TURKISH PEOPLES UNITE
In this new episode, Kote Rijamadze and Georgiy Katcharava discuss the results of the meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping—and the implications these decisions may have for global politics.
Washington and Beijing are once again seeking common ground, but behind the diplomatic language lie strong interests: trade, security, Taiwan, Ukraine, Iran, Russia, and a new balance of power. Could an agreement between the two superpowers reduce the risk of global conflict—or, conversely, mark the beginning of a new division of the world into spheres of influence?
A separate topic in this episode is the unification of the Turkic peoples. Why is this process becoming increasingly visible? What role might Turkey, Azerbaijan, Central Asia, and other Turkic states play in the new geopolitics? And what does this mean for the Caucasus, Russia, Iran, and the entire post-Soviet space? In this episode, we discuss:
— the results of the Trump-Xi meeting
— what awaits Iran, Ukraine, and Taiwan
— why the US and China are forced to negotiate again
— where Washington and Beijing's red lines lie
— what remains for Russia in the new global configuration
— why Turkic peoples are increasingly uniting
— how this could change the balance of power in the Caucasus and Eurasia
