Turkish Cargo, kültür mirasımızı korumak ve Anadolu’nun tarihi eserlerini ait oldukları topraklara geri getirmek için önemli bir rol oynuyor

Turhan Özen, Türk Hava Yolları’ndaki (Turkish Airlines) Başkan Yardımcısı ve çok sayıda kuruluşun Yönetim Kurulu Üyesi olarak görev yapmaktadır.

“Turkish Cargo ile birlikte, Anadolu’nun bir tarihi eseri daha, T.C. Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı’nın değerli iş birliği ve katkılarıyla Zeugma kökenli Stel, ait olduğu topraklara döndürülmüştür. Bu önemli eser, yine Türk Hava Yolları’nın katkılarıyla doğru yere ulaştırılmıştır.”

Bu harika bir haber. Turkish Cargo, kültür mirasımızı korumak ve Anadolu’nun tarihi eserlerini ait oldukları topraklara geri getirmek için önemli bir rol oynuyor. Zeugma kökenli Stel, Gaziantep’teki Zeugma Mozaik Müzesi’nde sergilenecek. Bu eser, Roma dönemine ait bir mezar taşıdır. Üzerinde Yunanca bir yazıt ve bir kadın figürü bulunmaktadır. Stel, 2011 yılında İsviçre’de ele geçirilmiş ve Türkiye’ye iadesi için uzun süren bir hukuki süreç başlatılmıştı. Bu sürecin sonunda, Stel’in Türkiye’ye geri verilmesine karar verilmiş ve Turkish Cargo ile Gaziantep’e taşınmıştır.

Turkish Cargo’nun bu başarılı operasyonunu kutluyorum. Kültür mirasımızın korunması ve tanıtılması için yaptığınız katkılardan dolayı teşekkür ederim.

If watching dozens, if not hundreds, of videos about plane crashes have taught me anything, it’s that flying isn’t dangerous, it’s capitalism that’s dangerous

In Istanbul, a flotilla of ships is preparing to depart with 5,500 tonnes of aid and around 1,000 medics, lawyers, senior politicians and human rights observers. Its destination: the Gaza Strip. On Sunday, the Gaza Freedom Flotilla will begin making its way to the besieged strip, its fifth voyage in 14 years. While the journey would normally take three to four days, it is expected that the flotilla – initially comprising three vessels, one cargo and two passenger ships, with further vessels expected to join later – could be waylaid by Israeli forces. 

[...]

The flotilla is organised by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), which brings together 12 national groups from Canada, Malaysia, Italy, Norway, the US, Sweden, Spain, Turkey, South Africa, New Zealand, the UK and France. Altogether, delegates from over 30 countries will be represented on board. The flotilla’s crew and passengers – among them Che Guevara’s daughter Aleida and Nelson Mandela’s grandson Zwelivelile – will be unarmed. Their peacefulness will not guarantee their safety, however, as the Israeli state has a long and bloody history of targeting humanitarian groups. The flotilla’s first voyage to Gaza in May 2010 was a bloodbath: Israel sent a naval ship to meet it, killing 10 crew members (all of them Turkish, including one Turkish American dual national) and injuring 30. A UN report later found that Israel appeared to have executed at least six people in an “extra-legal, arbitrary and summary” manner; a Turkish state autopsy found that five had been shot in the head at close range.  Israel subsequently apologised to Turkey for the raid and agreed to compensate the bereaved families $20m. Further voyages in 2015, 2016 and 2018 saw Israel seize the FFC’s ships and detain and deport those on board. Israel has also targeted humanitarian workers on land. Earlier this month, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) food aid workers, among them three British citizens, in a drone attack on a marked convoy whose movements had been coordinated with the IDF. An Israeli investigation blamed “grave errors”, a finding WCK rejected.

Oldest deep sea shipwreck ever discovered found off the coast of Israel.

Gong to quote the full article:

"Cargo from the remains of the oldest shipwreck to be found win the deep sea has been discovered n the eastern Mediterranean, Israeli archaeologists have sad.

Hundreds of intact amphorae - ancient storage jars - believed to be 3,300 years old were discovered 90km (56 miles) off the northern coast of Israel at a depth of 1,800m (5,905ft) on the sea bed.

Experts at the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) say the discovery suggest sailors of the period were able to navigate the oceans by using celestial navigation - taking bearings from the sun and stars.

The wreck was found during a routine oil and gas survey.

According to the IAA, the shipwreck is the "first and oldest" to be found in the region and probably sank during a storm or as a result of a pirate attack.

