Turkey has received only two divisions of S-400s in 2019 which cost around $1.3billion.

BREAKING — Erdogan says the Hagia Sophia will be open as a mosque in July 24 with Friday prayers

• Entrace fee will be lifted
• Will be open for foreign and local tourists

Erdogan says instead of discussing the Hagia Sophia, the world should look into rising anti-Islamic and Xenophobic sentiments

• There would be 6-month work to complete conversion
• Will be in a good state for both Muslims and non-Muslims

Erdogan says the same logic would apply for both turning the Vatican into a museum and insisting to keep the Hagia Sophia as a museum

NEW — Turkey lashes out at the UAE for its statement accusing Ankara of interfering with Arab countries.

• “UAE statement is ugly/untruthful”
• “UAE is funding terrorists such as Al Shabab”
• “we invite UAE to know its place, stop hostile attitude”

— MFA

Turkish response to the UAE:
• Turkey has been always respectful to political and territorial unity of Arab countries
• UAE tries to hide its destructive activities in Libya by issuing untruthful allegations against Turkey
• UAE is backing coupists in Libya

— MFA

Gloves are off.

Turkish statement is really harsh. Basically accusing UAE of arming terrorists in the Horn of Africa and conducting destabilising activities in Syria and Yemen.

Wow, mass rioting in China, where citizens trying to cross a bridge between Hubei and Jiangxi. Stiff police control due to #COVID19 fears seem to have provoked people
