[00:00:19] Sir, let's say hello to the new day and
[00:00:23] continue to convey the developments. We are with you with the second part of the night's glance,
[00:00:27] and we are starting immediately to convey the developments. While a
[00:00:30] new stage is being entered in the Turkey without terror process,
[00:00:33] diplomatic activity with regional countries is naturally continuing
[00:00:37] dear viewers. Syrian Foreign Minister Sheibani
[00:00:41] came to Ankara. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and MIT
[00:00:44] Head İbrahim Kalın met separately with Sheibani.
[00:00:47] In the meetings, the integration of armed groups,
[00:00:51] especially the SDG, into the legitimate government
[00:00:54] in Syria was
[00:00:55] discussed.
[00:01:01] Syrian Foreign Minister Asad Hasan Sheibani was in Ankara after
[00:01:05] a new stage was implemented in the Turkey without terror process.
[00:01:08] Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with his counterpart Sheibani.
[00:01:12] On the agenda was the integration of armed groups into the Central Government
[00:01:15] in Syria.
[00:01:18] The integration of all armed elements and so-called formations under a
[00:01:21] central and legitimate national structure is vital for the unity
[00:01:25] of Syria and the stability of our region.
[00:01:28] Foreign Minister Fidan strongly emphasized
[00:01:32] the importance of the issue for Turkey. It is not possible
[00:01:35] for us to separate the prosperity and stability
[00:01:38] of Turkey and Syria. Destabilizing activities
[00:01:42] occurring in any corner of Syria also pose
[00:01:45] a threat to Turkey.
[00:01:47] Syrian Foreign Minister Sheibani
[00:01:50] stated that the fight against terrorism is the main
[00:01:53] element in the cooperation between Ankara and Damascus.
[00:01:56] ensuring its
[00:02:08] protection is of utmost importance. The successful conclusion
[00:02:11] of this process will serve our common
[00:02:14] interests.
[00:02:18] Syrian Foreign Minister Sheibani met with him. During the meeting,
[00:02:22] the implications of the draft law regarding the Turkey without terror
[00:02:25] process for Syria were discussed. Constructive steps were taken
[00:02:29] towards the integration of the SDG
[00:02:39] Sir, Iran announced that an agreement had been reached
[00:02:42] with Oman regarding a route to be established for the safe
[00:02:45] passage of commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:02:48] Now, it has been announced that the joint statement is in its
[00:02:52] final stage. American media, however, reports that the ships
[00:02:55] are coming from Hormuz, but the Hormuz crisis has not yet been resolved,
[00:02:59] sir. Now, we will turn our cameras to Washington.
[00:03:02] Tuna Şanlı is waiting for us. We will get the behind-the-scenes
[00:03:05] of what is being discussed about this crisis from him. Now,
[00:03:08] Tuna, actually, I had prepared a few questions for you, but
[00:03:12] right when I was on air, Trump spoke and said completely
[00:03:15] different things. He said the war with Iran would end very soon,
[00:03:19] actually, and there's much more. Let's start with this first. What
[00:03:22] did Trump say? Which headlines
[00:03:24] stood out?
[00:03:29] Washington. A moment ago, in the Oval Office, Donald Trump
[00:03:32] signed two presidential decrees. These are not presidential
[00:03:35] decrees about Iran, but during this time, he made statements
[00:03:39] in response to questions about Iran and said that this war would end
[00:03:43] soon. He had made these statements before, frequently.
[00:03:47] Therefore, Donald Trump's statements about the war ending
[00:03:51] coincided with the period after the market closed. But,
[00:03:54] it doesn't seem to have created any excitement in post-closing
[00:03:57] transactions either. In addition to this, Donald Trump.
[00:04:01] When asked if an agreement had been reached to reopen the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:04:05] he said, "I cannot say that such an agreement exists
[00:04:08] right now, but this strait is open and
[00:04:10] under our control." We know that he has said
[00:04:14] this frequently before, but there is a completely different
[00:04:18] reality on the ground. Whenever Trump makes statements in this
[00:04:21] direction, Iran fires at ships and tankers passing through the strait,
[00:04:25] and then Central Command (CENTCOM) hits targets in Iran. Therefore,
[00:04:28] the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear
[00:04:32] program, but especially these days, the Strait of Hormuz
[00:04:35] is the most critical issue. Therefore, the statements are
[00:04:38] in this tone, and among Trump's statements, there were also
[00:04:41] expressions that because the Strait of Hormuz is
[00:04:45] open, oil prices have fallen, and this has resulted in
[00:04:48] a decrease in gasoline prices in the United States.
[00:04:52] This also actually indicates that there has been
[00:04:55] a decrease in gasoline prices in the United States for the past
[00:04:59] few days. Although it's a small amount, there may be
[00:05:02] a slight increase in the number of oil tankers
[00:05:05] passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Here, of course, Venezuela
[00:05:09] is another equation. That is, the number of oil passing
[00:05:12] through the Strait of Hormuz. Even if the number of oil tankers
[00:05:16] has not increased, the reduction of gasoline
[00:05:19] prices in the United States in conjunction with oil
[00:05:22] purchased from Venezuela is also a possibility.
[00:05:26] Therefore, the Strait of Hormuz is actually a region
[00:05:30] that has been the scene of conflicting statements
[00:05:33] on this issue, and we need to pay more attention
[00:05:37] to the news coming from
[00:05:47] but in reality, there is no such picture. Yes, now,
[00:05:51] uh, thank you for the information you have conveyed.
[00:05:55] I would like to continue with another question. Now, there is
[00:05:58] an allegation that is stirring up the Washington backstage.
[00:06:01] And according to the allegation, President Trump reacted strongly
[00:06:05] to Defense Secretary Heckset regarding the rapidly
[00:06:08] depleting missile stocks due to the Iran war.
[00:06:12] Actually, many news websites published this. Of course, the White House denied
[00:06:16] these reports, but we are
[00:06:21] wondering how these allegations are evaluated in the Washington
[00:06:24] backstage. Do you think there are differences
[00:06:28] of opinion within the administration, especially regarding Iran
[00:06:31] policy and military preparations? This is frequently discussed
[00:06:35] in Washington, Nisa. That is, especially since the start
[00:06:38] of the Iran war, there have been numerous reports
[00:06:42] about differences of opinion between Trump and Heckset.
[00:06:46] This was the latest of them, and as you just said,
[00:06:49] the White House denied it, and Trump also issued
[00:06:52] a written statement a few hours ago and denied this news.
[00:06:56] He said he trusts Heckset very much and that he has done a
[00:06:59] great job. He said he has done a great job in Venezuela
[00:07:03] in a very short time. He is also doing a great
[00:07:06] job in Iran, and I trust him very much.
[00:07:09] So, Trump also denied this news, but
[00:07:13] especially when you listen to the whispers
[00:07:16] in the United States, the Washington backstage,
[00:07:19] it was claimed that Trump reprimanded Defense Secretary
[00:07:23] Pete Heckset, especially regarding depleting missile
[00:07:26] stocks and ammunition, and that due to the reckless use
[00:07:30] of ammunition in the Iran war, the United States'
[00:07:34] war preparedness was weakening, and that Heckset was
[00:07:37] accused in this regard. Actually, today Donald Trump
[00:07:40] made a statement on this issue, but his statement on ammunition
[00:07:43] contains contradictions, Nisya. What did Donald Trump say?
