President Akşener addresses the Grand National Assembly

_{”My nation, my country, my homeland. 100 years ago the battle for our sovereignty, our independence waged in these lands. Our enemies stood strong against us, but we stood stronger. Striking them down with a single blow. The final blow was dealt on the the 25th of August, the great assault. Thousands of our ancestors under the leadership of our Eternal President marched on the enemy. The enemy left divided, a fort that was deemed impossible to destroy was left in rubble in a matter of hours. Our victory that morning lead our people to the greatest military victory in history. Our independence secured, we marched forward. Always marching forward despite the best effort of our enemies, undeterred. The flag of the republic forever shining for the progress and advancement of the Turkish Republic. Unfortunately we have entered another age where enemies hidden in the clothes of sheep have come out against the Turks. Never again will our heavenly nation fall to the tertiary of the weak. Never again will we kneel before a foreign power! Legacies yet to be told, legends yet to be born. We are the soldiers, the heirs, of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. An oath to never fall before our enemies is taken upon our birth. And that oath will never be betrayed! The Turks have been here before the dawn of time, and will be long after. We are a people like no other, who faced hardship unparalleled for our survival. And today we stand once again at the top of the mountain, stronger than ever. March, march down this road , the path of glory. The path honour. Waiting for us is immortality. Never stand on the road, always march forward, don't turn back on that road. From Ankara to İstanbul, to İzmir, Selanik, Lefkoşa, Bursa, Trabzon, Diyarbakır, Hatay, Gaziantep, Antalya, and all other realms of this heavenly nation. The years may change, but one thing will always stay the same. The will of the Turks. Today each and everyone of you have been entrusted with the oath of the Turkish people to advance our cause. All MPs stand for the betterment of our republic. Regardless if they may be a member of the İYİ, CHP, MHP, TKP, LDP, Green, or MKP. We are all Turks, with one mission. I thank each and everyone of your for your service, and wish only the best for each and everyone of you. And the republic which we hold so dearly. Thank you.”}

IN A SAME DAY MARKO GORANOVIĆ BOUGHT FC PARTIZAN AND PEČAT NEWSPAPER

Today, "the richest man of Balkans" tycoon Marko Goranović (net:$10 Billions), CEO of Gamma Holding, has expanded his business in two more areas - football and journalism. In a single day, for unknown price, he has bought both Partizan football club, which is along with Red Star traditionally the champion of Serbian league, and newspapers Pečat, the oldest leftist newspapers in Serbia. Once member of SDP, he is now considered to be financial source of all three parliamentary parties, but his career start as a journalist in Pečat has now ended up with him buying it. On the other side, he's well-known fan of FC Partizan, and whenever Government spoke about possible privatization of Partizan and Red Star, he was seen as a possible customer for Partizan.

Asked about Government's decission to sell Partizan to Goranović, Prime Minister Adam Marković said:

"We have entered the strategic talks with Mr. Goranović and Gamma Holding about our initiative to sell FC Partizan and their willingness to buy it for a price which is still classified. So, on the insisting of Mr. Goranović, we have scheduled the trade for today, since he wanted to arrange it in a same day as the other deal that he's made with third side. I see nothing problematic in that."

On the other side, Professor Jovan Bakić, hardcore socialist from the Facutly of Philosophy was not so optimistic:

"Although everyone in Serbia is free to buy whatever he wants, Government's decission to schedule this trade according to the needs of an tycoon is nothing but funny. Once young communist who wrote columns about social egality, now in a single day becomes the owner of largest Serbian national club and the oldest socialist newspapers. Well, who are we joking about?"

AND News
Presidential Interview

Reporter: "Hello, I am AND's Hannah O'Harriss, and I am here tonight with President Sol Wight. My I just add it is a pleasure to be meeting you in person, Mr. President."

Wight: "The pleasure is all mine Ms. O'Harriss. I couldn't think of any better way to spend my night then being at home with Laura and my little Beth."

O'Harriss: "Well then let's keep this short and sweet so you can go back home to your family, and please call me Hannah."

Wight: "Well thank you Hannah."

O'Harriss: "Let's get straight into it." Hannah grabs a notebook from the end table to her right. "What do you have to say about the growing nationalism in certain countries to our East?"

Wight: "First, let me say I am all about patriotism. Being proud of one's home and history is an honorable thing. Although nationalism takes it too far. We should love our neighbors, no matter where they come from. Nationalism makes us look at the world and see imaginary borders. We see countries and not their citizens. We get lost in thought with us versus them. When we all are just people, mothers, fathers, sons, and daughter. We are all people just trying to provide for our families, and to strive in life."

O'Harriss: "So do you just see the people who smuggled in over three tonnes of hashish over the Moroccan border last year, to fund the Jihadist, as people striving to do their best?"

