The American Hellenic Institute (AHI) criticized Netflix's decision to restrict the international release of "Famagusta" to Greece and Cyprus due to Turkish government pressure.

Scheduled to premiere on September 20, the series covers the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus.

Today marks 69 years since the day when the Hellenism of Constantinople became the scapegoat for the beginning of the EOKA struggle for the unification of Cyprus with Greece. Two seemingly unconnected events, in two different geographical areas, but with the same “object”. Turkey’s intention to impose itself in the eastern Mediterranean by pushing aside the “obstacle” of the Greeks.

Constantinople was the capital of the eastern Christian world since Emperor Constantine in 330 A.D.

A joint US-Turkey naval exercise in the Eastern Mediterranean, which was never announced by Ankara, and the statements of outgoing US Ambassador Jeff Flake published by Politico, who stressed that Turkey in times of turmoil is even more important, are seen as signs of cooperation and re-engagement between the two countries.

Türkiye has welcomed the European Union's invitation to Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to attend an informal meeting next week where regional issues will be discussed, in the first attempt by Brussels to establish political dialogue with Ankara in five years.

Türkiye is poised to become a major hub for global investments, particularly attracting international carmakers with various projects and production programs launched in recent years.

Türkiye aims to increase its share of global foreign direct investments (FDI) to 1.5 percent by 2028, Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek has said.

In the latest development regarding the foreign school crisis in Türkiye, the Turkish and French authorities have reached a four-point agreement, with discussions ongoing on certain issues.

The positive climate that has been established in the last year between Greece and Turkey is on a collision course with the recurring rhetoric from Ankara about the expansionist doctrine of the so-called "Blue Homeland," which envisages Turkish influence over vast areas that extend from the Black Sea, to the Aegean and the Mediterranean.

The incident in July near Kasos in the southern Aegean which saw a Turkish naval mobilization was not not random, according to officials of the Turkish government who are loudly reiterating the rhetoric of the "Blue Homeland" - which envisages Turkish influence over vast swaths of the Eastern Mediterranean.

The Turkish government has announced the removal of the "25 percent increase limit" on housing rents, effective on July 1.

The cap, which has been in place for the past two years to protect residential tenants amidst ongoing high inflation, limited the annual rent increase to 25 percent.