[00:07:47] Yes, the United States possesses an enormous amount
[00:07:50] of ammunition, especially in certain types. Now,
[00:07:54] this statement denies that news, but I'm reading the last sentence
[00:07:57] of this statement. Let me remind our viewers of the news in one
[00:08:00] sentence: It was news that some information regarding
[00:08:03] the depletion of United States ammunition stocks was leaked
[00:08:07] from the Pentagon. Now, if we go back to Donald Trump's
[00:08:10] statement, Trump ends his statement by saying:
[00:08:13] Those who leaked these treasonous statements will be
[00:08:16] pursued, and long prison sentences will be demanded.
[00:08:20] So, there is information that was leaked. Therefore,
[00:08:23] Donald Trump, in the same message, both denied that ammunition
[00:08:27] stocks were depleting and admitted it, confirmed
[00:08:30] it. Therefore, it contains
[00:08:39] as in other statements. Now, I want to ask one
[00:08:43] last question, Tuna, because this is also extremely
[00:08:47] important. The issue of citizenship also interests
[00:08:50] many people. Now, US media wrote that Trump would sign an executive order today
[00:08:54] aimed at preventing the granting of citizenship
[00:08:58] to children born in the US under birth tourism for commercial
[00:09:02] purposes. Now, children born in the US become American
[00:09:05] citizens, but Trump had said he would end this. I assume
[00:09:07] he will end it today. Have the
[00:09:12] relevant executive orders been signed? What is being discussed
[00:09:16] about this? They have been signed. Minutes
[00:09:20] ago, he signed these executive orders. He signed two
[00:09:23] executive orders. I will explain the details shortly,
[00:09:27] but let me remind our viewers, Nisa, that about 1.5 years ago,
[00:09:31] he signed a similar executive order, even an executive
[00:09:34] order that completely restricted birthright citizenship.
[00:09:38] Afterwards, the issue was taken to court, and after going
[00:09:40] all the way to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court overturned
[00:09:44] Trump's executive order. Therefore, Trump is currently
[00:09:47] challenging the Supreme Court. He signed a second executive
[00:09:51] order today, two executive orders at once, and
[00:09:54] he narrowed the scope compared to the executive orders
[00:09:57] he signed 1.5 years ago and which were blocked by the Supreme
[00:10:01] Court. Now, let me read you the first of the two executive
[00:10:04] orders. The first of the executive orders broadens the definition
[00:10:07] of individuals who cannot benefit from birthright
[00:10:10] citizenship. Accordingly,
[00:10:13] a broad segment of people, including enemies of the United
[00:10:17] States, members of terrorist organizations, and those
[00:10:20] lobbying and acting on behalf of foreign governments,
[00:10:24] will not be able to benefit from birthright citizenship.
[00:10:27] This means that even if these people come to the United
[00:10:30] States and give birth to their babies, those babies
[00:10:33] will not be given passports according to this executive order. The second executive
[00:10:36] order, on the other hand,
[00:10:39] covers those who come to the United States
[00:10:42] with false pretenses, with some visa irregularities,
[00:10:46] and then benefit from the birth tourism practice
[00:10:49] by giving birth. Therefore, the issue
[00:10:52] of birthright citizenship is once again on the agenda
[00:10:56] in the United States. This was an executive order
[00:11:00] that aimed to take away this right from people
[00:11:03] who come to the United States to give birth
[00:11:07] with even a tourist visa, just to make their children
[00:11:10] American citizens, as you just mentioned. He narrowed
[00:11:13] its scope so that it would not be blocked by the Supreme
[00:11:17] Court again. However, while narrowing its scope,
[00:11:20] by adding definitions such as members of terrorist
[00:11:24] organizations or individuals lobbying against the United
[00:11:28] States to this law, and by framing it within
[00:11:31] national security, Donald Trump wants to prevent
[00:11:35] the Supreme Court from blocking this executive order this time.
[00:11:38] If this issue is taken to court again in the coming
[00:11:41] weeks or months, there will undoubtedly be discussions
[00:11:44] between the Trump administration
[00:12:07] with Gaza this time. The second phase of the ceasefire
[00:12:10] in Gaza has caused a rift between the United States and
[00:12:13] genocidal Israel. Israeli press wrote that differences
[00:12:17] of opinion have emerged. Murderer Netanyahu's close
[00:12:21] associate was sent to solve the crisis in the Washington-Tel Aviv
[00:12:30] line. The second phase of the ceasefire in Gaza
[00:12:34] brought with it a new difference of opinion between Washington
[00:12:38] and Tel Aviv. The Israeli press wrote that Rondermer,
[00:12:41] a close associate of killer Netanyahu, went to Washington
[00:12:44] to defuse the diplomatic crisis.
[00:12:48] According to Haris Newspaper, genocidal Israel conveyed
[00:12:52] its objections to the agreement reached with Hamas to the
[00:12:55] US after the text was announced. This caused great anger in the Trump
[00:12:59] administration.
[00:13:03] Israel opposes the storage of collected weapons from Hamas
[00:13:06] in Gaza, Turkey and Qatar taking part in the mechanism
[00:13:09] to supervise the implementation of the agreement, and
[00:13:13] the restriction of the Israeli army's freedom of military
[00:13:16] movement in some areas.
[00:13:20] Israeli domestic politics also became complicated.
[00:13:23] The far-right coalition partner, who opposed the agreement,
[00:13:27] demanded that Netanyahu convene
[00:13:30] the cabinet. The Gaza Peace Council, on the other
[00:13:33] hand, had announced that Hamas had accepted the roadmap
[00:13:37] for the second phase of the ceasefire. Trump had also announced
[00:13:40] that an agreement had been reached with Hamas and other
[00:13:44] armed groups in Gaza on laying down arms. Hamas
[00:13:47] emphasizes that the implementation of the second phase depends
[00:13:50] on Israel fully fulfilling
[00:13:55] its obligations in the first phase. Now, dear viewers,
[00:13:58] we always talk about the Iran-US war these days, but
[00:14:01] another war is continuing between Russia and Ukraine.
[00:14:04] Tensions between Russia and Ukraine are quite
[00:14:08] high these days. Ukraine again targeted
[00:14:11] energy facilities and an e-commerce company in Russia.
[00:14:14] Two people died. Russia retaliated against Ukraine.
[00:14:17] Three people lost their lives. The Russian army also
[00:14:21] continues to strike Ukrainian ships in the Black Sea.
[00:14:28] The oil refinery in Russia's Yaroslavl region became
[00:14:32] the target of Ukrainian drones. A fire broke out at the facility,
[00:14:36] which is among the country's five largest refineries,
[00:14:39] and smoke covered the sky. The Bashneft Novoil refinery
[00:14:43] was also hit by Ukraine. Ukraine is also continuing
[00:14:47] its attacks on Russia's e-commerce company Wildberries.
[00:14:49] Most recently, the logistics center in the Tver region,
[00:14:53] which was targeted by attacks
[00:14:55] on August 4, was again damaged due to fallen drone parts.
[00:14:59] Two people died and 8 people were injured in Ukraine's
[00:15:03] drone attacks on Russia. Russia also retaliated against
[00:15:06] Ukraine. Three people lost their lives in air strikes
[00:15:09] on different regions. Four people were also injured
[00:15:12] in a drone attack by Russian forces on Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia
[00:15:16] city. The Russian Ministry of Defense also announced
[00:15:19] that they had hit two Ukrainian
[00:15:23] ships carrying military cargo in the Black Sea with drones.
