Bon appetit: The Deputy Minister of International Relations,
Türkiye ambassador Nilvana Darama Yıldırımgeç, and her husband partake in a traditional Turkish breakfast dish called menemen.
As part of the World Breakfast Day, which is celebrated annually by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) on the first Sunday in June, a hearty Turkish breakfast was presented at the residence of the Turkish ambassador, HE Nilvana Yıldırımgeç.
Guests indulged in everything from Turkish tea and coffee to menemen, simit, cheese and baklava. Turkish breakfast is among the country's finest culinary rituals.
The event aims to bring the Turkish breakfast tradition to a global audience. Van, in the east of Türkiye, is viewed as the country's breakfast capital with its diverse dishes and rich flavours.
The province broke the world's most crowded breakfast table record in 2014, when 51 793 people were seated at it.
Breakfast is so integral to Van that a street parallel to the main boulevard is unofficially known as 'Breakfast Makers Street.'
Ambassador Nilvana Darama Yıldırımgeç thanked friends and colleagues for attending.

Tehran After American Aggression: What About investing in current moment?
Sana'a - Saba: The American aggression against Iran on Sunday marks a dangerous turning point in the trajectory of regional developments, particularly in the conflict with the Israeli enemy. This aggression has placed Iran in an existential battle—one that demands a strategic reassessment of events, going beyond previous approaches. Iran must enhance its ability to seize current opportunities and effectively utilize both defensive and offensive capabilities. Among the most critical opportunities is exploiting the exhaustion and weakness of the Israeli enemy, particularly in terms of air defenses. This involves continuing and intensifying aerial attacks while focusing on high-value targets that undermine the enemy's military presence. The precision of Iranian missiles must be leveraged to drain the enemy's strategic capabilities, increasing the success rate of hitting key military objectives. Sustained attacks, under this vision, will lead to a significant decline in the enemy's air defense capabilities, escalating fears not only for the Zionist entity but also for Washington. It goes without saying that with each wave of Iranian missile strikes, Israel's air defense systems degrade further, tilting the battle in Tehran's favor. However, Iran must capitalize on this advantage wisely. American sources report that the Zionist entity is losing an estimated one billion dollars daily—the cost of its multi-layered air defense missiles. These same sources indicate that its stockpile of such missiles is nearly depleted, meaning the coming days will be increasingly favorable for Iran. Tehran must exploit this by carefully studying enemy targets within the occupied territories, maximizing strike accuracy, and ultimately rendering the enemy incapable of interception. This would leave its airspace vulnerable, further diminishing its defensive strength. Washington undoubtedly recognizes this and will not allow the entity to face defeat, as its collapse would mean the erosion of its fabricated existence. While the U.S. will provide support, continued Iranian missile strikes will inflict successive waves of exhaustion, regardless of the enemy's resilience or external backing. Over the past ten days, Iranian attacks have forced the Zionist entity into a defensive posture, reeling under relentless morning and evening missile strikes that have disrupted its offensive capabilities. Even more critically, these strikes have destabilized its domestic front, leaving settlers in a state of terror and compounding daily losses—not just for the entity's regime but for each individual settler. As attacks persist, the enemy's losses will mount, its relationship with settlers will deteriorate, and the constant threat of missiles will shatter any semblance of stability, reinforcing a sense of vulnerability. In the wake of the American aggression, the Israeli enemy will seek to exploit the moment by escalating attacks inside Iran. The only way to counter this is by uncovering spies, particularly those behind assassination drones. Conversely, Tehran must double down on strikes against the Zionist entity, denying it any opportunity to capitalize on the post-aggression period. Iran must turn this moment to its advantage—a reality it must fully grasp and act upon. Maintaining an unwavering offensive strategy is essential to breaking the enemy's strength. This is now an existential battle, and the options are purely offensive. The enemy will not relent, so Tehran must seize the moment, secure victory, and adopt a strategic vision that surpasses its pre-aggression stance. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Reports)
