Erodgan’s Dirty Politics RESURFACES As More CHP Leaders Arrested After Imamoglu’s Imprisonment

In a dramatic escalation of Turkey’s political crackdown, three more opposition mayors — Abdurrahman Tutdere of Adiyaman, Zeydan Karalar of Adana, and Muhittin Bocek of Antalya — have been arrested in sweeping early-morning raids. All are members of the main opposition party, CHP, which has faced a wave of detentions following Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu’s imprisonment in March. The mayors are accused of bribery, bid-rigging, and organized crime, though exact charges remain undisclosed. The arrests come amid mounting criticism of President Erdogan’s government, with critics claiming the detentions are politically motivated attempts to weaken the CHP ahead of future elections. Imamoglu, now jailed, has since been nominated as the CHP’s presidential candidate, and his arrest sparked Turkey’s largest protests in a decade. Observers warn of further instability if the crackdown continues. #Turkey #Erdogan #CHP #Imamoglu #OppositionArrests #TurkeyPolitics #CHPMayors #Adana #Antalya #Adiyaman #EkremImamoglu #ProtestsInTurkey #DemocracyUnderThreat #TurkishElections #Authoritarianism #CorruptionCharges #PoliticalCrackdown #Turkey2028Elections #HumanRights #FreeImamoglu ~HT.410~ED.103~

ā€˜No NATO? Then No Disarmament’ France’s Big WARNING Against Russia |France Draws Red Line On Ukraine [Video]

ā€˜No NATO? Then No Disarmament’ France’s Big WARNING Against Russia |France Draws Red Line On Ukraine

In a defiant statement ahead of key NATO-related discussions, French Defense Minister SĆ©bastien Lecornu declared France’s ā€œabsolute red lineā€ in the Ukraine conflict: demilitarizing Ukraine while denying it NATO membership. Lecornu told Valeurs Actuelles that Europe cannot accept a defenseless Ukraine outside NATO, directly rejecting Russia's long-standing demands for a neutral, demilitarized Ukraine. Russia, in contrast, insists any peace deal must address its security concerns — including Ukraine’s NATO ambition and military status. Lecornu's remarks come ahead of a UK-French push to reshape Ukraine’s post-war military under a Western ā€œcoalition of the willing.ā€ Meanwhile, Moscow warns such moves will escalate the war, with foreign forces seen as ā€œlegitimate targets.ā€ Tensions mount as Putin claims Ukraine reneged on the 2022 Istanbul terms that would’ve imposed limits on its army. The future of Ukraine’s military — and its place in Europe — hangs in the balance. #France #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #SebastienLecornu #UkraineNATO #NATOmembership #Putin #Kyiv #Demilitarization #Geopolitics #EUForeignPolicy #Macron #RedLine #CoalitionOfTheWilling #RussiaDemands #PeaceDeal #IstanbulTalks #TrumpUkraine #UkraineConflict #MilitaryAid Also Read Russia And North Korea Forge New Alliance Amid Ongoing War In Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-and-north-korea-forge-new-alliance-amid-ongoing-war-in-ukraine-3857193.html?ref=DMDesc Heightened Nuclear Risks As Russia, China Forge Closer Ties: NATO Chief :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/heightened-nuclear-risks-as-russia-china-forge-closer-ties-nato-chief-3855631.html?ref=DMDesc Hundreds Exchanged in Russia-Ukraine Prisoner Swap, Marking Largest Release Since Invasion :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-ukraine-prisoner-swap-hundreds-freed-in-largest-exchange-gen-3718639.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

Trump Pulls Plug On Russia Talks? Moscow FUMES As Hopes For Diplomatic Thaw Crash Again

Russia has revealed that Washington has ā€œpostponedā€ a crucial third round of consultations aimed at resolving bilateral irritants, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. The talks, initially expected to build on earlier rounds held in Istanbul in February and April, are seen as essential for easing growing U.S.–Russia tensions. While the U.S. hasn't formally canceled the negotiations, the delay has sparked speculation over Washington’s intent and diplomatic posture. Zakharova emphasized that contacts remain active behind the scenes and that Moscow still perceives interest from the U.S. in improving ties. The ā€œirritant removalā€ dialogue, seen as a rare platform amid escalating rhetoric, now faces renewed uncertainty.

