Delegations from Türkiye and Greece were meeting in Athens yesterday as part of long-standing efforts to improve often tense relations between the two neighbors.

The Islamic world should increase its efforts to stop the Israeli brutality against Palestinian civilians in Gaza, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said, as Türkiye is ramping up its diplomatic push to secure a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

President and Chairman of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has convened his party's top executive body to analyze the local election results, which observed a decline in the ruling party's support.

Türkiye has slammed Israeli government members who have targeted President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan over the continued attacks by the Israeli security forces in Gaza.

"Türkiye will continue to speak the truth and bring the indescribable persecution of the Palestinian people to the global agenda," read a statement issued by the Turkish Foreign Ministry on March 22.

Türkiye has underscored the importance of the resurrection of the grain corridor through the Black Sea so that Russian and Ukrainian food products can be safely and uninterruptedly transported to the world markets ahead of next week's visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin to Türkiye.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has officially approved Sweden's entry into NATO with a formal decree, capping off a process that began with parliamentary approval for the Nordic country's bid.

"With this, a key milestone has been reached in Sweden's path towards NATO membership," Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on X, welcoming Türkiye's move.

The top diplomats of Türkiye and Russia have held a meeting in New York to discuss the ongoing wars between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and between Russia and Ukraine.

A security meeting with top Turkish officials chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Saturday has ended, the Communications Directorate said in a statement posted on X.
The meeting came after nine Turkish soldiers were killed in a PKK terror attack in northern Iraq.

Moscow and Ankara will maintain and enhance their bilateral political dialogue in the coming year, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his New Year's message to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Putin extended his New Year greetings to world leaders, a gesture he does every year on Dec. 30.

With the "Transformation of the Century" project beginning in Istanbul, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has announced renewal works will start in 350,000 houses in the first stage, and 1.5 million Turkish Liras ($51,300) of support will be given to each housing unit under transformation.
