Tragger is an information-sharing initiative incorporating a multidimensional approach to the reporting and analysis of events, movements, trends, etc. within one, or among any, of the following countries: Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan, Greece, and/or Germany. Thus, the acronym ‘Tragger,’ pronounced like the German word ‘träger’ – ‘carrier,’ indicates that the intention of this initiative is to be a carrier of those happenings involving these countries that are worthy of note. The German word can also mean ‘bearer’; therefore, the acronym wields a double-edged sword of responsibility: 1) to carry only news-worthy information in order not to waste the reader’s time; and 2) to bear sole responsibility for any subsequent analysis, in order not to lead the reader astray. The material will be drawn from publicly available sources to include, but not limited to, news reports, websites, and various social media fora.