[00:15:26] Sir, now we will go to another place. We will
[00:15:30] say the Pacific Ocean, because tensions are rising
[00:15:34] in the Pacific Ocean as well. Japan is experiencing tensions
[00:15:38] with North and South Korea. Mutual military moves
[00:15:41] are further escalating the tension. North Korea
[00:15:45] responded to Japan's military actions with a warning
[00:15:48] that it would consider additional military options.
[00:15:52] It allegedly tested
[00:15:52] a ballistic missile.
[00:15:57] South Korea's exercise in disputed waters also
[00:16:01] drew Japan's reaction. On the Japan, South Korea
[00:16:04] and North Korea axis, eventful days are being experienced.
[00:16:12] In the escalating tension with mutual steps,
[00:16:15] the parties accuse each other or lay claim to rights.
[00:16:19] Japan's military activities in the region draw the reaction
[00:16:22] of both North and South Korea. The source of the tension
[00:16:26] in the Tokyo-Seoul line is the islands called Dokdo or Takeshima.
[00:16:30] Seoul's response to Japan's claim of rights over the islands
[00:16:32] was to start an exercise
[00:16:35] in the disputed waters between the two countries.
[00:16:39] Following this, the two countries exchanged protests.
[00:16:43] The Tokyo-Pyongyang line is also coming. Japan's
[00:16:46] military activity. Tokyo first tested an American-made
[00:16:49] long-range Tomahawk missile. It also held a joint
[00:16:53] exercise with the United States and the Philippines off the coast.
[00:16:57] These developments worried North Korea. The Pyongyang
[00:17:00] administration claimed that Tokyo was accelerating
[00:17:04] the armament process in the region. It announced that it would
[00:17:07] consider additional military options. After this
[00:17:10] statement, South Korea
[00:17:19] claimed that the North had used an unidentified ammunition.
[00:17:23] The Tokyo administration, on the other hand, made the
[00:17:27] allegation that North Korea had launched a ballistic
[00:17:30] missile into the Sea of Japan. Sir, we are continuing
[00:17:33] our bulletin with domestic politics. New Party Chairman
[00:17:36] Özgür Özel met with his party's deputies to discuss
[00:17:39] the draft law on strengthening
[00:17:41] national solidarity and social
[00:17:44] integration. In his statement after the meeting, he said,
[00:17:47] "We made our evaluations, and we will cast our vote
[00:17:50] during the general assembly phase."
[00:17:53] He evaluated the draft law on strengthening national
[00:17:57] solidarity and social integration. He said that they would participate
[00:18:00] in the general assembly phase and cast their votes. New Party
[00:18:03] Chairman Özgür Özel met with his party's deputies
[00:18:07] in the parliament on the agenda of Turkey without terror.
[00:18:11] Today, we held a meeting with our colleagues who served
[00:18:14] in the commission and with the valuable members
[00:18:17] of the Constitutional and Justice
[00:18:20] commissions. Actually, our colleagues will present
[00:18:23] their evaluations, criticisms, and suggestions regarding
[00:18:26] the draft and the proposal tomorrow
[00:18:29] during the commission stage. Özgür Özel answered
[00:18:33] journalists' questions after the meeting.
[00:18:37] He was going to say that they would make
[00:18:40] the necessary contribution during the commission
[00:18:44] discussions of the draft law regarding the goal
[00:18:47] of Turkey without terror, but he made a slip
[00:18:50] of the tongue. He said CHP instead of the name
[00:18:54] of his own party. He corrected his statement
[00:18:57] after being warned by party members. Generally,
[00:19:00] as the Republican People's Party, we
[00:19:03] naturally, besides technically evaluating
[00:19:06] the issue. Thank you. As the New Party,
[00:19:09] we made a technical evaluation
[00:19:11] and a political evaluation one after
[00:19:15] another and intertwined. In the next process,
[00:19:18] our colleagues will make the necessary criticisms,
[00:19:21] suggestions, and contributions in the commission.
[00:19:33] Sir, the Soil Products Office determined the purchase
[00:19:37] prices for in-shell hazelnuts for the 2026-2020
[00:19:40] period. The price per kilogram of Giresun
[00:19:44] quality hazelnuts was 255 liras. The price
[00:19:47] per kilogram of Levant quality hazelnuts was
[00:19:50] 250 liras. In-shell
[00:19:52] hazelnut purchases will
[00:19:57] begin on August 24. Black Sea hazelnut producers
[00:20:00] have completed their preparations. With increasing temperatures,
[00:20:04] the countdown to the hazelnut harvest has begun. Hazelnut
[00:20:08] purchase prices, which producers are eagerly awaiting, have been announced.
[00:20:12] The news that producers have been eagerly awaiting
[00:20:15] came from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry
[00:20:18] just days before the hazelnut
[00:20:21] harvest season. It set the price of Giresun
[00:20:25] quality hazelnuts at 250 liras per kilogram.
[00:20:29] The price of Levant quality hazelnuts also increased
[00:20:32] by 25% compared to last year, reaching 250 liras.
[00:20:36] Producers welcomed the price increase rate with joy.
[00:20:39] We are satisfied with
[00:20:41] the announced price.
[00:20:45] The yield is also good. And the product harvest
[00:20:48] is less than a week away. We are eagerly awaiting
[00:20:52] the harvest. May it be auspicious. We are very
[00:20:55] pleased with the prices. May God bless our state.
[00:20:58] This year there are good hazelnuts. For every
[00:21:02] yield above 50% for producers, an additional price of
[00:21:06] 5 lira 10 kuruş per kilogram will be given for Giresun
[00:21:09] quality, and 5 lira for Levant quality.
[00:21:12] The Soil Products Office will start purchasing in-shell
[00:21:14] hazelnuts from August 24.
[00:21:17] Purchases will be made with an appointment system, as in previous years.
[00:21:21] Producers will be able to
[00:21:27] make appointments from August 17 onwards
[00:21:30] through randevu.tmo.gov.tr, the internet address, or
[00:21:33] e-Government, as well as the Soil Products Office itself.
[00:21:36] Sir, let's talk about economy now. Gold prices
[00:21:40] have been rising non-stop for 4 days. Gram gold
[00:21:44] has increased by more than 350 liras since
[00:21:47] the beginning of the week,
[00:21:52] exceeding 6,500 liras and reaching its two-month
[00:21:55] peak. So, will this rise continue? What should investors
[00:21:59] pay attention to in their buying and selling decisions?
[00:22:02] Let's watch our news. Hopes for the opening
[00:22:06] of the Strait of Hormuz increased, oil prices fell,
[00:22:09] reduced geopolitical risk pressure and easing
[00:22:13] inflation concerns supported demand for precious metals,
[00:22:16] and gold rose for the fourth consecutive day.
[00:22:20] When oil prices pull back, we see the dollar losing
[00:22:23] value in the global market, and we also see interest
[00:22:27] rates pulling back in the global markets. This actually
[00:22:30] creates an upward demand on the classical valuation
[00:22:34] of gold, causing it to move upward. The ounce of gold
[00:22:37] had been stuck in a horizontal band for a long time.
[00:22:40] After the developments, it rose more than 5% this
[00:22:44] week, testing 4,300 dollars and reaching its 7-week peak.
[00:22:47] The agreement, the elimination of the war environment,
[00:22:50] is a clear result that the market will expect.
