Erdoğan inaugurates Turkish Cyprus’ newly expanded airport - Türkiye News
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has inaugurated the new terminal building and runway of Turkish Cyprus' Ercan Airport, dubbed the airport with the largest passenger capacity on the island.
Good news, I hope this extension will work as intended and serve KKTC well. I hope the operational costs won't be too much of a burden.
Ersin Tatar has been throwing money at Pete Sessions and lots of others. Seems Pete finally showed up for a photo.
It doesn't mean anything. They also had Sammy Wilson from the UK which that account tweeted about everywhere, ignoring the fact that Sammy Wilson also advocates for an independent Kurdistan in Turkey.
Just words to get people excited that "the advanced Europeans agree with our fearless leader"

True, but this is also a part of the thing. Some are believers, most aren't. Look how ANCA works with every single people with power in US. This is all soft power. A kind of soft power we can't dream to have. https://anca.org/congress/pete-sessions-594-114/

Russia is feeling increasingly isolated due to sanctions and embargoes.
Hence why they are acting nice to Turkiye as we offered them a lifeline in the global trade.

Turkish Cypriot road construction 'persists despite UN intervention' - Türkiye News
Turkish Cypriot authorities have announced the continuation of road construction plans aimed at linking the ethnically mixed Pyla village in the buffer zone with the mainland, following a recent altercation with United Nations (U.N.) peacekeeping forces in the region.
It's quite interesting if T.C. didn't ensure KKTC had some space enough for a road back then. Perhaps we did, but we allowed it to be used as UN line.
IMO the UN line is fifty-fifty split between KKTC and GC in case UN cease to exist on the island, So building that road is probably a way to ensure UN (christian club) doesn't screw over KKTC.

Seems like TRNC police saved the lives of UN soldiers. TRNC civilians were giving them a good beating 
The UN should thank TRNC.
Note that a UN pig started to hit a civilians who fell after some pushing, before they got they asses whopped.

I think there was some BD peacekeepers in Cyprus for a period of times.
Bangladeshi peacekeepers are mostly deployed in active conflcit zones.
The thing is (of course, nobody officially wants to admits)
Western countries mostly prefer to deploy their troops at high command and administrative roles in headquarters or where is no active conflict Going on. (Like cyprus)
On the other hand, they sends third world or Asian countries soldiers in the conflict zones.
But, then again, most third world countries troops are not well trained or disciplined. That's where Bangaldehs army's reputation comes in. Given their long standing track record of better discipline and professionalism, they have high demand in conflict zones.
(So much so that recently Gambia directly made a deal with BD to co-deploy troops in their country https://defencehub.live/threads/bangladesh-agrees-to-co-deploy-troops-with-gambia.16620/)
But I think, UN could redeploy BD peacekeepers in Cyprus if they think it would serve their interest better. (In various missions, Bangaldesh also enjoy some advantages like not having a Colonial past or geopolitical ambitions. And being muslim make us less threatening and a lesser subject of suspicion for the locals compared to Western troops. Like British soldiers here in Cyprus.)

We should never have let Cyprus join the EU
The bloc should have put accession on ice and made it clear to both sides that only a united island would be allowed to join.
