N. #Iraq / #Turkey 🇮🇶🇹🇷: PKK carried out a missile attack on Turkish Forces in #Kurdistan Reg Gov (#KRG).
The attack was seemingly carried out with a #Russian 9M113 'Konkurs' anti-tank guided missile (ATGM).
The group seemingly still has large stockpiles of ATGMs considering militants have been using Konkurs missiles frequently for several years.

#Turkey (#Türkiye) 🇹🇷: Two men carried out an attack near the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in #Ankara.
One of the attackers was carrying a #Russian 🇷🇺 RPO-A Shmel thermobaric rocket launcher —which is seemingly unfired.
It's originally supplied by Russia to Syrian Army and later smuggled into Turkey.
He also appear to be armed with a possible M4-pattern carbine which was originally supplied by #USA 🇺🇸 to an armed actor in #Syria or #Iraq.
The other attacker (suicide bomber) detoneted an (PB)IED near the building.

🇦🇿🇦🇲🇹🇷 In recent days, Armenia's information space has been abuzz with various significant events. Firstly, public TV removed footage of the sacred Mount Ararat, which holds great importance to all Armenians, during the performance of the national anthem.
Ararat is a paramount symbol of the Armenian nation. According to the Old Testament, Noah's ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat during the flood. In the original Hebrew Bible, Armenia was referred to as the Kingdom of Ararat. Although the territories where the mountain is located were handed over to Turkey in 1921 as part of the Treaty of Kars, Armenians have never abandoned the idea of reclaiming their historical lands.
This was followed by a speech from Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, in which he once again emphasized the necessity of holding a referendum and justified the surrender of Artsakh for the sake of temporary peace.
🔻When observing all these events, one can't help but realize that the current situation in Armenia is just the tip of the iceberg. Thanks to the actions of the Armenian authorities, the country is inching closer to its demise. Pashinyan is diligently dismantling the republic and handing it over to the Turkish alliance.
At the moment, the Turks have not yet renamed Ararat, and Armenians are still recognized as a distinct nation (for now). However, given the current circumstances, the mountain will soon be renamed in the Turkish fashion. Additionally, within Armenia, mentioning Artsakh is already prohibited.
Armenians may soon be referred to as descendants of the ancient Turkic nation, completely oblivious to their true origins. Considering how the Pashinyan administration is facilitating the rewriting of their people's history, this possibility is no longer far-fetched.

⚡️🇦🇿🇹🇷🇷🇺 Weapons from Azerbaijan to Ukraine
One can find many interesting things by examining various Ukrainian documents available online.
📌For instance, the decision of the Kyiv Economic Court sheds light on the military cooperation between Azerbaijan and Ukraine.
▪️ At the end of December, the Kyiv Economic Court reviewed a claim from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense against UkrSpetsExport to recover 82,696,776.00 hryvnia for breaching a state contract for weapon supply.
▪️ Representatives of the Ukrainian company signed a deal with a “foreign supplier - production association (Azerbaijan Republic)” for providing 95 units of 23-mm ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns, followed by another 40 units. In total, 135 ZU-23-2 were supplied.
▪️ The delivery was done via sea containers in parts through a “third country”, leading to a delay in the delivery.
▪️ Considering the geographical location, Turkey might have been the third party for receiving ZU-23-2 from Azerbaijan’s Nakhichevan.
▪️ The delivery dates also support the Turkey version: at that time, the well-established grain corridor was fully operational, with Turkey being one of the guarantors. The use of the sea route for supplying Ukraine might indicate direct Turkish involvement.
📌This can be seen as the first concrete confirmation of Azerbaijan supplying weapons to the AFU. The document states, “On November 2, 2022, and November 3, 2022, the entire batch of 135 units under the contract was imported into Ukraine in parts,”.
❗️Azerbaijan's collaboration with Ukraine is not new. Previously, the authorities in Baku provided humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Subsequently, it was revealed that ammunition was being produced for the AFU, and Azerbaijani mercenaries were involved on the side of the AFU. This arms transfer once again raises questions about Azerbaijan's stance towards Russia.

🇸🇴🇪🇹🇸🇩 Turkey mediating Somalia-Ethiopia talks on port deal
Turkey has begun mediating talks between Somalia and Ethiopia over a port deal Addis Ababa signed with the breakaway region of Somaliland earlier this year, Ankara and four officials familiar with the matter said.
The negotiations are the latest attempt to mend diplomatic ties between the East African neighbours, whose relationship soured in January when Ethiopia agreed to lease 20 km (12 miles) of coastline from Somaliland, in exchange for recognition of its independence.
Mogadishu called the agreement illegal and retaliated by expelling the Ethiopian ambassador and threatening to kick out thousands of Ethiopian troops stationed in the country helping battle Islamist insurgents.
Turkey's foreign ministry said Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had hosted both his Ethiopian and Somali counterparts in Ankara, adding the three had signed a joint statement following "candid, cordial and forward-looking" talks on their differences.
The Somali and Ethiopian ministers discussed ways to address their differences "within a mutually acceptable framework", and agreed to hold another round of talks in Ankara on Sept. 2, the statement said.
