Interior view of the Turkish Parliament (TBMM) in Ankara OilPrice.com: Moscow Ascending: How Turkey's New
Axis With Russia Affects US Interests
2010-04-17
...Russia's recent major thrusts - for a variety of historical, economic, and security reasons - have been to dominate the Caucasus and Northern Tier, the Greater Black Sea Basin, and Central Asia. This has been evidenced particularly by Russia's successful initiatives to build strategic relations with Turkey and Iran.
The profound depth of this transformation cannot be under-estimated, and, along with the stability of the European Union itself (which is inextricably bound to Russia for its energy), vitally affects the fate of South-Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean states.

Vlad... A time to Forgive... please... Let the guy out.
YUKOS, once Russia's largest oil producer, was founded by Mikhail Khodorkovsky and declared bankrupt after Russia raised huge back-tax demands that it was unable to settle.
Khodorkovsky is now serving an eight-year prison term in Siberia on charges of tax
evasion.
Russian state-controlled Rosneft became the country's largest oil producer and refiner following a string of state-forced auctions of YUKOS assets.
Former YUKOS owners say its bankruptcy was Kremlin revenge on Khodorkovsky for his political ambitions and criticism of the government.

Luarsab II, King of Eastern Georgia, martyred by Persians in 1622 In 1783, Russia and the eastern Georgian Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti signed the Treaty of Georgievsk, according to which Kartli-Kakheti received protection by Russia. Despite Russia's commitment to defend Georgia,
it rendered no assistance when the Turks and Persians invaded in 1785 and again in 1795
completely devastated Tbilisi and massacred its inhabitants.
This period culminated in the 1801 Russian violation of Treaty of Georgievsk and annexation of entire Georgian lands, followed the deposing of the Bagrationi dynasty and suppression of the Georgian church