Wight: "Well, I think the are doing their version of their best. They grew up in tough situation and don't see the world to its true potential. They only see the worst in the world, and see it only as a place full of hate. That is partially all of our faults. As we go on and live our lives, they grow up in a place that all that surrounds them is hate. Together we can make the world a better place. To where no one has to grow up in an environment that makes them that way."

O'Harriss: "Okay, I said I would make this quick, so let's do one more question. With the recent events in Istanbul, during the UFEA Super Cup, what is your reaction to racism against Arabians?"

Wight: "To judge people, just because where they are from is sickening. When people act these ways it just shows how unknowledgeable they are. The Mayor of Istanbul is just a racist, small-minded, person."

O'Harriss: "So are you saying all Turkish people are '"racist small-minded"' people as well? He is an elected official after all, the people voted for him."

Wight: "What, no, no, no, I don't think that at all. I just think that the people who think like him are just louder then the ones who don't. Protest in countries, for example, make it seem like everyone thinks the same thing. Well, in reality, the people who don't agree aren't holding a protest of the the protest. Also since when does the Mayor of Istanbul speak for the Turkish people and President? The Turkish people voted for the President, the Istanbulites voted for the Mayor."

O'Harriss: "Well, thank you for your time Mr. President. I can't wait tell we meet again."

Wight: "Thank you for having me." Wight shakes Hannah's hand then stands up and walks off screen.

PARLIAMENT ON SUMMER HOLIDAY

Starting from August 15th, Skupština MPs are in status of collective holiday until September 1st, and in that period Parliament would not pass the legislations, although necessary duties would be provided by care-taking officials. All debates that were scheduled for this period are postponed for September, and all parliamentary clubs as well as Skupština restaurant would be closed in meantime. RH Speaker Milentijević has wished all MPs to spend their holidays with families, but not to forget that they also represent people out of the Skupština and during their visits to foreign nations in summertime.

What is awaiting in Skupština in September would be hard debates over set of social and economic laws proposed by Finance Minister Ognjen Majstorović, carefully crafted in neoliberal manner. As he has addmitted, he's counting on the opposition votes, because rebellious MPs from the governing parties are gathering about young MP from Democratic party (DS) Balša Božović, who said that he's gonna lead the workers protests against those laws if they are not to be removed from agenda. Around him, he has gathered numerous MPs from both governing parties - senior ruling party SDP and his own minor coalition partner DS, who oppose neoliberalist approach and stand for welfare state, which has a long tradition in Serbian politics.

Leader of the ruling SDP, Interior Minister Igor Mitenović has withdrew to southern France on holiday with his wife and children, spending 15 holiday days in salons of luxurious hotels, lunching caviar and drinking champagne - leaving proletariat with unanswered question about his credibility to stand in front of an Socialdemocratic party (SDP) with that kind of behavior. While numerous are questioning his lifestyle, his party fellows defend him with saying that it is his private life which has nothing to do with his political ideals. "After all, Marx himself was married to an aristocrat." - said unnamed source from SDP.

Erhöhter Verteidigungshaushalt startet Modernisierungsprogramm von Landesheer
_{Raised Defence Budget Kickstarts Landesheer Modernization Program}

Written by Helmut Daimler

MÜNCHEN, BAVARIA --- The Bavarian Landestag has just passed it's new departmental budget proposals, which sees the defence budget rise. Last year, the budget was around 1.6% and it has been raised up to around 2.1% of the GDP, and it will be used to start a modernization program of the Landesheer.

The organization of both the Landstreitkräfte and Luftstreitkräfte will be overhauled, with some companies and bases getting shut down and new ones organised elsewhere. A new Quick Reaction Force under the Spezialeinsatzkräfte will be organised and begin immediately training for a multitude of operations. Two new squadrons of the Luftstreitkräfte will be organised and deployed to airbases in the country.

The modernization program also changes the current camouflage pattern in use by the Landesheer to a new BAYPAT camouflage. The first units to receive the new camouflage uniforms will be the 1.Gebirgsjägerbrigade and the 132. Verstärkt Panzerjägerbrigade. Uniforms with the new camouflage pattern will be distributed to the other Landesheer units throughout the rest of the year.

Lastly, trials will be held for a new service rifle to replace the currently used Standardgewehr M.3 that's been in use since 1996. The Ministry of Defence says it will soon be releasing a list of all candidates that will be trialed, and they hope the trials will be finished still within this year.

Deal made with Huawei regarding 5G on the EU territory

After European struggle to make a sustainable and secure solution for introducing 5G system technology, officials of the European Union have once again turned to the company which was planned as the original one to introduce it on European soil. Huawei businessmen from Zhonghua minzu gongheguo have met with European officials to discuss the new deal, and outcome was productive. While the details of agreement are not fully-transparent, two sides have agreed upon a joint funding of the project and joint maintaining it in terms of employment, with precisely arranged national quotas. Huawei has promissed further security development for the European customers, while European headquarters of the company would locate it's servers and data storage on the EU territory.

