SUCCESSFUL AZERI ELECTIONS
WITH TURKISH HELP
PM Tayyip Erdogan, with his pre-warnings and advice based on Turkish experience, played an active part in helping President Ilham Aliyev in leaving behind the 6 November general elections in Azerbaijan with the least disturbances and criticisms possible, despite the months long campaign prepared and staged by the “Soros-funds-backed” activists of the “Orange Revolutions” of the Caucuses and Eurasia. For the significance of this achievement for Eurasia developments and the world’s energy strategies, please read the article below.

THE EXCITING YEAR FOR
TURKEY - 2006
For three main reasons 2006 is bound to be an exceedingly exciting year for Turkey, if not a year full of upheavals in the country’s public life. Two of these three reasons concern the traditional keen superpower interest, indeed unwelcome interference, in filling two summit positions to be vacated in Turkey during the year or in the first half of 2007 - the President’s and the top commander’s positions. The media’s agitations with the prodding of the Disinformation Mechanism over these two important issues started even before the critical year, 2006, arrived, but luckily, the man in the centre of these agitations, General Hilmi Ozturk, nipped them in the bud with a single short statement issued by the TGS. The third issue, foreign policy developments, mostly concerning the Iraq war’s finalization, is bound to be the most vital question of these upheavals in store for Turkey. Here is a short summary of the three issues in question with an analysis of what to expect for the future.
