🇹🇷🕵️♂️❗️ — 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.

Update March 8, 2022: EFF has clarified that Channels and Groups are not fully encrypted, end-to-end, updated our post to link to Telegram’s FAQ for Cloud and Secret chats, updated to clarify that auto-delete is available for group and channel admins, and added some additional links. "This time we received the coordinates of enemy vehicles marked 'V' in Kyiv region," it added. Telegram does offer end-to-end encrypted communications through Secret Chats, but this is not the default setting. Standard conversations use the MTProto method, enabling server-client encryption but with them stored on the server for ease-of-access. This makes using Telegram across multiple devices simple, but also means that the regular Telegram chats you’re having with folks are not as secure as you may believe. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements.
