[00:00:00] comprehensive evaluations are being made regarding the next stage before the draft law was submitted. and that this to be carried out in the "Terror-Free Turkey" process, was [00:00:08] It should not be, [00:00:11] the weapon should only be under a national umbrella [00:00:14] and under authority, [00:00:17] this is very important for this region, for the stability of the region, [00:00:21] of course, our stability here is very important for the stability [00:00:24] of the region and therefore throughout [00:00:28] the region. [00:00:35] Security in the same way here in the north, [00:00:39] ensuring tranquility and diplomacy prevailing, [00:00:42] as you know, in the south there are also constant attacks [00:00:45] by Israel, we [00:00:49] condemn these, [00:00:51] because they target our sovereignty and [00:00:55] our land, and this also harms [00:00:58] the stability of the region. From here, I once [00:01:01] again call for [00:01:03] a return to [00:01:07] the non-conflict line in [00:01:09] 1974. Here, of course, international [00:01:13] and other friendly countries are expected [00:01:16] to fulfill their responsibilities for the stability of both Syria and the region. [00:01:20] In terms of security, stability is still important [00:01:23] in the same way. [00:01:25] The [00:01:28] four seas. As you know, geography [00:01:31] and history are of great importance [00:01:34] to us, and are also important [00:01:38] in all international trade. We are connecting [00:01:41] a strategic railway line between Turkey, [00:01:44] Syria and Jordan and Saudi Arabia. This [00:01:48] line will form a geographical [00:01:51] and economic bridge between all these [00:01:54] countries, and will also strengthen [00:01:57] us in the diplomatic field. [00:02:09] will lead to, and in the common diplomatic field, as you know, [00:02:13] regional developments and [00:02:15] wars are closely [00:02:19] observed. The attacks [00:02:20] between the US and Iran must stop as soon as possible, [00:02:24] they are also affecting us and our [00:02:27] international interests. [00:02:31] Therefore, we also condemn the attacks [00:02:33] on the Gulf brother [00:02:37] Arab countries from here. [00:02:39] The stability of these brotherly [00:02:43] countries is really important because [00:02:46] it affects the security of the region and [00:02:49] forms part of its security. The strengthening of coordination [00:02:53] between countries in the region in the security, military [00:02:56] and political fields is important, and Syria [00:03:00] is under threat [00:03:04] from armed [00:03:06] militias on its borders. [00:03:10] The Syrian Arab Republic and its security and military institutions [00:03:14] are truly working with all their might to eliminate [00:03:17] all these threats. Security is important [00:03:20] for the protection of national security, [00:03:24] and we are working to overcome this with all our [00:03:28] technical and other capabilities. [00:03:40] We truly believe that those who return will form the foundation [00:03:44] of Syria and the new Syria, and [00:03:47] we are working on all these issues [00:03:50] like other services, health schools [00:03:54] and electricity etc., with Turkey, our brother [00:03:58] Turkey, our neighbor Turkey. [00:04:00] We are working in this way. [00:04:03] Our common border [00:04:06] is the longest border. We want there to be security [00:04:09] and well-being here, and for it to serve [00:04:13] the interests of the people of both countries. Thank you very much. [00:04:16] With your permission, we will take two questions from the press. The first question will be directed [00:04:18] to TRT Haber. [00:04:23] TRT Haber, Cansudoğan, I will have two questions. First, [00:04:26] I will direct them to the Syrian Foreign Minister Shibani. [00:04:30] As in all fields between Turkey and Syria, an acceleration [00:04:34] has also been achieved in the field of trade. We see that Turkey's [00:04:37] exports to Syria increased by 26% [00:04:40] in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period. At this point, [00:04:43] what is your goal for bilateral trade between Turkey [00:04:47] and Syria, and what steps do you plan [00:04:51] to take to achieve this goal? My next question [00:04:54] will be for Minister Fidan. Sir, how do you evaluate the latest [00:04:58] developments regarding the peace process in Gaza? [00:05:01] An important meeting was held. How do you interpret [00:05:04] Israel's support for its occupation activities [00:05:07] in the West Bank [00:05:22] Thank you. Undoubtedly, [00:05:25] Syria-Turkey relations are, of course, a priority [00:05:28] both strategically and regionally. As [00:05:31] you know, during the past war, [00:05:35] many Syrians were in Turkey. Now, of course, [00:05:38] we are especially working to improve [00:05:41] the economic environment [00:05:45] after the revolution. Turkey is a very [00:05:47] advanced country in this regard and will help us. [00:05:50] The development of trade, especially in border [00:05:54] regions, is important. [00:05:57] New free trade agreements and customs agreements [00:06:01] between the two countries are important. [00:06:04] Syria-Turkey relations, especially in the economic [00:06:08] field, should be a privileged relationship, [00:06:11] and this is an issue that concerns [00:06:22] as you know, our efforts to implement the Gaza Peace Plan [00:06:26] are continuing very intensely. Our Ministry [00:06:30] of Foreign Affairs and our National Intelligence Organization [00:06:33] are working together on this. Both the negotiations [00:06:37] with the parties and the strategic initiatives [00:06:41] that need to be prepared require serious effort. [00:06:44] Thank God, as a mediator, [00:06:48] we have so far achieved many things that seemed impossible, [00:06:52] dear friends, with intense effort. [00:06:55] Of course, here, the critical [00:06:59] leadership role played by our President needs [00:07:02] to be emphasized. However, while playing this role, [00:07:05] we always knew that no matter how impossible [00:07:09] it seemed to resolve and accept certain issues, [00:07:12] especially when this was advanced by [00:07:16] Palestine, Israel would always avoid [00:07:19] it and would not change its real goal in mind. [00:07:23] Therefore, we always knew and emphasized [00:07:26] that the international community and relevant actors must be vigilant [00:07:30] in this regard. Now, at the point we have reached, [00:07:34] especially in the transition to the second phase, [00:07:37] we see Israel dragging its feet, [00:07:40] because they absolutely do not want [00:07:43] to see a situation where they would be forced [00:07:47] to withdraw from Gaza [00:07:50] and Gaza would be managed by Gazans again. [00:07:54] However, the peace [00:07:57] plan was a plan that envisioned [00:08:01] this happening when certain [00:08:04] conditions were met. Now, the problems [00:08:08] that have emerged in its implementation [00:08:10] and the measures that need to be taken in this regard [00:08:14] were discussed in detail yesterday in Amman, both [00:08:18] in the broadly attended meeting and in our meeting [00:08:21] with the group known as the regional [00:08:24] quartet - Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi [00:08:27] Arabia. There is a series of diplomatic steps [00:08:31] that need to be taken until September. We decided [00:08:34] on them, and hopefully we will take them. [00:08:37] In September, there might be another comprehensive [00:08:40] meeting at the leaders' level [00:08:43] on this issue. In the past year, [00:08:46] the steps taken towards the implementation [00:08:49] of the peace plan, the violations here, [00:08:53] and what the international community and the actors [00:08:57] supporting this agreement can do, need to be discussed [00:09:00] in detail. One disadvantage regarding the ongoing [00:09:04] process in Gaza is, of course, [00:09:07] the ongoing conflict in the Gulf [00:09:11] and the global situation [00:09:14] that is openly affecting the Strait of Hormuz. [00:09:17] The fact that negotiations between Iran and America [00:09:21] have not been concluded is frankly preventing [00:09:24] the attention of both regional countries [00:09:27] and the international community from focusing [00:09:30] on Gaza. However, as I stated, as Turkey, we continue [00:09:33] to keep our attention there at the highest [00:09:37] possible level on all platforms. Our [00:09:40] work continues with our institutions. We have dedicated [00:09:43] directorates, colleagues, and teams working [00:09:46] there. There is no problem [00:09:50] here. Hopefully, the negotiations [00:09:53] between Iran and America will conclude [00:09:56] with good news today. Yesterday, we had the opportunity [00:10:00] to discuss this issue in detail [00:10:04] with our relevant colleagues in Amman. [00:10:07] The issue regarding the Strait contains [00:10:11] complications, technically. Of course, [00:10:14] Oman has a role to play. When you visualize the map, [00:10:18] you see that at one end is Iran [00:10:21] and at the other end is Oman, but in the middle [00:10:25] are international waters open [00:10:28] to navigation. We are talking about a passage. [00:10:32] It is not that narrow, but at the end of the day, [00:10:35] it is a place that can be affected. It is being worked [00:10:39] on how this place will be kept open for [00:10:42] transit with what mechanism and method. It is important [00:10:45] to reach an agreement on transit. Oil must flow [00:10:49] so that global oil and energy prices [00:10:53] do not rise. Secondly, [00:10:56] this should create a process [00:11:00] that allows for a permanent agreement. A 60-day process [00:11:04] is being discussed. If worked on well [00:11:07] within this 60-day period, a permanent agreement can be reached [00:11:11] between the parties. On other issues [00:11:15] apart from the strait, especially regarding nuclear [00:11:17] issues, we know that there are certain [00:11:21] principle agreements. Therefore, if both parties [00:11:26] show sincere will in this regard, a permanent [00:11:29] agreement can be reached. But first, the problem [00:11:33] related to the Strait must be solved. We continue our