Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Wednesday that Turkey no longer does as much trade with Israel as it used to in the past, the state news agency Anadolu reported. A Deutsche Welle reporter asked the president during a joint press conference with his German counterpart, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, on Wednesday how he explained the contradiction between denouncing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for “using Nazi methods” and maintaining extensive trade relations with Israel at the same time. “Turkey no longer does as much trade with Israel, that chapter is closed,” Erdoğan replied and called on “our German friends” to bear in mind that the number of victims from the Israeli attacks on Gaza has reached 45,000.

Seal of Tarkasnawa, King of Mira
Hittite, Anatolia, late 13th century BCE (Hittite Empire)
Luwian hieroglyphs surround a figure in royal dress. The inscription, repeated in cuneiform around the rim, gives the seal owner's name: Tarkasnawa, king of Mira. The name of the ruler was previously transliterated into English as Tarkondemos and Tarkummuwa. Other inscriptions naming Tarkasnawa of Mira are known, including seals found at Hattusa (the capital of the Hittite Empire) and the Karabel rock relief carving near Izmir, Turkey. Located in west-central Anatolia, Mira was a vassal state of the Hittite Empire. This seal, originally published in the 1860s, was purchased in Izmir by its first known modern owner, A. Jovanoff. Its famous bilingual inscription provided the first clues for deciphering Luwian hieroglyphs, which were previously called Hittite hieroglyphs.
