Ankara, September 18 (Xinhua) — Turkish Gendarmerie has detained 51 people suspected of links to the Islamic State (IS) group during a major counterterrorism operation over the past two weeks, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced on Thursday.

The suspects are accused of ISIS membership, financing so-called aid organizations linked to the group, and spreading terrorist propaganda on social media, A. Yerlikaya stated on the X social media platform, adding that the operations were carried out in 34 provinces.

According to him, several organizational documents and digital materials were seized during the raids.

“We continue our operations day and night, 365 days a year, to ensure peace and stability in every region of our country,” the minister said.

In 2013, Turkey designated ISIS a terrorist organization, blaming it for a series of deadly attacks in the country. Since then, Ankara has been conducting counterterrorism operations aimed at combating ISIS members and their activities both domestically and internationally.

BEIJING, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) — The northern branch of the Palace Museum (Former Imperial Palace Museum) is expected to open by the end of 2026, a Beijing Youth Daily correspondent learned from the Haidian branch of the Beijing Municipal Planning and Resources Commission on Wednesday.

According to a statement, the main structure of the Palace Museum's northern branch project has already been completed. Interior finishing work has officially begun. This branch is located in northeastern Beijing, in the Haidian district. This district is also home to the former imperial parks of Yiheyuan and Yuanmingyuan.

The branch's total area is 102,000 square meters and will include 12 high-tech exhibition halls, including a department for the protection and restoration of cultural relics, an exhibition hall, a palace gardening center, a hall of intangible cultural heritage, and more. The northern branch will annually display between 20,000 and 30,000 exhibits, which is approximately two to three times more than the Palace Museum itself, which is located in the heart of the Chinese capital.

Currently, due to a lack of exhibition space, many historical relics at the Palace Museum, including massive furniture, carpets, and paintings, are gathering dust in warehouses, and many exhibits cannot be restored in a timely manner.

The design for the northern branch of the Palace Museum is based on cutting-edge technologies and green building concepts. Once completed, it will be a modern space for preserving cultural relics. The new branch will free up, restore, and protect the existing interior space of the Palace Museum, while effectively addressing the challenges of preserving valuable historical artifacts.

Dmitry Grigorenko: Industrial competence centers have developed in-demand IT solutions for airports and airlines.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

More than 60 airports and dozens of airlines, including international ones, have implemented Russian software developed within the Industrial Competence Centers. These solutions were among the completed, highly significant projects of the first wave and have replaced several foreign IT systems supporting airport and airline operations. These include a centralized check-in counter management system and a baggage tracing service. Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko oversees the work of the Industrial Competence Centers.

Industrial Competence Centers (ICCs) bring together major companies and IT solution developers to ensure the high-quality transition of key industries to domestic software. Air transportation is one of the key sectors that requires an active transition to mature Russian solutions. This is necessary to ensure technological independence and system security, eliminating the possibility of unexpected failures and data leaks.

"The ICC's goal is to ensure import substitution in key industries. Airport maintenance and airline operations are areas where the use of Russian software is critical. Because the safety of our citizens and technological independence depend on it. As part of the ICC, we have already developed solutions that have replaced several foreign systems. These solutions have already been implemented by over 60 airports and over 50 airlines," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The 81 completed projects of the first wave include several systems for supporting air transportation processes. For example, the "BAGS Search" system was implemented at the request of Sheremetyevo International Airport. It is a baggage check-in and search service for all airports and airlines in Russia, enabling them to exchange information in a single digital space. The system expedites the resolution of lost baggage incidents. 24/7 customer support is available. Over 400,000 passengers have already found their baggage using the developed service. The solution has been implemented by 14 airlines, including four foreign air carriers from the CIS countries, as well as 62 airports.

In addition, at Sheremetyevo's request, the CUTE software suite was developed for the centralized management of airport and airline IT infrastructure related to passenger dispatch (check-in counters, boarding gates). This solution replaced the information exchange system from the Swiss provider SITA, known as the "SWIFT of aviation" (Russian airlines were disconnected from it in 2022). More than 28 million passengers have already been checked in for flights using this service. A domestic equivalent has been implemented by 23 Russian airports and one international airport.

Another example of a solution developed within the ICC is an aviation service platform commissioned by PJSC Aeroflot. Its purpose is to maintain the functionality of software that facilitates the exchange of aviation data within Russia and internationally. The created system enables airlines, airports, and government agencies to interact via secure communication channels. The platform guarantees message delivery, even if the sender is outside the network coverage area, validates them, and provides storage and archival retrieval of telegrams. Sixty-three Russian and six foreign airports, as well as over 50 air carriers, 33 of which are international, have connected to the system.

In total, approximately 200 particularly significant projects are currently being implemented in Russia within the framework of the ICC. Most of the first-wave projects will be completed by the end of 2026. The second wave of ICC projects began in May 2025. Forty-nine projects were selected and supported within this wave, 17 of which received grant funding totaling 3.2 billion rubles. Completion of the majority of the second-wave projects is scheduled for the end of 2027.
