The head National Intelligence Organization (MİT) İbrahim Kalın went to the United States to hold talks with his counterpart, William Burns who is chairing the Central Intelligence Agency of the U.S.

According to sources, along with Burns, Kalın will also meet senior officials from the White House, State Department and Congress.

In celebration of the 97th anniversary of the National Intelligence Organization (MİT), the "Temas Istanbul" exhibition has opened its doors at the Ataturk Cultural Center (AKM) on Jan. 19, in which a collection of unique listening and surveillance objects such as shoes, watches, ties, and scales can be found.

At a moment when the international system is becoming highly uncertain and unstable due to the pains stemming from the transition period towards a multipolar world, the Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MİT) is adopting new measures and methods to address asymmetric and hybrid threats specific to this period, says the agency head.

Ibrahim Kalin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's spokesman and chief foreign policy adviser, has warned of "serious consequences" for Greece if it extends its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles around Crete.
