The foundations of what is known as "Armenian Genocide" Day—April 24, 1915—were laid with deliberate falsification from the very beginning.

From 1517 to 1917, nearly all modern Arab countries were under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, whose sultan also held the title of caliph. Following its defeat in World War I, the Republic of Türkiye was established in 1923. Meanwhile, in 1932, after a series of successful wars on former Ottoman lands, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) emerged. Spanning approximately 2.15 million square kilometers and home to nearly 35 million people, its capital is Riyadh. However, what truly elevates its standing in the Islamic world is its stewardship of Islam’s two holiest sites, Mecca and Medina. In 1938, vast oil reserves were discovered in the kingdom, cementing its economic power.

The Middle East region is constantly grappling with new challenges and threats. According to recent reports in the Israeli media, the Nagel Committee—a special commission established by the Israeli government in August 2024 to assess the defense budget and national security issues—has released a report highlighting a potential confrontation with Türkiye. As reported by The Jerusalem Post, this threat largely stems from Ankara’s alleged ambition to revive its influence in the spirit of the former Ottoman Empire, as well as the possibility of waging a “proxy war” in Syria.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday celebrated the country’s 102nd Victory Day, commemorating the resounding defeat of the occupying Greek armies at the hands of Turks in the Battle of Dumlupinar in 1922.
