Turkish Aerospace Industries CEO Mehmet Demiroglu said Spain plans to purchase 15 additional Hurjet trainer aircraft after signing a deal for 30 of the Turkish-made supersonic jets, with deliveries to the European nation scheduled to begin in 2028.ASELSAN announced that its GOKALP Counter-UAV System successfully destroyed a target drone using a hit-to-kill interceptor during a live demonstration at the company's Ogulbey Technology Base, marking the entry of a fully mobile and cost-effective solution into Türkiye's autonomous air defense portfolio.President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday criticized the existing global order and the United Nations, warning that binding international accords and judicial rulings are increasingly ignored while the UN system lacks legitimacy for failing to reflect the will of the global community.Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Thursday that Ankara has finalized preparations to submit the Mecca defense agreement to parliament for approval, stressing that the pact provides for mutual defense and does not authorize attacks or troop deployments to other countries.The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Wednesday awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai for discoveries explaining how molecular asymmetry essential to life emerges through autocatalysis, resolving a century-old mystery about homochirality with significant implications for drug development.

A Palestinian, speaking about the war that began, said, "When peace, which has been patiently sought for many years, does not yield results, resistance becomes inevitable." Yes, when peace does not deliver what all sides hope for, war becomes inevitable.


The fate of war is similar in this regard. When war does not deliver what all sides hope for, peace becomes inevitable. However, there is one more possibility for peace. Peace is always a potential when even one party believes it cannot achieve what it hoped for.


Leo Tolstoy also had something to say about war and peace. Tolstoy says that those who start the war and those who desire peace can both be blamed.


How the war that started between Israel and the Palestinians will end, or if it will end, remains to be seen.


But the whole world is part of this war that Gaza had to start. It was the silence of the whole world that killed children in Gaza. It was not being with Moses and against Pharaoh.


While children, women, disabled individuals, journalists, and civilians were being killed in Gaza, the world that watched is unfortunately also responsible for civilians being targeted in Israel.


This war is not like the ones before. It doesn't seem to be ending easily.


What if Zelenskyy wants peace?

On the other hand, I think about the war in our north. Zelenskyy has almost thrown his people into the fire for the benefit of others. Let's say there was a chance, even a small one, of winning. But what does it matter... Peace was in the interest of all parties.


In Ukraine, too, dozens of civilians were killed or became victims of this war. There are many examples where it is said that it is not even clear who killed them.


If you pay attention, it's the Russian side that is talking about peace... Because Zelenski knows that as soon as he demands peace, he will also be blamed for the war.


But his deadlock is also leading Ukraine and perhaps Russia to the brink of destruction. There must be a way out of this situation. A way out seems possible only through a change in leadership.


An oasis surrounded by fires

Türkiye is like an oasis surrounded by fire from the south to the north... But this state of war and conflict threatens Türkiye's geo-economic equations. Although Türkiye has the capability to overcome these environmental crises and stay on its course, it could have provided much higher leverage for its own plans in a peaceful environment.


Under these circumstances, significant plans regarding corridors, the Mediterranean, and the Black Sea cannot be realized. For instance, consider the Istanbul Canal...


There is no problem with the cost of the investment when it comes to the Istanbul Canal because it has the potential to yield billions of dollars and can easily recoup the investment. However, such an investment that would bypass the Montreux Convention while there is a war in the Black Sea should be put on hold until peace is achieved.


These tensions in the surrounding areas can have a high impact on Türkiye. But this period is not a time for inaction either. The most correct and efficient action to be taken is to continue operations until terrorism is completely eradicated. So, Türkiye should continue its operations without stopping until terrorism is completely eradicated.
