Эрдоган открыл крупнейший в Турции комплекс мечети

Президент Турции Реджеп Тайип Эрдоган в пятницу (3 мая) официально открыл самый большой комплекс мечетей в Турции, расположенный на азиатской стороне Стамбула. В мечети одновременно могут разместиться 63 000 человек. Расположенная на стамбульском холме Камлика в азиатской части города, мечеть построена в османско-сельджукском архитектурном стиле, и ее можно легко разглядеть из любого уголка города.

Комплекс мечети включает в себя музей турецкого исламского искусства, библиотеку, художественную галерею, конференц-зал, мастерские, а также автостоянку вместимостью на 3500 автомобилей.

В нем шесть минаретов, представляющих шесть верований ислама. Четыре минарета имеют высоту 107,1 метра, что является данью победе турок-сельджуков над Манзикертом в 1071 году против византийской армии, что привело к турецкому господству в Анатолии.

Его главный купол высотой 72 метра представляет 72 народа, живущих в городе. Второй купол диаметром 34 метра представляет собой номерной знак автомобиля Стамбула.

В куполе есть 16 имен Аллаха, символизирующих число государств, основанных турками.

В завершении главный купол из трех частей, весом 4,5 тонны и высотой 7,77 метра, является крупнейшим в своем роде.

Ковер площадью 17,000 квадратных метров, выложенный в мечети, представляет собой специально разработанный ковер ручной работы. Минбар мечети, с кафедры которого проходят пятничные проповеди и религиозные праздники, имеет высоту 21 метр и на него можно подняться на лифте.

В ходе сильной речи во время открытия президент Эрдоган критиковал тех, кто нападает на невинных гражданских лиц во имя джихада.

«Никто не может нападать на места отправления культа на основе джихада. Расправа над невинными людьми - это не джихад, а террор, жестокость и убийства», - сказал он.

Президент напомнил о недавних убийствах в Новой Зеландии и Шри-Ланке и призвал придерживаться принципиальной позиции в отношении всех террористических актов.

Эрдоган заявил, что Турция будет продолжать борьбу с неонацистским террором, полагая, что "даже некоторые западные страны демонстрируют двойные стандарты в этом вопросе".

В своем выступлении президент Эрдоган приветствовал строительство новой мечети. "Мечеть добавит красоты Стамбулу ... Мы гордимся этой работой", - сказал Эрдоган, обращаясь к присутствующим на церемонии.

В церемонии приняли участие президент Албании Илир Мета, президент Гвинеи Альфа Конде, президент Сенегала Маки Салл, палестинский премьер-министр Мохаммад Ибрагим Иштийя, президент Исполнительного комитета Афганистана Абдулла Абдулла, спикер парламента Азербайджана Октай Эсадов, Президентский совет Боснии и Герцеговины Член Сефик Джафарович, Председатель Народного собрания Боснии и Герцеговины Бакир Изетбегович, спикер ливийского парламента Халид Эльмешри и лидер движения Тунис Аль-Нахда Рашид аль-Ганнуши.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).

NATO Chief says war is on Europe's doorstep, and warns against complacency

NATO Chief says war is on Europe's doorstep, and warns against complacency

Russia could attack a NATO country within the next five years, the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, said in a stark new warning. "NATO's own defences can hold for now," Rutte warned in Berlin, but conflict was "next door" to Europe, and he feared "too many are quietly complacent, and too many don't feel the urgency, too many believe that time is on our side. "Russia is already escalating its covert campaign against our societies," Rutte said in a speech in Germany. "We must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents or great-grandparents endured." Earlier this month, Russia's President Vladimir Putin said his country was not planning to go to war with Europe, but it was ready "right now" if Europe wanted to - or started a war. But similar reassurances were given by Moscow in 2022, just before 200,000 Russian troops crossed the border and invaded Ukraine. Putin has accused European countries of hindering US efforts to bring peace in Ukraine - a reference to the role Ukraine's European allies have recently played in trying to change a US peace plan to end the war, whose initial draft was seen as favouring Russia. But Putin was not sincere, Nato's secretary-general said in the German capital, Berlin. Supporting Ukraine, he added, was a guarantee for European security. "Just imagine if Putin got his way; Ukraine under the boot of Russian occupation, his forces pressing against a longer border with Nato, and the significantly increased risk of an armed attack against us." Russia's economy has been on a war footing for more than three years now - its factories churn out ever more supplies of drones, missiles and artillery shells. According to a recent report by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Russia has been producing each month around 150 tanks, 550 infantry fighting vehicles, 120 Lancet drones and more than 50 artillery pieces. The UK, and most of its Western allies, are simply not anywhere near this point. Analysts say it would take years for Western Europe's factories to come close to matching Russia's mass-production of weapons. "Allied defence spending and production must rise rapidly, our armed forces must have what they need to keep us safe," the Nato chief said.