[00:22:54] If this result comes, I think that both
[00:22:57] risk appetites in global markets will increase,
[00:23:01] and the pullback in the dollar and interest rates will
[00:23:05] continue. This could lead us to an ounce of gold
[00:23:08] expectation of around 4,600-4,800 dollars
[00:23:11] towards the end of the year, in a more gradual way.
[00:23:15] Therefore, gram gold increased by more than
[00:23:18] 350 liras this week in our country, exceeding
[00:23:22] 6,500 liras and reaching
[00:23:22] its highest level in two months.
[00:23:27] From what I understand, looking at the latest pricing,
[00:23:30] there is no need to worry too much about pullbacks,
[00:23:34] but we can expect the increases to be gradual and a
[00:23:37] little slower than in the previous period. Therefore, gram gold
[00:23:40] seems to have a maximum price target of roughly
[00:23:44] 7,300-7,500 for this year. Sir, our country
[00:23:47] has once again broken a production record in Gabar.
[00:23:52] Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan
[00:23:56] Bayraktar announced that production reached
[00:23:58] 83,300 barrels per day. Minister Bayraktar also drew
[00:24:02] attention to the impact of the Turkey without terror
[00:24:06] process on the region. He said, "Gabar has become
[00:24:08] the address of production, employment, and hope."
[00:24:12] Turkey renewed its production record in Gabar. Daily
[00:24:16] oil production reached 83,300 barrels.
[00:24:20] Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar
[00:24:24] evaluated this important development. He touched
[00:24:26] upon the impact of the Turkey without terror process on the region.
[00:24:30] In Gabar, there used to be blood, tears,
[00:24:34] and hopelessness. With the Turkey without terror process,
[00:24:37] Gabar has become the address
[00:24:41] of production, employment, and hope. Our oil production
[00:24:45] reached a record of 83,300 barrels per day. Minister
[00:24:48] Bayraktar signaled that production in Gabar will
[00:24:52] increase even further. He said, "We will work
[00:24:56] tirelessly to increase production and continue
[00:24:58] to bring hope to the future of our citizens."
[00:25:02] We have showcased a small glimpse of what a Turkey
[00:25:05] without terror can add to our country in Gabar.
[00:25:09] Hopefully, when we spread this to all of Turkey
[00:25:13] and the entire region,
[00:25:15] the future of Turkey
[00:25:21] Ladies and gentlemen, digitalization is now in every
[00:25:24] area of our daily lives. TurkStat's latest research actually
[00:25:28] revealed this transformation with numbers. According to the data,
[00:25:32] six out of every 10 people in Turkey do their shopping
[00:25:35] online. Three out of every four people also access public services
[00:25:39] via e-Devlet. Here is the current
[00:25:42] picture of Digital
[00:25:43] Turkey.
[00:25:48] From shopping to official transactions. From education to social life,
[00:25:51] digitalization is now in every aspect of life.
[00:25:55] The 2026 Household Information Technology Usage Survey
[00:25:59] by the Turkish Statistical Institute also showed digital transformation.
[00:26:12] Now, six out of every 10 people do their shopping
[00:26:16] through digital platforms.
[00:26:18] I do almost all
[00:26:21] of my shopping online. I save
[00:26:25] time. I don't have to
[00:26:28] go to the store and try
[00:26:30] things on. Approximately half of those
[00:26:34] who shop placed at least one order in the first 3 months of the year.
[00:26:37] Who do you think shops more online, women
[00:26:41] or men? Women. Why
[00:26:44] is that? Because, uh,
[00:26:47] women like to shop. They don't want to go
[00:26:51] to stores. So it's easier for them to shop online.
[00:26:55] Since payment is by card, they don't have to carry
[00:26:57] cash. That's why women
[00:27:00] do it more. Contrary to predictions,
[00:27:04] it turned out that men preferred online
[00:27:07] shopping more. The rate of online
[00:27:10] shopping among men is 63.4%, while among women
[00:27:14] it is 56.6%.
[00:27:18] Digitalization has increased its impact not only
[00:27:21] in shopping, but also in public services. Three out of every four people
[00:27:24] use e-Devlet for their necessary
[00:27:27] transactions.
[00:27:30] Do you find e-Devlet easy to use?
[00:27:32] Of course, I find it easy, it explains everything, it tells everything. It comes out
[00:27:36] properly from e-Devlet. Whatever you look for,
[00:27:39] it comes out.
[00:27:42] The increase in internet access is also noteworthy.
[00:27:44] The rate of internet users in the 16-74 age group
[00:27:48] exceeded 92%.
[00:28:33] we are trying to provide
[00:28:35] motivation in this sense
[00:28:38] to our young people who will return to their country with a program. In 2025,
[00:28:42] the number of people joining Aselsan
[00:28:45] from abroad has reached approximately
[00:28:49] 2.5 times the number of those who left Aselsan
[00:28:52] for abroad. He drew attention to reverse brain drain and
[00:28:56] reminded of the goal of full independence in defense. He
[00:28:59] said that a global talent network was created with the national
[00:29:02] competency move. Our goal of full independence
[00:29:06] includes developing critical technologies
[00:29:09] and, in addition to training our human
[00:29:12] resources in our country, bringing qualified human resources
[00:29:16] from different centers of the world
[00:29:19] to Turkey. With this
[00:29:22] understanding, we are creating a global
[00:29:25] talent network by carrying our national competency move
[00:29:29] beyond Turkey's borders.
[00:29:32] Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz was on the podium
[00:29:36] at the second anniversary event of the National Competence Move
[00:29:39] carried out by the Defense Industry Academy in Ankara. In the program,
[00:29:43] Defense Industry President Haluk Görgün also drew attention to
[00:29:46] the importance of trained human resources. He said
[00:29:49] that the issue is no longer just about producing new
[00:29:52] platforms, but about having
[00:29:55] the knowledge, institutional memory,
[00:29:59] engineering culture,
[00:30:03] and human competency to develop
[00:30:07] these platforms for years. We see human resources not
[00:30:10] as an employment category, but as
[00:30:13] a strategic capacity that will shape
[00:30:16] the future of our defense industry.
[00:30:25] Ladies and gentlemen, it is planned to establish a Syria
[00:30:29] Turkey University in Damascus, the capital of Syria.
[00:30:33] A cooperation agreement was signed between Syria's Higher Education
[00:30:36] and Scientific Research Ministry. The agreement
[00:30:40] covers many topics, from the allocation
[00:30:43] of reciprocal scholarships and quotas to supporting the digital
[00:30:47] infrastructure of Syrian Universities.
[00:30:50] Relations gaining momentum
[00:30:57] between Turkey and Syria are also reflected
[00:31:00] in cooperation in the field of higher education.
[00:31:23] came together in Ankara. Strong
[00:31:25] and sustainable partnerships to be established
[00:31:29] between our universities will provide significant
[00:31:32] contributions not only to the academic world, but also to the future
[00:31:36] of the two countries, regional stability, and
[00:31:39] the strengthening of the bonds of brotherhood between our peoples.
[00:31:43] The agreement covers
[00:31:52] many topics, from the allocation of reciprocal scholarships
[00:31:55] and quotas to supporting the digital
[00:31:58] infrastructure of Syrian Universities.
[00:32:01] içeriyor.
