Serious riots against Syrian refugees in Türkiye
Since the start of the Syrian civil war, Turkey has taken in more than three million refugees. Now there are serious riots against Syrians in Turkish cities – and anti-Turkish protests in Syria.
Carnage-like conditions prevailed Sunday evening in Kayseri, a conservative city of millions in central Anatolia. “We don’t want any more Syrians, we don’t want any more refugees,” protesters chanted. And it’s not just words: Many Syrian-owned shops, homes and cars were vandalized with rocks and clubs and, in at least one case, set on fire.
Although Kayseri is a stronghold of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party, the rioters are demanding Erdogan’s resignation. They hold him responsible for the large number of refugees in the country. They accuse the refugees of being the cause of the tense economic situation with rising prices and lack of living space.
Nearly 500 people were arrested.
The protests spread to several other cities on Monday, from Gaziantep on the Syrian border to the western city of Bursa. Police responded with water cannons and tear gas. The next day, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said the number of rioters detained was about 500, many with criminal records.
There have been frequent riots against refugees in Turkey. Ahead of parliamentary and presidential elections last year, the umbrella organization of Syrian associations in Turkey complained of increased violence during the election campaign. Spokesman Mehmet Akter said at the time: ARD Studio Istanbul:
Yes, we see it very clearly. Unfortunately, it was the same in 2019. Before the local elections at that time, the Syrians were the issue of the election campaign. They were accused of all sorts of things, including in the media. After the elections in 2020 and 2021, we had no problems. All the discussions ended in no time.
A Syrian man is said to have harassed a girl.
There are no elections this time. The reason the mob is still roaming the streets is a message that has spread on social media: A Syrian man is said to have sexually harassed a seven-year-old Syrian girl. The man has since been arrested.
But the violence did not end there. Instead, the tide has shifted: As a result of the riots in Turkey, there are now anti-Turkish protests in northern Syria. “Come on guys, come on, smash the cars!” In an online video that has been viewed nearly five million times in a short period of time, men attack Turkish trucks with paving stones, clubs and iron bars at the al-Bab border crossing. Windows are broken. “Come on, get out! Come on, go back to Turkey!” the men shout.
Speculation about meetings between Erdogan and Assad
In the eyes of the Turkish opposition, the background to the tensions is not the incident in Kayseri, or not only. There is speculation about a possible meeting between Turkish President Erdogan and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Both have been hostile to each other since the outbreak of the Syrian war.
The potential rapprochement worries Syrian refugees in Turkey, on the one hand, because they fear returning to Syria, and, on the other hand, pro-Turkish rebels in Syria, because they fear for their protection from Erdogan.
A Turkish truck caught fire at the Al-Bab border crossing.
Such a meeting could be arranged as early as this week by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Assad’s most important ally. Erdogan is expected to meet Putin on the sidelines of a Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit that begins Wednesday in Kazakhstan.

Russia has recently increased the pace of its attacks around Pokrovsk. But Ukraine always manages to repel the enemy. Effective military equipment plays a role in this.
KYIV/MOSCOW – Since May, Vladimir Putin has wanted to make further advances in the area around Kharkiv with a new major offensive. Now, almost two months later, Putin’s offensive on Kharkiv has not been very successful. This is evident, on the one hand, from the relatively high Russian losses in Kharkiv, and on the other hand, from the resilience of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front. Nico Lang, a military analyst at the Munich Security Conference, summarized the following: ZDF This is one of the reasons why recently: „The attack has already failed.”
Events on the front are currently focused on fighting not far from the city of Pokrovsk, about 70 kilometers west of the city of Donetsk. in occupied by Russia The region of the same name. Russia has intensified its attacks there in recent days and has tried to break through Ukrainian defense lines. Putin’s forces around Pokrovsk are now mainly using infantry attacks supported by drones, Ukrainian soldiers from the 47th Mechanized Brigade said. But Ukraine appears to have found an effective remedy against the growing number of Russian attacks in the Donetsk region.
Ukraine forces Russian victims to the front: Vampire rocket launcher helps in resistance
Spokesperson for the Brigade Anastasia Pleschik He said German News Agency The German news agency dpa reported on Ukrainian television that there are currently no Russian armored vehicles to be seen around Prokhovsk because the Russians have run out of them. The heavy Russian material losses can be seen, for example, in the images taken by reconnaissance drones. But how did Ukraine manage to repel enemy attacks so successfully, despite the superiority of Russian forces?
The decisive factor in the resilience of the Ukrainian Armed Forces appears to be the weapon of enormous destructive power that Ukraine uses on the front: the RM-70 Vampire multiple rocket launcher. It has 40 silos and can fire up to 40 122mm fragmentation rockets per minute.
The Vampire has a firing range of 20 kilometers and the launcher can be reloaded in about two minutes. An unknown number of Vampire launchers were supplied to Ukrainian forces in early 2023. Through the Czech Republic.
Ukrainian artillery commander: “They will pay in blood for every meter of Ukrainian territory”
In order to circumvent the effective strikes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces using the Vampire multiple rocket launcher, Russian troops are currently trying to attack several different fronts on the Donetsk front in order to expand the front. The seriousness of the fighting around Pokrovsk is also evident from the statements of the participating soldiers.
Reverse TV N “They (Russian troops, editor’s note) will pay with blood for every meter of Ukrainian territory. It may be a small amount of blood or a large amount of blood, but they will have to pay the price,” an artillery commander explained, stressing that “one will not give up one’s land for nothing.”
Every advance by Putin’s armed forces in Ukraine will cost Russia new losses. In addition to the heavy material losses that Putin has recently suffered in Donetsk, the number of soldiers killed or wounded also appears to be high at the moment. How TV N Ukrainian artillerymen firing rockets in the Donetsk region are reportedly, by their own estimates, managing to injure or even kill between 50 and 150 Russian soldiers a day. However, this information cannot be independently verified.
Russia has recently increased its attacks in the Donetsk region, forcing the Ukrainians to move quickly.
To defend the front line, the Ukrainian armed forces not only have to be particularly careful in the currently contested areas around Pokrovsk, but they also have to be fast. And since Russian forces there have recently increased the number of their attacks – mainly using drones – the Ukrainians can no longer stay in one place for long.
“We work quickly because we want to live. It is a necessity for life,” said a Ukrainian rocket launcher pilot. N TV Because once the Ukrainians were spotted by enemy drones while operating the Vampire rocket launcher, they were at great risk. “The boys fired all their ammunition when they were spotted by an enemy drone,” the commander of the rocket launcher opposite added. TV N He added. (And)