contributions [00:11:36] in that regard. As you can see, dear friends, all the problems [00:11:40] in the region have become intertwined. Now, [00:11:44] when you look at it from a higher perspective, [00:11:47] the question you see is: as Turkey, when we implement our diplomacy, [00:11:50] we see the connection between these problems and, [00:11:55] together with our regional allies and friends, [00:11:58] we are implementing a regional ownership [00:12:00] mechanism to take ownership of our problems in a comprehensive [00:12:04] manner. Of course, while doing this, [00:12:08] we will show the necessary solidarity with the international [00:12:11] community, our international allies, and international [00:12:14] organizations. But the problem has always been, as you know, [00:12:18] to always expect solutions from outside. Now, [00:12:22] the region is more conscious than before, and [00:12:25] there is a conscious effort to tackle [00:12:29] its problems with a regional ownership approach, [00:12:32] which has become a concept that Turkey [00:12:35] has put forward, and a stance [00:12:38] that our President has championed. [00:12:42] I sincerely believe that the steps to be taken [00:12:45] in this regard, both in the near future [00:12:48] and in the future, will bring more stability and peace to the region, [00:12:52] will relieve the burden on the international [00:12:56] community, and will contribute [00:12:59] to the stability of the international community, because our [00:13:03] region has incredible capacity, human capacity, [00:13:07] civilization capacity, [00:13:10] geography, resources, not to mention [00:13:14] energy resources. When all these come [00:13:18] into being in an environment [00:13:19] of peace, instability [00:13:22] will disappear. Of course, here, we also see that [00:13:30] there are actors who are enemies [00:13:33] of stability. We are vigilant enough, [00:13:37] and the necessary steps [00:14:06] Thank you very much, dear viewers. Syrian Foreign [00:14:10] Minister Shaybani made statements [00:14:13] in Ankara after his meeting with Foreign Minister Hakan [00:14:17] Fidan. [00:15:31] we are going through a historical process [00:15:33] in the process of a Turkey without terror. [00:15:37] We are talking about a process that started with the historical [00:15:41] move of MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli and [00:15:44] became a State project with the will shown [00:15:48] by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. After the submission of the bill [00:15:51] yesterday, an important stage has been reached. Today, [00:15:55] a surprise meeting will take place, [00:15:59] as it was not visible in President Erdoğan's official [00:16:02] program. At 2 PM, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan [00:16:05] will receive MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli at the Presidential [00:16:09] Complex in Beştepe. Yesterday, after the bill [00:16:12] was submitted to the Parliament, President Erdoğan made a statement [00:16:15] on his social media account. He extended his thanks [00:16:18] to MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli for his contributions [00:16:22] to the completion of the law and the success of the process. [00:16:25] Let's state that the main agenda item of the meeting [00:16:28] that will start at 2 PM today in Beştepe [00:16:32] will be the developments in the process of a Turkey [00:16:35] without terror. Both the stage reached so far [00:16:38] and the work to be carried out after [00:16:42] the bill will be comprehensively evaluated by the two [00:16:46] leaders of the People's Alliance. The first signatory was MHP [00:16:49] leader Devlet Bahçeli. He was one of the first signatories. [00:16:52] MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli was one of the names [00:16:55] who signed this bill before it was submitted [00:16:59] to the Parliament. The leaders will hold their third meeting [00:17:02] this year. They had previously held their meetings [00:17:05] at the Presidential Complex in Beştepe [00:17:08] on January 21 and April 30. [00:17:12] The Presidential Complex will host the third meeting [00:17:15] again. Based on our experience from previous [00:17:19] meetings, we expect today's meeting [00:17:21] to last between 45 minutes and 1 hour. [00:17:25] After this meeting, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan [00:17:28] will chair an important meeting of the National [00:17:32] Security Council, where the agenda [00:17:36] of a Turkey without terror will be highlighted. [00:17:40] As I mentioned, the developments [00:17:43] in the process of a Turkey without terror [00:17:46] will form the main agenda item of this meeting. [00:17:49] As seen in the bill submitted to the Parliament, [00:17:53] the National Security Council is given the confirmation [00:17:56] mechanism regarding the complete disbandment [00:17:59] of the PKK terrorist organization and the complete [00:18:03] surrender of weapons. In this context, [00:18:06] we expect the latest situation [00:18:12] on the ground to be discussed comprehensively, [00:18:15] accompanied