Press Digest

Turkish Aggression
SIASAT ROOZ: Turkey should be condemned and punished for violating Syria’s sovereignty. Many at the UN Security Council are of the opinion that the latest territorial aggression proves beyond any doubt that Turkey has close ties with the terrorist group of ISIL. The training of terrorists in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, and Jordan and sending them to Syria to fight the government is a clear violation of Security Council resolutions and international law. 
 
Yemen Politics
JAVAN: Saudis use money to corrupt regional government officials for political gains. But they have failed to do so in Yemen. That’s why the Yemenis have what it takes to become a successful role model for the rest of the region when it comes to nation building and democracy. Despite Saudi-American pressures the revolutionaries in Yemen are doing a fine job in establishing a new government that is all-inclusive and democratic. They are successful role models when it comes to protecting national interests and preserving progressive independence.
 
Campaign Finance
AFTAB: People should know how candidates secure their election campaign funds. Voters should know how their candidates are able to fund their campaigns. Transparency is key to having a transparent and democratic election where people are able to find answers to basic questions about the role that money plays in elections. They should also find answers to questions they never thought to ask. These should include all money spent by presidential candidates, parliament and city councils, political parties and independent interest groups trying to influence national elections.
 
Wake-Up Call
KHORASAN: The American politicians are finally hearing the wake-up call in their ineffective strategy of war of words against the Islamic Republic. In this day and age, top politicians and senior officials are coming to terms with new realities on the ground that clearly demonstrate the Islamic Republic as a self-sufficient and independent regional power to be reckoned with. Hence in their official and unofficial meetings or press conferences they are reflecting on the need to reverse policy and to renew contact with Tehran.
