Turkey is battling deadly wildfires across multiple provinces, with two fatalities confirmed and over 200 homes destroyed. The blazes, burning for seven straight days, have taken a sinister turn after a group calling itself “Children of Fire” claimed responsibility for coordinated arson attacks in six cities. The group, allegedly linked to the banned Kurdish militant organization PKK, says it started the fires as part of a political campaign.
The PKK has not commented on the claim. Firefighting operations continue near major cities like Izmir, Antalya, and Istanbul, with support from helicopters and aircraft. Roads near popular resort town Çeşme have been closed, and hundreds have been evacuated. As emergency services struggle to contain the flames, Turkey now faces a national security scare amid environmental devastation. The interior ministry has launched investigations into the arson claims while warning that further attacks may be imminent as the dry summer season continues.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran as a reckless provocation that violates international law and risks igniting a global catastrophe. Calling it a “strategy of bloodshed,” Erdoğan warned Netanyahu’s government is sabotaging diplomatic efforts over Iran’s nuclear program to sustain regional chaos. Turkey’s foreign ministry echoed the alarm, demanding urgent global action to prevent further escalation. As Ankara joins the growing chorus of condemnation, fears rise over a widening West Asia conflict and potential global fallout.

In a stunning betrayal, Turkish construction firm Gulermak has reportedly fled Kanpur, leaving behind ₹80 crore in unpaid dues and 53 Indian contractors high and dry. The company, responsible for the underground section of the Kanpur Metro, delayed payments for nearly ten months—then vanished. This came in the wake of nationwide anti-Turkey protests tied to Ankara's stance in the India-Pakistan conflict. Despite repeated complaints, UPMRC and government authorities took no action, allowing foreign officials to evade accountability. Is this a case of pure negligence—or a political embarrassment India can’t afford to ignore?

In a pointed diplomatic move, India has sent a strong message to Turkey, stating it expects Ankara to urge Pakistan to end cross-border terrorism. The statement reflects India’s frustration with Pakistan’s repeated violations and its expectation that global powers, including Turkey, hold Islamabad accountable. This bold message comes amid ongoing geopolitical shifts, underlining India’s firm foreign policy stance. It also signals New Delhi’s intent to challenge narratives that ignore the impact of terrorism on regional stability and security, particularly when perpetuated from across the border by state-backed actors.

Zelensky has announced he will not personally attend the upcoming peace talks with Russia in Istanbul, opting instead to send a delegation led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov. The decision follows a nearly three-hour closed-door meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara. Zelensky cited concerns over the legitimacy of the Russian delegation—headed by Putin’s aide Vladimir Medinsky—calling it a potential “sham” with no real mandate to make decisions.
