President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan visited the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) for the Peace and Freedom Day and to inaugurate the New Ercan Airport. Arriving from his Gulf tour, he was welcomed in an official ceremony by TRNC President Ersin Tatar. Erdoğan, the first leader to land at the new airport, is also set to attend a bilateral meeting with President Tatar, lay a wreath at the Atatürk Monument, and join the Peace and Freedom Day ceremonies. His delegation includes top officials from the Turkish government and the People’s Alliance.
Andriy Portnov, former aide to ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, was shot dead in Madrid’s upscale Pozuelo de Alarcon district. Spanish authorities say unidentified gunmen opened fire as the 52-year-old was dropping off his children at school, striking him in the back and head before fleeing.
Portnov, a former MP and lawyer, fled Ukraine with Yanukovych in 2014, briefly returned in 2019, and was later sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged judicial corruption.
