[00:00:39] be discussed for the whole world, of course its
[00:00:43] reflections are also happening in Turkey, those who were
[00:00:46] evacuated, those who were arrested, detentions, this has
[00:00:49] also spread to the economy, serious movements in the
[00:00:52] fund market, in the stock market, when the
[00:00:55] circuit breakers came into play yesterday, Mehmet Şimşek's meeting
[00:01:00] announcement emerged this morning, today those who
[00:01:03] manage the economy in the Republic of Turkey will meet at
[00:01:07] 8 o'clock, because steps will be taken so that
[00:01:10] the stock market crisis in Turkey does not
[00:01:14] drag on, decisions will be made, and unfortunately
[00:01:17] this perfect storm has led to the price of
[00:01:20] diesel fuel, which cannot produce energy or oil,
[00:01:24] and is completely dependent on foreign sources, reaching 100 liras.
[00:01:27] It's hot from last night, it's hot from this morning, it's really
[00:01:31] hot, but the economy seems to be in the first
[00:01:35] place, let's quickly look at our headlines, of course,
[00:01:39] it's not just the economy, a perfect storm is
[00:01:42] coming regarding Turkey's democracy,
[00:01:45] speaking, not from me, being
[00:01:48] on the opposing side, criticizing me, it's either
[00:01:51] you're mine or you're dead, we've been discussing this for a long
[00:01:55] time, but this cannot be called democracy,
[00:01:57] they called it elective democracy,
[00:02:00] is it really possible for a system that
[00:02:03] determines its candidate, its rival, to be a truly
[00:02:07] democratic electoral system? This is the biggest discussion,
[00:02:10] they want controlled opposition, according to Özgür Özel's narrative.
[00:02:14] The Silivri epic, a tear-jerking question. There
[00:02:17] are many tears in Silivri. There have been many tears
[00:02:20] in Silivri since the Ergenekon days. The series
[00:02:23] called Valley of the Wolves, while
[00:02:26] preparing this country for these agendas, was a stepping
[00:02:30] stone for FETÖ. While the felt this in Valley of the
[00:02:33] Wolves, sir. I specifically say, when Zekeriya Öz
[00:02:37] and others, judges, came out and announced
[00:02:40] that document consisting of thousands of pages,
[00:02:44] called the Ergenekon indictment, in the garden
[00:02:47] of the High Criminal Court, the public was already convinced.
[00:02:51] Valley of the Wolves had convinced judged everyone by putting them
[00:02:54] in the same sack, calling them Ergenekonists, with phrases
[00:02:57] like "the superior mind" that happened in this country.
[00:03:01] Since then, the law has not been able to
[00:03:05] hold together. From Türkiye Gazetesi, we will look
[00:03:08] at the pyramid scheme of profiteers. From Karar Gazetesi,
[00:03:12] a dangerous game over the Kaaba, we are being
[00:03:15] dragged into something. You know that famous Russian
[00:03:19] proverb, if a rifle is hung
[00:03:21] on the wall in a theater play,
[00:03:25] it will definitely fire at the end of the play.
[00:03:29] I hope a big war, a big war anxiety,
[00:03:32] does not happen in this geography.
[00:03:35] Our first headline is Pencere Gazetesi. This
[00:03:38] is it. We have a story where we are experiencing
[00:03:42] the consequences of the institutions of the Turkish economy not
[00:03:45] being independent. Of course, there is a crisis in the world.
[00:03:48] Of course, there are wars in the world. Of
[00:03:51] course, there is an energy crisis in the
[00:03:55] world today, but it is as if we are fighting
[00:03:58] beyond all countries. The first sentence of
[00:04:01] the food crisis is this. Sir, what is happening
[00:04:04] to you and me, saying "there is nas, there is nas"
[00:04:08] in that period when the seats of the Central Bank Governors
[00:04:12] and then the ministers were changed every two days, whatever
[00:04:15] the president said was done, and unfortunately, we cannot
[00:04:19] recover from the phrase "there is nas" at the moment, because
[00:04:23] we tried to lower interest rates while they were increasing
[00:04:26] them in the world, the market cannot find its balance despite
[00:04:30] all those rational steps, but the situation is different
[00:04:33] in the United States, there is a leader in that country
[00:04:37] who wants interest rates to fall, you know who that is,
[00:04:40] Donald Trump. The Fed raised interest rates after
[00:04:43] 3 years despite Trump. It has increased
[00:04:47] it to the 4% band. It keeps long-term
[00:04:51] fund interest rates even higher and gives a purchase
[00:04:53] guarantee. The United States Central Bank decided
[00:04:57] to raise interest rates for the first time since
[00:05:12] 2023, despite President Trump's pressure to lower
[00:05:15] interest rates. Kevin, appointed by Trump, showed
[00:05:18] his independent stance clearly, you know why? It's
[00:05:22] a step taken because inflation is going towards
[00:05:24] 4%, in the 3.5-4% band,
[00:05:28] that is, they decide to increase interest rates
[00:05:32] because the inflation that Turkey produces
[00:05:35] in a month is produced in a year, whereas
[00:05:38] in our country, interest rates should be lowered,
[00:05:42] of course interest is a very bad thing, but unfortunately
[00:05:46] we cannot get out from under the phrase "nas
[00:05:49] var" from that first step, let's come, let's also
[00:05:53] explain the details of our news. The Federal Reserve,
[00:05:56] the central bank of the United States, raised its policy
[00:06:00] rate by 25 points to the range of 3.75-4%.
[00:06:03] Thus, the Fed raised interest rates for the
[00:06:07] first time after more than 3 years. The Fed
[00:06:11] raised its policy rate by 25 basis points
[00:06:14] to the range of 3.75-4%. The interest rate decision
[00:06:18] was taken unanimously by all 12 members. Due
[00:06:21] to global economic developments, the American-Iranian war,
[00:06:24] the rise in oil prices, and inflation
[00:06:28] showing an upward trend in the US economy, the number of expectations
[00:06:31] for a Fed interest rate hike had increased.
[00:06:34] In the meantime, the expectation of another 1.25 basis
[00:06:37] point interest rate hike has also emerged. In a statement
[00:06:40] from the Fed, it was stated that inflation continues
[00:06:44] to remain high, and that the interest rate
[00:06:48] hike will support inflation returning to the 2%
[00:06:51] target faster. The statement said, "The committee will ensure
[00:06:55] price stability." Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh stated that
[00:06:58] inflation has been high for too long and that
[00:07:01] the decision to raise interest rates is a correct
[00:07:04] step towards ensuring price stability. Warsh said,
[00:07:08] "I am not in the business of forward guidance. I
[00:07:11] will not make a judgment about our future decisions
[00:07:15] now." US President Donald Trump, after the Fed's
[00:07:18] interest rate hike decision, made a very harsh statement
[00:07:22] on his social media account. Trump reacted
[00:07:25] to the Fed's decision. He used the phrase,
[00:07:27] "Think of the interest
[00:07:33] rate for America and do it quickly."
