"I believe in Islam. I am a Muslim and there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim, there is nothing wrong with Islam. It teaches us to believe in God alone. Some of you who are Christians believe in the same God that I believe in, the creator of the universe and the heavens. We all believe in this One who created existence. The only difference between us is that you call Him God, and we call Him Allah."

Turkey has decided to join South Africa's lawsuit accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice. "We are faced with a choice. Either we will protect the law and humanity, or we will all pay the price of Israeli tyranny," Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said.

February 3 is the birthday of Uzbek "stepfather" Muhammad Shaibanikhan. Although there is a direct connection with the name of Uzbeks, the personality of Muhammad Shaibanikhan, his life and political and social activities are not sufficiently studied and properly assessed.

Azon Global studied the identity of Muhammad Shaibani Khan, one of the great children of Uzbek.

Floods occur every year in different parts of the world. We are used to taking messages on this topic for granted, we don't even pay attention. We believe that most floods have nothing to do with us because they happen in remote parts of the world. But it's time to put our heads down and think about it seriously, and prepare for the potential disasters that await us. Because we are all in the same boat - the floods that happened in UAE, Oman, Tanzania or China are also knocking on our door. We felt the impact of the recent floods in Russia and Kazakhstan.

It is not right to blame the disaster we are witnessing in Palestine on one wretched leader! The Prime Minister of Israel is not the only one to blame for these calamities that befell my people. I would not blame him alone for the fact that Israeli bombs are destroying every corner of Gaza today, and children are dying under the rubble. Even in 2013, when I heard on the news that my people were being massacred in Gaza, I did not blame him alone.

As Azerbaijan liberated the lands it had occupied for years, the status quo in the South Caucasus also changed. The consequences of war and defeat continue to affect Armenia's domestic and foreign policy.

Democracy in Arab countries has not yet borne its positive fruit, on the contrary, disagreements are observed in this region. As a reason for this, some researchers give the opinion that: "Democracy does not suit the Arabs, because democracy is characteristic of the western environment in which it arose, and the Arabs need a just dictator." How good do you think this is?

What is solidarity? What is the level of unity in today's Uzbek people? Isn't it bad that the nation is divided into groups, factions, "cults" and currents? What is required for the nation to achieve the unity it wants? Get answers to these questions in the article of Azon Global analyst Mohammad Dawood Asadullah.

The ability of Egyptians to criticize colonialism, oppression and exploitation was greater and stronger before independence. After the colonialists were replaced by the national power, the scope of opportunities, rights and actions of the citizens was greatly reduced. The gap between the constitutions inspired by the spirit of freedoms, rights and duties and the existing bitter reality still exists and is widening. The present is worse than the past, and the future is worse than both. Egypt's recent past, independence and beyond - through the eyes of Azon Global.
