In an age of endless channels, why seize just one? And who takes the hit when you do?

Who reminds whom about the rule of law these days?
As the EU’s Industrial Acceleration Act threatens to shut Turkish firms out of supply chains and public tenders, Ankara is the one citing the rulebook. @barcinyinanc at the Turkey-EU business summit in Brussels:

🇹🇷 "THE REPUBLIC IS THE PROTECTOR OF THE UNPROTECTED."
Atatürk's famous words have acquired a new political interpretation.
Cemil Tugay says the AKP carries that legacy.
For Izmir, where Atatürk's image has long anchored opposition politics, the symbolism is striking. t.ly/cFbk9

Meet GÜRZ.
Designed as a NATO-compatible hybrid air defense system, it combines Korkut and Hisar technologies on 6x6 and 8x8 vehicles.
Following September tests, it is expected to enter military service in 2027. t.ly/cFbk9

🔥 THE REAL TEST OF COP31 MAY NOT BE THE 35-35 TARGET.
It may be whether governments agree on where the electricity comes from.
Fossil fuel-rich states resist "clean." Others insist on it.

İoanna Kuçuradi, who died on Oct. 2 aged 89, took philosophy where it is rarely invited: ministries, prisons, police training, courtrooms. @shehbender on the questions Turkey's leading philosopher left behind. →

👀 ONE WIFE ON STAGE. ONE MOTHER ABSENT.
Cemil Tugay once said his wife would divorce him and his mother would disown him if he joined the AKP.
His wife attended the ceremony. His mother did not.
What happened to those dramatic promises?

Turkey’s fund scandal is climbing the political ladder.

Cracks in the Istanbul trial, but whose? A 10 million lira check allegation turns Medya A.Ş. executives against each other. Yet key confessions behind the indictment are wobbling too. Ekrem İmamoğlu's main defense is expected next week. Inside the courtroom → t.ly/cFbk9
On June 18, Cemil Tugay said he would join Özgür Özel's new party. Today he joined the AKP. Our portrait traced how that bond came apart, long before the badge. Read today's portrait here

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pinned the AKP badge on Cemil Tugay today. Back in September, we asked what kind of mayor Izmir really had. Our Portrait of the Week reads differently now. Worth a look →

The EU's new plan aims to stop candidates from drifting toward Russia and China.
In Turkey's case, writes @barcinyinanc, it could do exactly the opposite. 🔄

The AKP came to power on the struggle for the right to wear the headscarf.
A generation later, one of its prominent women politicians is in the news over money, not rights.
