Biden caught cheating once again...

Haz 28 2022, Salı

When Joe Biden was once again caught with his cheatsheet, we were reminded that something isn’t quite right with the U.S. president.They wrote down instructions and handed the sheet to him.Every move is written step by step. It was hard to believe if we didn't see it with our very own eyes.“YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants”What kind of instruction is this?Let's start with the first line and explain all of them one by one.No one else will enter, you will. Do not go to an

Why is the world acting like Turkey converted the Eiffel Tower into a minaret?

Haz 02 2021, Çarşamba

In one country’s city. In one of that city’s squares... a place of worship was constructed.The project was designed, its foundations were laid and walls started to go up.It was meticulously completed.The day then comes for it to open its doors. What business is it of yours?*Whether it’s a church or a synagogue?A mosque or a Buddhist temple.Or something else entirely.Whatever that country requires.It’s of no one’s concern. Absolutely no one’s.*Yet that’s not how things are.When that country in qu

How will Turkey interfere in France’s upcoming elections?

Mar 30 2021, Salı

French President Emmanuel Macron came to power in May 2017.After a five-year term, presidential elections are set to be held again next year.It seems like election fever has already begun.Mr. Macron is already thinking, “What if I don’t get reelected?”It’s a legitimate concern.Every elected official goes through that.*However, he feels it more acutely.Despite being called Em“manuel,” his animosity towards Islam is set on “automatic.”Macron is said to have some serious concerns about the 2022 ele

Will we not hold those who defend terrorists accountable for their actions?

Şub 16 2021, Salı

We have buried our martyrs. Our sorrow is great… The tears we shed for the thirteen people who were kidnapped and martyred by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorist organization have mixed into the soil.When those terrorists realized that they could not be saved, they executed those civilians.Now take a good look at those who claim otherwise.Their statements are solid evidence to help you understand who they really are and what they truly defend.*Whoever attempts to make light of the crime

Iran has started to show its true colors

Ara 15 2020, Salı

It seems that because we share a border that stretches 560 kilometers, we can only agree on the fact that we are neighbors, and nothing more.It seems that the friendly and brotherly Iran turned out to not be so “friendly and brotherly” at all.*They were hiding their true colors up until today.It seems Iran’s mask has finally fallen.*It seems that in reality, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif was far from being a pleasant personality.*Let us recall the issue of the nuclear conundrum...It seems

Russian spies parading around as journalists in Turkey

Ara 08 2020, Salı

Two Russians were captured skulking in Istanbul around a facility manufacturing unmanned drones and of course armed combat vehicles.It’s still a mystery whether they were singing “Awara hu, awara hu,” meaning “I am a loafer,” like in the Raj Kapoor movie.There hasn’t been any statement regarding this, but one thing is for sure; they were loafing.Alexei Petrushko and cameraman Ivan Malyshkin were arrested while filming near the BAYKAR Defense facilities.*They claimed they are journalists.While ou

What went wrong Pashinyan?

Kas 20 2020, Cuma

There was no way Armenia could succeed against the Azerbaijani army.It doesn’t take much to read the writing on the wall.According to a statement by Chief of Staff Onik Gasparyan, their ammunition was going to run out in a matter of three days.And even if they had ammunition to last them three years, the result would remain the same.Azerbaijan’s superiority does not only stem from its military power.What Armenia has done is above all an occupation that has been accepted by the whole world.Be it

The most idiotic plan of the century

Oca 31 2020, Cuma

It’s supposedly the deal of the century, the peace plan of the century...That’s what he says, the idiot of the century.Is there anyone who’s able to remain calm? I can’t.*The deal should be bilateral, at the very least.Maybe trilateral, maybe pentalateral...The parties should discuss the matters at hand, start negotiations and sign an agreement.Then we can speak of a done deal.*Making a decision by oneself, sharing territory, saying this parcel is yours and this one belongs to me, drawing a new

Armored Unmanned Sea Vehicle on the way

Nis 06 2018, Cuma

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that they will pull out of Syria. As a matter of fact, he said they want to return their troops back home without wasting any time at all.To be honest, it is wrong for them to wait another day. It would have been better if they never went in the first place.That’s what Trump said, but those who are familiar with U.S. habits did not pay any attention to these words. They drew attention to the necessity of waiting for an explanation from military officials.The

Neither Taksim, nor death

May 01 2015, Cuma

Towards the end of the 1950s, there were “Either Taksim, Or Death” rallies being held in Cyprus and Turkey. On one side, the Greeks' Enosis objective, on the other, the “Cyprus is Turkish” slogan. The Greek side wanted the island to be connected to Greece, while the Turks wanted it to be split up. The Taksim mentioned in the slogan was not the Taksim in Istanbul. Years passed, but the Cyprus issue had never been completely resolved. Even the Kofi Annan plan didn't work out. As for the new UN Gen
