Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar warned on Friday that “one tiny mistake” could turn Cyprus into “a new Gaza”. Tatar, not recognized as a head of state by the international community, also suggested that Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan may soon recognize the north. Turkey is the only country that recognizes the so-called Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. in an interview with the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph, said, “A mistake or a misunderstanding such as the shooting of a Turkish soldier on the Green Line… would provoke a bomb between the two populations.” “If you shoot one Turkish soldier, you...

Turkish oil terminal halts Russian trade amid tightening of US sanctions

The Dörtyol terminal, based in the province of Hatay, had previously been a relatively slow-paced terminal for business and mostly exported Iraqi crude. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, however, seaborne deliveries of Russian oil to Dörtyol soared as European restrictions came into play and Moscow looked to reroute trade. In 2023, the terminal saw record amounts of Russian crude and refined oil move through Türkiye to Europe in a contravention of EU sanctions. Shipping data shows that Dörtyol – which imports, exports and stores fuel and crude – received a record 11.74 million barrels of Russian crude...

On February 1, 2024, a contentious decision shook the Netherlands to its core: law enforcement officers (Boa’s) in Utrecht were granted permission to wear sharia-compliant headscarves. The motion initiator is Turkish-tied Muslim Mahmut Sungur from the Islamic Denk (or “Think”) party, lauding Utrecht’s “pioneering stance.”This move, endorsed by the left-wing city council and led by a controversial Muslim politician and political party operating on behalf of Turkey, represents a profound victory for Islamic supremacists trying to conquer The Netherlands. It is more than just a nod to religious diversity; it’s a capitulation to the demands of a growing sharia-adherent Muslim...

BBC ^ | 29 December 2023 | Burak Abatay
The Turkish Super Cup final between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce in Saudi Arabia was postponed because of a disagreement between the clubs and the host nation's authorities. The match was scheduled to kick off at 17.45 GMT but, with thousands of fans inside Riyadh's Al-Awwal Stadium, it was called off at 19:00. The Turkish Football Federation and the clubs blamed "problems in organising" the match after authorities refused banners referring to the revered father of modern Turkey Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Galatasaray and Fenerbahce were expected to arrive for the showpiece between Turkey's league champions and cup winners with banners bearing Ataturk's...

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan asked his U.S. counterpart Antony Blinken in a call on Sunday for Washington to use its influence over Israel to halt Israeli attacks on Gaza and the West Bank, a Turkish diplomatic source said. Turkey, which supports a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict, has harshly criticised Israel, calling for a full ceasefire and for Israeli leaders to be tried in international courts for war crimes, and slammed Western support for Israel. Washington, Israel's closest ally, has repeatedly said it supports Israel's right to defend itself after the cross-border rampage by Hamas militants on Oct....

Turkish lawmaker collapsed suddenly in parliament after reportedly having a heart attack following an impassioned rant in which he said Israel would 'suffer the wrath of Allah'. Video showed the moment Hasan Bitmez, 53, fell on the floor after giving a speech in the General Assembly Hall in Ankara - prompting other politicians to run over to his aid. Rounding off a strongly worded speech, Bitmez had concluded, 'We can perhaps hide from our conscience but not from history,' stating that 'Israel will suffer the wrath of Allah', as reported by The Yeshiva World. In that moment, he stumbled and...
