๐Ÿ”ด Erdogan says Turkey "broke the shackles" when it converted Hagia Sofia into a mosque again
>https://archive.is/ceBqU

๐Ÿ”ธ A few weeks away from the elections, Erdogan went back to his usual Neo-Ottoman rhetoric despite his popularity falling and also despite a statement from the Turkish Supreme Court saying his candidacy being unconstitutional after having already served two terms

๐Ÿชณ"We put the signature to open Hagia Sophia as a mosque. After 86 years of nostalgia, it returned to its true image and always in accordance with the will of Muhammad the Conqueror. I see this as an action that broke the shackles that our people had and tore them into pieces"

๐Ÿชณ "Hagia Sophia is a legacy of the Fall. We brought it back with the prayers of Muhammad and the sounds of the imams. In this way, Turkey globally validated its economic and political independence. I praise God for allowing us to open Hagia Sophia again like a holy book"

๐Ÿ”ด Greek authorities continue to tackle terrorist cells
>https://archive.is/ElARc

๐Ÿ”ธ Although the operations to identify and arrest terrorist isnt made public right away or in detail. The Europol has made reports and some information was also showcased at "To Vima tis Kyriaki". Most former ISIS members attempt to erase their traces after reaching Greece and pretend being a normal person

โš ๏ธ Some notable arrests made public so far:
โ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‰ a 27-year-old jihadist from Syria at the shelter in Eleonas, linked to a massacre of around 1,500 people (members of the Shaitat tribe) in August 2014 by ISIS

โ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‰ a 27-year-old Tajik national listed as a "leading member of ISIS" in Tripoli

โš ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธ Many other arrests between 2021-2023 also dont seem to have been made public since Greece is used by them as a gateway to leave or return to their countries and investigations are still ongoing
