As we celebrate the seventh anniversary of the Eurasian World Journal, we are grateful for the continued interest and support from our readers. 

In our fourteenth issue, published last April, we sought to portray our restless world with a sense of optimism, hoping for peace and stability in 2024. Unfortunately, our hopes have not materialized. The violence of the Ukraine-Russia war persists, and the conflict stemming from Hamas’ attack continues unabated. 

Both of these wars are deeply relevant to the Eurasian landscape that our journal focuses on. This and Türkiye’s central place in this geography brings us both concern and unease. It is highly disturbing to witness the indifference of international community and institutions towards these ongoing wars. 

We present our fifteenth issue against a backdrop that offers little encouragement for the future. Yet, we still cling to the hope for peace and extend our warmest regards to our readers.
