It emerged unprepared for its role and uncertain about how to execute it. The exercise of power requires skill and experience, and the United

are at loggerheads because of their fundamentally different positions on Syria. As developments in that country continue to unfold Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his overambitious foreign minister are discovering that Turkey cannot have it every way. Iran's displeasure with Turkey really began when Ankar

Erdogan and Davutoglu still insist these facilities are not against Iran, but this is a claim no one, least of all Tehran, is buying. Matters between the

Last week, while comparing the uprising in Libya against the Moammar Gadhafi regime and the growi

Erdogan explained while Turkey was very much concerned with what's happening in Libya and have been undertaking every possible effort to contribute to a qu

The opening to China is a story Kissinger has told before: how he and Nixon had discerned that country could become a strategic counterweight to the Soviet Union; how he secretly flew to China after feigning illness in Pakistan; how he and Premier Zhou Enlai hammered out the diplomatic basis for EFTA_R1_020

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan last week renewed his criticism of Syria and those countries that stand by as the bloodshed continues. "I am addressing the entire world, and coun

Erdogan suggested that humanitarian corridors be opened immediately to provide assistance to Syrians suffering because of the fighting. Turkey harbors an e
