The Dhaka Times Desk Many questions have been raised about the friendship between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Because Turkey's president has openly supported and provided arms to Ukraine. So how can be friends with Putin?
Erdogan has also publicly insulted the Moscow authorities. Analysts say that Russian President Vladimir Putin has no choice but to accept these. The reason is that Türkiye is very important in meeting Putin's goals.
This week Erdogan allowed 5 commanders of the Azov regiment of Ukraine in his country to return to Ukraine. These soldiers were captured by Russia and released as part of a Turkish-brokered prisoner exchange. But the condition was that they should stay in Turkey until the end of the war. These 5 commanders of the Azov regiment were captured by Russia in the battle of Mariopol in May last year. These 5 commanders were among hundreds of Azov fighters released in exchange for Putin's friend Viktor Medvedchuk in September 2022. Allowing these troops to return to Ukraine is seen by Russia as a stab in the back.
Meanwhile, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that allowing these Azov regiment commanders from Turkey to return to Ukraine is nothing but a direct violation of the terms of the existing agreement. The release was the result of pressure put on Turkey by its NATO allies.
Peskov's comments, which attempt to blame Erdoğan for his actions, remain unclear as to where Moscow-Ankara plans to preserve political and economic ties will go. But it is indicative of Russia's tough policy. Moscow also wants Turkey as one of its regional gas hubs. More importantly, Turkey is also a safe haven for Russian oligarchs ostracized by the West.
That is why it is highly unlikely that Putin will approve the threat to add Turkey to the list of "unfriendly countries" of the Federation Council of Russia. Still, the return of five Azov regiment commanders to Ukraine is seen as another major insult to the Russian president. The reason is that they will fight again against the Russian forces when they return home.
Erdogan's move, coming on the heels of his cousin's uprising in Russia, could have a major impact on Putin's reign. Russian hardliners may therefore question Putin's 'special relationship' with his dear friend Erdogan. Many have already started raising questions. Source: Dawn paper.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
