🇹🇷🕵️♂️❗️ — Report by the National Intelligence Academy of Turkey Published: "Combating Terrorism and Turkey: IS and Vilayat Khorasan" | Commentary on the Turkish report:
➡️ The publication of this report clearly demonstrates the intentions of Turkish intelligence to centralize all intelligence connections in Central Asian countries and, through the new Academy, ensure the training of pro-Turkish personnel in the region under the pretext of combating terrorism.
➡️ In doing so, the existing institutions within the framework of the Organization of Turkic States will be utilized for the deployment of such activities.
🫡 The report's mentioned need for the implementation of religious education indicates an attempt to consolidate the influence of Turkey's own institutions, subordinate, for example, to TIKA (Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency) or Turkish NGOs, which fund the establishment of religious institutions worldwide.
🌐 Thus, the Organization of Turkic States is increasingly resembling a military-political bloc — a NATO for Central Asia.

The fake Zelenskiy account reached 20,000 followers on Telegram before it was shut down, a remedial action that experts say is all too rare. Stocks closed in the red Friday as investors weighed upbeat remarks from Russian President Vladimir Putin about diplomatic discussions with Ukraine against a weaker-than-expected print on U.S. consumer sentiment. "The argument from Telegram is, 'You should trust us because we tell you that we're trustworthy,'" Maréchal said. "It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into." At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion. What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm.
