NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will visit Ankara next week for high-level discussions with Turkish officials, the alliance announced in a press release on Friday.

Scheduled for Monday, Rutte's visit will include meetings with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, and Defense Minister Yasar Guler.

Two Turkish opposition parties called for protests in Constantinople today after the arrest and replacement of a mayor accused of being a member of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

Nearly 200 PKK members have been "neutralized" in airstrikes following a deadly terror attack in Ankara last week, defense sources said on Oct. 31.

According to sources, Turkish airstrikes targeted PKK targets in northern Iraq and Syria, hitting caves, shelters and warehouses used by high-ranking members.

Türkiye has officially delivered its first locally designed and produced multi-role utility helicopter, the T625 Gökbey, developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI).

The helicopter has been equipped with indigenous avionics systems designed by Ankara-based defense firm Aselsan.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that his country aimed to have its own "Steel Dome" multi-layered air defense system soon, adding that Ankara would also increase its long-range missile capabilities.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has vowed to deploy all available resources to combat terrorism, reiterating his government's commitment to eliminating threats.

"We are not complacent about eliminating the threat of terrorism at its source. Wherever we detect a threat to our country, no one can stop us from eliminating it," Erdoğan said at an event in the capital Ankara on Oct. 29.

The nation is commemorating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Turkish Republic with celebratory events across the country, paying tribute to the country's founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

Commemorations are spread across major cities, bringing citizens together for concerts, parades and public gatherings.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Monday reiterated Türkiye's commitment to advancing its defense industry and underscored the nation's resolve in fighting terrorism, after the cabinet meeting at the Presidential Complex.

Turkish security forces have "neutralized" 37 PKK members in northern Iraq and northern Syria, the Defense Ministry said on Oct. 28, as part of intensified operations in response to a recent terror attack in Ankara.

"We are determined, resolute, capable of eradicating terrorism at its source," the ministry said on X.