by intelligence reports. A written [00:18:18] statement will be made after the meeting, as always. [00:18:21] Let's mention that the messages to be given regarding [00:18:25] the next stage in the process [00:18:30] of a Turkey without terror are highly anticipated. [00:18:33] Important statements [00:18:47] with the details of the statement from Doğancan Aksoy. As you also stated, [00:18:51] the main agenda item at the Ministry of National Defense's [00:18:53] weekly press briefing was the "Terror-Free Turkey" process. [00:18:57] The Ministry of National Defense underlined that great success [00:19:01] has been achieved in the fight against terrorism [00:19:05] thanks to the superior efforts of the security forces, and [00:19:08] emphasized that the greatest credit for this success [00:19:12] belongs to the martyrs, veterans, and their families. [00:19:16] The Ministry of National Defense stated that the complete [00:19:19] and permanent elimination of terrorism from the agenda [00:19:22] as a result of the "Terror-Free Turkey" process will make important [00:19:26] contributions not only to Turkey but also [00:19:30] to the peace, security, and stability of the region. [00:19:33] In this regard, "Terror-Free Turkey" was described [00:19:37] by the Ministry of National Defense as a strategic vision [00:19:41] that strengthens national security and contributes [00:19:44] to regional stability. The Ministry of National Defense [00:19:48] also underlined that the Turkish Armed Forces [00:19:51] will continue to fulfill their duties [00:19:55] and responsibilities [00:19:56] in this process [00:20:12] Turkey" process has been passed, as we all [00:20:15] witnessed. We shared the information coming [00:20:18] from the Parliament moment by moment. We are talking [00:20:22] about the bill to strengthen national [00:20:25] solidarity and social integration. It was submitted [00:20:34] over yet, of course. We will learn the details [00:20:50] of the 12-article bill and how the process will [00:20:54] proceed from Ayşegül Çoban, who is with us. The details [00:20:57] regarding the bill were shared yesterday. [00:21:00] Let me state that the process has begun. [00:21:04] Yesterday, the 12-article bill, with Parliament [00:21:07] Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş and MHP Chairman [00:21:11] Devlet Bahçeli as the first signatories, and signed [00:21:15] by all AK Party and MHP deputies [00:21:18] and nearly 360 deputies from different [00:21:21] parties, was submitted to the Parliament [00:21:24] Speaker's Office. What does the bill contain? [00:21:28] The first condition for the regulations is [00:21:31] the confirmation and determination that [00:21:34] the terrorist organization's de facto presence [00:21:37] with all its organizational structure and all its [00:21:41] elements under its control [00:21:45] was the critical threshold defined in the commission's [00:21:47] final report. After the determination of the security institutions, [00:21:51] the National Security Council's confirmation [00:21:53] decision will be published in the Official Gazette, [00:21:57] and the process will start after that. [00:22:01] The regulation, which will be valid for 6 months, [00:22:04] was prepared for a specific [00:22:07] period. Let me remind you that the bill covers [00:22:11] some crimes such as establishing, managing, [00:22:15] providing financial support, or making [00:22:19] propaganda for the PKK, KCK terrorist organization. [00:22:22] The bill brings some regulations regarding [00:22:26] both prosecution, investigation, and enforcement processes. [00:22:30] In investigations and prosecutions, [00:22:33] a postponement of 5-15 years can be made for crimes [00:22:37] requiring a prison sentence of up to 15 years, [00:22:40] and 10 years for crimes requiring a prison [00:22:44] sentence of more than 15 years. The same situation [00:22:47] applies to finalized sentences. In addition, [00:22:51] a dual mechanism with security and political [00:22:54] legs will be established to follow the process. [00:22:58] The disarmament [00:22:59] process will be carried [00:23:07] out under the coordination of the Ministry of National [00:23:10] Defense and the Ministry of Interior. The legislative [00:23:14] process begins tomorrow at 3:30 PM [00:23:17] with the Justice Commission discussions. We expect [00:23:20] the bill to come to the General Assembly on Sunday. [00:23:24] Let's state that the bill is definitely not a general [00:23:27] amnesty or a special status for individuals. [00:23:31] Those who commit [00:23:42] Very important leaders of the organization [00:23:46] cannot benefit. The discussions will start in the Justice [00:23:49] Commission tomorrow, and we will be following [00:23:52] the process. Now, ladies and gentlemen, [00:23:56] as you know, there is a sensitive [00:24:00] issue: unsolved murders and suspicious [00:24:03] deaths. The Ministry of Justice [00:24:07] has important work on this issue. Justice [00:24:11] Minister Akın Gürlek met separately [00:24:14] today with the families of former Special Operations [00:24:18] Department Head Behçet