Summary/Abstract

In spite of the favorable climate created with the launch of the Alevi Initiative, which aimed at the settlement of the grievances held by the Alevi community, the Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP) government's over-cautious approach not to offend the Sunni-Hanefi segments of the electorate has cost them the trust of the Alevi community. Besides, the weak EU political conditionality and the embedded nature of the Sunni-Hanefi interpretation of Islam in both the state and society, not to mention in the legislation, have deterred the AKP government from achieving a fully fledged settlement to the Alevi issue.

Summary/Abstract

The current situation in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war is particularly grave as Russia continues to threaten the western powers to exercise its nuclear option if they continue providing support to Kyiv. And that makes India’s position very problematic as to how to respond to seek cessation of hostilities between the two belligerents and at the same time continue balancing its equally meaningful good relations with Russia, on the one hand and the US, on the other as both the erstwhile super powers have now become the prominent bete-noires or big opponents in the Moscow-Kyiv continuing war. Thus in the ever degenerating grim scenario where no end to the continuing war looks in sight, the world today stands on a nuclear volcano which may blast any day with the slightest spark set on fire by any nuclear power.