This find reveals to us as never before the ancient mariners' navigational skills," Jacob Sharvit, head of the IAA's marine unit.

He added it showed our ancestors were capable of traversing the Mediterranean Sea "without a line of sight to any coast".

"From this geographical point, only the horizon its visible all around. To navigate they probably used the celestial bodies, by taking sightings and angles of the sun and star positions."

The cargo was spotted by robot submersibles belonging to the oil and gas firm Energean which was looking for potential new energy sources off the Israeli coast.

Cameras picked up "what seemed to be a large pile of jugs heaped on the seafloor", according to the company's Karnit Bahartan.

Only two of the amphorae - believed to have been used by the Canaanite people who lived in an area stretching from modern-day Turkey to Egypt - were removed using specially designed tools, so as not to disturb the remaining artefacts.

Dr Bahartan described there discovery as a "truly sensational find".

She said that only two other shipwrecks with cargo are known from the late Bronze Age in the Mediterranean Sea, both of which were found relatively close to the Turkish coast using normal diving equipment.

"Based on these two finds, the academic assumption until now was that trade in that time was executed by safely flitting from port to port, hugging the coastline within eye contact," Dr Bahartan said.

"The discover of this boat now changes our entire understanding of ancient mariner abilities.

"It is the very first to be found at such a great distance with no line of sight to any landmass," she said.

The jars are expected to go on display this summer at the National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel in Jerusalem."

Ahsoka Episode 8 “The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord”: The Story, the Symbolism, and the Score Part One

As the episode begins, we hear sinister drumming, then a low rumbling as the cargo transfer to the Chimaera is completed. Thrawn orders the dispatch of two TIE fighters. Sinister music plays as Morgan receives the “gift of shadows.” As she makes her pledge to the sisterhood and the old ways, Morgan’s Theme (the Nightsister Theme) is heard. Morgan’s eyes glow green and then turn black as power is transferred to her by the Nightmothers. Morgan receives the Blade of Talzin, a reference to the sword used by Mother Talzin in The Clone Wars animated series.

Thrawn’s Theme plays triumphantly as the Ahsoka title card and the episode title appear onscreen: “The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord.” This title is an obvious reference to C. S. Lewis’ novel The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and it isn’t the first reference to Lewis’ Narnia books in the Filoniverse. The World Between Worlds itself was inspired by Lewis’ “wood between the worlds” which allows passage across time and space to other worlds.

The title of the episode does have a deeper meaning, but this may not be apparent until one has watched and fully understood what the episode is really about. The “Jedi” in the title is Ahsoka, who corresponds to Lewis’ Aslan, the magnificent golden lion who is the Christ-figure in the Narnia books, not unlike Tolkien’s Gandalf. The “Witch” in the title is Morgan Elsbeth and all of the evil that she and the White Witch of Narnia represent. The “Warlord” is Thrawn, who will travel between the galaxies just as the magic wardrobe in the Narnia books allowed passage between the worlds. Lewis’ novel is about many things, but at its core, it is a story about redemption. In the novel, young Edmund Pevensie, in his selfish desire for Turkish Delight, makes an a dangerous alliance with the White Witch and betrays his siblings to get what he wants. He later regrets this betrayal and repents of his selfishness. However Edmund’s debt must be paid. Instead of dying a traitor’s death, Aslan is sacrificed in Edmund’s place. The White Witch slays the Lion, but due to the Deep Magic from before the dawn of time, Aslan resurrects triumphantly and defeats the Witch.

Sabine Wren, whose all-to-human desire to be reunited with Ezra Bridger, led her to make an alliance with Baylan Skoll in episode 4 of the Ahsoka series. Sabine didn’t destroy the star-map because of her selfish desire to see Ezra again, and by making this choice, she set in motion the return of Thrawn and the possibility of another galactic war. By making this selfish but understandable choice, Sabine failed as a Jedi. As in Edmund’s story, Sabine is on a journey towards redemption for what she’s done.

The next scene is of Ahsoka’s ship hovering low above the traveling Noti pods. Onboard the ship Huyang and Ezra bicker as Ezra constructs a new lightsaber for himself.

“Who taught you how to build a lightsaber anyway?” Huyang asks.

“Kanan Jarrus,” replies Sabine Wren from the doorway of the workshop. She smiles at Ezra.

“He was my master,” Ezra says, his glance lingering upon Sabine for a moment. “He taught me everything I know.”