[00:32:10] Ladies and gentlemen, the case of the criminal organization
[00:32:13] against İmamoğlu continues at the Istanbul 3rd
[00:32:17] High Criminal Court. In the examination conducted by the court
[00:32:20] panel, it was decided that the detention of 53 defendants,
[00:32:24] including Ekrem
[00:32:25] İmamoğlu, would continue.
[00:32:31] The case of the criminal organization against İmamoğlu
[00:32:34] continues. A monthly detention
[00:32:36] review was conducted in the case. The Istanbul 33rd High Criminal
[00:32:40] Court examined the files
[00:32:44] The court.
[00:32:53] In the case, Ekrem İmamoğlu is held responsible
[00:32:56] for 143 acts. In the indictment, it is alleged
[00:33:00] that the criminal organization caused approximately 160 billion
[00:33:03] Turkish Liras and 24 million dollars
[00:33:04] in damage to the public.
[00:33:09] Ladies and gentlemen, let's continue. Now with the news of release.
[00:33:12] The mayor who was suspended
[00:33:15] from his duty, among 200 defendants
[00:33:18] in the Aziz İhsan Aktaş Criminal Organization case,
[00:33:22] had a detention review. Dear viewers, the court panel
[00:33:26] decided to release Utku Caner Çaykara
[00:33:29] and Özcan Zenger, who were suspended from their duties
[00:33:32] as Avcılar Mayor. It ruled that the detention
[00:33:35] of five
[00:33:37] defendants should continue.
[00:33:41] The criminal organization case
[00:33:45] heard at the Istanbul 1st High Criminal Court
[00:33:48] continues. A monthly detention review was conducted in the case.
[00:33:52] The court panel decided to release Utku
[00:33:56] Caner Çaykara and Özcan Zenger, who were suspended
[00:33:59] from their duties as Avcılar Mayor. A travel ban
[00:34:02] was imposed on the two defendants. The panel rejected
[00:34:05] the requests for release of the other detained defendants. With the decision,
[00:34:09] the number of detained defendants in the case became 5.
[00:34:11] It was learned
[00:34:15] that 200 defendants, including 7 mayors,
[00:34:18] six of whom were suspended from their duties, are being
[00:34:21] tried. Prison sentences are sought for the defendants
[00:34:25] on charges such as forming an organization to commit crimes
[00:34:28] and rigging bids.
[00:34:37] Ladies and gentlemen, let's continue. Now after Üsküdar
[00:34:41] Mayor Sinem Dedetaş was suspended
[00:34:45] from her duty on charges of bribery
[00:34:48] and extortion, a deputy mayor
[00:34:52] election was held in the municipal council, dear
[00:34:56] viewers. Heated debates took place during the elections.
[00:34:59] AK Party Istanbul Provincial Chairman Abdullah Özdemir claimed
[00:35:03] that there were threats and marked ballots in the elections. He
[00:35:06] likened the deputy mayor
[00:35:08] election to a theater play. We invalidated this
[00:35:12] in the previous one. This was done as G6, so I am invalidating
[00:35:15] this. In the Üsküdar Municipality, there was an election
[00:35:18] for deputy mayor to replace Sinem Dedetaş,
[00:35:22] who was arrested on charges of corruption and extortion.
[00:35:25] However, the election was controversial,
[00:35:27] and claims of threats
[00:35:30] and marked ballots came to the agenda. Even though
[00:35:33] Dündar Ziya Gültek's name was clearly understood
[00:35:36] in the 4th round, there is a flaw in the way it is written,
[00:35:40] like T resembling Z. The Bayrampaşa theater
[00:35:43] and its play were performed here. AK
[00:35:47] Party Istanbul Provincial Chairman Abdullah Özdemir claimed
[00:35:51] that the will of the Republican People's Party municipal council
[00:35:54] members was usurped in the elections. He stated
[00:35:58] that the new party cadres exerted violent pressure
[00:36:01] on the CHP municipal council members. The
[00:36:04] provincial chairman and district chairman
[00:36:08] of the New Party, which is a democracy
[00:36:11] haven, occupied the Republican
[00:36:15] People's Party group. There were discussions about marked
[00:36:18] ballots in the election. Özdemir said they would object to the election.
[00:36:22] They gave a marked ballot to the names
[00:36:25] they considered problematic. This is one of them.
[00:36:45] The Ministry of Interior had announced that Mayor Sinem
[00:36:48] Dedetaş, who was arrested on charges of bribery
[00:36:51] and extortion, was suspended
[00:36:58] from her duty. There has been a new
[00:37:01] development in the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality
[00:37:04] bribery and corruption case, dear viewers. The former
[00:37:07] deputy secretary general and a businessman, who were
[00:37:11] previously arrested and then released during the trial, were
[00:37:15] re-detained. The two suspects, who were sent to the courthouse,
[00:37:18] were released after their statements to the prosecutor. On the
[00:37:21] other hand, Tuğçe Güney, the head of the Antalya Metropolitan
[00:37:24] Municipality Youth Center, who was arrested in the prostitution
[00:37:28] operation, was alleged to have
[00:37:29] mediated for Muhittin Böcek
[00:37:33] and his son. They were arrested in the bribery and corruption
[00:37:37] investigation at the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality. While the case
[00:37:41] was ongoing, they benefited from effective repentance
[00:37:44] and were released. The former deputy secretary general and a businessman
[00:37:47] were re-detained within the scope of the ongoing
[00:37:50] investigation. Serkan Temuçin and Çağrı Gümüşlü had shared
[00:37:54] some information and were released after benefiting
[00:37:57] from effective repentance when they were first detained
[00:38:01] last year. However, the investigation was deepened and it was
[00:38:04] determined that the two suspects did not share some information.
[00:38:08] The Antalya Chief Public Prosecutor's Office's investigation continues
[00:38:12] multi-directionally. The two suspects, who were sent to the courthouse
[00:38:15] after their procedures at the Antalya Provincial
[00:38:19] Police Department, were released by the prosecutor. On the
[00:38:22] other hand, 7 people were arrested in the prostitution operation
[00:38:26] in Antalya, in which 12 suspects were detained. Tuğçe Güney,
[00:38:29] the head of the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Youth Center,
[00:38:33] is also among those arrested.
[00:38:34] Güney was alleged to have mediated
[00:38:43] for former Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Muhittin
[00:38:47] Böcek and his son Gökhan Böcek for prostitution.
[00:38:50] Ladies and gentlemen, Istanbul Police are not giving
[00:38:54] drug dealers a break. In simultaneous
[00:38:57] operations carried out at two separate addresses and a vehicle
[00:39:00] in Beylikdüzü, approximately
[00:39:01] 63 kilograms of drugs were seized.
[00:39:07] In an operation in Şişli, 10 kilograms
[00:39:10] of drugs and many weapons were found. They hid drugs
[00:39:13] in boxes inside the refrigerator, but they couldn't escape the police.
[00:39:17] Istanbul Police dealt another blow to drug dealers.
[00:39:20] Istanbul Police Department Narcotics Crimes Branch teams
[00:39:24] launched an operation in Beylikdüzü after their investigations. Searches
[00:39:28] were conducted at two addresses and a vehicle. Approximately
[00:39:30] 63 kilograms of drugs
[00:39:33] in packages were seized during the searches. One suspect was detained in the operation.
[00:39:36] The suspect was referred to the courthouse after completing
[00:39:40] his statement procedures
[00:39:42] at the police station. There was also an operation
[00:39:46] in Şişli. Narcotics teams raided
[00:39:48] a house. Two suspects were detained.
