Scottish historian Norman Stone, who argues that the events which took place between 1915 and 1922 were the fault of Armenian bands—and who draws attention to the massacres committed by these groups—describes how inadequate the Turks are when it comes to propaganda. "You are inept at propaganda, and I feel sympathy for people who lack the skill for propaganda—because it shows that they do not possess the ability to lie." "Look; Western public opinion has come to believe that the Turks are in the wrong regarding Cyprus. Yet, anyone on the ground knows that the situation is quite the opposite."

🇹🇷 I 🇱🇾 Libya’s eastern-based parliament approves 2019 maritime agreement with Türkiye, marking major diplomatic shift 🤝 Parliament also reverses 2020 decision to sever political ties with Ankara 📌 Approval signals growing cooperation between Türkiye and eastern Libya after years of opposition to Ankara ⚖️ Decision strengthens Libya’s domestic backing for maritime deal, potentially complicating Greece’s position in Eastern Mediterranean disputes 🛢️ Endorsement could accelerate Türkiye-Libya energy cooperation and open new opportunities for offshore oil and gas exploration More here 🔗 v.aa.com.tr/4094743