[00:07:35] Now, this statement is important.
[00:07:38] They say they will curb inflation.
[00:07:42] As I just stated, what they call curbing is inflation in the
[00:07:46] 3.5-4% band. To achieve the 2%
[00:07:49] target, the Fed raised interest rates
[00:07:52] by 25 basis points. There are repercussions in Turkey.
[00:07:55] There are repercussions for diesel fuel in Turkey.
[00:07:58] There are repercussions for other factors in Turkey,
[00:08:02] but the fund market is in turmoil. Yesterday, the
[00:08:06] stock market circuit breaker had to be activated.
[00:08:09] There are stocks that have been trading at their lowest
[00:08:13] prices for a long time. When problems began to
[00:08:16] arise in some companies regarding their sales,
[00:08:19] a crisis, that is, a perfect storm, has emerged.
[00:08:23] When such a story occurs out of nowhere, today
[00:08:27] the Ministry of Treasury and Finance of the Republic
[00:08:30] of Turkey has a press release. Mehmet Şimşek
[00:08:34] and his team will meet at 8 o'clock. Before the
[00:08:36] markets open, before the stock market comes into play,
[00:08:39] the decision from the Fed regarding the gold market,
[00:08:43] the foreign exchange market, what happened yesterday,
[00:08:46] and the fund managers detained at midnight, the financial
[00:08:50] stability committee decided to meet, sir, an important
[00:08:52] meeting, they will meet at 8 o'clock, our Ministry
[00:08:56] of Treasury and Finance, under the chairmanship of
[00:08:59] Mr. Mehmet Şimşek, will meet tomorrow at 8 o'clock
[00:09:03] to evaluate the developments in the financial markets,
[00:09:07] it is respectfully announced to the public. Republic
[00:09:10] of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance. Of
[00:09:14] course, a liquidity problem is being experienced. Send
[00:09:17] a message. A liquidity problem is being experienced.
[00:09:20] Will decisions be made regarding this? Will the problems
[00:09:24] of the companies be solved regarding this? What decision
[00:09:27] will be made, we will also follow this. The circuit
[00:09:31] breaker worked in the stock market, the decline was 5%.
[00:09:34] While the world's eyes were focused on the Fed's
[00:09:38] interest rate decision, the sharp fluctuation that
[00:09:40] started with the capital market board's fund
[00:09:44] regulation intensified on the third day of the week,
[00:09:47] activating the circuit breakers in Borsa Istanbul. While
[00:09:50] the index fell close to 7% during the day,
[00:09:53] it closed the day with a 5.5% loss at
[00:09:56] 13,122 points. I'm telling you. How did
[00:09:59] a perfect storm suddenly emerge? The steps taken,
[00:10:03] the decisions made, correct decisions, wrong decisions.
[00:10:06] What came from the Fed, the great pressure in
[00:10:09] the energy market. The meeting at 8 o'clock
[00:10:12] seems very important.
[00:10:15] Borsa Istanbul crashed sharply. The loss in Bist was close
[00:10:19] to 6%. A circuit breaker was applied for a
[00:10:22] while. The panic atmosphere
[00:10:28] that arose caused sales across the stock market.
[00:10:31] Markets are active, investors in Borsa Istanbul started
[00:10:34] the day with a sharp decline. The fund crisis
[00:10:38] that started with Pusula Portföy also spread to
[00:10:42] Borsa Istanbul. With the sales pressure related to
[00:10:45] Tera also coming into play, the loss in
[00:10:49] Bist approached 6% and the circuit breaker
[00:10:52] was activated. Transactions resumed as of 4:24 PM.
[00:10:55] The panic atmosphere that arose after the developments
[00:10:59] in the funds accelerated sales across the stock
[00:11:02] market. The gold market started the day with
[00:11:06] an increase, contrary to expectations. An ounce
[00:11:09] of gold is trading at $4,345. In
[00:11:13] the Grand Bazaar, a gram of gold is
[00:11:16] sold at 6,794 liras. When we look
[00:11:19] at it in TL terms, it's currently around
[00:11:22] 676-6.80, but 6,600-6,500 is
[00:11:25] still strong support in the short term. The
[00:11:29] course of the economy is changing, sometimes
[00:11:32] it goes up. This is Turkey. It's normal.
[00:11:35] How much will it be at the end of the
[00:11:38] year? I think it will reach eight again.
[00:11:41] The stock market crashed. Oil rose, while gold
[00:11:45] continues its volatile course. Citizens have
[00:11:48] stopped investing, they are trying to save
[00:11:51] the day. The market is negative, so I
[00:11:55] prefer to wait for cash. It's very expensive.
[00:11:58] Do we have an end-of-year expectation? Yes, 7,000-7,500.
[00:12:01] We are waiting for the interest rate indices
[00:12:05] in America, it will change accordingly. Is the citizen waiting for
[00:12:08] interest? The citizen is waiting for interest.
[00:12:11] The citizen has already become an economist. They
[00:12:14] cannot lower inflation,
[00:12:19] no matter what they do, they cannot lower it.
