Pashinyan Becomes 1st Armenian PM Since Cold War to Pay State Visit to Turkey
Rana Atef On Friday, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan made history by becoming the country's first leader since the Cold War to pay an official visit to Turkey. Pashinyan's meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul represents the hope of two countries to normalize relations. Turkey halted diplomatic ties with Armenia in 1993, following the crisis of Nagorno-Karabakh. According to a statement from the Turkish presidency, the trip is considered a 'working visit'. Both foreign ministers and special envoys for normalization are also attending, allowing the delegations to discuss every aspect of the bilateral relationship. Earlier this week, Pashinyan talked about the improvement in Turkish-Armenian relations, adding, the two countries can now communicate directly. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Austria to Tighten Gun Laws Following School Shooting in Graz
Israa Farhan The Austrian government has announced plans to strengthen its firearms legislation in response to a deadly school shooting in Graz, the country's second-largest city. Chancellor Karl Nehammer revealed that the new measures will raise the minimum age for purchasing certain types of firearms from 21 to 25. The proposed reforms are part of a broader effort to prevent future tragedies and ensure stricter oversight of gun ownership. Under the new regulations, the mandatory waiting period between the purchase of a firearm and its delivery will be extended from three days to four weeks. This cooling-off period aims to provide authorities more time to conduct necessary background checks and psychological evaluations. The government also intends to place greater emphasis on mental health screening for potential gun buyers. Individuals seeking to acquire firearms will undergo more rigorous psychological assessments, with results shared between the armed forces and the national firearms regulatory authority. The move comes after a recent school shooting shocked the nation and renewed calls for tighter gun control. The reforms are expected to reduce the risk of similar incidents and improve coordination between security institutions. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Austria Approves Targeted Messaging App Surveillance
Israa Farhan Austria is moving forward with plans to monitor encrypted messaging services such as WhatsApp and Telegram as part of a broader strategy to combat terrorism. The government announced that surveillance software could be used starting in 2027 under tightly controlled legal conditions. Interior Minister Gerhard Karner said on Tuesday that the conservative-led coalition government in Vienna had approved the measure, though it must still pass through parliament for final confirmation. Under the proposed legislation, the use of surveillance tools will require prior approval from a special court consisting of three judges, based on concrete evidence of criminal or terrorist activity. Initially, the plan limits the number of approved surveillance cases to 30 annually, and each case will be subject to parliamentary oversight. Karner described the measure as a major step forward in safeguarding national security. He emphasized that the proposal includes strict legal safeguards to ensure privacy rights are respected and that surveillance will only occur in high-risk situations. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