Quiet music accompanies this conversation. When Huyang says that the relationship between master and apprentice is as challenging as it is meaningful, the camera pulls in closer to reveal Sabine’s expression, which shows sadness and even remorse.

A quiet rendition of Sabine’s Theme is heard as Ezra completes the construction of his new lightsaber. When Ezra asks “Hey Sabine, Ahsoka ever teach you how to…?” he turns to looks at her and sees that she is gone.

Ezra asks Huyang what happened between Sabine and Ahsoka. Huyang tells Ezra about the Purge of Mandalore, and that Ahsoka felt that if Sabine unlocked her potential at that time she would become dangerous.

Sabine exits the ship to talk with Ahsoka who is sitting atop the shuttle as it hovers. Soft strings accompany the conversation. Ahsoka’s Theme is heard, which is then followed by Sabine’s Theme played by cellos. Ahsoka knows what Sabine did but says that she will be there for her no matter what happens next. They discuss whether Sabine has kept up with her training.

“Being a Jedi isn’t about wielding a lightsaber,” Ahsoka explains. “Train your mind. Train your body. Trust in the Force.”

Ezra exits the ship, announcing that he just finished building his new lightsaber.

The music is much louder as two TIE fighters open fire upon them and the Noti caravan. Ahsoka’s ship takes a hit. Ahsoka and Ezra levitate it to save the Noti from being crushed. Sabine and Huyang attempt to pilot the damaged ship. On Sabine’s signal, Ezra and Ahsoka hurl the ship towards the two TIEs and the wings of the T-6 shuttle clip them, destroying both of their attackers. Ezra and Ahsoka run to the site of the crashed T-6.

“Got ‘em” Sabine says to them after exiting the smoking shuttle. She surveys the damage to the Noti pods. Ezra remarks that this will slow them down a bit, but Ahsoka responds “only if we let it.”

End of part one. To be continued! Let me know what you think of this analysis so far. It’s going to be a long one.

Nova’s Notes - Dracula Daily - July 18

We’re out of the Droughtula! And onto the voyage of the Demeter….

“If Mr. Stoker has a problem with this he is cordially invited to rise from his mouldering grave and take it up with me personally.”

Truly, an iconic editor’s note! Matt is not playing around and, selfishly, I would love to actually see this showdown occur.

“Written 18 July, things so strange happening, that I shall keep accurate note henceforth till we land.”

Basically the Captain:

For real though, you know what this reminds me of? Jonathan Harker on his first day he noticed strange things occurring at the castle. Here’s what he said then:

“I began to fear as I wrote in this book that I was getting too diffuse; but now I am glad that I went into detail from the first, for there is something so strange about this place and all in it that I cannot but feel uneasy…”

Thanks to wanting to record his trip for Mina, he had already started taking detailed notes for the trip. These notes served him well in his time at castle Dracula.

Unfortunately, the captain of the Demeter was not taking detailed logs beforehand, but it’s telling that he begins to as soon as he notices something strange! Just a neat parallel I thought I would point out.

“On 6 July we finished taking in cargo, silver sand and boxes of earth. At noon set sail. East wind, fresh. Crew, five hands ... two mates, cook, and myself (captain).”

To note here, it has been twelve days since they set sail and it has taken twelve days to reach the point of someone logging the incidents. I suppose that’s a record above Dracula’s previous time with Jonathan, which was *three* days (really, more like two).

Also, sorry to put the answer to your post in here, @mermaid-above-water, but I figured it would be best! To answer your question of how many crew hands are on the Demeter….I’ll be real with you, I was going to take the captain’s number of “5” at face value, but @dramaticpandabear summed it up best with evidence: it’s 9. I’m going to be using their post as reference for the future when I make my notes You can get this number by adding 5 (hands) + 2 (mates) + 1 (cook) + 1 (captain). I definitely understand the confusion — like I said, I was confused too! No wonder the captain says he needs to take more accurate notes…

“On 11 July at dawn entered Bosphorus. Boarded by Turkish Customs officers. Backsheesh. All correct. Under way at 4 p. m.”

Everything seems fine here! Only thing to note is that I believe when he refers to “backsheesh”, he means the practice of bribing customs officers, sooo that’s fun. /s

“On 12 July through Dardanelles. More Customs officers and flagboat of guarding squadron. Backsheesh again. Work of officers thorough, but quick. Want us off soon. At dark passed into Archipelago.”

So it looks like this time they got less of a warm welcome, with more customs officers investigating their cargo. More backsheesh, and they had to leave the port much more quickly. Notice how they’re not finding anything strange in their cargo, say a “human”….hm….