[00:12:23] 3.4. When you look
[00:13:24] something to you with what we learned from
[00:13:27] what the experts told us, to describe
[00:13:31] that something is really happening, first of all,
[00:13:34] let this be our first sentence, this is not
[00:13:37] investment advice, sir, never get excited,
[00:13:41] if you have investments, don't get excited, if
[00:13:44] you are thinking of investing, don't get
[00:13:48] excited, the Republic of Turkey is a huge,
[00:13:52] great state, eventually it will get out
[00:13:55] of the irrational story it is experiencing today
[00:13:58] with the steps it will take and the
[00:14:02] decisions it will make, perhaps the reason for
[00:14:05] all our sentences is this, do not run
[00:14:09] somewhere and lose the little money you
[00:14:13] have, in this wave, your money can truly
[00:14:16] be lost, the stock market, the stock market's
[00:14:20] compass is broken, they say, there is a
[00:14:24] fund earthquake in the markets. While discussions
[00:14:28] about funds that provided high returns recently
[00:14:31] continued, Borsa Istanbul lost nearly 6%
[00:14:35] yesterday, falling to its lowest level since
[00:14:39] April 2nd. The first sign of the tremor
[00:14:42] in the market, where dozens of stocks hit
[00:14:46] rock bottom and circuit breakers were activated,
[00:14:49] came after the restrictions implemented by the Capital
[00:14:53] Markets Board on August 28th. First, the
[00:14:56] funds of Pusula Portföy, which were subjected
[00:14:59] to heavy selling pressure, and yesterday, two
[00:15:03] funds of Tera Portföy also defaulted, meaning
[00:15:06] payments could not be made to people who
[00:15:09] wanted to withdraw their money. When payments
[00:15:12] could not be made, a big panic atmosphere
[00:15:15] arose, this time they turned to the stock
[00:15:19] market, and when the funds increased their transactions
[00:15:22] in the stock market, a perfect storm, so
[00:15:25] the decisions Mehmet Şimşek will make and announce
[00:15:28] at 8 o'clock are very important for this,
[00:15:32] the market expects steps to prevent this
[00:15:35] perfect storm from growing even bigger,
[00:15:39] the chairman of Tera Holding, Emre Tezben,
[00:15:43] claimed that they were subjected to a planned,
[00:15:45] deliberate and organized speculative attack, he
[00:15:48] says that a temporary liquidity shortage is
[00:15:52] being experienced, but there is also a
[00:15:56] detention, now before Mehmet Şimşek's meeting,
[00:15:59] there is an important company, let's see,
[00:16:03] the chairman of info yatırım and hedef holding,
[00:16:06] we also put his picture, Mr. Namık Kemal
[00:16:10] Gökalp, it emerged that Mr. Namık Kemal
[00:16:13] Gökalp was detained by the financial branch
[00:16:17] teams by coming to the holding building, after
[00:16:21] this claim, there is a statement from Hedef
[00:16:24] Holding. Hedef Holding says, in order
[00:16:28] to correctly inform our valuable investors, business
[00:16:31] partners and the public, it has become necessary
[00:16:35] to make the following statement. Within the
[00:16:38] scope of an ongoing investigation, our chairman
[00:16:42] of the board of directors of Hedef Holding,
[00:16:45] Mr. Namık Kemal Gökalp, has been invited to
[00:16:49] the police station to provide information. This
[00:16:52] is the holding's assessment, but the claim is
[00:16:55] that he was detained. We will convey the
[00:16:58] official dimension of the matter with the statement
[00:17:02] that will come from the police and the
[00:17:05] prosecutor's office during the day. But...
[00:17:08] things are happening, especially within the market,
[00:17:11] a huge perfect storm has emerged with the
[00:17:14] panic sales in the stock market by companies
[00:17:18] experiencing liquidity, i.e., money problems,
[00:17:22] payment difficulties, and people who could
[00:17:24] not get their money. Let's see what happens,
[00:17:28] Halk TV will also follow this during
[00:17:31] the day and it's coming, it's not
[00:17:35] coming, is it? It finally came. In Istanbul,
[00:17:39] it's now 100 liras and 10 kuruş, 100
[00:17:42] liras and 30 kuruş, dear Bora shared
[00:17:46] this, so let's steal this from him,
[00:17:50] he says if you have 200 liras, you
[00:17:53] can't buy 2 liters of gasoline, I'm sorry, diesel, not gasoline,
[00:18:26] to increase fuel prices. The price
[00:18:30] of a liter of diesel, effective
[00:18:33] from last night, this is the increase that came overnight.
[00:18:37] Okay, it passed 100 liras with
[00:18:40] an increase of 4 liras and 6 kuruş,
[00:18:44] 60 kuruş, 4.5 liras. The price
[00:18:48] of a liter of diesel is 100
[00:18:51] liras and 22 kuruş in Istanbul, European
[00:18:55] side. And 100 liras and 8 kuruş
[00:18:58] in the Anatolian side. Let's get
[00:19:02] the picture from the Anatolian side. I
[00:19:06] also woke up at 3 AM, sir, we
[00:19:10] come here, we create our flow, we look
[00:19:13] at our newspapers with dear Ezgi, we look at the
[00:19:16] heat of the night,
[00:19:22] here is the heat of the night, I also
[00:19:25] took this picture, I said, it says Anatolian
[00:19:29] side, right? Look, the price on the
[00:19:32] Anatolian side is not 100 liras and 8
[00:19:36] kuruş, it's 100 liras and 19 kuruş,
[00:19:40] so if you have 200 liras, we
[00:19:43] have fallen into a situation where we cannot
[00:19:46] buy 2 liters of gasoline with the biggest
[00:19:50] money in Turkey. So, what's important
[00:19:53] is this: I am, yes. It's
[00:19:56] also like this in
[00:20:11] we have the money to buy it or
[00:20:14] not? The discussion was whether they could
[00:20:17] write 100 liras. Writing 100 liras
[00:20:21] is easy, the problem is how I will
[00:20:24] pay for it. Prices are like
[00:20:27] a car in neutral, accelerating on their
[00:20:31] own. Wages are like a car
[00:20:33] with the handbrake on. This is
[00:20:37] our situation. So we will either burn
[00:20:41] the clutch, or get out of the
[00:20:44] car and run,
[00:20:48] I don't know, we are progressing very
[00:20:52] badly, may it be for our
[00:20:55] good. In cold weather, I used to
[00:20:58] turn the ignition
[00:21:00] to warm up the
[00:21:03] car, but now it's not like
[00:21:06] that, as soon as I start the car, vroom, they
[00:21:10] don't hesitate to suck people's blood,
[00:21:14] honestly, we are
[00:21:15] not surprised at
[00:21:20] all anymore, because it's on autopilot.
[00:21:23] If it drops by 3 liras, it
[00:21:26] increases by 5 liras. I think
[00:21:29] it will reach
[00:21:31] 150 by the
[00:21:34] end of the year. Of course,
[00:21:38] this will affect everything we do,
[00:21:41] our kitchen, our pockets. Of course,
[00:21:45] fixed income earners like us are
[00:21:48] experiencing the biggest difficulties. Of course,
[00:21:52] transporters, bus companies, all of
[00:21:55] them will be affected by this. Our
[00:21:59] debts are virtual, our incomes are
[00:22:02] virtual, our payments are virtual, our
[00:22:05] lives are virtual. Now, we have
[00:22:09] reached a point where we are
[00:22:12] losing the reality of what is
[00:22:15] right, what is wrong, what is
[00:22:19] too much, and what is too
[00:22:22] little. I mean, in Turkey, you will buy a
[00:22:26] tank of gasoline and carry it
[00:22:29] in a bag. Honestly, there's nothing
[00:22:32] to say about it. I mean,
[00:22:35] we used to talk about South American countries
[00:22:38] like Argentina, etc., going with wheelbarrows.