Interesting to mention is the role of the Dutch company Royal KPN, which would be involved in a project of introducing 5G on The be-nl union territory, as the junior partner to Huawei. It was also revealed that EU has had a separate talks with US Government about possible counter-deal with Apple, but that talks have failed due to strict market regulations in USA.

Turkish President Aksener welcomed by EU Council President Konstantinović

President of The Turkish-State Meral Aksener has successfully landed in Brussels, and was warmly welcomed by EU Council President Kristijan Konstantinović. Her delegation also involves Turkish Foreign Affairs Minister and Minister of EU affairs, due to the nature of her visit. Also, increased security measures were introduced during the welcoming ceremony in front of EU Council building, due to recent tensions inspired by hard words of Istanbul mayor and rising right-wing atmosphere in hosting EU member state of The be-nl union. After posing for a handshake photos for present journalists, two leaders have entered the building together and walked to a working dinner for two delegations, that is about to start at the moment.

Reason for the visit of Turkish President is her scheduled address to the European Parliament, which comes as a productive result of numerous obstructions and controversies. Before she has condemned the racist rhetorics of Istanbul mayor, numerous EU officials voted for cancelling of her address and even in the highest offices of the EU it looked like ties between Turkey and EU are going to break. In a last moment, phone call happened between two sides, and both realized that they are only going to loose in case of rejection of President Aksener request for address. Therefore, the address is going to happen tomorrow in at 12h, and it would cover an important area of social policy - the rights of the minorities and reforms that Turkey has passed on that field, which Turkish President consider to be "the largest package of social reforms in Turkey since the times of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk".

Three German states unified into single economic area inside the European Union

Yesterday, after the proposal made by EU officials, the representatives of three German states - Rhineish republic, Ostelbia and Bayernlandia have met in Brussels, under patronate of the European institutions and signed the deal making them a single economic area, on a model similar to those that Benelux states has. The agreement was signed in a presence of EU Council President, European Central Bank head and EU Commission President, who is a German herself. A tears of proudness in her eyes, during the ceremonial speech given by EU Council President on a celebration lunch that followed, tells us much more about a strong German emotion inside her than what she is politically ready to admitt.

While press has covered the details of the deal with a fullest attention due to German importance for the EU as a whole, not much would change on a terrain for a German citizens. Since all three states are involved in the EU, they already have open borders policy and free transport of people, materials and capital, so the only thing that now changes is how the rest of Europe is going to treat them. Also, this measure comes as a great example of unity in this difficult times for Europe, when voices of those who stand for divide are gathering more and more support.

Salahuddin Rabbani responds to Imperium egypt's Foreign Ministry

Khaama Press
Kabul, Afghanistan
8/17/2019

Salahuddin Rabbani, current Foreign Minister of Afghanistan, was seen leaving the Presidential Palace earlier today after a meeting with President Ashraf Ghani. The meetings agenda primarily covered comments by the Imperium egyptian government earlier today. His office released a public announcement regarding the Egyptian comments.

"The people of Afghanistan know what hard work is. We understand the value of what we do, and how we do it. We as a nation do everything in our way, the Afghan way. For an Arab nation to insult us while doing nothing to attempt to resolve the issue is useless. It is merely a way of scoring political points on the international stage. To claim that the Afghan National Army has done nothing in the fight against terrorism is absolutely false. On average, 40 Afghan soldiers die every day to keep our nation safe, and to keep the fight against radical Islam going. To even say that our nation does not actively work to keep Islam holy is truly an offensive statement. Let me ask the Egyptians, how many soldiers do you send to Afghanistan to help? How many dollars has Egypt given us to help rebuild the nation? When was the last time an Arab nation has done anything positive in our country?

To claim that the problem is as easy as "clamping down on terrorist hubs" truly shows the incompetence of Egyptian leadership. If it was this simple, why were they unable to clamp down on rebel protests in 2011? Do not comment on issues of other nations if you do not have all the details. Afghanistan has a fighting culture, and has always had this. Alexander the Great, the Mongols, the British, and the Russians have all paid their price in blood to attempt to control our nation. Egypt on the other hand was unable to fight Israel. And the leadership still bends over backwards for the Zionists, allowing them influence over their nation. And while this goes on, they dare claim that we represent radical Islam?

It is for these reasons that we are unable to work with the Arab world on regional issues, as their gross misunderstanding and negligence of Islam and politics reflects in their actions. We will continue to work with Afsharid Persia to help preserve our culture, our nation, our identity as Afghans.

When the Egyptians realize their mistake, we may once again resume political talks. Until that day, Afghanistan has no business with incompetent Arabs."