[00:39:50] During the searches, 10 kilograms of drugs, one automatic weapon,
[00:39:54] an unlicensed pistol, and cartridges were seized. It
[00:39:58] was determined that one of the detained suspects
[00:40:01] had a definitive prison sentence of 7 years,
[00:40:05] 12 months, and 20 days,
[00:40:06] and was wanted. The suspects were referred to the courthouse.
[00:40:10] Now we will take you to Konya. In Konya, unidentified
[00:40:14] individuals using a luxury car stole approximately
[00:40:17] 1 million Turkish Liras worth of money and jewelry
[00:40:21] from a commercial vehicle. Dear viewers, the moment
[00:40:24] of the robbery was captured by security cameras. Police,
[00:40:27] who conducted an investigation at the scene, launched
[00:40:31] a study
[00:40:32] to apprehend the suspects.
[00:40:37] They waited next to the commercial vehicle with the luxury
[00:40:41] car for a while, then they moved after checking the surroundings.
[00:40:44] They committed a robbery worth approximately 1 million liras.
[00:40:48] The address of the images is Konya. According to the allegations,
[00:40:51] a person who came out of a currency exchange office parked his car
[00:40:55] on the street to buy paint. Unidentified individuals who came
[00:40:59] in a white car first scouted the area, then stopped
[00:41:02] next to the commercial vehicle. The suspect sitting in the back
[00:41:06] seat broke the window of the commercial vehicle and took the bag
[00:41:10] containing money and jewelry, while the owner of the vehicle noticed
[00:41:14] the situation but could not
[00:41:15] catch them. The luxury car
[00:41:19] quickly moved away from the area. Those moments were captured
[00:41:22] by the security camera of a nearby workplace. Upon notification,
[00:41:26] the police who arrived at the scene
[00:41:31] conducted an investigation and took fingerprints. The teams,
[00:41:34] who also examined the camera recordings, went after the suspects.
[00:41:38] Ladies and gentlemen, in Istanbul, 12 suspects were detained
[00:41:41] in an operation against an armed organized crime
[00:41:44] group. During searches
[00:41:49] at the addresses, hand grenades, unlicensed
[00:41:52] pistols, and bulletproof vests were seized. An
[00:41:55] operation was carried out against a criminal organization determined
[00:41:59] to be involved in workplace arson, armed assault,
[00:42:03] and attempted murder. The operation was carried
[00:42:06] out within the scope of the investigation conducted by the Bakırköy
[00:42:10] Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. 11 suspects
[00:42:13] and one child involved in the crime were detained.
[00:42:17] Searches were conducted at the addresses of the suspects.
[00:42:20] One hand grenade and two
[00:42:22] unlicensed pistols were seized. Two bulletproof vests were also confiscated. The procedures of the detained suspects at the police station are ongoing. It was reported that the investigation is continuing multi-directionally.
[00:42:31] Dear viewers, although summer started cool in Istanbul,
[00:42:35] the temperatures on the thermometers have been rising sharply
[00:42:38] in the last few days. The air temperature exceeded 30 degrees,
[00:42:42] and it is predicted that the temperature will rise
[00:42:45] even further. It is expected to reach 34 degrees
[00:42:49] next week, and of course, the perceived
[00:42:53] temperature is expected to increase even more
[00:42:57] with humidity. Experts
[00:42:57] warn those in the risk group
[00:43:02] to be careful during the hottest hours of the day.
[00:43:06] My God, we're burning in this weather, isn't it icy? We're
[00:43:10] sweating even when we stand still. It's going to get
[00:43:13] even hotter. Let it come. The temperature in Istanbul
[00:43:17] is rising, and the cool weather has given way to scorching
[00:43:20] heat. Thermometers exceeded 30 degrees during the day.
[00:43:24] Really? Yes, desert
[00:43:26] heat is coming. I didn't know about this. So what will you do
[00:43:29] if the heat increases even more? Well, I'll
[00:43:33] probably leave the country. Even though I'm from Antalya,
[00:43:36] it's very hot. I can't even stand
[00:43:39] this. If it gets hotter, we probably won't be able to go
[00:43:43] out. I'm really worried about going out when we have
[00:43:46] work outside right now. According to the forecasts of the General
[00:43:49] Directorate of Meteorology and AKOM, the weather in the mega-city
[00:43:52] is expected to be between 31 and 34
[00:43:55] degrees starting next week, and
[00:43:58] the weather is expected to be clear and partly
[00:44:01] cloudy. We're sweating, I hope it rains so
[00:44:04] we can be happy. Honestly, it's incredibly hot right
[00:44:08] now, unbearable. I don't know if we can stand
[00:44:11] more, but we have to endure it, there's nothing
[00:44:15] else to do. How's the weather? Nice, a bit
[00:44:18] hot, but we're managing. If we say it's going to get
[00:44:22] even hotter, there's nothing to do. High humidity
[00:44:25] poses a risk, especially for the elderly, children,
[00:44:28] and those with chronic diseases. It is recommended
[00:44:31] not to go outside between 11:00 and 16:00
[00:44:34] unless it is absolutely necessary, to consume
[00:44:37] plenty of fluids, and not to stay in the sun
[00:44:41] for a long time. We
[00:44:43] are in the auto industry,
[00:44:47] Maslak industry is a bit windy. Of course, since
[00:44:51] we are in an enclosed area at work, we don't
[00:44:55] feel much, but people with heart
[00:44:58] or other conditions like blood pressure
[00:45:02] need to be careful.
[00:45:06] By the way, ladies and gentlemen, Europe is also
[00:45:10] under the influence of scorching heat. This, of course, reduces
[00:45:13] water levels in rivers. In the Turkish Republic
[00:45:17] of Northern Cyprus,
[00:45:19] an outdoor work ban
[00:45:21] was imposed between 12:00 and 16:00
[00:45:25] due to extreme heat. The excessive heat
[00:45:27] in Europe is causing droughts.
[00:45:30] River levels have dropped to their lowest in many
[00:45:33] countries, including France, Netherlands, Germany, Bulgaria,
[00:45:37] Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, and Romania.
[00:45:41] No rain is in sight. This situation
[00:45:44] negatively affects many sectors, including shipping,
[00:45:47] energy production, and tourism. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
[00:45:50] is also struggling with scorching heat.
[00:45:54] With temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius
[00:45:58] in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus,
[00:46:01] working outdoors and in places exposed
[00:46:04] to direct sunlight between 12:00 and 16:00
[00:46:08] was prohibited by a ministerial decision.
[00:46:12] The work ban will last until August 15. This
[00:46:15] was a decision that was applied before. In fact,
[00:46:19] it is more logical for shops to be closed
[00:46:22] during this period and open after 4 p.m.
[00:46:26] The United Nations also issued a warning. It
[00:46:29] was stated that extreme weather events such
[00:46:33] as heatwaves, droughts,
[00:46:34] and floods would further
[00:46:38] worsen the situation in countries struggling
[00:46:42] with hunger. It was emphasized that nearly 50 million
[00:46:45] more people could face a food crisis by
[00:46:48] the end of 2027. While one part of the world
[00:46:52] is under the influence of extreme heat, another part
[00:46:55] is dominated by rainfall. Heavy rainfall in southern
[00:46:58] Chile caused floods. Rivers overflowed,
[00:47:01] and houses were submerged.
