İstanbul’un tarihi kalbinde, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun asırlar boyunca yönetildiği **Topkapı Sarayı** ve sarayın görkemli ana girişi olan **Babüsselam (Selam Kapısı)**, gün batımının altın ve kızıl tonları altında muazzam bir manzara sunuyor. İki heybetli kule arasında yükselen şanlı bayrağımız, çiçeklerle bezenmiş bakımlı saray bahçeleri ve ortasındaki zarif fıskiye; imparatorluğun o köklü ihtişamını gözler önüne seriyor. Akşam güneşinin tarihi taş surlara ve bahçedeki renklere dokunduğu bu büyüleyici atmosferde bulunmak, insanı tarihin altın sayfalarında masalsı bir yolculuğa çıkarıyor. Bence dünyanın en güzel yeri burası. 🇹🇷 --- 🇬🇧 Standing at the historical heart of Istanbul, **Topkapı Palace** and its majestic monumental entrance, **Babüsselam (The Gate of Salutation)**, present a magnificent view beneath the golden and crimson hues of sunset. The proud national flag fluttering between two imposing towers, manicured palace gardens filled with vibrant flowers, and an elegant stone fountain highlight the deep-rooted grandeur of the Ottoman Empire. Experiencing this enchanting atmosphere as evening sunlight gently touches the historic ramparts offers a deeply inspiring journey through history.

Why does Drogheda, an Irish 🇮🇪 football club have a star and crescent as an emblem? Because it's Ottoman 🇹🇷! Wait, WHAT?! Yes! So, during the Great Famine in Ireland the Ottomans sent financial assistance as well as food to the Irish. In 1847, the Sultan, Abdulmajid I, donated £1,000 (equivalent to approximately £100,000 today) to alleviate the suffering of the Irish people. He had originally offered £10,000 to the British Relief Association but had been advised by British diplomats that the British Royal protocol meant that nobody should contribute more than the Queen. It was suggested that he gave half the sum contributed by Queen Victoria. The Sultan complied with this suggestion. His donation was entrusted to the Ambassador in Istanbul and forwarded to the British Relief Association. Furthermore, the Ottoman Empire sent ships carrying grain and food to the island. The ships departing Istanbul were not allowed to enter the Port of Dublin, and thus had to unload their cargo secretly at the Port of Drogheda, a town 70 km further north of Dublin. In remembrance of the aid and gratefulness, the people of Drogheda put the star and crescent of the Ottoman flag on their town's and football club's emblem.

Protestors in San Sebastian, Spain performed a “die-in” demonstration in a tribute to those who have lost their lives in Gaza on Sunday, March 17. Hundreds of people lay together on the ground to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as Israel’s assault enters its sixth month. Along La Concha beach’s esplanade in the Spanish city, many people held anti-war banners and Palestinian flags, with a huge painting inspired by world-renowned artist Pablo Picasso’s anti-war artwork “Guernica.” Named after another Spanish city, Guernica, the painting is a response to the 1937 bombing of the town during WWII. Guernica is the site of the first large-scale military air assault against civilians in history, causing widespread destruction. Artists and activists from the Gernika-Palestina collective, which organized the gathering, drew a parallel between the situation in Gaza and the historic tragedy in Guernica. #spain #sansebastian #antiwar #protest #Picasso #guernica
