The maneuverings over Afghan supply routes mask a crucial bid by the United States to expand its influence into the Russian, Chinese and Iranian backyards in Central Asia.

Russia may even find itself looking at the George W Bush years with nostalgia. After all, he diverted Islam's attention from Russia and made oil expensive. Obama's "perestroika" might have the opposite effect. - Dmitry Shlapentokh

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"

Graham Fuller


"... extremely useful"
