http://mindofmenyhert.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 25, 2015. Enter the Ottomans: Turkey joins the fight against ISIS. After much complaining and squabbling, Turkey has decided to join in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. The Turkish Grand National Assembly voted its consent back in October, but only now have airstrikes come from Turkish F-16s. Ankara claims this is the start of a broader strategy rather than a one-time maneuver. As it turns out, ISIS is not the only organization being targeted by the Turkish Armed Forc...

http://mindofmenyhert.blogspot.com/2015/08/moldova-squinting-towards-europe-and.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. Moldova: Squinting towards Europe and Romania. The Republic of Moldova, a small Romanian-speaking country to the southwest of Ukraine, formed a coalition government recently consisting of three different pro-European Union parties. If Transnistria was recaptured by Moldovan troops there is a possibility that the region would be able to tip the election to the pro-Russian side. While the pro-European parties in Moldova have "won" the most recent election, they still must fight an u...

Mind of Menyhert: April 2015
http://mindofmenyhert.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 24, 2015.

The Ottoman Empire is long gone, but the country that was established not long after in its place, the Republic of Turkey, does not believe the events of 1915 qualify as genocide, a claim that has earned Ankara waves of criticism and blind fury from many Armenians.
