Turkey’s space program is gaining momentum as Ankara aims to establish itself as a major player in the global aerospace industry, per The Media Line.

The country's ambitious plans include launching its own satellites and developing lunar exploration capabilities, which could significantly enhance its geopolitical influence in the region, The Media Line reports.

Meanwhile, tensions with Azerbaijan have emerged ahead of a major Turkic summit, as Baku’s president absent from the event fuels speculation over strained relations, Haaretz notes.