Oktay [00:24:21] and journalist Uğur Mumcu. We will get [00:24:25] the details of these meetings. Before [00:24:29] that, there were statements. Is there a new statement? [00:24:32] Is there any shared information about [00:24:35] the content of the meeting? We will get these [00:24:38] details from our news center. Belgin [00:24:42] Aydın is with us. As part of clarifying [00:24:45] unsolved cases, Justice Minister [00:24:48] Akın Gürlek held [00:24:55] two important meetings today. In the meeting [00:24:59] held early in the morning, [00:25:03] he met with the family of former Special [00:25:06] Operations Department [00:25:23] on February 25, 2009. However, his family [00:25:26] does not think so. They have demands [00:25:29] for this case to be reopened and for the trial [00:25:33] to be redone. These demands [00:25:36] were conveyed to Justice Minister [00:25:40] Akın Gürlek early [00:25:42] in the morning, and this meeting [00:25:46] was held. His son Burak Oktay and [00:25:50] his sister Şule Oktay were present at the meeting. [00:25:53] On the other hand, in the afternoon, [00:25:56] within the scope of these meetings, [00:26:00] Minister Akın Gürlek received Uğur Mumcu's [00:26:04] family. Uğur Mumcu also lost his life [00:26:07] in a bomb attack in front of his house [00:26:10] on January 24, 1993. His wife [00:26:13] Güldal Mumcu and his son Özgür Mumcu [00:26:16] were present at that meeting. Of course, it will be investigated. [00:26:20] The 69-page statement, [00:26:23] 20 pages of it, was about the documents found at his home. [00:26:27] Notebooks, notepads, hard disks, and SIM cards were examined [00:26:30] one by one. There were some [00:26:34] notable codes, names, encrypted [00:26:37] names, and numbers. He did not give very satisfactory [00:26:40] information about these. He said he made up some [00:26:43] names, and some of the notepads [00:26:46] he found in the trash had notes written before [00:26:50] him. These will be investigated one by one, of course. [00:26:53] In the meantime, two separate arrest warrants were issued for Burkay Karatepe. [00:26:57] Let's mention that too. One was related to the assassination [00:27:01] case that was concluded in 2017. The second [00:27:04] was referred to the Muğla High Criminal Court yesterday, and an [00:27:08] arrest warrant was issued from there. Another was related to the newly [00:27:11] opened investigation, the new indictment to be prepared. He [00:27:15] was also referred to the Duty Court. Following the two separate [00:27:18] arrest warrants, Burkay Karatepe was transferred to [00:27:22] Muğla E-Type Closed Prison. While [00:27:24] these developments were taking place, a complaint petition [00:27:28] from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan [00:27:31] was sent to the Muğla prosecutor's office. [00:27:35] President Erdoğan demanded that an investigation [00:27:38] be opened against Burkay Karatepe and those who helped him, [00:27:41] and that a public lawsuit be filed. [00:27:45] This demand and this petition were conveyed by President [00:27:49] Erdoğan's lawyers. Procedures regarding this have also [00:27:52] begun. Now, of course, the question is, [00:27:56] did Burkay Karatepe still have connections within the organization [00:27:59] during this 10-year period? With whom was he in contact? [00:28:02] What did these codes and names he noted [00:28:05] refer to? And where did this [00:28:08] money flow come from? These will be investigated and [00:28:12] brought to light [00:28:13] during the trial. [00:28:17] We will now look at the deepening investigation into the Ahbap Association. [00:28:21] The donations made by celebrities to the association were caught [00:28:24] in the MASAK investigation. The prepared report emphasized [00:28:28] that the total amount of money transfers reached millions [00:28:31] of liras. Which names donated how much? Actually, [00:28:35] perhaps more importantly, how did the Ahbap Association [00:28:38] use these millions of liras we are talking about? [00:28:41] Did it turn into aid, for example? We will try [00:28:56] by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office Organized Crime Investigation [00:28:59] Bureau into the Ahbap Association continues to deepen every day. [00:29:03] Of course, MASAK reports are also very important in this [00:29:07] context. The financial activity in the association's [00:29:10] accounts is being examined, and the high-amount [00:29:14] money movements in the MASAK reports [00:29:17] are attracting attention. The activity in the [00:29:20] accounts is actually attracting attention. At this point, [00:29:24] the donations exceeding millions made by many [00:29:28] famous singers, actors, presenters, and many [00:29:31] names from the media world [00:30:02] Singer Gökhan Tepe also donated 100,000 liras [00:30:06] to the association. These high-value donations [00:30:09] are included in the accounts. The donation of nearly [00:30:12] 1 million by actor and comedian Tolga Çevik is also noteworthy. [00:30:16] We are talking about a donation of 997,650 liras. [00:30:20] It is also among the findings that actor Halit