๐ด Turkish lawyer involved with illegal sale of property in Occupied Cyprus arrested in Italy

๐ธ A warrant was issued against the Turk, Hakan kurshat, by Cyprus in 2007 as the lawyer was connected to the illegal sale of properties in Occupied Cyprus to foreigners or Turkish occupiers. Other Turks were also involved and now avoid traveling to Europe so they wont get arrested
๐ธ Hakan Kurshat was arrested in Rome on December 30 and is being held by the Italian police pending extradition to the Republic of Cyprus to face trial
๐ธ "If Kurshat is not released or if the Italian authorities hand him over to the Greek Cypriot administration, the reputation of the tdvk (pseudocracy) will be damaged and unrest will be caused among the Turkish Cypriots . Furthermore, these arrests will continue" - said the president of the Nationalist Democratic Party of Occupied Cyprus while criticizing the government for not taking any actions after the arrest

The Holy Synod of the Church of Greece unanimously agreed at a meeting on Tuesday that it is โstrongly opposedโ to the Greek governmentโs promised bill on same-sex marriage and adoption.
โThe initiators of the bill and those who agree with it are promoting the abolition of fatherhood and motherhood and their transformation into neutral parenthood, the disappearance of gender roles within the family and the placing of the sexual choices of homosexual adults above the interests of future children,โ the Holy Synod said in a press release.
The conservative New Democracy government has promised to bring forward a bill allowing same-sex civil marriages, although it is still unclear when it will be tabled.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told the Greek public broadcaster ERT that the bill will also give same-sex couples the right to adopt, but not to have children through surrogacy.