“On 13 July passed Cape Matapan. Crew dissatisfied about something. Seemed scared, but would not speak out.”

At this point, they’ve just passed Greece. That’s not very far into their journey! Yet already, something strange is afoot — the crew seem scared. But about what? If I had to guess, Dracula is starting to give them strange dreams and because sailors are usually inclined to believe in the supernatural/superstition, they probably see it as a bad omen (especially if more than one of them had a bad dream). They probably don’t want to tell the captain though, either due to him not seeming to believe in the supernatural or not wanting to worry him (or because of one of the mates, who is a skeptic).

“On 14 July was somewhat anxious about crew. Men all steady fellows, who sailed with me before. Mate could not make out what was wrong; they only told him there was something, and crossed themselves. Mate lost temper with one of them that day and struck him. Expected fierce quarrel, but all was quiet.”

Yikes, I already don’t like this mate. He comes across like a massive jerk. The rest of the crew reminds me a lot of the villagers of Transylvania — steady, but scared. Crossing themselves and refusing to speak further on the matter….very much like the innkeeper and his wife when asked about Dracula. Perhaps they’ve seen other signs of his presence at this point as well (a mist appearance, perhaps?). It’s telling that the crew remains uncharacteristically quiet, rather than starting a fight after the mate hits one of them: this tells me they’re trying not to attract attention. But from what?

“On 16 July mate reported in the morning that one of crew, Petrofsky, was missing. Could not account for it. Took larboard watch eight bells last night; was relieved by Abramoff, but did not go to bunk. Men more downcast than ever. All said they expected something of the kind, but would not say more than there was somethingaboard. Mate getting very impatient with them; feared some trouble ahead.”

The first very strange thing has happened: a crew member — Petrofsky — has gone missing. That leaves them with 4 hands now, down to eight on the ship total. This is obviously affecting the captain negatively as he did not rest even after a watch. As for the “larboard watch eight bells” phrase, larboard was an archaic word for port (the left side of a ship), so he must have been assigned to watch that side, and as for eight bells, eight bells is the common signal on board a ship that a watch has ended.

We are also given a new name of one of the crew members: Abramoff. I’m going to imagine he’s one of the four remaining hands (it seems it was common practice to not have the cook stand watch at night, so I don’t think it’s the cook), since the captain keeps referring to his mates as just “mates”, though this could be proven wrong with time.

Again, the crew is much like the Transylvanian villagers: scared, yet resigned. They know already something like this was going to happen. However, one of the mates seems to be getting more and more impatient with them…

“On 17 July, yesterday, one of the men, Olgaren, came to my cabin, and in an awestruck way confided to me that he thought there was a strange man aboard the ship. He said that in his watch he had been sheltering behind the deck-house, as there was a rain-storm, when he saw a tall, thin man, who was not like any of the crew, come up the companion-way, and go along the deck forward, and disappear. He followed cautiously, but when he got to bows found no one, and the hatchways were all closed. He was in a panic of superstitious fear, and I am afraid the panic may spread. To allay it, I shall to-day search entire ship carefully from stem to stern.”

We get the name of another crew member: Olgaren. If he is another hand (and I feel like the captain would’ve specified if he wasn’t) we now know 3/5 names of the crew hands. We also get more information on a new mysterious incident — this time they have actually spotted a strange man aboard the ship, though he turned to mist (what I think happened) before Olgaren could find him). Finally, the captain has decided to take some action to allay the crew’s fears. Good!!

“Later in the day I got together the whole crew, and told them, as they evidently thought there was some one in the ship, we would search from stem to stern. First mate angry; said it was folly, and to yield to such foolish ideas would demoralise the men; said he would engage to keep them out of trouble with a handspike. I let him take the helm, while the rest began thorough search, all keeping abreast, with lanterns: we left no corner unsearched. As there were only the big wooden boxes, there were no odd corners where a man could hide. Men much relieved when search over, and went back to work cheerfully. First mate scowled, but said nothing.”

I like the captain’s delegation with giving the first mate the helm here. No use making the man search when he was obviously going to be complaining and degrading their worries the whole time. We also get it specified that this was the first mate: I choose to believe it was the first mate who’s been complaining this whole time and the captain just wasn’t taking accurate notes about it, though I could be proven wrong.

As for the boxes having nothing to hide….oh boy. That’s funny. Not in a haha way. But it is funny. Because they truly have no idea what lies in one of those boxes, but alas, the creature who resides in there is currently mist (if I’m not mistaken) and they cannot see the truth.