Ergenç [00:30:24] donated 400,000 liras in two separate transactions. [00:30:27] Of course, artist Genco Erkal [00:30:30] also made a donation of 500,000. Chef and television presenter [00:30:34] Somer Sivrioğlu's donation of 500,000 liras to the [00:30:38] association's accounts is also included. Comedian Hasan [00:30:40] Cankaya's 320,000 liras is also among [00:30:44] the high-value donations. There are dozens of names. [00:30:48] High-value donations from many singers, actors, presenters, [00:30:51] and names from the media world reflected [00:30:54] in the MASAK reports. So, is making these donations [00:30:58] and the presence of these names on this list a crime? [00:31:10] It is stated that it means those who suffered harm and [00:31:14] are victims of the crime. As we said, the investigation [00:31:17] continues to deepen every day. We will continue to report [00:31:21] on new developments [00:31:21] as they happen. [00:31:28] Yes, dear viewers, two more people were detained [00:31:31] in Izmir within the scope of the investigation into allegations [00:31:35] of bid rigging in Ege Şehir, a subsidiary of the Metropolitan Municipality. [00:31:39] One of those detained was Hür Ağbaba, [00:31:42] the brother of Veli Ağbaba, a New Party Malatya [00:31:45] deputy. We will learn the latest situation in the investigation [00:32:00] were detained in the investigation carried out within the scope [00:32:03] of the urban transformation project in Karşıyaka's Örnek [00:32:07] neighborhood by the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality. [00:32:10] One of the detained suspects was Hür Ağbaba, [00:32:13] the brother of Veli Ağbaba, a New Party Malatya [00:32:17] deputy. He was among the suspects [00:32:20] detained. Let's state that the suspects' procedures [00:32:24] at the police station are still ongoing. They have not yet [00:32:27] been referred to the courthouse, and let's [00:32:31] look at the details of the investigation. In the investigation carried [00:32:35] out by the Izmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, two suspects were identified [00:32:38] as being in contact with Süleyman II, the General Manager of Ege Şehir, [00:32:41] who is currently in custody. The suspects were from Malatya [00:32:48] and among these suspects was Hür Ağbaba, the brother [00:32:52] of Veli Ağbaba. This is the second operation, [00:32:56] we can say the second wave of operations. The first operation [00:32:59] took place in May. On May 23rd, 4 people, [00:33:02] including Süleyman Ekinci, the General Manager of Egeşehir, [00:33:06] were arrested on charges of establishing an organization [00:33:09] to commit a crime, being a member of an organization, [00:33:12] and bid rigging. We said that [00:33:15] two people were detained yesterday within the scope of the second [00:33:19] operation. Their procedures at the police station are still ongoing. [00:33:23] So what are the allegations? Let's touch upon this last. [00:33:26] It is alleged that they were involved in both the tender and [00:33:30] the inspection process of the same housing construction work. [00:33:34] We can say that this situation was taken [00:33:37] under judicial follow-up in terms of conflict of interest [00:33:40] and irregularity control mechanism, [00:33:48] Now, in Istanbul, Bahçelievler, there was a six-story [00:33:51] evacuated building that was previously [00:33:55] evacuated as a precaution. That building collapsed. [00:33:58] Some surrounding buildings were also evacuated as a precaution, [00:34:02] because there could be damage to nearby buildings [00:34:05] during the collapse, and a similar risk could exist. [00:34:09] On the other hand, the demolition of risky buildings [00:34:12] is continuing in the same [00:34:31] buildings in the same street in the neighborhood have been evacuated [00:34:35] as a precaution after yesterday's collapse. However, [00:34:38] the building next to it was also damaged during the collapse, [00:34:42] so it was an evacuated building. Let's specifically mention that. [00:34:45] It is currently being demolished by municipal teams in a controlled [00:34:49] manner. My cameraman friend Yunus Şaban Yaman is showing [00:34:52] it on your screens. On the one hand, many buildings on the street [00:34:55] have been evacuated. Actually, a much bigger disaster was prevented [00:34:59] a day before yesterday's collapse thanks to the residents' [00:35:03] awareness and the municipality's quick intervention. The building [00:35:06] in the image currently on screen is the damaged building that [00:35:10] is being demolished in a controlled manner. It is actually [00:35:13] the building behind [00:35:23] it. When we talked to the neighborhood residents, they also stated [00:35:26] that they heard noises from the building. Then, the municipality [00:35:30] teams were notified, and after the teams came [00:35:33] and inspected, the building was immediately sealed and evacuated. [00:35:37] Then, security measures were taken around, [00:35:41] and in less than 24 hours, the building completely [00:36:01] collapsed. It was one of the evacuated buildings, but [00:36:04] including