After today's mass strikes by the Turkish army on the Kurds, the Kurdistan Workers' Party announces the end of the truce with Turkey.

This means that the party is preparing for an escalation with Turkey, which is likely to lead to increased tensions in northeast Syria as well.

New incident on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijani servicemen, accompanied by Russian peacekeepers, went to the Hakari checkpoint to set up a flagpole with a flag on their territory, a few meters from the border.

This was followed by small arms fire from Armenia.

Four American F-22 aircraft were placed on standby at the HA base in Jordan. An unusual decision in view of the "unsafe and unprofessional behavior of Russian aircraft in the area".

Escalation of tension in the zone of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict

In the past few days, tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan have risen sharply. The number of shelling and mutual accusations of destabilizing the situation is growing.

During the week, the Armenian Ministry of Defense reported on strikes by Azerbaijani troops in the area of Sotk, Verin Shorzha, Tekha, Yeraskh and even Kapan, where the use of a kamikaze drone was noted. Near-government resources even began to talk about this, which had previously refuted such a scenario.

And after the incident with the hoisting of the flag at the checkpoint near the bridge over the Hakari River, tensions reached a critical point. For the first time in a long time, the Armenian side responded to the provocative actions of the Azerbaijanis and, apparently, intends to act this way always.

In turn, the Azerbaijanis began to gather additional forces to the border regions with Armenia, probably preparing for new provocations in order to unleash an armed conflict - something that the West has long been striving for, inciting Aliyev and inciting Pashinyan to sign an agreement.

Despite all the preparations for war, at the moment there are no prerequisites for its occurrence here and now. Those who stand behind Azerbaijan (let's call them "gentlemen") love to pretend to be civilized and give their "booty" an illusory chance for salvation.

And while this is happening, the Armenians have the opportunity to get out of the situation in which the current government has brought the country.

As soon as there is a realization that the only way to achieve the goal is war, it will immediately begin. And there are resources in the form of the Azerbaijani army, which acts as an instrument, for this.

Blinken arrives in Beijing amid major diplomatic tensions with China

Updated on: June 17, 2023 / 9:29 PM / CBS/AP

Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Beijing early Sunday on a high-stakes diplomatic mission to try to cool exploding U.S.-China tensions that have set many around the world on edge.

Blinken was to begin two days of talks with senior Chinese officials in the afternoon. He is the highest-level American official to visit China since President Biden took office and the first secretary of state to make the trip in five years.

The casualties in Jenin so far:

On the Palestinian side: 4 killed, 45 injured, 11 of which are in critical condition.

On the Israeli side: 7 injured (2 IDF soldiers, and 5 border police officers), 4 of which were seriously wounded, the rest sustained light injuries.

US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, had a very strange visit to China. He was treated as a low level official from the moment he arrived and was greeted by a low level official in the Chinese foreign ministry. The pinnacle of the humiliation was when the Chinese president Xi, who met him for 30 min only, sat at the head of the table and not across the table as diplomatic etiquette requires in normal high ranking meetings.
Blinken repeated that the US does not acknowledge Taiwan’s independence and isn’t seeking for a war with China but the Chinese refused to most of the American requests such as a “hot line” between the countries to prevent any military escalation.