[00:47:06] Ladies and gentlemen, in the meantime, it is fighting forest
[00:47:09] fires triggered by extreme heat and drought.
[00:47:13] The increasing drought due to climate change
[00:47:16] is, of course, spreading
[00:47:18] the risk of fire
[00:47:22] to wider areas, dear viewers. Experts
[00:47:25] now draw attention not to individual fires,
[00:47:29] but to major disasters that occur simultaneously
[00:47:33] in many regions.
[00:47:36] The planet is heating up, fires are growing.
[00:47:39] The toll in Europe
[00:47:40] is heavy. Thousands
[00:47:44] of homes turned to ashes, and over 300,000
[00:47:48] people were left homeless, along with casualties. This
[00:47:51] is no longer an exception,
[00:47:58] it's the new normal. Its latest front was Europe.
[00:48:02] Climate change has exponentially increased the risk of
[00:48:05] fires, especially in the Mediterranean. Drought
[00:48:09] turned Europe into a bed of fire
[00:48:12] in the spring.
[00:48:14] According to scientists,
[00:48:18] climate change, heat, and drought extend
[00:48:21] fire seasons. According
[00:48:52] to Claire Barns,
[00:48:54] a climate change researcher
[00:49:03] at Imperial College London, human-caused sparks
[00:49:07] are often the cause of fires. We had a very
[00:49:10] hot summer, and this made the environment
[00:49:14] as dry as tinder. Therefore, even the smallest
[00:49:17] spark can turn into a big forest
[00:49:21] fire. This situation is the result of the warming
[00:49:25] trend caused
[00:49:30] by human-induced climate change and greenhouse
[00:49:34] gas emissions. Large fires breaking out simultaneously
[00:49:37] in Europe make intervention difficult.
[00:49:41] It will be inevitable for this to happen frequently.
[00:49:44] Ladies and gentlemen, millions of people who enjoy
[00:49:48] the sea, pool, and sun during the summer months
[00:49:52] can actually face risks that threaten
[00:49:55] their skin health without realizing
[00:49:59] it. Sun and humidity cause many
[00:50:03] diseases, from fungal infections to sun
[00:50:06] allergies. A simple sunburn can cause
[00:50:10] DNA damage to the skin.
[00:50:12] In recent years, we have observed a significant
[00:50:16] change among patients who apply to dermatology
[00:50:20] during the summer months. Sun allergies,
[00:50:23] sun damage, and insect bites have started
[00:50:27] to appear more frequently. Uncontrolled sun
[00:50:29] exposure in summer
[00:50:33] triggers skin diseases. Not only
[00:50:36] sunburn, but also DNA damage can occur
[00:50:39] in skin cells during this process, according
[00:50:43] to experts. Sunburns are actually perceived
[00:50:46] by some people as a simple redness
[00:50:49] or sensitivity, but every ray
[00:50:52] of light actually causes DNA damage
[00:50:56] to our skin. This accumulated DNA damage, in time,
[00:51:00] causes skin aging, early wrinkles,
[00:51:04] sunspots, and poses a risk for skin
[00:51:06] cancer. Skin diseases are common
[00:51:10] in summer due to increased temperatures,
[00:51:12] sun rays, sea,
[00:51:21] and pool. The most common are sunburns, sun
[00:51:25] allergies, and also fungal infections
[00:51:29] and insect bites are among the most
[00:51:31] common problems in summer. Both mosquitoes
[00:51:35] and arthropod bites are common diseases
[00:51:38] in summer. We need to be careful about
[00:51:42] this, especially
[00:51:43] since itching can
[00:51:48] lead to secondary infections if the
[00:51:51] person cannot stop scratching. In summer,
[00:51:55] measures should also be taken against
[00:51:58] fungal infections. These fungal infections
[00:52:00] are common in moist
[00:52:04] and damp bodies,
[00:52:11] like the groin area and armpits.
[00:52:15] We often see this after the sea
[00:52:18] and pool. The most important reason
[00:52:22] for this is staying wet. To protect
[00:52:26] against skin problems in summer, it is
[00:52:29] recommended to use sunscreen, hats,
[00:52:33] and sunglasses, and to keep the skin
[00:52:36] dry. Ladies and gentlemen,
[00:52:40] expatriates who spent their holidays in
[00:52:43] Turkey continue to return to the countries
[00:52:47] where they work. AK Party Deputy Chairman
[00:52:50] Zafer Sırrakaya bid farewell to the passengers
[00:52:53] who used the Kapıkule border gate. personnel reinforcements were made.
[00:52:57] In the summer, especially to increase
[00:53:00] these services, we increased 137 customs
[00:53:04] personnel. We also had the opportunity to increase
[00:53:08] 89 police personnel. The return of expatriates
[00:53:10] is expected to continue until September.

[01:00:33] we will bring to your screens the good and bad events
[01:00:36] that have happened in Turkey and other parts of the world
[01:00:39] since yesterday until this time. And "End
[01:00:43] of Day" has begun.
[01:00:53] "The National Security Council met at Beştepe under the
[01:00:56] chairmanship of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. In
[01:00:59] the statement made after the meeting, the progress
[01:01:02] made towards the goal of a 'Turkey Without Terrorism'
[01:01:06] was described as a 'historical milestone' for the stability
[01:01:10] of Turkey and the region. At the National Security Council
[01:01:14] meeting, the US-Iran crisis, the Russia-Ukraine war,
[01:01:18] and the latest situation in Gaza, as well as other regional
[01:01:22] and international security
[01:01:26] issues, were also evaluated. Here are the details.
[01:01:29] It constitutes a historical milestone in ensuring
[01:01:33] the security, stability, and prosperity of our country
[01:01:36] and our region. These statements regarding the "Turkey Without
[01:01:40] Terrorism" process were included in the communiqué
[01:01:43] issued after the National Security Council meeting. At
[01:01:46] the meeting, the progress made towards achieving the goal and future
[01:01:50] work were discussed comprehensively.
[01:01:53] At this year's 4th meeting, held under the chairmanship
[01:01:56] of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, emphasis was placed
[01:01:59] on the importance of cooperation developed with Iraq and Syria
[01:02:03] for regional security. It was stated that Turkey
[01:02:06] would continue to contribute to processes aimed at strengthening
[01:02:09] regional solidarity. The ongoing crisis between
[01:02:12] the US and Iran was addressed.
[01:02:15] krize değinildi.
[01:02:19] The risks and threats posed by the renewed conflicts
[01:02:23] between Iran and the US escalating to regional
[01:02:26] countries and global trade routes were pointed out.
[01:02:37] Another agenda
[01:02:40] item of the meeting was the actions
[01:02:43] that jeopardize navigational safety in the Black Sea.
[01:02:46] A call for peace was made to Russia and Ukraine,
[01:02:50] who have been at war for over 4 years.
[01:02:53] It was emphasized that the strategic stalemate in the
[01:02:57] Russia-Ukraine war cannot be overcome by turning
[01:03:00] the adjacent regions, especially the Black Sea
[01:03:03] and the Caspian Sea, into a battleground.
[01:03:06] The warring parties were invited to de-escalate tensions
[01:03:10] in the region and take concrete steps for peace.
