JTW. A Turkish website containing news in English language mainly on international politics, Turkey, Middle East, Caucasus, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The journal says it receives about 130.000 visits every day[citation needed].

It has News, Comments, Articles, Letters main sections. Updated at least 4 times a day.

Established in 2004. Published by Ankara-based Turkish think tank Institute International Strategic Research Organization (I.S.R.O. - U.S.A.K.).

The journal is criticised for its nationalistic approach, particularly in issues regarding the Armenian Question, which is claimed by Sedat Laçiner (who has a broad mandate over its functions [1]) as a field of expertise. One of its article about the debate on the Armenian genocide concluded by stating: Armenians do not want to discuss 'genocide' allegations...They do not accept any debate about the past...[1]

Apart from its staff's news and comments, the JTW also republishes the articles from BBC, VOA, RFL, IWPR, Jerusalem Post, Mehr News and many other international news sources.
