By whom? Do present the rebuttal.

The statements of the Israeli Foreign Minister are absolutely fictional and have nothing to do with reality. We stand behind the decision we have taken as a government regarding trade with Israel. This decision remains valid. Our decision to stop trade with Israel is in effect until our conditions for stopping Israel's attacks on Gaza, ensuring a permanent ceasefire and uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid to our Palestinian brothers in Gaza are met.

Globes is not linked to a Turkish journalist and I have been reading it for years.

I got confused from the reply you attached and thought it was you that attached the Haskoloğlu's tweet, not @Saithan. Still a solid advice to follow though. Sorry for any confusion.

@Heartbang what do you consider reliable journalism then ? You can’t just toss a he’s a clown in there and expect people to follow your advice. Perhaps you’re into selective journalism ?

Not İbrahim Haskoloğlu. That's for sure.

There are people in this nation that, under the guise of "journalism", try to implant ideas to our people's minds that are harmful to our very existence. And they manage to get handsomely rewarded by various foreign intelligence agencies for their behavior.
Fonşin Fongü is one of them, and so is İbrahim.

Our mainstream media is long gone, I won't dispute that. But be careful who you pick to get the news in the social media. You might be avoiding the doodoo, only to step on a landmine.

I don’t think this is a rebuttal to Globes’ claim of a “temporary approval” and afaik was not what Israeli FM claimed. Anyhow, gov channels have time and time again showed that they will outright lie re trade with Israel, which is fine, it’s internal politics.

This is a perfect foray into geopolitics, where we do also need to add in the needs and interests of Turkish companies (and other respective ones) when talking about geopolitics. If a temporary waiver does exist, it was created with pressure from the businesses. “Turkish businesses” doesn’t always have to follow gov’s own internal interests.

Of course, it was a rebuttal to the Israeli FM, which was the source of confusion in the first place.

Political scammers from the American so-called “Lemkin Institute for the Prevention of Genocide” condemned the statement of the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan about the “genocide” of the Armenians in 1915 and accused him of denying this “crime”. The institute stated: “Although we, as a rule, do not interfere in the internal affairs of states, but...”

This is a case where scammers want to appear to be more devout Christians than the Pope.

Why don’t these American political swindlers turn their attention to another region, where literally in these hours, when these swindlers are composing a statement about controversial historical events, with the help of the United States, real hell is going on on earth!
“Although we do not interfere in the internal affairs of states...”
Wonderful!
Fraudsters! Take action in the Gaza Strip! There is simply no state there!
Or are you not interested?!

It is said that Greece will have 12.8B EUR in total for new equipment purchases (in addition to what’s already been contracted) from 2024 to 2035. They want to divide it roughly equally between the three forces. It seems with the globally rising weapon prices the arms race they wanted to start is taking a toll on their stagnant economy.

If only we did anything to sabotage their revenue streams...

NEW: Japan's Embassy in Ankara has posted this message on its website saying:
- the PKK has been recognised as a terrorist group since 2002
- but it's now been added to Japan's Public Security Intelligence Agency's (PSIA) list of terrorist groups

Furthermore, Mitsotakis will visit Erdogan today.

Greece's PM Mitsotakis due to meet Turkiye's President Erdoğan today in Ankara.

Will be the 1st time we can see how Declaration of Friendship, signed in December, is working

Pledges of:
- joint action plan
- reduce military tension
- no public criticism of each other

How the issue of the Kariye Mosque becoming a mosque again (previously a church, mosque and museum) is dealt with, will give us an idea

Greek PM says he will raise it with Turkish President, but unclear if he will raise it during press conference.

But both leaders trying to build positive agenda, make deals where they can agree

Issues involving buildings of Greek heritage in Turkiye + Ottoman heritage in Greece have been present for years

Here easy agreement can't be reached - so it may be approached more diplomatically

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1789924472947986437

From the outside, looks like they are trying to freeze conflicts but also not undertaking any real steps towards reconciliation on them, while trying to score smaller wins outside of geopolitics. Germans forcing both to lower tensions for the time being looks to be working.

On May 18, the Ottoman Mehter March will be held in New York.
The Turkish parade has been held since 1981 as a protest against the killing of Turkish diplomats by the Armenian terrorist group ASALA.

The way we trying to deal with this treachery pisses me off immensely.

Instead of publicly bickering about " daddy Iran-desu not cooperating UwU" how about you shove a Mk84 to wherever that Mesopotamian donkey took refuge in Iran?

Persians don't get words, you communicate with them by beating them up.

I think once Turkiye has the Air Defence problem completely solved and has this stuff in big numbers. Then we should get a lot more aggressive towards them.

We will never have a “complete” umbrella against Iranian ABM and drone threat. And this “lowkey” approach to Iran is not just related to IRGC standoff capabilities. Iran can be a pain in the butt for us without ever firing a shot over the border or on our bases in Iraq. Like that one time few months ago when they hijacked a ship carrying gas for Botaş.

It goes both ways. We are able to play that game that way too.

What's your solution then? Crying and letting them do whatever they want or what!?

A lot of the weapons for Taliban would do the wonders and why not those Wahabites in Beouchistan?

A Turkish official who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity later said that what Erdogan meant by "Hamas members" was Palestinians in Gaza in general.

"President Erdogan misspoke, he meant that 1,000 Gazans were under treatment, not Hamas members," the official said

Greece's Prime Minister thanks Erdoğan for not allowing refugees to enter Greece.

Meanwhile Iran transports Afghans to the Turkish border.