Turkey Wildfires Kill 2 As ā€˜Children Of Fire’ Claims Arson In 6 Cities, PKK Links Spark Fears

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 ā€œChildren of Fireā€ 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 Ƈeşme 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. #TurkeyWildfires #ArsonAttack #ChildrenOfFire #PKK #IzmirFire #AntalyaFire #WildfireTerror #TurkeyEmergency #ForestFires #ClimateCrisis #TerrorismAlert #PoliticalArson #Kurds #EmergencyEvacuation #ƇeşmeFires #TurkishDisaster #SecurityThreat #FightingFlames #FirefighterHero #IzmirBurns ~ED.194~HT.408~

Turkey’s Big WARNING Against Israel Amid Attack On Houthis | BRICS Summit Boils Over Israel? [Video]

Turkey’s Big WARNING Against Israel Amid Attack On Houthis | BRICS Summit Boils Over Israel?

At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio, Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan delivered a chilling warning: Israel’s unchecked aggression could spiral into global instability. Fidan accused Tel Aviv of reversing decades of development through its war in Gaza and said multilateral institutions are now facing a legitimacy crisis. He called on the international community to act before it’s too late. His warning came amid growing BRICS concerns over AI weaponization, global peace, and economic fairness. Fidan alleged that Israel has used artificial intelligence as a tool of warfare, fueling unrest from Gaza to Yemen. With over 57,000 dead in Gaza and rising tensions across Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, BRICS leaders are urging urgent reforms. The summit, already focused on AI governance and peacekeeping, now confronts the fallout of Israel’s regional ambitions and the West’s blind eye. #BRICS2025 #IsraelGazaWar #TurkeyWarning #HakanFidan #AIWarfare #GlobalCrisis #GazaGenocide #MiddleEastWar #BRICSSummit #ArtificialIntelligence #Multilateralism #GlobalSecurity #PalestineCrisis #IranRetaliation #USIsraelAlliance #GlobalSouth #Geopolitics #WarCrimes #AIWeapons #IsraelExpansionism ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

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 ā€œstrategy of bloodshed,ā€ 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.

Turkish Firm LOOTS ₹80 Crore, FLEES Kanpur | 53 Indian Contractors CHEATED Amid Anti-Turkey Protests

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.

India Sends CHILLING Message To Turkey | Expects Push On Pakistan To End Cross-Border Terrorism

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. #IndiaTurkeyTies #IndiaPakistan #CrossBorderTerrorism #MEAIndia #BreakingNews #IndiaForeignPolicy #ModiGovt #TerrorismAlert #TurkeyNews #GeopoliticsIndia #SouthAsiaNews #TurkeyIndiaRelations #IndiaStrongMessage #PakistanTerrorism #GlobalDiplomacy #IndiaSecurity #TurkishPolitics #ModiMessage #NationalSecurityIndia #IndiaNews Also Read India Slams Turkey For Backing Pak, Urges Action Against Cross-Border Terrorism: 'Relations Are Built On...' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-slams-turkey-for-backing-pak-urges-action-against-cross-border-terrorism-relations-are-buil-4160853.html?ref=DMDesc Bengaluru’s Wholesale Cloth Merchants Halt Imports from Turkey, Azerbaijan Amid National Outrage :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/bengaluru-s-wholesale-cloth-merchants-halt-imports-from-turkey-azerbaijan-amid-national-outrage-4156025.html?ref=DMDesc India Revokes Security Clearance Of Turkish Aviation Firm Celebi Amid Row Over Ankara’s Support To Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-revokes-security-clearance-of-turkish-aviation-firm-celebi-amid-row-over-ankara-s-support-to-p-4154367.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~
