People who associate the Grey Wolf sign with fascism conveniently overlook its original meaning. 🐺 The Grey Wolf symbolizes the Turks' legendary emergence from Ergenekon, a foundational myth. This sign has been used by Turkish people across a vast region, from China to Europe, for centuries.

Response to drunk Russian State Duma deputies fantasizing on Russian TVs about a ‘special military operation’ in Azerbaijan: The Azerbaijani Army isn’t a mob scraped from prisons. It’s the largest force in the South Caucasus—battle-hardened, 130K active soldiers, 300K reserves, armed with state-of-the-art Turkish & Israeli drones and weapons. Think twice, especially now, after you’ve lost nearly 800K soldiers in Ukraine.

What we know so far on the Plane Incident (as confirmed by pro-government media):
1.Attack by Russian Air Defense: The plane was hit by a Russian Pantsir air defense system.
2.Denied Emergency Landing: Russia refused to allow the damaged aircraft to land at three nearby airports, despite its critical condition.
3.GPS Jamming: The plane was subjected to extreme GPS jamming, forcing it to divert over the Caspian Sea and eventually land in Aktau, Kazakhstan.
4.Intent to Conceal Evidence: The diversion to fly over Caspian Sea was a deliberate attempt to have the aircraft crash into the sea, eliminating any evidence of an attack.
5.Demands from Azerbaijan: The Azerbaijani government demands official recognition, a formal apology, and accountability for those responsible for the attack.

Famously known for forcing an Azerbaijani POW to kiss the #Armenian emblem during the '90s conflict, he holds personal responsibility for numerous acts of torture and loss of Azerbaijani lives. He was appointed to high ranks because of his cruelty during ‘90s.

That gesture has a history spanning over 3000 years. It’s a significant cultural symbol for Turks, tracing their journey from the Far East to Europe, rooted in the myth of their exodus from Ergenekon.
Labeling every action by Turks as ‘fascist’ or ‘racist’ is the true act of fascism.

BREAKING: US brokers historic Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal at the White House. Here’s what Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the US will get from today’s agreements:
🇦🇲 Armenia
•Gains formal diplomatic normalization with Azerbaijan and the U.S.
•Secures U.S. economic partnership and potential infrastructure investment in the region.

•Strengthens its territorial continuity via the Zangezur Corridor.
•Steps away from Russian and OSCE-led mediation efforts, gaining greater independence on the international stage.
•Secures infrastructure investment through U.S.-led development of strategic transit lines.

Year 1915:
Palestinian forces (treacherously sided with invading British troops) ambushed large number of Ottoman troops in Palestine from behind their lines, leading to the tragic loss of 14,000 Turkish soldiers, while many more sustained injuries. The aftermath of this surprise attack saw another unimaginable torture & cruelty. 15,000 Ottoman soldiers were subjected to blinding and tortured by the very Palestinian “friends”.
