04.02.2025 ⇢ Syria Returns Through Ankara's Gate
⌨The morning began with another earthquake swarm in the Aegean Sea, as scientists warned about tsunami risks for coastal regions. AFAD President Okay Memiş's appointment as MGK Secretary General signaled institutional restructuring.
By afternoon, Syrian interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa's arrival in Ankara marked a significant shift in regional diplomacy. The visit, coinciding with ongoing discussions about Öcalan's potential "historic call," highlighted Turkey's complex positioning between Kurdish interests and Syrian reconciliation.
Evening coverage centered on three concurrent developments: the announcement of investigations into 750 private schools, Turkish Airlines' cancellation of flights due to incoming snow, and new arrests in the Kartalkaya resort fire investigation. Minister Tekin's announcement about school investigations and potential closures suggested broader institutional reforms beyond the education sector.
