Greece is worried; At a time when tensions are gradually rising with mutual rhetoric on the Ankara-Athens line, Greece is increasing measures against a possible influx of asylum seekers in Meric (on the border). Against this background, pepper spray and sound bombs found in the warehouses of the Greek Police Service (ELAS) in Athens are being shipped to the Meric (border) area.
We call on Greece to give up arming the islands with non-military status. We're not kidding, our people will follow up if they say something. We see that our patience and cold-bloodedness are misunderstood by our interlocutor (Greece). Turkey does not violate anyone's rights and will not allow anyone to violate its own rights." Turkey will not back down from using its powers when necessary for its own purposes." —President Erdoğan

OP, I am Assyrian. And I have to say, I don’t base any of my identity on the genocide, nor do I know anyone who bases their Assyrian identity on the genocide. I listen to Assyrian music all the time, none of it is about the genocide. It is just a tragedy for us whereby we were kicked out of a huge part of our homeland, particularly the Hakkari region, where my ancestral village was, which now lays in ruins. Much of the massacres which were part of the genocide were committed by Kurds working with Turks as well. But there were large tribal differences, some Kurdish tribes were close allies and friends with Assyrians. Anyway, I work and am friends with many Turkish people and Kurdish people. I have no grudge against them, it was during a World War. I am not like a jew to base my identity on the holocaust and make people who never had a part in it feel guilty. However, I do feel very sad that because of the genocide, I will never be able to see my ancestral village populated as it once was. I will never have a country. I will never have a homeland where I can be free with my own people. Other than that, my identity comes from a history going back 7,000 years; it is very ignorant to tell me I base my identity on one infinitesimally small segment of that.

gardas can you give me a QRD on the newest kamikaze drone of Turkey?
Is it in service yet? And what's the payload? That thing looked rather big i mean did they build it to destroy bunkers or something?

>breaking the lausanne agreement
Retarded move from gayreeks, a splendid move for Turkey and drones. I'm not sure if greeks noticed it but Turkey has the continental advantage here
I mean just look at the borders, they can place a fuckton of artillery on the borders to greece and bomb it to oblivion. As long as Greece follows US policy they won't thrive. And they should stop daydreaming about EastMed, it won't happen
I remember when Merkel told Greece to sell the island if they can't pay their debt kek. Many people underestimated that woman, she was a fierce politician, more know-how than the current government
MUTTI COME BACK

>THE British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has warned that the economic growth in UK will “grind to a halt” in 2022 before briefly falling into negative territory, according to a report.
>It downgraded the growth forecast to 3.5 per cent from from 3.6 per cent, and said inflation would reach 10 per cent during the October-December quarter, the Sky News reported. Investment growth expectations have also been slashed from 3.5 per cent to 1.8 per cent.
>According to the BCC, the UK was threatened by rising interest rates and taxes, as well as the high inflation that’s leading surging petrol prices and energy costs.
>Recently, the organisation for economic co-operation and development has said that Britain’s growth in 2023 will be worse than any G20 country except Russia as there will be no GDP expansion .
>Reports suggested that the average cost of filling a typical family car with petrol could exceed £100 for the first time.
>Alex Veitch, policy director of BCC, said that the war in Ukraine came just as the UK was beginning a Covid recovery, placing a further squeeze on business profitability.
>“The forecast drop in business investment is especially concerning. It is vital that urgent action is taken here, and we are having constructive conversations with the government about its review of capital allowances and other policies to incentivise business investment. Stable and supportive’ policies needed,” Veitch was quoted as saying by the Sky News.
>“Growth could also be hit by falling consumer spending, caused by wage increases lagging behind rising costs. We forecast that, if trends continue, inflation will only return to the Bank of England’s target rate at the end of 2024.”

>According to Reuters, Wei and Austin are likely to meet on the sidelines. If so, it will be their first face to face meeting after having spoken to each for the first time via telephone in April 2022.
>According to Foreign Policy's Jack Detsch, who quoted a senior U.S. defence official, China approached the U.S. for a meeting on the sidelines to discuss “managing competition” between the two countries.
This is a development one must keep an eye on. This will be interesting. Last time the US and China met, harsh words were exchanged and the chinese showed their bold brass neck. I wonder how this meeting will go down and how the tone will be