many buildings next to it, [00:36:07] citizens' belongings are currently inside. [00:36:11] Evacuations are taking place with yesterday's collapse. [00:36:14] On the other hand, municipal teams also state [00:36:17] that urban transformation work has been initiated [00:36:20] in almost all buildings in the region. This [00:36:24] is a 6-story building. On the one hand, [00:36:27] the residents of the building, along with the neighborhood [00:36:31] residents, are watching the remains of that building. [00:36:34] When you look at it, a very difficult demolition [00:36:38] is taking place in this building because, as the officials [00:36:41] stated, strengthening work was done in this building. [00:36:45] Now, many buildings, including yesterday's [00:36:47] collapsed building, were completed in 1988. So, [00:36:51] when you look at it, they are very old buildings. [00:36:55] Strengthening work was done in the building [00:36:57] and currently being demolished. [00:36:59] It is stated that the columns are very strong, [00:37:03] but with the shaking the collapse, [00:37:07] this is one of the buildings where controlled demolition [00:37:11] is being carried out. However, the work [00:37:15] started at this point as of last night, [00:37:18] and the controlled demolition work continues from the early [00:37:22] hours of the morning in Bahçelievler. [00:37:25] Thankfully, no one was harmed thanks to that awareness. [00:37:29] Search and rescue efforts were also carried out yesterday, [00:37:32] but since it was determined that no one was under the rubble, [00:37:46] in an apartment there, and unfortunately, [00:37:49] a 91-year-old woman living alone [00:37:53] lost her life. In the Şahinbey district, [00:37:57] you see the Kılınçoğlu neighborhood. [00:37:59] The fire you are watching broke out on the second [00:38:03] floor of an apartment building for an unknown reason. [00:38:06] Firefighters, police, and medical teams were immediately [00:38:09] dispatched to the area upon notification. The fire [00:38:12] was extinguished by the firefighters, but it was determined [00:38:15] that the 91-year-old woman living alone [00:38:18] in the house had died. [00:38:31] stop will be Greece. As you know, Europe is struggling [00:38:35] with fires, but of course, it's not always [00:38:38] forest fires, not fires caused by heat. There is a situation [00:38:42] where strong winds intensify the flames, [00:38:45] and the fire engulfed the entire neighborhood in seconds. [00:38:49] The images are from Porto Germeno in Greece. Camera [00:38:52] recordings regarding the forest fire that has been ongoing [00:38:56] for days have also emerged. In the images recorded [00:38:59] by a camera on a house balcony, the flames are seen [00:39:02] gradually engulfing the neighborhood. The fire spread within minutes, [00:39:06] eventually reaching the balcony where the camera was located. [00:39:09] In the Attica region, where these images were recorded, [00:39:13] more than 130,000 acres turned to ash in a week. [00:39:16] The extent of the damage left by the fire has not yet [00:39:20] been fully determined. However, when these fires, [00:39:24] forest fires, combine with extreme heat and strong [00:39:27] winds, they advance rapidly in a very short time, [00:39:31] dear viewers. And as you see, in this [00:39:34] area in Greece, they have reached residential areas. [00:39:37] The fire progresses so fast at the moments the camera [00:39:41] is recording that the camera [00:39:48] to another point. Our stop will be New York. [00:39:51] There are images of flames engulfing [00:39:54] a five-story apartment building. Firefighters are intervening. [00:39:57] You can see that there are very [00:40:01] active flames. These images are from the Bronx [00:40:04] area in New York City, USA. [00:40:08] The fire that broke out in a five-story apartment building [00:40:11] spread quickly. 11 people, including [00:40:15] four firefighters, were injured in the fire, dear viewers. [00:40:18] Firefighters brought the fire under control [00:40:21] after hours of work. But why did such [00:40:25] a fire break out? This is currently being investigated. [00:40:34] Our next stop is India, dear viewers. [00:40:38] You see a passenger plane taking off from Phuket [00:40:41] Island, Thailand, heading to New Delhi, [00:40:44] the capital of India. This plane entered turbulence. [00:40:48] The plane suddenly, in seconds, [00:40:51] lost about 300 feet of altitude, and [00:40:55] the chaos inside the plane... [00:40:58] Suitcases fell to the floor, and there was a great [00:41:01] panic in the cabin at these moments. Passengers who were not [00:41:04] wearing seatbelts were unfortunately thrown around. [00:41:08] Those warnings before the plane took off are important. [00:41:12] This is exactly where they show their importance. [00:41:15] 17 people who did not buckle their seatbelts [00:41:19] were injured. The plane landed in New Delhi. [00:41:28] Images from the Andalusia region will come now. [00:41:32] A female athlete was stranded in a difficult part [00:41:35] of the Garganta Verde canyon, and she was also [00:41:39] injured. Of