[00:22:42] During the Iraq war, you would
[00:22:45] go with stacks of money, buy
[00:22:49] a roll of toilet paper, give a
[00:22:52] bag of money to buy a
[00:22:56] hamburger, etc. Today, at the
[00:22:59] point we have reached in Turkey,
[00:23:03] gradually, perhaps because it was
[00:23:06] insisted on a little more, when
[00:23:10] you go with a bag of money for 200 liras,
[00:23:14] you have a
[00:23:18] chance to get enough fuel to
[00:23:22] travel 400 kilometers. The next day,
[00:23:25] it's the difference from inflation that
[00:23:28] has taken hold, the headline of Milli
[00:23:32] Gazete, I love the economy headlines
[00:23:36] of this newspaper, Milli Gazete, which
[00:23:40] has the freedom to look from the
[00:23:43] citizen's perspective, we will say this,
[00:23:47] now diesel is 101 liras, from
[00:23:51] needle to thread, you know the rest
[00:23:54] of the sentence, I don't even need
[00:23:57] to complete it, but today there
[00:24:00] is a Ministry of Treasury and Finance,
[00:24:04] an economic management that lives as
[00:24:07] if there is no inflation in this
[00:24:11] country. You will see in a
[00:24:14] moment, they say it's expensive all
[00:24:18] over the world, so we will
[00:24:22] also ask, Mr. Mehmet Şimşek, is
[00:24:25] the purchasing power so low all
[00:24:29] over the world? What he means by
[00:24:32] saying "the difference from inflation has
[00:24:36] taken hold" is this: He thinks
[00:24:39] that he manages the economy well
[00:24:42] because he gives us our legal
[00:24:46] rights. But ask the citizen
[00:24:50] in the market. Every day our purchasing
[00:24:53] power decreases. Every day it is pulled
[00:24:56] down a bit. I don't know what
[00:24:59] to do. The pressure of the high cost
[00:25:03] The game, the
[00:25:06] dominance of the Iranian-backed Houthis in the strategic
[00:25:10] Bab al-Mandab Strait, brought tension in the region to a peak.
[00:25:13] While Washington remained silent regarding Riyadh's concerns
[00:25:16] about energy routes, the Saudi administration announced yesterday
[00:25:20] that they had destroyed an armed aerial vehicle
[00:25:24] targeting Mecca before it reached the holy city.
[00:25:27] The Houthis denied the accusation. All eyes are on the Mecca Pact.
[00:25:31] Now the crisis here is, was this UAV
[00:25:34] over Mecca from the Houthis or the Israeli side?
[00:25:37] Reasonable suspicion is also at play here. Let's look
[00:25:40] at the images.
[00:25:43] There was a strong reaction from Ankara to the Yemeni Houthis'
[00:25:46] attempted UAV attack on Mecca. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
[00:25:50] condemned the UAV attack. A written statement from the Ministry
[00:25:53] of Foreign Affairs said, "We strongly condemn the UAV
[00:25:57] attack targeting the holy city of Mecca."
[00:26:00] "We reaffirm our support for Saudi Arabia's sovereignty, territorial integrity,
[00:26:04] and security. We once again emphasize our solidarity with Saudi
[00:26:08] Arabia." The statement concluded with, "We reiterate our call
[00:26:12] for an immediate end to these attacks, which also threaten
[00:26:15] regional stability and security, and for refraining from all
[00:26:19] actions intended to further escalate tensions."
[00:26:22] AK Party spokesperson Ömer Çelik also commented on the attempted
[00:26:26] drone attack targeting Mecca. "Developments
[00:26:29] will be transparently
[00:26:33] announced to the public on this matter, but we absolutely declare
[00:26:37] our opposition," he stated. This is an assessment.
[00:26:39] A halo of fire over the holy city.
[00:26:42] I hope this halo of fire
[00:26:45] does not reach a point where it burns the geography.
[00:26:49] Now, Iran, a Shiite violation story, as you know,
[00:26:52] was being written for this region, until
[00:26:55] the recent attacks in October
[00:26:58] started, Lebanon, this region, the Houthis,
[00:27:01] the entire geography. Philippines
[00:27:04] all suffered destruction, and finally, it's coming
[00:27:08] to an end with attacks against Iran, but of course,
[00:27:11] everyone should tread carefully regarding this Mecca alliance,
[00:27:15] because I think Turkey should definitely
[00:27:19] stay out of the fire. Our next news
[00:27:23] is about those who were arrested, those who were released,
[00:27:26] and journalists. Journalists are also involved
[00:27:29] in a major operation, and
[00:27:33] LGBT. You know, there were arrests
[00:27:36] during the protests, and there are detentions and releases. Within the scope of the investigation
[00:27:40] carried out against LGB, LGBTII +
[00:27:43] associations, 20 people were arrested in Istanbul.
[00:27:45] Judicial control measures were applied to 14 people.
[00:27:49] Arrest warrants were issued for 12 people.
[00:27:52] The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office announced
[00:27:56] that the proceedings regarding the individuals referred to the courthouse
[00:27:59] within the scope of the investigation targeting LGBTI+
[00:28:02] were completed. In the statement made by the Chief Public
[00:28:05] Prosecutor's Office, it was reported that 20 people were arrested by the Criminal
[00:28:09] Judgeship of Peace. The statement indicated that judicial control
[00:28:12] measures were applied to 10 out of 14 people due to their advanced
[00:28:15] age, and to 4 people considering the evidence situation.
[00:28:19] One person was directly released after giving their statement.
[00:28:23] It was also noted that arrest warrants were issued for
[00:28:27] 13 fugitives.
[00:28:32] Yes. "The wave of censorship
[00:28:35] is spreading like wildfire." Look, Sherin Pizon,
[00:28:38] left, journalists. What did we think?
[00:28:42] I mean, within what scope are these people's
[00:28:45] social media being blocked?
[00:28:48] Pencere Newspaper said, "The wave of censorship is spreading like wildfire."
[00:28:51] The wave of arrests and digital censorship, which began
[00:28:55] with the "My Family is Safe" operation targeting LGBTI+ associations
[00:28:58] and activists, is rapidly spreading. While the number
[00:29:01] of arrests nationwide exceeds 80, access
[00:29:04] to the X accounts of İrfan Değirmenci, Shirin Pyzen,
[00:29:08] Sol Haber, Women's Coalition, and the Federation of Women's
[00:29:11] Associations of Turkey was also blocked. Political
[00:29:14] sensitivities also came into play in the censorship.
[00:29:17] News regarding the company co-owned by the husband of Özlem
[00:29:21] Çerçioğlu, who joined the AK Party, becoming the new supplier of Tog,
[00:29:24] was also blocked
[00:29:43] Nasuh Mahruki
[00:29:46] is free. For a very long time, Nasuh Mahruki, former head of AKUT,
[00:29:50] was arrested for inciting hatred and hostility or humiliating
[00:29:54] the public due to his social media post about July 15.
