AK Party Spokesman Çelik's reaction to Özgür Özel

 

AK Party Spokesman Ömer Çelik said, "Özgür Özel's commemoration of coup leader Kenan Evren side by side with our President, who came with democratic will wherever he was in his political life, shows that he is not even aware of the alphabet of democracy." said.                                 

AK Party Spokesman Ömer Çelik reacted to CHP Chairman Özgür Özel with a statement made on his social media account.

Steel used the following statements in his sharing:

"CHP Chairman Özgür Özel has made a statement that will again pass on the ”history of non-politics". Özgür Özel's commemoration of coup leader Kenan Evren side by side with our President, who came with democratic will wherever he was in his political life, shows that he is not even aware of the alphabet of democracy.

Since we have started multi-party life, the expression that best describes the CHP's political actions against democracy and the will of the nation is the 'Yassyada mentality'. The explanations and cruel practices of coup leader Kenan Evren are a copy of the 'Yassıada mentality'. Therefore, if Özgür Özel is looking for information about the political tradition that supports those who make a coup against democracy, he should look at the political history of his own party.

"He is trapped in the election process between the factions within the CHP Dec."

On the other hand, our President has repeatedly given historical democracy lessons to this putschist political tradition. If Özgür Özel wants to learn how to fight the putschist political tradition, he should focus on better understanding the political struggle of our President.

Özgür Özel also said that our power has 'fallen from the eyes of the nation'. It is impossible for Özgür Özel to find time to manage the factional fighting within the CHP and focus on the voice of our nation. Therefore, it is certain that the situation he has fallen into about 'reading poetry' will also live in this regard. Özgür Özel is trapped in the election process only among the factions within the CHP because he Decried the 'early election'.

While the CHP is engaged in the fight of factions, our government, under the leadership of the President, manages all important issues of Turkish and world politics with tenacity and advances to its goals with the will of our nation."

Will a possible tsunami affect Turkey?

 

Will a possible tsunami affect Turkey?

AFAD Earthquake and Risk Reduction General Manager Prof. Dr. Orhan Tatar, regarding the seismic activity in the Aegean Sea, "We anticipate that if the tsunami reaches our shores, it will not have a destructive effect," he said. 

                                                                           Prof. Dr. Tatar, Director of Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute Prof. Dr. Nurcan Meral Özel, Deputy General Director of Meteorology Yüksel Yağan and METU Civil Engineering Faculty Member Prof. Dr. Ahmet Cevdet Yalciner, AFAD mobile siren and announcement vehicle was deployed on the coast of Seferihisar district and made an examination in the Aegean Sea with a ship affiliated to the Coast Guard Command.

After the examination, Tatar made a statement to journalists and reminded that they had held evaluation meetings in Muğla, Aydın and Izmir.

Referring to the possibility of a tsunami that may occur after the earthquake, Tatar noted that:

"Especially as we come from the south to the north, that is, as we come further north from Muğla, we see that the danger of this tsunami along our coasts is decreasing more and more. But for example, if this tsunami effect occurs in different places in Muğla, Bodrum, Datca Peninsula, we predict that it will not come in a period of no more than an hour earlier. We show this as a result of the modeling we have done. We anticipate that if the tsunami reaches our shores, it will not have a devastating effect. As we come further north, especially as we come to the vicinity of Izmir, we can say that the impact of this will decrease even more or it will have almost no effect as we come to the region we are in today. In the event of a tsunami, it is possible to say very clearly that it will not pass to the north of Izmir."

Noting that the Kandilli Observatory and the Earthquake Research Institute will issue the tsunami warning to AFAD, Tatar said that after the warning reaches AFAD, they will announce it to citizens by text message, by more effective message methods or by announcement system if necessary.

Tatar, referring to the sea retreat in different regions in recent days,"It is worth saying that this is a meteorological event, emphasizing that it is not a harbinger of any earthquake." said.

What to do in case of emergency

AFAD Disaster Response General Manager Dr. Sadi Ergin also answered the journalists' question about what citizens should do when a warning comes with the emergency warning system.

Ergin stated that citizens should head inland from the water's edge if there is a warning, "In the event of a tsunami effect of a maximum of 1 or 1.5 meters, we will have taken these measures together with our citizens going inland. In the case of a volcanic eruption, a mask can also be used for this. He becomes protective. In addition, the hats of chimneys in houses can provide protection inside the house. It is recommended that our citizens head to closed areas. In this sense, we printed brochures. It is delivered to our citizens through our mukhtars." he spoke.

The Mummy with the Golden Tongue

 

The Golden-Tongued Mummy was discovered in the temple of Taposiris Magna, west of Alexandria, in early 2021, by a Doctor searching for the lost tomb of Cleopatra. It was discovered by a team of Egyptian and Dominican archaeologists led by Kathleen Martínez.
The mummy belongs to a woman, and the style of burial and artifacts surrounding the burial of this woman indicate that she was buried during a period when Egyptian and Greco-Roman cultural influences blended, creating a period when traditional Egyptian burial customs were practiced alongside Greek and Roman influences. Therefore, it is thought that he lived during the Ptolemaic - Greco-Roman Period. Archaeologists have not been able to determine his name, status or cause of death due to the poor state of preservation. However, the presence of the golden tongue indicates that he may have been an important person and, at the very least, someone connected with wealth and capable of an elaborate funeral. Considering that the burial ceremony was at the site of a temple of significant religious and political significance, this may mean that the woman was a nun or had a connection with the temple, but it is not yet known and is only an educated guess. Why did he have a golden tongue? In Egyptian religious texts, the gods are described as having golden skin, silver bones and lapis lazuli hair. Many temple reliefs and sculptures depict gods with golden-toned bodies, emphasizing their divine nature. Unlike other metals, gold does not rust and deteriorate over time. The Egyptians saw it as a symbol of the immortality and divine essence of the gods. This belief influenced burial customs. As it is known, the ancient Egyptians believed in preparing the dead for the hereafter. The golden tongue amulet or foil was therefore most likely placed in the mummy's mouth, especially with the gods of the Underworld, especially the god Osiris, the ruler of the Underworld. The golden tongue, therefore, will adorn his speech and allow him to speak with a "golden" and divine confidence in the judgment of his soul, protecting him with a safe passage to the celestial realm known to the Egyptians as the "Reed Field" and allowing him to speak with a "golden" and divine confidence.