Ukraine is intensifying its attacks on Russian-occupied Crimea, where tourists continue their vacations. Now Russia wants to better secure the beaches.
SEVASTOPOL – After several Ukrainian ATACMS attacks on the Russian-occupied peninsula Crimea The military is trying to better protect the coast from possible attacks by the Ukrainian army. Members of the pro-Ukrainian Atysh partisan group talk about the efforts of the Russian military to strengthen the defense lines in Crimea.
“While the occupation authorities are trying to convince the population that there is no threat of a Ukrainian army landing, the number of defensive positions along the coast is growing day by day,” the group said in a statement. The movement also claims that Russia is entrusting local civilian companies in Yevpatoria and Yalta with expanding firing and defensive positions.
Heavy losses for Putin’s Black Sea fleet: withdrawal to Russian ports
There are rumors that the Ukrainian military is planning an attack on Crimea in the fall. Ukrainian Pravda It was mentioned. At the beginning of the Ukraine war, Russia also deployed its Black Sea Fleet to the peninsula. However, after heavy losses, Vladimir Putin’s fleet was forced to retreat there. Most of the ships were transferred to Russian ports east of Crimea, such as Novorossiysk.
But here too The ships were repeatedly attacked by the Ukrainian military. To the victim. The problem for the Russians: there is not enough space in the Novorossiysk port for the ships of the Black Sea Fleet. The port in Sevastopol in Crimea is much larger, Ukrainian Vice Admiral Oleksiy Nezbaba said in an interview with Reuters The missiles were also stored from warships and loaded into the largest port city in Crimea.
“The enemy has withdrawn almost all important combat-capable ships from the main base of the Black Sea Fleet, the ships are being transferred to Novorossiysk and some to the Sea of Azov,” the vice admiral said. Reuters He says. In total, Ukraine has damaged and destroyed 27 naval vessels, with at least five of them disabled by Ukrainian Navy drones directly in the port of Sevastopol.
Crimea as a holiday destination in Russia – even during the Ukraine war
Perhaps surprisingly, despite the war in Ukraine, Crimea has been and remains a popular holiday destination for many Russians. The quiet beaches directly on the Black Sea and the beautiful weather have attracted many vacationers to the territory that Russia annexed in violation of international law in 2014. But Ukraine’s increasing attacks on military targets with American ATACMS missiles are scaring off more and more vacationers.
Russian Travel Industry Association, such as Newsweek It has seen a 25-30 percent drop in bookings since Ukrainian air defenses intercepted Ukrainian missiles in Crimea on June 23. Much of the missile debris fell on holiday beaches in the Sevastopol region — and some people died. The Russians’ increased defensive positions are likely to dampen the holiday spirit on Crimean beaches. (sir)

Biden Can’t Allay Doubts About His Suitability as a Candidate in TV Interview
After the interview, the general sentiment seems to be that Biden was unable to justify his loss in the televised duel against Trump. nbc news He sees Biden’s statements as a mixture of denial, defiance and contempt for critics.

’The Episode’ or 'The Case’ – Brain Expert Calls for Clarification of Biden’s Abilities After TV Duel
Former House Speaker and Biden’s party colleague, Nancy Pelosi, admitted after the televised duel that it was “legitimate” to ask questions about Biden’s condition.

However, she expressed suspicion that Trump might be suffering from dementia.
