After Greece issued a NAVTEX near the Greek island of Chios for military exercises, Turkey issued an anti-NAVTEX claiming that Chios is violating the Lausanne threaty and that the island is militarized, something covered multiple times and debunked since it does not violate article 13 of the Lausanne treaty that allows partial militarization

» Article 13
With a view to ensuring the maintenance of peace, the Greek Government
undertakes to observe the following restrictions in the islands of
Mytilene, Chios, Samos and Nikaria:

(I) No naval base and no fortification will be established in the said
islands.

(2) Greek military aircraft will be forbidden to fly over the
territory of the Anatolian coast. Reciprocally, the Turkish Government
will forbid their military aircraft to fly over the said islands.

(3) The Greek military forces in the said islands will be limited to
the normal contingent called up for military service, which can be
trained on the spot, as well as to a force of gendarmerie and police
in proportion to the force of gendarmerie and police existing in the
whole of the Greek territory.

——————————————————————
Turkey purposefully tries to twist the meaning of what the Lausanne treaty says, claiming that exercises or any military presence in such islands are fortifications when it clearly states that naval bases and other fortifications most likely related to an increased number of forces and assets, which Greece is not adding to the island.

Turkey has for years also violated the islands airspace and performed overflights directly over some of its cities and the islands themselves, violating the same article that they claim Greece is violating, such airspace violations happen on a regular basis although direct overflights usually happen with less frequency, usually during celebratory days in Greece such as religious Holidays or national celebratory days, an occurrence that has been going on for several years now without any actions from the EU or UN

🇸🇾 Syrian President Bashar al-Assad described Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as the "main instigator and initiator" of the ongoing conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region. "Let's be blunt and clear; Erdogan has supported terrorists in Syria, and he's been supporting terrorists in Libya, and he was the main instigator and initiator of the recent conflict that has been going on in Nagorno-Karabakh between Azerbaijan and Armenia. So, I would sum up his behaviour as dangerous, for different reasons", Assad said in an interview with Sputnik News Agency. He added: "Second, because he's creating war in different areas to distract his own public opinion in Turkey from focusing on his behaviour inside Turkey, especially after his scandalous relations with Daesh in Syria", claiming that ISIS "used to sell Syrian oil through Turkey under the umbrella of the American Air Force."

The town of Stepanakert, the regional capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is controlled by Armenian separatists, was bombed tonight, despite a ceasefire that has theoretically been maintained since morning. According to a senior Azeri official, the truce is only "temporary"

Then the silence returned to the city that was plunged into total darkness

Few, however, believed in the possibility of maintaining a truce.

"We know the Azeris, we can not trust them. They change in fractions of a second. This truce will not last. It is a ploy to save time," said Livon, one of the few taxi drivers in the separatist capital. "However, both sides need a break."

"I have lived in Azerbaijan for almost 20 years, these people hate us. We do not believe in a truce, they just want to save time," said Vladimir Barseghian, 64, a retiree and volunteer working in a costume factory.

Many in Azerbaijan say they oppose the truce. In Baku, 20-year-old student Sitara Mamedova is "disappointed": "No to the truce! The enemy must leave our territory or be exterminated in our territory."

In Barda, 40 km from the front, Murat Asadov agrees: "We must continue the war and take back our land."

Erdogan, has put his hopes on so-called "prime minister" Ersin Tatar, who leads the right-wing National Unity Party, the largest political formation in "Northern Cyprus"

The opposition, Mustafa Akinci, is the former "mayor" of occupied Nicosia, with the support of the small Social Democratic Party, bets on voters who consider Turkey's suffocating control, which has condemned them to international isolation, and has become catastrophic due to the economic crisis in Turkey.

Mustafa Akinci , in a television interview revealed that he had received threats from Erdogan's supporters not to be a candidate in the current elections. As he said: "Unfortunately, the message was conveyed to me through the director of my office that 'it would be better for you, your family and yours not to be a candidate'".

Ersin Tatar's low turnout in the polls forced Erdogan to intervene on a personal level in the elections. Last week, they and Tatar announced the reopening of the water pipeline from Turkey to the occupied territories, while Turkey also announced generous financial support to the pseudo-state to tackle the pandemic. However, Erdogan's most important "gift" to the Tatar candidacy was the announcement of the opening of the coastal front in Famagusta (Varosia), which was presented as an extension of the pseudo-state and a show of force against the Republic of Cyprus, and the international community

The UN Secretary GeneralAntonio Guterres has announced an initiative to resume talks on resolving the Cyprus issue after the "elections" in the occupied territories, by repeating the informal five-party conference (Three guarantor powers and two Cypriot communities with the EU as an observer). Turkey has made it clear that it will not return to the negotiating table from where it left off in the summer of 2017 in Crans Montanaas for her there is no longer room for a federation solution and other solution models must be sought (two states or a confederation). Ersin Tatar is fully aligned with Ankara, while Mustafa Akinci says the only possible solution is a bi-zonal bi-communal federation, with political equality, as described in UN General Assembly resolutions. Therefore, the re-election of Akinci will spoil Erdogan's narrative of the "blue homeland", which includes the pseudo-state.
