Some things that were not done in the last 20 years will be made... someday in the bright future.

Why are our borders left open? Where are our troops? The Turkish military well and truly has its hands tied. Instruct TSK to do something and it will do it. Right now we are just letting our troops get hit in Syria with basically no retaliation, meanwhile we are completely leaving our border with Iran exposed. The Turkish military needs to be taken out of this governments control, if you think otherwise then you have your head buried in the sand.

On this occasion, the two ministers will conduct a comprehensive review of the state of bilateral relations, which has been characterized by a positive dynamic, under the leadership of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which resulted in a high-level political dialogue and significant progress in economic cooperation between the two countries. The two parties will also discuss major regional and international issues of common interest, with the aim of enhancing consultation and coordination.

Israeli Ministry of Defense (IDF): I reached out to the Turkish Defense Attaché and the Turkish Ministry of Defense with an offer to send an Internal Front Command delegation to Turkey. The mission will provide search and rescue assistance in light of the catastrophic floods that have already claimed dozens of lives.

Hm....
Are they trying to force a new deal out of ERDO?
I mean..... he would be an idiot to do so
Turkey gained nothing from the previous EU deal; they didnt even deliver their promise of updating the trade agreements
We need to learn that Europe isnt a true ally during the toughest times
They will always be ready to give priority to themselves and betray the others

Moreover, it seems that the EU is also interested in the airport which might indicate clashes with Turkey in the Future

Erdogan backs peaceful resolution to Ethiopia’s Tigray conflict

Turkish leader also tells Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed that Ankara is willing to mediate in Sudan border dispute.

Details unavailable but usually the first step for exports. Like in Albania or other countries.

My bet is on drones and other advanced technology. The Ethiopian president is in some hot water and I dont think that we've seen the end of the conflict.

Well, Ikhwan isn't dead though. Coups may be good in the short term but they are devastating in the long term. Remember what created Erdo? Turkish coups. Similarly, Sisi won't be in power in Egypt forever give it a decade and Ikhwan will return even more powerful. I don't like Ikhwan ideologically but i will work with anyone who supports Turkish interests even with the Taliban. When Saudi Arabia and UAE cut the funding to Egypt people will revolt in Egypt. UAE did a successful coup in Sudan guess what happened? The same government UAE put to work in Sudan expanded the agreements with Turkiye that are signed by the government before the coup and even signed new deals on top of those. You can get cash from UAE but you can't get expertise in industrialization, education, healthcare, infrastructure, agriculture, defense industry, military training, etc. Turkish investments in Sudan are big and unlike other countries, we are teaching them not only how to fish but also how to set up a fish farm.

Ethiopia's PM praised Atatürk's Turkey. But the part about Atatürk was censored and omitted by the translator, even AA and AKP/RTE related people. Good thing RTE doesn't understand english.

In psychology, this is called an "inferiority complex".

Why Istanbul? Unless AKP and RTE is planning to move the capital back to Istanbul. Considering who we’re talking about that isn’t unrealistic.
