2…………….> Battle of Gallipoli: Journey Of Immortality

On the 103rd anniversary of the Battle of Canakkale, the Turkish nation remembered the martyrs of Gallipoli, with president President Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaking at a ceremony held at the March 18 Stadium in the northwestern Turkish province of Canakkale to mark Canakkale Victory and Martyrs’ Day.

The Battle of Canakkale which took place in the province’s Gelibolu (Gallipoli) district in 1915 marked a turnaround in favour of the Turks against the Allied forces during the World War I.

“Today we know very well the meaning of this struggle against terrorist organizations and the forces behind them both inside and outside our borders,” Mr Erdogan said.

4…………> Russian Nerve Gas Attack: “Unthinkable”

Fresh from his 75% popular support re-election victory, Russian President Vladimir Putin said it is nonsense to think that Moscow would have poisoned former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, who are critically ill in a British hospital.

 

“As for the tragedy that you mentioned, I found out about it from the media. 

‘The first thing that entered my head was that if it had been a military-grade nerve agent, the people would have died on the spot,” Mr Putin told reporters.

 “Secondly, Russia does not have such [nerve] agents. We destroyed all our chemical weapons under the supervision of international organizations, and we did it first, unlike some of our partners who promised to do it, but unfortunately did not keep their promises. We are ready to cooperate, we said that straight away, we are ready to take part in the necessary investigations, but for that, there needs to be a desire from the other side, and we don’t see that yet,” Mr Putin continued.

“But we are not taking it off the agenda, joint efforts are possible. I think any sensible person would understand that it would be rubbish, drivel, nonsense, for Russia to embark on such an escapade on the eve of a presidential election. It’s just unthinkable,” he said, rejecting accusations from Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson that his country has been stockpiling it and investigating how such weapons could be used in assassinations.

The President’s angry stance followed a call by his personal lawyer for Rod Rosenstein to “bring an end” to that investigation.

The Fake News is beside themselves that McCabe was caught, called out and fired. How many hundreds of thousands of dollars were given to wife’s campaign by Crooked H friend, Terry M, who was also under investigation? How many lies? How many leaks? Comey knew it all, and much more!

‪@realDonaldTrump

The Mueller probe should never have been started in that there was no collusion and there was no crime. It was based on fraudulent activities and a Fake Dossier paid for by Crooked Hillary and the DNC, and improperly used in FISA COURT for surveillance of my campaign. WITCH HUNT!
