Quick Glance: Western States Utilize Turkey as Intermediary for De-escalation Messages to Iran: Diplomat

Quick Glance: Controversy Surrounding AKP Politicians for Luxury Watches and Social Media
- AKP's Parliamentary Group Deputy Chair Bahadır Yenişehirlioğlu caused a stir by sharing a photo on social media where he wore a Rolex watch worth half a million Turkish liras while interacting with visitors in parliament.
- The Rolex watch worn by AKP lawmaker Yenişehirlioğlu is part of the 'Rolex Submariner Date' and 'Rolex GMT-Master' models, priced between 16,200 (562,000 liras) and 16,800 euros.
- An employee earning the minimum wage of 17,002 Turkish liras would need to work for almost three years to afford the watch worth 562,000 liras.
- After numerous negative comments were posted under the lawmaker's photo, Yenişehirlioğlu removed the post from his account.
