AXIS INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS (AIA)
AIA is an information agency that unites professionals having years of experience in collecting and analyzing information about Asia and Eastern Europe. AIA's main attention is focused upon those states that constitute a threat to regional and international security, as well as upon areas of ethnic and religious conflict. At the same time, AIA follows the events in those countries that are going through political and socio-economic cataclysms.
Specific features of the information
The Worldwide Web is full of current information on Asia and Eastern Europe. Most of it is rather fragmentary and shallow. That is why it is rather difficult to understand the processes taking place in this region. Moreover, the systematization and processing of the separate items demands an enormous amount of time.
AIA`s goal is to perform a complex analysis of information on the current issues of this region. That is the reason why our website contains such a considerable amount of reference material.
Axisglobe.com website
Website of the agency exists since May, 2005. All articles are published in English, part of them being translated into Russian and Turkish. Since February, 2006, we also have a Russian version of our website www.axisglobe-ru.com.
News
AIA website has a news service that functions all week long. The news are divided into two categories:
Exclusive news items that we receive from our own sources, who take part in certain events;
007 news items about the secret services, as well as their former and present employees.
Sources of information
AIA uses materials from electronic and printed mass media; books, specialized periodicals, academic editions, officially published governmental documents, and public archives from different countries. AIA collects information in the framework of various political, academic, and commercial events (press-conferences, symposia, seminars, exhibitions, fairs). Furthermore, AIAs highly professional staff uses its personal sources in governmental bodies, and in commercial and academic circles of the countries in the specified region.
AIA staff
AIA unites journalists, ex-diplomats, and former officers of the special services of a number of Asian and East European countries. Some of our authors still work in the framework of civil service. Those, as well as some other AIA authors, use pen names for reasons of personal security.