[00:29:57] A decision was made at the first hearing, and he was released.
[00:30:01] Nasuh Mahruki, who was facing up to 4.5 years in prison,
[00:30:05] appeared before the judge at the Bakırköy 57th Criminal
[00:30:09] Court of First Instance. Due to the small size of the courtroom,
[00:30:11] the hearing was moved to the conference hall. When the judge asked
[00:30:15] him to make a defense, Mahruki said, "I don't know what crime
[00:30:19] I am accused of. If you specify my crime, I can make a defense.
[00:30:23] It was initially claimed that I used the term 'theatre' in my social
[00:30:26] media post regarding the July 15 coup attempt. The word
[00:30:30] 'theatre' was not there. In the next stage, it was stated that
[00:30:32] I said 'game'." Nasuh Mahruki, who stated
[00:30:36] that he is a pioneer of search and rescue in Turkey,
[00:30:39] said, "My actions are clear. It's embarrassing for me
[00:30:43] to try to explain that I did not incite hatred and hostility.
[00:30:46] I strongly deny it. I am not that person. I am
[00:30:50] the person I described." The prosecutor, on the other
[00:30:54] hand, requested Mahruki's punishment. The judge, who sentenced Mahruki
[00:30:57] to one year in prison, decided to defer the announcement of the verdict.
[00:31:01] Nasuh Mahruki was released.
[00:31:10] Silivri. Now, there isn't much to say about Silivri.
[00:31:14] Some people who say "I gave bribes" cannot recognize the man
[00:31:18] in the courtroom when asked who they gave bribes to.
[00:31:21] They can't recognize the person they gave hundreds of thousands
[00:31:24] of dollars to, they can't remember his face. This story started
[00:31:28] like this, especially I went to the first hearing
[00:31:31] with the suspicion that with so many allegations,
[00:31:35] some evidence would surely emerge. And after
[00:31:38] the first hearing, I went 5-6 times, and every
[00:31:41] time we went, in every statement, believe
[00:31:44] me, I'm talking about something humane, one struggles not
[00:31:47] to cry at the reactions of some people,
[00:31:50] not to cry. Some come out and say, "This investigation,
[00:31:54] this case is not political, brother," and make such evaluations,
[00:31:57] but they should not forget that those people are also
[00:32:00] citizens of the Republic of Turkey, they walked from Ankara to Istanbul
[00:32:04] for them. I mean, come on, not that much, brother,
[00:32:07] I feel like saying, "politics and love of power."
[00:32:10] A question in Silivri made the defendant cry.
[00:32:14] "If your son hadn't been arrested, would you have given a statement?"
[00:32:18] The defendant who gave the effective remorse statement couldn't answer.
[00:32:22] In the IMM case with 51 arrested and 414 defendants,
[00:32:25] 82 days have passed. In the hearing that ended
[00:32:28] yesterday at 10 PM, Ali Sukas, who was a general manager
[00:32:32] in the affiliates, asked the unarrested defendant,
[00:32:35] who gave an effective remorse statement, "If your son hadn't
[00:32:38] been arrested, would you have given this statement?"
[00:32:52] can this man say? İbrahim Halil Babacan, accused of bribery
[00:32:56] in the indictment, said there was no bribery. Cemal Ufuk Karakaya
[00:33:00] also stated that he did not hear the words "organization" and "system."
[00:33:02] The IMM case, in which 414 people,
[00:33:06] including IMM President Ekrem İmamoğlu, are being tried,
[00:33:09] continues. Since August 17, more than 190 unarrested
[00:33:13] individuals have made their defense.
[00:33:15] Businessman İbrahim Halil Babacan is under arrest from another
[00:33:19] case, not the IMM case. It was alleged in the indictment
[00:33:22] that he was asked for a bribe. After his defense, Beylikdüzü
[00:33:25] Mayor Mehmet Murat Çalık took the floor and asked,
[00:33:29] "During your construction, did I make any demands of you
[00:33:32] under duress?" İbrahim Halil Babacan said
[00:33:35] that Çalık had no such demand. Thereupon, Çalık asked about
[00:33:38] the bribery allegation. İbrahim Halil Babacan
[00:33:42] said there was no bribery. Former IMM Deputy Secretary
[00:33:46] General Ufuk Karakaya was also one of the individuals
[00:33:49] who made a defense. He denied all accusations. He also rejected
[00:33:52] the allegation of membership in an organization, stating
[00:33:56] that he only received instructions from his superior officers.
[00:33:59] After Karakaya's defense, Ekrem İmamoğlu asked if he had heard
[00:34:03] the terms "organization system"
[00:34:05] in their meetings. Karakaya replied, "If I had
[00:34:08] heard the terms organization system, would I still be working
[00:34:12] here?" The IMM case
[00:34:15] is expected to continue until the end of September.
[00:34:19] The unarrested individuals will make their defense. Ekrem
[00:34:22] İmamoğlu, who could not make his defense in the first
[00:34:24] hearing, is also expected
[00:34:29] to be heard in this hearing. When we look at Trump's story,
[00:34:32] when we look at Putin's story, other
[00:34:34] authoritarian leaders
[00:34:38] today, with their governing style,
[00:34:41] elected people are becoming more assertive,
[00:34:45] more centralized, more "my opinion
[00:34:48] is more valuable" kind of understanding, and in the end,
[00:34:51] it doesn't lead the world to a good place, as you can see,
[00:34:55] there are wars in the world, the economic crisis is increasing,
[00:34:59] there was an expectation after the pandemic, but Europe's biggest illness
[00:35:02] is this, sir, look, we experienced two world wars,
[00:35:06] and there were huge deaths in both of them, both on European Union
[00:35:09] territory, which at that time didn't exist, it originated
[00:35:13] from the economic crisis there. Whenever Europe is in trouble,
[00:35:16] the world gets into trouble. I hope they don't resort
[00:35:20] to such a thing again. I hope such a thing doesn't happen.
[00:35:24] I honestly read the rise of this fascist wave in Germany
[00:35:28] from here. The French newspaper Le Figaro, which said Europe
[00:35:31] should not turn its back, wrote about Özgür Özel's demagoguery,
[00:35:34] how Turkey stands out among these self-centered,
[00:35:38] authoritarian leaders. Arrests, detentions,
[00:35:41] closure of X accounts. Now, the United States.
[00:35:45] What will happen if you accuse it of being a one-man rule?
[00:35:48] The Fed chair doesn't care, doesn't take what he says
[00:35:51] seriously, because there's institutional democracy, but not in this country.
[00:35:55] Özgür Özel says Europe should not tone down
[00:35:58] its criticisms regarding our course
[00:36:01] because it is being threatened.