Of course, they don’t find anything and go cheerfully back to work. Good for morale, not good for the long-term.

That’s it for this Demeter’s log. Can’t wait for the next one!

Channels identified with the Shia axis:

The Turkish cargo ship Hatay left Turkey for Alexandria, Egypt, turned off its signal and later appeared docked in the port of Haifa.

According to these channels, there is a gap between Erdogan's announcements about the stopping of exporting of goods to Israel and what is actually happening...

Does this mean that the Turkish ship has now entered the "blacklist" of the Houthis? And that of Hezbollah, following Nasrallah's threats in his last speech?

My Official Worst Plane List

The only good thing about being a born again plane autistic is that I am now able to gossip about which planes suck the most.

The Comet 1

My least-least favourite of the worst, the de Havilland Comet 1, the first ever jet airliner, first flown all the way back in 1949. Say goodbye to noisy, jerky, uncomfortable piston propellor planes and say hello to falling out of the fucking sky because the Comet was involved in 3 fatal crashes within its first year of operation.

Two of those three crashes were attributed to breakup due to structural failure- see, jets are more efficient at higher altitudes and thus need pressurized fuselages to keep you from suffocating. But it puts a big load on the aircraft's skin to pressurize and then unpressurize it, and it turns out that the engineers at de Havilland just straight up didn't make the plane strong enough. Whoops.

The Concorde

I know this is gonna be controversial in the Plane Fandom but fuck Concorde. Awful plane. It was the first ever, and notably only ever, supersonic passenger plane, introduced in 1969. It was loud, could barely fly any routes due to noise pollution, and its economics were terrible- because it guzzled fuel so badly, tickets were unhinged levels of expensive. And it broke down so frequently that operators had to have a second Concorde on standby in case the first one broke.

The beginning of the end for Concorde came during a takeoff from Charles de Gaulle in 2000, when a piece of debris pierced the tire of a Concorde and led to a fuel tank rupture, massive fire, loss of control, and crash into a hotel. The planes were briefly grounded, and within only a few years, retired. Good riddance. I don't wanna see that thing's stupid nose ever again.

The DC-10

Not as ugly (or groundbreaking) as the previous two, my least favourite plane comes from one of the worst aircraft manufacturers of all time, McDonnel Douglas (who, coincidentally, merged with Boeing. Shocker!). The DC-10 is honestly pretty cool looking and had a long and successful run, but its legacy is tarnished by the series of accidents caused by a poorly designed rear cargo door.

When this door wasn't properly closed, it could fly open during flight, and insufficient ventilation between the cargo compartment and cabin meant that the floor would collapse. Both McDonnell Douglas and the FAA were made aware of this fact, but in order to stop a costly grounding, they agreed not to issue any airworthiness directives that would mandate immediate changes to the whole fleet worldwide. They basically stuck a bandaid on an open cargo door.

As a result of this lack of action, and MD's aggressive marketing of the DC-10 to Turkish Airlines before revoking all maintenance help and leaving the inexperienced airline struggling, a Turkish DC-10 crashed and 346 people died. It was the second-worst single airplane accident in history, only after Japan Airlines 123, which literally lost the entire tail in flight.

But on a more positive note, some DC-10s have been converted to air tankers and put out forest fires, which looks sick as fuck:

Words borrowed from other languages in English

Very incomplete list, based mostly on The Languages of the World (3rd ed.), Kenneth Katzner, 2002 + a heavy use of Wiktionary. some notes:

Many of these words have passed through multiple languages on their way to English (e.g. Persian -> Arabic -> Spanish -> French -> English); in that case I usually list them under the first language that used them in the same acception as English.

I generally don't include words whose ancestors already existed in Middle English, unless their origin was exotic enough to be interesting.

The vast majority of borrowings are terms very specific to their culture of origin; I generally only include those that are either very well known amng English-speakers, or of general use outside that culture.

Turkish Cargo, Küresel Hava Kargo Taşıyıcıları Arasında 3’üncü Sıraya Yükseldi

Turkish Cargo, Küresel Hava Kargo Taşıyıcıları Arasında 3’üncü Sıraya Yükseldi

Türk Hava Yolları’nın hava kargo markası Turkish Cargo; Mayıs ayında başarılı bir performans sergileyerek dünyanın önde gelen hava kargo taşıyıcıları arasında 3. sırada yer aldı.

