A lawsuit filed against the 🇬🇷 state at the 🇪🇺 court of human rights accuses Athens of a
“shocking level of violence” in
“sophisticated inter-agency operations” that form part of an “illegal pushback strategy” to
stop the arrival of refugees and migrants.
(doing their job?) The article is signed by Bethan McKernan, Middle East correspondent. The 🎥 that “proves” the claims in the article, is again (surprisingly) delivered by the 🇹🇷coastguard.

🧵 Άγιο Όρος - Athos

The Holly Mountain is an autonomous area in northeastern Greece that is the site of several Greek Orthodox monasteries founded in the 10th century and has kept faith, tradition and authenticity through centuries to today. I saw this wonderful documentary about it, and this is the reason I share it with you. The history and the value of this place is enormous. Impossible to describe in a tweet.
But it is for eastern Orthodox Christians a sacred place if pure faith and wisdom.

In 🇩🇪 organisations with links to the MB are under observation by the domestic security service, the Protection of the Constitution off (BfV).However, the movement is not prohibited in 🇩🇪 so it has space to spread its influence through infiltration strategies or “entryism Image “Formation of Umbrella Organizations
Brotherhood associations are often difficult for politicians to see in 🇩🇪 and even when they are noticed the primary interest of politicians is to keep this from the public to avoid reputational damage, rather than expose MB entryism.”

Following @BAUDEGS I have experienced hateful and propagandist tweets time after time. I have been shocked that an academic community would be so reckless with their publications. So I did some research.
The question is:
Is this an official account for Bahcesehir Uni (Bau)? Bahcesehir Uni, BAU has an official website bau.edu.tr which links to their social media, leading to their Twitter account @Bahcesehir

“Turkey has always done its own thing: “rejection of subjugation to the West has long been the bedrock of Turkish politics, whether its leadership was religious or secular, leftist or rightwing.” “🇹🇷launched a brisk charm offensive with the EU and the new 🇺🇸president. A case in point was Erdoğan’s speech on 22.11.2020, in which he said, “We see ourselves as an inseparable part of 🇪🇺. We have always been the strongest member of Western Alliances, NATO in particular.”

Η αγορά και κάποιες δραστηριότητες μπορούν να είναι ανοιχτές στις περιοχές που δεν είναι επιβαρυμένες. Ουτε η οικονομία του πολιτη, ούτε της χώρας μπορούν να το αντέξουν. Ίσως να πρέπει να δείτε τα σύνορα, μιας και η μετάλλαξη ήρθε στη χώρα, και τωρα ζημιώνει όλο τον κόπο κ την θυσία που έχει γίνει και στην οικονομία.
