Turkish Ambassador Honors Philosopher Nurettin Topçu on 50th Anniv. of His Passing
In a reflective message shared on social media, the Turkish Ambassador to Egypt commemorated the 50th anniversary of the passing of prominent Turkish thinker Nurettin Topçu, a leading figure in contemporary Turkish intellectual history.
Quoting Topçu's philosophical vision, the ambassador wrote:
'Can you, Turkish children, transform the bones of unnamed ancestors beneath the ground into monuments? If so, it means you have become a person of national culture. Otherwise, your fortress-like apartment buildings—wealth vaults buzzing with countless rough-voiced cars—will not save our national culture.'
The ambassador noted that he first encountered Topçu's ideas during his university years through Dergâh Publishing, expressing gratitude and respect for the philosopher's enduring legacy.
He concluded his message by saying: 'May he be remembered with mercy.'
Topçu, known for his advocacy of spiritual nationalism, moral integrity, and cultural consciousness, remains a towering figure in Turkish intellectual discourse.

Lavrov warns against anti-Russia alliances in Asia during North Korea visit
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Saturday warned the United States and its allies against creating security threats for Moscow and Pyongyang, praising North Korea for its military support in Ukraine, which he described as 'invincible brotherhood.' Speaking to journalists after talks with his North Korean counterpart Choe Son Hui in the resort city of Wonsan, Lavrov said Moscow and Pyongyang's cooperation contributes to stability on the Korean peninsula. 'Russia warns the United States, South Korea, and Japan against misusing their relations to build alliances directed against any party, including the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Russia,' Lavrov said, according to Russian media. Lavrov said North Korea's leadership had drawn the right conclusions long before what he called the 'Israeli-American strikes against Iran.' 'And for this very reason, that these conclusions were reached in a timely manner, no one thought of using force against Korea, even though the military buildup around it with the participation of the United States, South Korea and Japan continues,' he said. The Russian minister added that Moscow understands Pyongyang's reasons for its nuclear programme and respects its actions, noting that the 'technologies used by the DPRK are the product of the work of its scientists.' UKRAINE COOPERATION Lavrov directly addressed the participation of North Korean forces in the conflict in Ukraine, saying their involvement in the 'liberation' of Russia's Kursk region was direct proof of the nations' strong bond. He said the North Korean side had affirmed its 'unequivocal support' for all of Russia's objectives in its special military operation. 'Russia had no reason to refuse Pyongyang's help in the special operation; it was a sincere expression of solidarity,' Lavrov said, adding that any decisions on further assistance were up to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Choe Son Hui, the North Korean foreign minister, said her country supported Russia's right to protect its territorial integrity and sovereignty 'unconditionally and steadfastly.' The two nations have deepened their ties since signing a mutual defence pact last year. Western governments have accused the Kremlin of trading Russian military technologies for North Korean weapons and manpower for the war in Ukraine, a move they say gives Pyongyang's army modern combat experience. Ukraine's military intelligence chief, Kyrylo Budanov, said in an interview with Bloomberg that North Korea was now supplying Russia with up to 40% of its needed ammunition. South Korea's intelligence service has reported that Pyongyang may be preparing to deploy additional troops to Russia after sending more than 10,000 soldiers to fight. Lavrov's visit is the latest high-level meeting between the two countries. It comes less than a month after Pyongyang reportedly agreed to send 6,000 military engineers and construction workers to Russia's Kursk region. During his visit, Lavrov also dismissed attempts to create a 'multinational force to protect Ukraine' as 'pure fantasy.' The Russian foreign minister arrived in North Korea for a three-day visit as part of a 'second round of strategic dialogue,' his ministry's spokesperson said. He is expected to travel to China for a Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting after his visit.

US Imposes Sanctions on Cuban President
Israa Farhan The United States announced new sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel on Friday, marking a significant escalation in pressure against the island's leadership. The move comes exactly four years after the largest anti-government protests Cuba has seen in decades. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Washington has imposed visa restrictions on Díaz-Canel for what it described as his role in the Cuban regime's violent repression of its citizens during and after the 2021 demonstrations. In addition to the Cuban president, the sanctions also target senior officials within the government. These include Defence Minister Álvaro López Miera and Interior Minister Lázaro Alberto Álvarez Casas, both accused of playing key roles in the crackdown on dissent. The protests that erupted across Cuba in July 2021 were driven by widespread public frustration over economic hardship, food shortages, and restrictions on freedoms. The government responded with mass arrests and heavy-handed tactics that drew international condemnation. This new wave of sanctions highlights the Biden administration's firm stance on human rights abuses in Cuba, as well as its commitment to supporting democratic movements across the region. The sanctions are expected to further limit the ability of targeted officials to travel and access assets abroad. Washington's decision also signals a shift toward increased accountability for foreign leaders accused of systemic repression, potentially setting a precedent for future policy actions in Latin America and beyond. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