[00:36:07] Turkey is an important example of how the increasingly
[00:36:10] complex and sophisticated authoritarianism of the 21st
[00:36:14] century works. The basic lesson is simple. Democracies
[00:36:18] rarely disappear overnight; they erode step by step.
[00:36:21] Turkey showed an example of how authoritarianism
[00:36:24] works. It said that democracies rarely disappear overnight,
[00:36:28] but erode step by step. New Party Chairman Özgür Özel
[00:36:32] argued in an article he wrote for France's respected
[00:36:35] newspaper Le Figaro, titled "Turkey: A Striking Example
[00:36:38] of 21st Century Subtle Authoritarianism," that
[00:36:41] democratic institutions and political competition
[00:36:45] in Turkey are increasingly eroding. Özgür Özel
[00:36:48] also made an important warning in his article. He said
[00:36:51] that democracy in Turkey is being emptied. In the last 20 years,
[00:36:55] political power in Turkey has
[00:36:58] increasingly centered around President Erdoğan. Judicial independence
[00:37:01] has weakened, and a significant portion of the media has
[00:37:05] come under government control. Journalists faced trials.
[00:37:08] Demonstrations were restricted, and companies were seized.
[00:37:12] Municipalities run by the opposition were subjected to increasing
[00:37:15] pressure. The arrest of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor
[00:37:18] Ekrem İmamoğlu in March 2025 is one of the most striking
[00:37:22] examples of this. Özgür Özel also made an important warning
[00:37:25] in his article. He said that democracy in Turkey is being
[00:37:29] emptied. However, the conditions of political competition change
[00:37:32] so much over time in favor of the government that institutions
[00:37:36] established to limit the government eventually turn into tools
[00:37:39] that protect it. Turkey is an inseparable part of Europe's
[00:37:43] democratic history. The current direction serves as a serious
[00:37:46] warning about how democracy can be hollowed out while
[00:37:50] seemingly remaining intact. Özel stated that after İmamoğlu's
[00:37:53] detention, access to some social media platforms was
[00:37:56] slowed down, and access was blocked to hundreds of accounts
[00:37:59] belonging to journalists, students,
[00:38:03] and politicians. Özel reminded in his article
[00:38:06] that İmamoğlu's social media account was also blocked,
[00:38:09] that the use of İmamoğlu's images was banned, that
[00:38:13] his family company was seized, and that the book he wrote
[00:38:16] in prison was censored. He reminded that more than
[00:38:20] 30 opposition mayors were arrested or removed
[00:38:23] from office. Elections continue to be held, courts
[00:38:26] remain open, parties continue to exist, and parliament
[00:38:30] continues to work. There is no need for democracy
[00:38:33] to be imposed on Turkey from outside. The people
[00:38:37] already believe in democracy. The main question today
[00:38:40] is whether citizens' democratic preferences are still
[00:38:43] allowed to turn into
[00:38:44] political power.
[00:38:58] behind democratically, a picture clearly
[00:39:01] shows that democracy is bread, that
[00:39:03] democracy is predictability, that without democracy,
[00:39:07] bread also diminishes. With a free market economy
[00:39:11] and an undemocratic free market economy,
[00:39:14] "what I say goes" and the free market
[00:39:18] economy leads to operations against middlemen,
[00:39:21] operations against chicken farmers, operations against
[00:39:24] them, and now operations against holdings. Let's see
[00:39:27] where this will end. Now, there's also this situation,
[00:39:31] when we talk about democracy, 15.5 million people
[00:39:34] went and signed for him to be a presidential candidate,
[00:39:38] so your signature is under that document. I'm talking
[00:39:41] about Ekrem İmamoğlu, and he's inviting him to a new
[00:39:45] party, because there's a lot of wavering these days.
[00:39:48] My dear citizens, I miss you very much.
[00:39:52] As I eagerly await the day we reunite, I am excited
[00:39:55] about the path the new party will open for Turkey.
[00:39:58] We are stepping into a new era. We are building
[00:40:02] new generation politics
[00:40:05] all together. So, what is new generation
[00:40:08] politics? The most important part of new
[00:40:11] generation politics is the new generation member.
[00:40:14] The member of the new party is not one who waits,
[00:40:18] but one who demands. Not one who follows,
[00:40:21] but one who expresses their free opinion. Not
[00:40:24] one who observes, but one who decides. The member of the new party,
[00:40:34] a mayoral candidate. We said, "Come,
[00:40:37] vote, make history." With 15.5 million
[00:40:41] votes, you elected your presidential candidate
[00:40:44] and truly made history. Now we say,
[00:40:48] "Come, become a member, be Turkey's hope."
[00:40:51] To women, to youth, to those
[00:40:55] fighting for labor and bread for their families.
[00:41:02] I appeal to everyone who has not lost hope for the future. You will open the way, and Turkey will find peace.
[00:41:05] What did Mehmet Akif say?
[00:41:08] "It is right for an ownerless
[00:41:11] homeland to sink. If you protect
[00:41:15] it, this homeland will not sink."
[00:41:17] Have a say in Turkey's future. The new
[00:41:21] party does not belong to one person,
[00:41:23] one office, or one staff.
[00:41:40] I invite everyone who thinks to walk side by side
[00:41:43] on this journey. I greet you
[00:41:55] shouldn't we? Because he's a name they tried
[00:41:58] to make forgotten in prison. He was nominated as a presidential
[00:42:01] candidate by the Republican People's Party with the signatures
[00:42:04] of 15.5 million people. Since that day,
[00:42:07] his troubles have not ended. Now,
[00:42:10] we are talking about another prison. These are prisons,
[00:42:13] brother. İmralı is a prison, that is also a prison, and
[00:42:17] when you look at it, there's a story coded with the villa
[00:42:21] discussion. The retired people of this country have no chance
[00:42:24] of buying a villa, but Mr. Devlet Bahçeli said, "There's no villa
[00:42:27] or anything, brother, don't exaggerate the issue." The gentleman,
[00:42:31] the architect of the "Turkey without terrorism" issue in Türkgün Newspaper,
[00:42:35] I mean, he started it, he's carrying it out.
[00:42:38] We'll all see how it ends, but at this point,
[00:42:41] it's as if the government is not interested in this
[00:42:45] issue at all, not looking this way, because these are
[00:42:48] news items that will affect millions of people, of course,
[00:42:52] but Devlet Bahçeli doesn't care, and they have started
[00:42:56] making statements that they will complete the three crescents
[00:42:59] by re-electing Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as president. We took
[00:43:03] it from Türkgün Newspaper, it says there's no such thing
[00:43:06] as a villa in İmralı. When things got complicated
[00:43:09] with Nagihan's first statement, Nagihan Alça's
[00:43:12] statement, this time they tried to summarize the issue by saying
[00:43:16] that there is a 250 square meter house inside the prison walls,
[00:43:20] but at this point, this debate seems likely to continue until
[00:43:24] the election. Let's see our next headline:
[00:43:27] "Tost on a hanger for poor students." That's it, a villa for students.
