1933 yılında Atatürk, General Mac Artur'a şöyle der; "Allah nasip eder, ömrüm vefa ederse Musul, Kerkük ve adaları geri alacağım.
Selanik de dâhil Batı Trakya'yı Türkiye hudutları içine katacağım."

I love Albania for this.
This is how it began for the Palestinians— the Rothschilds and their agents buying up land. What came next was the Nakba and the erasure of their identity, followed by today’s Holocaust.
Fight Israeli settlers like the hell that you will endure if you don’t. This is the only way.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸 La confesión de una periodista estadounidense que los expone.

Abby Martin regresó de Israel horrorizada y lo comparó directamente con Berlín 1932.

“Sentí asco total… En solo unos pasos me preguntaban si era árabe. Cuando dije que era estadounidense, empezaron a hablar abiertamente del odio que sienten por los palestinos.”

Vio mítines pidiendo expulsar a todos los refugiados, campos de concentración en el desierto para africanos, y hasta esterilización forzada de mujeres etíopes.

“Nos dijeron que Israel era un refugio seguro para las víctimas del Holocausto… pero es un etno-estado construido sobre la supremacía y el odio.

El sionismo es esto.” Esto no es “propaganda”.

Es el testimonio de alguien que vio la sociedad israelí por dentro: racismo abierto, desprecio por cualquier no judío y una cultura de superioridad que justifica el genocidio en Gaza.

Mientras bombardean niños y destruyen vidas, esta mentalidad enferma sigue creciendo.

Gracias Abby Martin por decir la verdad sin miedo.

El mundo ya no puede negar lo que Israel realmente es.

🇺🇸 Theologian JD Hall on Tucker:

“The Muslim rulers didn't tax churches during the Ottoman period. They were very kind to Christians.”

“As a matter of fact, they took care of our holy sites. Islamic authorities rebuilt the Church of the Holy Sepulcher 3 different times over the centuries.”

While they have obviously had conflict over the centuries, Islam and Christianity are directly connected.

Muslims view Jesus as one of the greatest prophets and messengers of God. Belief in him is a core article of Islamic faith. No one can be a Muslim without believing in Jesus as a prophet.

The Quran calls Mary chosen and purified "above the women of the worlds" (Quran 3:42), mentions her more often by name than in the New Testament, and dedicates an entire chapter (Surah 19, Surah Maryam) to her story. She is one of the 4 greatest women in Islamic tradition.

I don’t think either religion advocates for war, oppression, or a chosen people.

Yunanistan yine özgürlük, demokrasi ve adalet sınavında sınıfta kaldı.
Yunanistan’ın atanmış muftileri zorla dayatmasına karşı çıkan, Lozan Antlaşması ve ilgili uluslararası taahhütlerle güvence altına alınan haklarını savunan 6 Batı Trakya Türkü’ne 17 ay hapis cezası verdi.
Oysa 1913 Atina Antlaşması’nın 11. maddesi ve Lozan Barış Antlaşması’nın azınlık haklarını koruyan hükümleri çok açıktır: Batı Trakya Türk azınlığı kendi muftilerini cemaat tarafından seçme hakkına sahiptir. Yunanistan ise bu açık hükme rağmen on yıllardır muftileri devlet eliyle atamakta ve azınlığın iradesini yok saymaktadır.
Cezalar para cezasına çevrilse de bu karar açık bir hukuksuzluktur. Uluslararası anlaşmaları hiçe sayan, azınlığın dini özerkliğini gasp eden bu uygulama, ne yazık ki Avrupa’nın ortasında demokrasi ve insan hakları tiyatrosunun bir parçası olmaya devam ediyor.
Batı Trakya Türkü’nün Lozan güvencesindeki hakları, seçme özgürlüğü ve kimliği baskıyla susturulamaz.

[The Azeri Times @AzeriTimes]

Armenian Parliament Speaker Alen Simonyan: "Armenians should build relations with Azerbaijanis, Armenian society should move away from a ‘planet where only Armenians live."

"When something about your neighbor is bothering you - be sure that the same issue is bothering them too. When you say that so many of my people have been killed, they also have lost many. There are mothers, too; they love their children the same way, whether the mother is Azerbaijani, Georgian, Armenian, or Russian.

We need to move away from this “planet of Armenians.” There is a planet where only Armenians live. And I believe we are a wise people, and we can understand that.

And the French and the English, they fought for 100 years. They called each other “frog-eaters” and “pigs.” They hated each other. They are now allies, they build the economy together, and they jointly set the rules.

