MATSUN
The Georgian Imedi TV has apologized for anti-Armenian captions on photos during the Chronicle program aired on Wednesday.
During the program dedicated to the ban on the export of Armenian dairy product matsun through Georgia the TV showed pictures of the product with the containers that read: “Karabakh is Azerbaijan” and “Dolma is also Azerbaijani.”
SPY
The National Security Service has detected and neutralized activities of spy network operating in Armenia.
There were over two dozen Armenian citizens engaged in this spy network, including Armenian Armed Forces employees. These people were offered to collaborate with the foreign special services, and provide them with the information about the Armenian military.
During the investigation, 19 people were detained on suspicion of high treason, and some of them have confessed.
CAVUSOGLU
In a new interview to TRT Haber TV channel, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke about relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan, Ukrainian crisis development and meeting on Syria.
The FM noted that after the 44-day war, which ‘put an end to the long-term Karabakh conflict’, the South Caucasus faced ‘new realities, opening the way for long-term peace and stability in the region.’
The FM added that the future and destiny of Turkey and Azerbaijan are closely linked.
ERDOGAN
Erdogan expressed hope his work with Israel and Armenia will influence Armenian and Jewish lobby in Washington, said senior director of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies in Washington.
Turkey’s efforts to normalize relations with Armenia and Israel represent a tactical shift in diplomacy rather than a value-based commitment to cordial relations, Aykan Erdemir added.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog may visit Ankara next month after Israel cautiously welcomed Turkey’s calls to repair relations torn apart by disagreements in regional politics and the Palestinian issue.
