Baghaei accused Iran’s adversaries of attacking the country twice in less than 9 months while negotiations were underway, assassinating Iranian leaders and intensifying sanctions. He also blamed those attacks for growing regional instability and global economic insecurity. “You cannot launch a war of choice, set the region ablaze, unleash global chaos, and then play the victim.” Source: @IRIMFA_SPOX / Writer: Samuel

Brijendra Singh Exclusive: Congress Leader Targets Modi Govt, Opens Up On India-US Trade Deal & More



Congress leader Brijendra Singh On Puri-Epstein meeting photos said, “We are the only country which has taken no action against those who were involved in Epstein files. Govt has been stone-walling everything. These photos are one in a series which will be coming. It can’t be suppressed for long. This is what happens when you do diplomatic dealings with private entities. I’m sure that there are many more coming. Puri should have been asked to resign when the first came out. But he is still working, so I think they are all hand-in-gloves.” The Congress leaders opened up on US-India trade deal, Trump’s statements, Modi govt & more.

В Петербурге завершилась встреча президента России Владимира Путина и посланника президента США Стивена Уиткоффа. Как сообщил пресс-секретарь Кремля Дмитрий Песков, она продолжалась около трёх часов. По словам помощника российского президента Юрия Ушакова, Путин в разговоре с Уиткоффом выразил готовность – в принципе – возобновить трехсторонние переговоры с Украиной и США по вопросу о прекращении войны “в 10-х числах ноября”. Подобных переговоров не велось с начала года. По словам Ушакова, дискуссия должна касаться “выстраивания системы безопасности для России и Украины”. https://smarturl.click/4y9e5d

Brussels rally: ‘We want to know the truth about the fate of missing Azerbaijanis’


Families of people who went missing during the First Karabakh War held a peaceful rally at Schuman Square in Brussels, home to key EU institutions, including the European Commission, the Council of the EU and the European External Action Service.

According to Report‘s European bureau, the rally was organized by the public association “Families of Missing Persons in Karabakh” (Qarabağ İtkin Ailələri).

The participants, whose loved ones have been missing for more than 30 years, sought to draw the international community’s attention to the fate of their family members.

Amid solemn music and the ringing of bells, a statement was read out on behalf of one of the more than 4,000 missing people: “I am not a number. I have a name. I am someone’s son or daughter. Do not let me remain forgotten.”

An elderly man cycling past stopped to ask, “Which country are you from, and what is happening here?” After participants explained the purpose of the rally, he expressed surprise: “Nobody ever talks about Azerbaijan. I’ve never heard about it!”

The organizers also presented an installation featuring photographs of missing persons and symbolic letters written in their names. Clothes fluttering in the wind symbolized the belongings left behind by those who went missing.

The installation deeply moved two Belgian friends, Griet and Marie. After learning that the clothes were symbolic, they expressed their sympathy to the participants. “After all these years, do you still have hope?” Griet asked.

“We want to know the truth about their fate,” replied the wife of one of the missing persons.

Despite progress in the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia, the fate of people who went missing in the early 1990s remains unresolved. The list of missing persons still includes 4,010 people, among them 71 children, 288 women and 398 elderly people.