course, this made the situation [00:41:41] much more difficult. The teams immediately took [00:41:45] action, dear viewers. A rescue operation was launched [00:41:48] for the athlete stranded in the Garganta Verde canyon. [00:41:52] First, the athlete was reached through narrow and rugged [00:41:56] paths. Then, the injured athlete was placed on a stretcher. [00:41:59] They returned through the same difficult paths. [00:42:03] The injured athlete was transferred to the hospital [00:42:06] with the stretcher attached to a helicopter. The breathtaking [00:42:10] operation was recorded second by second by a body [00:42:13] camera, a head camera. [00:42:22] The filming of TRT's "A Century of Night" series, [00:42:26] which brought FETÖ's treacherous coup attempt on July 15th [00:42:29] to the screen, has been completed. The scenes using two tanks [00:42:33] brought to the set established on the July 15th Martyrs [00:42:37] Bridge were portrayed in a realistic manner. We will take a closer [00:42:40] look at the scenes now. [00:42:46] One of the symbolic points of the night of July 15th [00:42:49] that was etched in memories was the July 15th Martyrs [00:42:53] Bridge. The filming of TRT's "A Century of Night" [00:42:57] series, which brought FETÖ's treacherous coup attempt [00:42:59] to the screen, has been completed on the July 15th Martyrs [00:43:03] Bridge. Two tanks were brought to the set, which lasted [00:43:06] for three days. The moments when the treacherous coup [00:43:47] and whose water I drank. The FETÖist traitors [00:43:51] who closed the July 15th Martyrs Bridge with armored [00:43:54] vehicles opened fire indiscriminately on the resisting citizens. [00:43:57] 34 people, including two policemen, were martyred while resisting [00:44:01] the coup plotters. Akıncı is the heart of this work, [00:44:04] and Güvercinlik is its main artery. The script of the series [00:44:08] was inspired by lawyer Hüseyin Aydın's book [00:44:12] "A Century of Night: [00:51:57] Let's start with Borsa Istanbul without wasting time. The Borsa Istanbul [00:52:01] 100 index is trading at 13,769 points. [00:52:05] You are seeing the instant values. Stock prices [00:52:08] have gained an average of 0.47% [00:52:12] as of now, but closing values will be followed. [00:52:15] Let's look at the exchange rate. Dollar TL is at [00:52:18] 47.5904.

Silver [00:52:33] is trading at 94.661. Let's look at Brent [00:52:36] crude oil, which has fallen below [00:52:40] 80 dollars. Of course, we are following a slight [00:52:44] pullback in the US-Iran issue during a period [00:52:48] when rhetoric regarding negotiations has also increased. [00:52:51] The price of a barrel of oil is reflected as [00:52:54] 79.85 dollars. We mentioned gram gold earlier. [00:52:57] Let's also look at its derivatives.

"The busy agenda [00:59:32] also continues. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will receive MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli [00:59:35] at Beştepe today. Has the meeting started, [00:59:39] since the time was announced as 2 PM? Let's learn about this development [00:59:42] and expectations regarding its content. Ahmet Yılmaz is with us [00:59:45] with the details. Let's share the information [00:59:48] that the meeting has not started yet. It will start shortly. [00:59:52] I'm looking at my phone right now for the message that came in [00:59:55] regarding whether Bahçeli's reception has started or not, [00:59:59] I apologize. And the information that the reception has started [01:00:03] was shared by the Presidency's Directorate of Communications. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan [01:00:07] is currently receiving MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli at the Presidential Complex. [01:00:10] This is the third meeting of the year. Important developments are taking place [01:00:14] in the "Terror-Free Turkey" process. Yesterday, the draft law [01:00:18] for the "Terror-Free Turkey" goal was submitted to the Parliament Speaker's Office. [01:00:21] MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli was one of the first signatories. [01:00:25] Yesterday, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also made a statement on his social media account [01:00:28] after the draft law was submitted to the Parliament, and conveyed his thanks [01:00:32] to MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli for his contributions to the completion [01:00:36] of the draft law and the success of the process. [01:00:38] Actually, the "Terror-Free Turkey" process started with MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli's historic move, [01:00:42] his historic call, and became a state project [01:00:44] with the will put forward by President Erdoğan. Many stages have been passed so far, [01:00:48] and with the submission of the draft law to the Parliament Speaker's Office yesterday, [01:00:51] another important threshold has been crossed. So far, the two leaders of the People's Alliance [01:00:54] have held many meetings regarding the success of the process. [01:00:57] We foresee that in the ongoing meeting at Beştepe,