[00:43:31] Perhaps this is the most important issue to talk about. If these
[00:43:33] children are "on a hanger" to eat toast, then Mehmet
[00:43:37] Şimşek should be invited to resign with his tree.
[00:43:40] What is this? This disgrace? How much longer will we endure this?
[00:43:45] My child
[00:43:47] wants toast, but how will this child ask for this toast,
[00:43:51] brother? Let's say they ask, won't the other kids make fun of them at school?
[00:43:54] This is the situation with the practice implemented
[00:43:58] in Sivas. As the new academic year begins, one of the biggest
[00:44:01] problems is shown to be malnutrition among children. In Sivas,
[00:44:04] the "suspended toast" practice was implemented
[00:44:08] in the canteen of 4 Eylül Middle School for needy
[00:44:11] students. Horrible news. Horrible. I invite
[00:44:15] the governor of Sivas, the Minister of National Education,
[00:44:18] everyone, to resign. But I
[00:44:19] put Mehmet Şimşek first.
[00:44:24] First, there was a price hike in school canteens,
[00:44:28] then regulations came. Some foods were banned in canteens.
[00:44:32] Three ministries, in cooperation, made a series of changes
[00:44:35] in school canteens. Now, acidic drinks, chips,
[00:44:39] potatoes and similar fried foods, candies,
[00:44:43] creamy chocolate, and filled packaged foods
[00:44:46] will no longer be sold. There are also banned
[00:44:50] cheeses. Using melted cheese in toasts was banned.
[00:44:53] Cheeses known as cream cheese will no longer
[00:44:56] be used in toasts made in canteens. A requirement to use at
[00:45:00] least 20 grams of cheese in toast was also
[00:45:02] introduced. Vahap Osmanoğlu, President
[00:45:06] of the Istanbul Canteen Operators' Chamber of Craftsmen,
[00:45:11] stated that packaged products should not exceed 200 calories.
[00:45:15] The price increase for canteen products was announced
[00:45:18] in the past few days. The price of toast,
[00:45:21] which was 90 liras, rose to 100 liras. The total
[00:45:25] cost of a toast and an ayran became 130 liras.
[00:45:28] This year, simit will be 30 liras, açma and poğaça
[00:45:32] 35 liras in canteens. The price of chicken doner
[00:45:35] was determined as 145 liras. The price of half a liter
[00:45:39] of water is 15 liras, and tea is 25 liras.
[00:45:42] While cold sandwich prices vary between 100 and
[00:45:45] 125 liras, hamburger is sold for 160 liras,
[00:45:49] and bread-wrapped
[00:45:49] meat wraps are 180 liras.
[00:45:56] Lives on hold, pensioners on hold, middle
[00:46:00] income class on hold, our middle age on hold,
[00:46:04] now children on hold. This shouldn't be happening.
[00:46:08] The school situation must be corrected. So, I am calling
[00:46:11] on the Governor of Sivas. If he does not intervene,
[00:46:15] I will try to follow this news as much as I can.
[00:46:18] Like the mad Dürrül, according to budget data,
[00:46:21] the total amount of fines issued in the January-August
[00:46:25] period of 2026 reached 1 trillion
[00:46:28] 364 billion TL. 1 trillion
[00:46:31] 364 billion TL. Truly,
[00:46:35] owning a car in Turkey is a crime. Mehmet Şimşek,
[00:46:38] we just reported on it. He will definitely collect
[00:46:41] the tax he lost from gasoline from somewhere. He won't take
[00:46:45] it out of his pocket and give it to us. I'm a journalist
[00:46:49] who has said this 40 times. This is what happens in the end.
[00:46:52] This money will come from somewhere, from us. The world is discussing
[00:46:56] whether artificial intelligence will get us into trouble,
[00:47:00] but on the other hand, factories that produce robots.
[00:47:02] This is our last news.
[00:47:07] A first in the world has occurred: robots have started producing
[00:47:11] robots. A factory that produces one robot every 10 minutes
[00:47:14] has been established in China. China's technology giant
[00:47:17] Uptech Robotics has embarked on a project that will go
[00:47:21] down in industrial history. A new factory was established
[00:47:24] in Lazo, South China. The humanoid robot smart factory
[00:47:27] with a capacity of 10,000 has started production.
[00:47:31] The facility carries out mass production of humanoid
[00:47:34] robots. Its annual capacity
[00:47:37] reaches 10,000 robots. The most striking feature
[00:47:41] of the factory is the extremely limited human intervention.
[00:47:44] The system is based on a single principle: robots produce
[00:47:48] robots. The facility, built on an area of 14,000 square
[00:47:52] meters, is 13.8 meters high. The production line
[00:47:55] is largely automated. The factory can produce
[00:47:58] a humanoid robot every 10 minutes. Among the project partners
[00:48:01] is the German technology giant, Mans. All factory
[00:48:04] operations are managed by a digital system.
[00:48:07] This system acts as the smart brain of the factory.
[00:48:11] Humanoid robots also work on the production line.
[00:48:14] They solve pallets, transport parts, and perform loading
[00:48:18] operations. Each robot produced is tracked with a serial number. Each part is
[00:48:24] recorded separately. After production is complete,
[00:48:28] the testing process begins. Each robot undergoes tests
[00:48:31] lasting more than 4 hours. It is controlled in a 360-degree
[00:48:35] light tunnel. The aim is to guarantee both the safety
[00:48:38] and production quality of the robots.
[00:48:40] There is also a striking warehouse in the factory.
[00:48:44] Although it is only 65 square meters, it can store
[00:48:48] 112 robots simultaneously. The fully automated system
[00:48:51] increases space efficiency by 50%. Robot production is rapidly
[00:48:54] increasing in China. According to data from the National
[00:48:57] Bureau of Statistics of China, industrial robot production
[00:49:00] increased by 30.2% year-on-year in July.
[00:49:04] The number of robots produced in the first 7 months of the year
[00:49:08] exceeded. China is strengthening its leadership in the global
[00:49:11] robotics race.
[00:49:32] meeting at 8 o'clock, the economic management under Mehmet Şimşek
[00:49:36] will gather and take steps to prevent this crisis
[00:49:40] from growing further, we will watch it all together. Tomorrow morning
[00:49:43] I will be here at 6 o'clock on Halk TV to wake you up
[00:49:47] with the last Good Morning Turkey of the week, Deniz Bayramoğlu
[00:49:51] will continue his broadcasts after me, please stay with us.
