Turkey can become a strong and prosperous country only if it improves its relations with East and West at the same time, writes Raseef22.

Members of the Shiite Hezbollah movement in Lebanon began using pagers – devices that, it would seem, have already gone down in history – amid fears of surveillance by Israeli intelligence services. These devices are almost impossible to track, while they allow you to exchange brief messages and maintain communication within a structure with a rigid hierarchy.

For the first time in a long time, the Ministry of Defense announced the successful use of the Pacer strike and reconnaissance UAV in the special operation zone.