Uluslararası Hava Taşımacılığı Birliği IATA’nın (International Air Transport Association) yayınladığı aylık verilere göre geçtiğimiz yılın aynı döneminde 5’inci sırada yer alan başarılı marka; 2023 yılının mayıs ayında Amerika, Avrupa ve Uzak Doğu’nun en büyük markalarını geride bırakarak ilk 3 hava kargo taşıyıcısından biri oldu.

Hava yoluyla taşınan kargo tonajının kat edilen kilometreye çarpımıyla elde edilen FTK (Freight Tonne Kilometres) verilerine göre Turkish Cargo, kilometrelendirilmiş taşınan kargo tonajını bir önceki aya göre %17 oranında artırarak pazar payını %4,7’den %5,4 seviyesine çıkardı.

Turkish Cargo’nun başarısıyla ilgili Türk Hava Yolları Yönetim Kurulu ve İcra Komitesi Başkanı Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat; “Turkish Cargo olarak sürekli büyüme ve gelişme hedefimiz doğrultusunda sektördeki öncü konumumuzu güçlendirmeye devam ediyoruz. Elde ettiğimiz bu başarıları gelecek hedeflerimizin bir taahhüdü olarak görüyoruz ve hava kargo sektörüne değer katmak için daha sıkı çalışıyoruz” dedi.

Dünyanın en hızlı büyüyen hava kargo markası Turkish Cargo, geniş hizmet yelpazesini ve operasyonel kabiliyetlerini Türkiye’nin eşsiz coğrafi avantajlarıyla birleştirerek başarı çıtasını her geçen gün yükseltmeye devam ediyor.

Following the assistance provided by Mexican dogs in the rescue efforts, Turkey declined to permit the transport of the rescue canines in the cargo hold to their respective countries. Instead, the dogs traveled back in first class seats on Turkish airlines. via https://ift.tt/8x6DpSt putyouinabettermood.com

airsLLide No. 500: TC-JCC, Boeing 707-321C, THY Turkish Airlines, Frankfurt, May 1, 1986.

TC-JCC was among the last pair Boeing 707s used by the Turkish flag carrier on freight runs. She therefore received additional Cargo titles (along with Turkish Airlines in English spelling) on the port, and somewhat strangelooking 'Kargo' lettering on the starboard side, along the Türk Hava Yollari airline titles in Turkish. This was applied as phonetic adaption to Turkish spelling habits in order to ensure proper pronounciation (Cargo with a letter 'C' would be read/pronounced by a Turkishman somewhat as 'tsargo').

Tkachuk explains how Russia is continuing to prevent grain from leaving Ukraine. The July deal established a so-called “humanitarian corridor” in the Black Sea for the shipment of grain — with ships searched in Istanbul by Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, and UN inspectors. The point of inspections is, apparently, to search for “unauthorised cargoes and personnel on board vessels inbound to or outbound from the Ukrainian ports”.

From the outset, Ukraine has complained about Russian inspections of their ships: often ships are waiting “for over a month”, according to the Ukrainian Information Ministry in December. Tkachuk says this is deliberate. “The ports are working; the grain is going on to the ships; we are ready to work. But there are more than 90 grain ships waiting in line in the Bosporus. Four months ago, I was Deputy Head of the port in Chornomorsk [south of Odesa]. I know how this works. They are acting as a break to sabotage the grain deliveries.”

He continues: “The Russians are saying that there are mines in the water — but there are no mines in this corridor. Also, under the terms of the deal, they have the right to inspect a ship before it goes. And they are doing this incredibly slowly. The Turkish inspectors can inspect a ship in three hours — it takes the Russians three days for some reason.”

He is not alone in this view. A few days later, I meet with Oleksiy Goncharenko, MP for the Northwest Odesa region. “The Russians are doing the inspection slowly,” he tells me. “They need a rest, they need to smoke, then a coffee. Then they are ill, and a million other excuses to delay the process. Generally, we have three or four ships going through inspections per day, but during the two days in which Russia wasn’t in the deal, that number was 20 ships.”

Goncharenko believes this contains a vital lesson for the international community. “It was clear from the first day that Russia would do everything it could to kill the deal; it was looking for any excuse. From the beginning, the Russians never wanted it. They want chaos and inflation; they want the Black Sea to remain closed. So when we attacked their fleet in Sevastopol, they obviously jumped at the opportunity to back out. But it was interesting because it didn’t work. They made a huge song and dance about leaving; [Turkish President] Erdogan said, ‘fine then’ and they came back in just over 48 hours.” He concludes. “This is really important because it shows the world how to deal with Russia.”
