As a result of the agreement signed in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in 1944, the US dollar became a reserve currency, because, in layperson’s terms, gold was difficult and dangerous to store. Since then, the US dollar has been a standard around the world.

Acceleration is a physical term, the word that translates from Latin roughly as "speeding up". Accelerationism is the idea in political and social theory that capitalism, or some processes associated with it, and technological change should be "accelerated" and drastically intensified to create radical social change.

Ever since Nikol Pashinyan came to power in Yerevan, Moscow officials have had a negative attitude toward Armenians, Grant Mikayelyan says; but now, in the wake of the fighting last year between Armenia and Azerbaijan, fighting in which Baku gained a decisive victory, they view the Armenians as “losers.”

As the sun sets on a Saturday evening in Queens, New York City, a cross-section of the world descends on a small piece of land behind a museum. Families meet up, children play together, and friends relax after a week of hard work.

Each side has blamed the other for provoking these escalations, meaning that the real motives behind this latest round of hostilities were not immediately clear.

As Turkey begins to realize the strategic potential of closer ties with Israel, it could rely on Azerbaijan to help facilitate a rapprochement.

Paradoxically, the Russian attempts to join the Turkic Council or engage other Turkic nations through the CSTO or EEU in order to provide a counterweight to Turkey is frequently interpreted as evidence of a budding Russo-Turkish regional alliance. In this perspective, Turkey and Russia are purportedly the core nations of a union between the Turkic and (Eastern) Slavic civilizations under the Eurasianist idea.

On July 12th 2020, Azerbaijan’s Defence Ministry reported a military incident in the north-west of the country, namely the province of Tovuz, near the border with Armenia.

The end of military operations in Karabakh with the signing of a trilateral statement caused different reactions in Armenia. The awakening of Armenian society, which was deceived by misinformation during the war, with the news of defeat at night, led to chaos. Different political groups taking an opportunity tried to overthrow the current government and seize power.

If you listened to the speeches of the myriad of political forces competing in the just finished Armenian elections, you would be forgiven for thinking Armenia was not defeated by Azerbaijan in last year’s Second Karabakh War. Armenians continue to live in ‘parallel, imagined world’ which is ‘far from reality, a dreamworld.’

As being one of the rarest countries Azerbaijan achieved positive results at the successful implementation of “Millennium Development Goals” of UN under the supremacy of great leader Heydar Aliyev from 2000, and for the contribution to tolerance, multiculturalism, stimulating and assuring gender equality, diminishing poverty in a short term, retaining health of people, raising education standards of population, ameliorating environment, writes Mazahir Afandiyev, member of the Milli Majlis of the Azerbaijan Republic.

Azerbaijan is the most prosperous country and Azerbaijan has been successful in fighting the pandemic and also in avoiding a major economic backlash due to the pandemic. Azerbaijan has suffered the least in this crisis, for which we commend the country and its people, for coming out of the crisis with limited impact.

Also striking is the cynicism of German government officials, who shamelessly told us that they had learned about the problem of fresh water pollution in Karabakh after the protests of the Armenian green activists in Germany.

Many analysts don’t think Turkey’s talk about formation of a Great Turan attracts Azerbaijanis let alone in Central Asians and the Turkic peoples of the Russian Federation, but Kamran Gasanov of Moscow’s Friendship of the Peoples University says, it is just as powerful an idea among Turkic peoples as the Russian World is among Russians.

Rarely has an election in a small post-Soviet country been watched so closely. Armenia held a snap poll on June 20, after months of turbulence following its crushing defeat in an unexpected six-week war with Azerbaijan over the long-disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh late last year.

In September–November 2020, the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, or Azerbaijan’s military operation “Iron Fist”, entered Russian media’s agenda. The aim of this paper is to examine the coverage of this war in the Rossiyskaya Gazeta and Novaya Gazeta newspapers.
