A breakthrough opportunity for global health
18 May 2012/ 12:36/ JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ, TODAY'S ZAMAN
NEW YORK – Every year, millions of people die from preventable and treatable diseases, especially in poor countries. In many cases, lifesaving medicines can be cheaply mass-produced, but are sold at prices that block access to those who need them. And many die simply because there are no cures or vaccines, because so little of the world's valuable research talent and limited resources is devoted to addressing the diseases of the poor.
Russia stays home
18 May 2012/ 15:11/ JAVIER SOLANA, TODAY'S ZAMAN
MADRID -- Just three days before his return to the Kremlin as Russia's president, Vladimir Putin met behind closed doors at his residence in Novo-Ogaryovo, outside Moscow with US National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, who was there to transmit US President Barack Obama's renewed determination to strengthen cooperation with Russia. But Donilon returned home empty-handed: Putin will attend neither the G-8 summit on May 18-19 at Camp David, nor the NATO summit in Chicago on May 20-21, despite Obama's effort to accommodate Russia by moving the G-8 summit from Chicago.

Turkey-Israel relations in the shadow of the Arab Spring: The need for a new paradigm
30 April 2012 / 11:02/ EMRAH USTA*,
Unemployment, corruption, political degeneration, freedom of speech and appalling living conditions has led to a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests occurring in the Arab world, particularly North Africa and the Middle East. Commencing with a Tunasian street vendor, Mohammed Bouzazi, setting himself on fire and causing a domino effect in the Arab Spring, preparing the ground for the destruction of the old order of the Camp David. The Arab Spring, which has contributed the countries to review their security and democratic paradigms, gives the oppurtunity to be included in the inward intervention with the power of the social media network against the dictators, while increasing the solidarity and self-confidence between the people. The Davos Summit, and the positively changing image of Turkey in the Arab world after the attack on the Mavi Marmara makes it indispensable for a new paradigm in Turkish – Israeli relations.