[00:50:08] To make the unheard heard, to say the unsaid,
[00:50:11] to show the unseen
[00:50:15] for.
[00:50:22] Aktan siyasete, pazardan piyasalara,
[00:50:25] to large supermarket shelves.
[00:50:39] Every weekday morning from 7 to 10,
[00:50:43] we will be together in this studio as Turkey
[00:50:45] wakes up to the day.
[00:51:01] Schools opened, the first bell rang, but the long-awaited
[00:51:05] demand for one free meal in schools was not met
[00:51:09] this academic year, educators and experts are angry,
[00:51:12] we asked parents: What could you put in your child's lunch
[00:51:15] bag, could you give your child pocket money?
[00:51:19] I made a toast, the child eats toast, and gets pocket money.
[00:51:22] but we supply at home, we meet the child's needs at home,
[00:51:25] we try to meet them, of course, of course, people
[00:51:28] want the child to have food
[00:51:32] at school, to feed people, there are those
[00:51:36] who can't afford it, there are those who can't even make a toast,
[00:51:39] the system should think about these things, really the honorable
[00:51:43] minister should give the reason, I don't know why, I am not
[00:51:47] authorized, I don't put a lunch in, because he has breakfast
[00:51:51] in the morning, he comes home around 1:30 in the afternoon.
[00:51:54] as a pensioner, with the minimum wage, of course 200 lira is difficult
[00:51:58] for children, now they are in 8th grade, we used to put food in when they
[00:52:01] were little, but now that they are in 8th grade, they don't want lunch, so they have to eat outside.
[00:52:05] The state gives everything from everywhere, but when it comes
[00:52:08] to children, to education, we cut everything, unfortunately,
[00:52:12] so it would be good if they gave things that we can put in our lunch
[00:52:15] bags, things that we can eat in our daily lives, we can't add
[00:52:19] anything extra, if you say daily pocket money,
[00:52:22] we give them small amounts, because the prices in our school
[00:52:26] canteens are especially much more expensive than outside,
[00:52:29] if you go to the parliament today, even in the parliament,
[00:52:33] they eat and drink everything
[00:52:36] at one-third of the price. Our children, I mean,
[00:52:39] just our transportation is a separate problem for us. Before leaving
[00:52:43] home in the morning, I still feed them milk and eggs,
[00:52:46] we try not to lack anything, but as I said, I am aware that
[00:52:50] we are a minority, because people raise their children
[00:52:53] under very difficult conditions, I am also in the school's
[00:52:57] parent-teacher association and people cannot
[00:53:00] afford notebooks, pencils,
[00:53:02] erasers, stationery, pocket money. So we have
[00:53:06] children coming to our room asking for water, our biggest
[00:53:09] money is 200 lira, even 200 lira, the child
[00:53:12] spends it in a day and comes back, I mean, the state should cover
[00:53:16] everything, I mean, we are in a state school, there shouldn't be such a thing
[00:53:19] as a private school if you ask me, the state should cover
[00:53:22] everything, because education is the future of the whole country,
[00:53:26] there should be a single type of education, everyone should have the right to
[00:53:29] education under equal conditions, I say, if the state
[00:53:32] can provide lunch, I would be very happy. "I mean,
[00:53:35] let there be two courses, but let the children eat something at school
[00:53:39] or three small courses, what do they eat for God's sake,
[00:53:43] I mean, what do they eat in a cafeteria style, don't let it
[00:53:46] be soup, I don't know, it spills easily, this and that,
[00:53:50] more healthy things, dietitians can arrange this, those
[00:53:53] who do this job, calorie counting, good lists can be made,
[00:53:56] the state can
[00:53:58] provide it if they want."
[00:56:29] to the future of our country. Turkish Education Foundation.
[00:56:33] We eat the most expensive food, we use the most expensive phones.
[00:56:37] To buy a house or a car, we have to work a lifetime. We asked
[00:56:40] the public: From food to phones, from houses to cars, why is everything
[00:56:43] most expensive here? The reason is this: there is no production
[00:56:46] economy, all investments made so far were
[00:56:50] consumer-oriented investments, there were no production-oriented
[00:56:53] investments, they did not open factories, they closed
[00:56:56] factories, now you cannot prevent
[00:56:59] expensiveness without production, you sell
[00:57:02] the bridge, you increase the price of diesel, for
[00:57:05] example... Eggplant, peppers, tomatoes produced
[00:57:09] in Antalya, these are taken to Istanbul
[00:57:13] by trucks, there are wholesalers in between.
[00:57:16] "They take their commission, so the expensiveness comes
[00:57:19] from there a bit, as long as this economic
[00:57:23] system continues like this, it's impossible,
[00:57:26] they can't fix the economy. Now there
[00:57:29] is expensiveness, of course, that's true, foreign
[00:57:33] capital, foreign brands, these have become very important
[00:57:36] in daily use now, but if we as a country
[00:57:40] protect our own values, if we produce
[00:57:44] and use our own phones, our own cars,
[00:57:47] I think we will overcome all of these, we still haven't
[00:57:50] solved that part, really inflation is rising
[00:57:54] quite a bit, salaries are quite low,
[00:57:58] childcare, then
[00:58:01] house rents, I don't know, it's quite complicated,
[00:58:04] we can't get out of it, the situation is not good
[00:58:08] because of this government, I have nothing else to say,
[00:58:12] because whatever we say is futile, really, it's because the country
[00:58:15] is not governed well, I mean, right now this country
[00:58:19] can probably take care of 180 million people, not just
[00:58:23] 85 million, but because of poor governance, or rather
[00:58:26] because the governors are not good, they load this expensiveness
[00:58:29] onto the people, it's really very difficult,
[00:58:33] it shouldn't be like this, we have children, what about us,
[00:58:37] there are those going to school, we need money to buy books and pencils,
[00:58:41] how will we buy them if there's no money, I barely pay the rent with my
[00:58:45] retirement salary, besides that, water... electricity,
[00:58:48] food, how will we make a living? Nothing will
[00:58:50] happen until the AKP leaves, the AKP must
[00:58:54] leave, they have to leave because there is no money,
[00:58:58] they are gone too, they have destroyed the nation,
[00:59:00] it's a sin, it's a sin against these people,
[00:59:04] I have never seen such a thing in his time,
[00:59:07] or in Ecevit's time, they took Ecevit away,
[00:59:10] nobody wanted him, Ecevit, why? He was an honest man,
[00:59:14] really, whoever the next government is, they should give
[00:59:17] money to workers, civil servants,
[00:59:21] pensioners, this country will have trade, and this country
[00:59:24] will get better, we have
[00:59:26] no other choice.