And what are we supposed to do? What is the choice? And doesn’t a person living in Azerbaijan see the Armenian flag? Doesn’t it bother him? Didn’t we kill anyone there? Was the war all one-sided?

And why can they, but we can’t?

#Armenians and #Azerbaijanis, We must live together, we must trade, and we must talk. We have a lot in common in everyday life and in traditions."

[Jack Prandelli @jackprandelli]

🇮🇹🇦🇿 Azerbaijan supplies 16% of Italy's gas.

SOCAR just bought 4,500 Italian fuel stations.

This is what energy security looks like when Hormuz closes.

While the world watches the Strait Italy just rewired its energy architecture northward.

The Meloni-Aliyev meeting, what was agreed?

First Italian PM visit to Azerbaijan in 13 years.

Framed explicitly as a "reliable partnerships" discussion during Middle East instability.

→ Azerbaijan exported 25 bcm of gas in 2025 7.5 bcm to Italy
→ Italy: top EU buyer of Azerbaijani gas
→ TAP cumulative deliveries: 47.5 bcm since startup
→ TAP covers ~16% of Italy's total gas demand
→ Both leaders: agreed to push volumes higher via TAP expansion

Aliyev: TAP expansion "has already started but must continue"
Meloni: Azerbaijani gas has been "decisive for Italy's energy security" and Hormuz makes it more critical still.

The infrastructure behind the words

The Southern Gas Corridor: Caspian → Azerbaijan → Georgia → Turkey → Greece → Albania → Puglia.

TAP annual flows: 9.5 bcm and rising.

Recent compressor upgrades: +1.2 bcm/year added capacity.

Technical ceiling with full expansion: toward 20 bcm/year.

Every bcm that comes through TAP is one bcm that doesn't need to come through Hormuz.

The SOCAR downstream move
This is where it gets structural.

SOCAR Azerbaijan's state oil company just acquired 99.82% of Italiana Petroli (IP):
→ 10 mt/year refining capacity across 2 Italian refineries
→ 4,500 service stations across Italy
→ Aviation fuel, bitumen, logistics assets included
→ EC approved: February 2026

Gas flows in via TAP.

Oil and products flow out via IP's refineries and retail network.

SOCAR now has a vertically integrated position inside the EU's 3rd largest economy.

Bilateral trade: €10.2 billion in 2025 Italy is Azerbaijan's largest commercial partner.

Azerbaijan invested €2.5 billion in Italy.

That's an energy alliance formalised by war.

The EU wants Russian gas gone.

Gulf supply is physically disrupted.

The Caspian route via Azerbaijan is the one clean corridor left that avoids both.

The Italy-Azerbaijan-SOCAR triangle is the EU's northbound hedge:

Caspian gas in via TAP.
Azerbaijani oil out via Italian refineries and 4,500 fuel stations.

The map of European energy security is being redrawn not in Brussels, but in Baku.

[The Azeri Times @AzeriTimes]

Armenian parliament speaker Alen Simonyan has said he is ready to visit Baku if officially invited.

“I am ready to visit Azerbaijan at the appropriate time if an invitation is extended. I also invite my counterpart, Sahiba Gafarova, to visit Yerevan,” he told journalists.

Decoding Türkiye’s provincial renewable geography

Türkiye’s renewable story is not uniform, it is geographically asymmetric and resource-driven

Solar generation vs solar potential
Southern and central provinces show the highest solar potential (≈1500–1700 kWh/kWp)
Yet actual solar generation is more concentrated in specific provinces (e.g., Konya, Karaman, Şanlıurfa)
But...
High potential does not automatically translate into high output: investment, grid access, and land use constraints matter

Hydro: geography dominates
Hydro generation is heavily concentrated in the East and Southeast (e.g., Şanlıurfa, Elazığ, Tunceli, Erzurum). Western regions show limited hydro contribution

Hydro is location-locked, unlike solar and wind: expansion potential is structurally constrained

Wind: coastal advantage
Wind generation is strongest in Aegean and Marmara (İzmir, Balıkesir, Çanakkale)
Interior regions remain largely underdeveloped

So...
Wind follows geography + grid proximity to demand centers

Final insights
Solar >> high potential everywhere, uneven deployment
Hydro >> concentrated, already largely exploited
Wind >> coastal clustering

And...
Türkiye’s challenge is no longer capacity, it is balancing geography with grid infrastructure
