Full list of kitchen items which can become expensive if India ends all ties with Turkey
Earlier in May, a war-like situation arose between India and Pakistan. During which Turkey was seen openly supporting Pakistan. Following this, #BoycottTurkey started to trend in India.
In such a situation, the question is that if India's relations with Turkey deteriorate, which things can be affected by this? Let us tell you that this can affect many things in your kitchen. If there is a rift in the relationship between India and Turkey, then its effect can be seen on many things including kitchen items.
India buys dry fruits and spices from Turkey. In such a situation, if tension arises between the two countries, then spices and dry fruits can become expensive. This tension will have a direct impact on the demand for spices coming from Turkey to India. India buys almonds and walnuts from Turkey.
Apple: If media reports are to be believed, every year 1 lakh 29 thousand 882 metric tons of apples come to India from Turkey alone. In such a situation, the effect of the deteriorating relationship between these two countries can also be seen on the prices of apples.
Olive oil is now being used a lot in India. India also buys olive oil from Turkey. Olive oil is already very expensive and if relations deteriorate, its prices can skyrocket.
Cherry and herbal drinks: If you are fond of eating cherries and drinking herbal tea, then you may have to make a hole in your pocket.
Turkish Dishes: These days, the demand for Turkish dishes has increased a lot in India. Turkish dishes like Kunafa and Turkish Kebab have become quite popular in metros like Delhi and Mumbai. The effect of this tension can also be seen on these dishes imported from Turkey.
Apart from this, Turkish tea, furniture , carpets, handmade decorative items, linen, silk, marble etc. are imported from Turkey to India. All these things can be expensive.

Greece Creates Marine Parks That May Revive Turkey Tensions
(Bloomberg) -- Greece will establish two national marine parks in an effort to protect ocean wildlife, a move that could potentially strain ties with neighboring Turkey. The parks will be located in the Ionian Sea and in the Southern Cyclades, an island group in the Aegean Sea, west and east of the mainland, respectively. The Greek government's pledge to create a marine park in the Aegean Sea drew pushback from Turkey last year. The two countries have historically been at odds over sea borders and economic rights in parts of the eastern Mediterranean. 'These parks will be among the largest marine protected areas in the entire Mediterranean,' Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Monday in a statement. They will allow the country to meet its target of 'protecting 30% of its territorial waters' by 2030, ahead of schedule, the premier added. The establishment of the two marine parks is meant to preserve ecosystems, restore balance and set a new standard for marine conservation, Mitsotakis said. 'Unilateral actions should be avoided in enclosed or semi-enclosed seas such as the Aegean and Mediterranean,' Turkey's Foreign Ministry said in a statement in response, adding that Ankara would announce its own projects 'aimed at protecting the environment in marine areas' in the coming days. The area in the Aegean Sea hosts threatened wildlife plants and species and will cover almost 9,500 square kilometers. The park in the Ionian Sea will extend over 18,000 square kilometers and will include locations used by endangered animals like certain sea turtles. 'They will be vast sanctuaries for life beneath the waves,' Mitsotakis said, adding that 'most importantly, inside these marine zones the hugely damaging practice of bottom trawling will be banned.'

The European Union has eased rules for Turks to use its open-border Schengen area, the bloc's ambassador to Ankara said on Friday, calling for the urgent revival of negotiations on visa-free travel for years, Turks have complained about the EU's visa system. The EU has said the processes - managed by accredited visa agencies - have been slow due to the high number of applications and that it is discussing possible workarounds with Ankara. Ambassador Thomas Hans Ossowski said the new rules would help address Turks' complaints over long bureaucratic processes but warned it was not enough to permanently solve the problems."It will be much easier and much faster for Turkish citizens," Ossowski told reporters in Ankara, referring to the European Commission's new decision, in effect since July 15, simplifying the path to multiple-entry visas for who previously used visas correctly will be eligible for a six-month visa as early as their second application, followed by one-year, three-year and five-year multiple-entry foreign ministry welcomed the move and said Turkish institutions and the EU Commission would keep seeking further visa Minister Omer Bolat said the measure was a "facilitation that our citizens have been awaiting for a long time".Bolat also told the state-owned Anadolu news agency that Turkey wanted to start talks on modernising a customs union with the EU and for the scope of the accord to expand into the service and e-commerce has been an EU membership candidate since 1999 but its accession process has been frozen for years over issues ranging from human rights to democratic backsliding. There have recently been signs of increased engagement and economic said the EU had for more than a decade offered Turkey the prospect of visa-free travel and stressed the need to return to the liberalisation process."Every other candidate country has visa-free travel except Turkey," he said. "It is urgent to re-engage in this process of visa-free travel in the Schengen space and the EU," he Commission is ready to restart formal negotiations after the summer and work with Ankara on fulfilling the six remaining benchmarks required by the visa liberalisation roadmap, he said."We are ready, the Commission is ready to work closely with Turkish authorities," he said.

Hong Kong's Belon Rides Bistro Renaissance With Young New Chef
(Bloomberg) -- Hong Kong isn't lacking for polished French bistros, and as the competition sharpens, Belon is looking to gain an edge with a change in the kitchen. At just 29, Istanbul-born Mina Güçlüer has stepped into the role of head chef, making her one of the youngest to lead a top restaurant in the city, and among a small number of women running Michelin-starred restaurants in Asia. Her imprint on the menu is showing up in the form of cooking rooted in French technique that incorporates local ingredients and elements from her Turkish background. That's most apparent in her East-West twist on the roast duck: sourced from Guangzhou, dry-aged for 14 days, and served with apricot and bulgur wheat. The dish anchors Black Sheep's monthly 'Plated' deal, an early-week prix fixe menu at HK$428 ($55) per person. My guest and I booked spots for a Monday night. Straight away, we were pleasantly surprised by the New York jazz bar aesthetic: think sophistication in shades of blue and gray. In fact, nothing about Belon visually resembles a traditional Parisian bistro. However, the muted color palette didn't detract from the carefully crafted and delicious food. Another highlight was the staff, who were incredibly attentive and generous. After a complimentary glass of champagne, we began with the ceviche-style fluke (light and zesty on the tongue) and were charmed by our waitress into ordering chef Mina's signature brioche beef tartare (HK$398) to share. That was followed by the aforementioned duck and then we ended with a sinful mille-feuille (HK$198). Our bill, including service, totaled HK$1,658. The vibe: Contemporary chic in the heart of Soho. The overall ambience is classy yet intimate and laid back, with tables suited for up to four people. Belon welcomes smart casual attire. Who's next to you: The combination of various promotions brought out couples, friends, colleagues as well as families. Can you conduct a meeting here? Yes, absolutely. There's enough space between the tables to allow for formal conversations and the nu jazz soundtrack is a subtle touch in the background. What we'd order again: The brioche beef tartare with caviar is a crowd favorite for good reason. The buttery, melt-in-your-mouth dish is superb despite its unassuming appearance. I also have no regrets about indulging in the latest dessert offering – a colorful strawberry and Chantilly cream mille-feuille treat. Need to know: Belon is on the first floor of 1-5 Elgin Street. Its entrance is discreet, and the door to the stairway is tucked away between Fukuro and Ho Lee Fook. The restaurant serves dinner every day from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Guests who wish to immerse themselves in the action of the kitchen can reserve the chef's counter (seats up to four people) for what sounds like a unique front-row experience.
