The General Office of Land Registration and Cadastre issued a statement regarding the owners of shared property in Turkey. Owners who do not apply for a preferential redemption of other shares within 90 days risk losing the right to purchase the preferential share. What is the right of first refusal? The right of pre-emption is the right of other shareholders to first purchase a share when the owners decide to sell their property. However, in order to exercise this right, it is necessary to submit an application within a certain period of time, namely 90 days. Shareholders have the right to object to a sale by certain shareholders without notice to other shareholders, and the sale may be cancelled. For this reason, when selling shares, it is now necessary to obtain a written waiver of their shares from other owners. If the refusal is not received, the owners of the shares can be sued within 2 years from the sale. Thus, if the shareholders plan to buy other shares, they must submit an application within 90 days to retain the right of pre-emption. If a property is sold to several owners, the seller will have to notify other shareholders of the sale, so that they can take advantage of the pre-emptive right to buy. If all owners have agreed to sell the property, it is necessary to formalize a notarial waiver of their shares before the transaction is completedSales to avoid future litigation.

Research conducted at Umm al-Quwain indicates that archaeologists have been able to discover the ancient city of Tuam, which was once the center of the Persian Gulf coast and was known for its pearl catches of high quality. Tuam was known in the 6th century and mentioned in ancient Arabic texts. However, after an epidemic of plague and tensions in the region, the city fell into decline. Excavations conducted in recent years on the island of Al-Sinnia have allowed archaeologists to argue that this site may be a long-forgotten city. This year, the excavations have found remnants of ancient residential buildings - large buildings with courtyards that speak of a thousand-year settlement with a developed social structure. The settlement on Al-Sinnia Island existed at least since the 4th century and reached its heyday in the 5th and 6th centuries. At this time, the Nestorian monks who founded one of the first Christian monasteries in the territory of the modern UAE arrived. Archaeologists are reconstructing the history of development of the settlement, which occupied about 10 hectares. First there were small stone buildings, then, thanks to the pearl trade, the city expanded to appear larger and more richly decorated houses for traders. These findings confirm the activity of trade links with Iraq, Persia and India. In addition, this year archaeologists discovered a pitcher with inscriptions in the ancient Aramaic language that was spoken in the region before the arrival of Arabic. This is a sign of the high level of trade and cultural ties among the inhabitants of this city.

In Turkey, the flamingo population is studied through species monitoring studies on Salt Lake (Tuz G l ), which is among the most important water bodies in the world where flamingo eggs live. During the study, it was found that this year in the area of feeding baby flamingos hatched 4,300 chicks. The coordinator of the project, professor of the department of biology at the University of Nirgendwo Omer Halisdemir, doctor Ahmet Karatash, noted that flamingos are a unique species of birds living in the Mediterranean basin: "Flamingos often prefer salty waters from Spain to Kazakhstan. The nest site is located in the inner part of the lake. The chicks hatch on sandy islands at an altitude of 1-2 meters above the water. We have been monitoring the population of the flamingo for 20 years". Karatash also reported that the number of flamingo chicks this year has been reduced due to drought. So, for example, in 2023, 12,000 chicks were hatched on the Salt Lake.