[01:03:13] The latest situation in Gaza was also discussed
[01:03:16] at the National Security Council meeting. There was
[01:03:19] a reaction to the genocidal Israel's attacks
[01:03:22] and provocations. Despite the progress made
[01:03:25] in recent days within the framework of the Gaza
[01:03:28] peace plan, it was emphasized that the
[01:03:32] international community must take a clear and
[01:03:35] uncompromising stance against the Israeli administration's
[01:03:38] continued violations of the ceasefire, escalation of
[01:03:42] settler terrorism in Palestinian territories, and provocative
[01:03:46] attacks on holy sites, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque.
[01:03:49] The results of the NATO
[01:03:52] summit held in Ankara last month were also evaluated
[01:03:55] at the meeting. Turkey's constructive approach
[01:03:59] to sharing its advanced capabilities and opportunities
[01:04:02] with its allies was
[01:04:04] confirmed.
[01:04:08] President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Nationalist
[01:04:12] Movement Party Chairman Devlet Bahçeli met
[01:04:15] at Beştepe yesterday. At the third meeting of
[01:04:18] the year, the goal of a "Turkey Without Terrorism" and the
[01:04:22] steps to be taken in the process were discussed. Erdoğan and Bahçeli
[01:04:26] also evaluated
[01:04:31] regional developments. The goal of a "Turkey Without
[01:04:34] Terrorism," the steps to be taken after the framework
[01:04:38] law is submitted to Parliament, and current developments
[01:04:42] were discussed. President Erdoğan met with Devlet
[01:04:45] Bahçeli, the leader of the MHP, a partner in the People's
[01:04:47] Alliance. The Presidential Complex hosted the 3rd meeting
[01:04:51] of the year. During the 45-minute reception at Beştepe,
[01:04:54] domestic and foreign developments
[01:05:00] and prominent political issues were discussed.
[01:05:03] The main agenda item was the goal of a "Turkey
[01:05:07] Without Terrorism." President Erdoğan had thanked those
[01:05:11] who showed will, especially MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, after the framework law
[01:05:14] proposal was submitted. At the meeting, the steps
[01:05:18] to be taken in the process after the proposal was
[01:05:21] submitted were comprehensively discussed. The parliamentary
[01:05:24] calendar for the process that started with Bahçeli's
[01:05:28] historical call was discussed.
[01:05:33] Regional developments were also on Erdoğan and Bahçeli's
[01:05:37] agenda. The bill on strengthening national solidarity and
[01:05:40] social integration will be discussed tomorrow in the
[01:05:43] Parliament's Justice Committee. The committee discussions
[01:05:47] on the 12-article bill are expected to be completed
[01:05:51] in a short time, and after the bill is approved
[01:05:54] by the committee,
[01:05:55] it will come to the agenda
[01:06:00] of the General Assembly. General Assembly discussions
[01:06:03] are expected to begin this weekend.
[01:06:06] "As the People's Alliance, we took a historic step
[01:06:10] to strengthen our front. By initiating the 'Turkey
[01:06:13] Without Terrorism' process, we put not only our hand
[01:06:16] but also our body under the stone."
[01:06:20] Historic days are being experienced in the Grand
[01:06:24] National Assembly of Turkey. The critical threshold has
[01:06:27] been crossed in the goal
[01:06:30] of a "Turkey Without Terrorism." The bill on strengthening
[01:06:34] national solidarity and social integration was
[01:06:37] submitted to the Speaker of the Parliament with
[01:06:41] the signatures of 356 deputies. The committee
[01:06:43] discussions on the 12-article bill are expected to be
[01:06:47] completed in a short time. General Assembly discussions
[01:06:49] are planned to begin this weekend.
[01:06:53] The first condition for the regulations in the
[01:06:56] proposal is the complete dismantling of all organizational
[01:07:12] structures and elements under the control of the
[01:07:16] terrorist organization. In the proposal, there is no
[01:07:19] general amnesty, special status for individuals,
[01:07:22] or amnesty for intentional homicide. Those who committed
[01:07:26] intentional homicide within the framework of terrorist
[01:07:42] activities and those who committed crimes requiring
[01:07:45] life imprisonment or aggravated life imprisonment before June 1, 2005, are also
[01:07:49] excluded. Thus, with İmralı,
[01:07:53] the organization's... said. Gürlek stated
[01:07:56] that the "Turkey Without Terrorism" goal is a national
[01:07:59] state policy based on the peace of the nation,
[01:08:03] the security of the state, and a common future.
[01:08:07] Terörsüz
[01:08:11] "Turkey Without Terrorism"
[01:08:17] is our state's... On this path we set out
[01:08:21] to make the Turkish Century the Century of Justice,
[01:08:24] we are all witnessing a historical stage with our vision
[01:08:28] of a Turkey without terrorism. Justice Minister Akın Gürlek
[01:08:31] stated that the "Turkey Without Terrorism" goal
[01:08:35] is a national policy based on the peace of the nation
[01:08:38] and the security of the state. He underlined that no special
[01:08:42] status would be granted to anyone in the bill.
[01:08:45] The proposed bill does not include a provision for
[01:08:49] those who ordered terrorist attacks or martyred our security forces.
[01:08:53] No special status is granted to any individual, and the
[01:08:56] regulation is not extended to other structures. Justice
[01:08:59] Minister Gürlek emphasized that the sensitivities of
[01:09:03] martyrs' families and veterans would be taken into account
[01:09:06] as a top priority. "The sensitivities of our
[01:09:09] martyrs' families and our heroic veterans will be
[01:09:13] the main measure of the process. No action that
[01:09:15] would offend their honor and sacred memories will
[01:09:19] be allowed." Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi
[01:09:22] also stated in his statement that the "Turkey Without
[01:09:25] Terrorism" goal represents
[01:09:26] the unwavering will of the
[01:09:29] state. He emphasized that there would be no turning
[01:09:33] back from this goal. We will permanently rid
[01:09:36] Turkey of the threat of terrorism, further strengthen
[01:09:39] our national unity and solidarity, and reinforce peace in our country
[01:09:50] and region. There is no turning back from the
[01:09:53] "Turkey Without Terrorism" goal. Our state
[01:09:56] wins. What investments
[01:09:59] could have been made
[01:10:03] with this enormous
[01:10:05] amount of money? The Directorate of Communications
[01:10:09] showcased the economic cost of terrorism to Turkey
[01:10:12] with examples. As part of the communication campaign
[01:10:16] launched with the label "Solidarity", a video was
[01:10:20] prepared. According to this, with this cost,
[01:10:23] thousands of city hospitals could have been built,
[01:10:27] or dozens of airports
[01:10:28] or highways could have
[01:10:33] been constructed. The cost of terrorism
[01:10:36] to Turkey is over 2.3
[01:10:39] trillion dollars. If we look at it
[01:10:43] from the perspective of opportunity
[01:10:46] costs, the economic loss of the
[01:10:49] country due to terrorism is almost twice
[01:10:53] this figure. 31 million earthquake
[01:10:57] resistant homes, 15,000 organized industrial zones,
[01:11:00] 218 Istanbul Airports, a solar power plant
[01:11:04] to meet 23 years of electricity consumption.
[01:11:06] The Directorate of Communications explained the economic
[01:11:10] cost of terrorism to
[01:11:52] Turkey over 40 years with data. In this
[01:11:56] context, a digital campaign was launched
[01:11:59] with the hashtag #NationalSolidarity. 850 units of the 1915
[01:12:02] Çanakkale Bridge, over 100 modern airports,
[01:12:04] 30,000 kilometers of highways, and 36 million
[01:12:08] social housing units were given as examples
[01:12:11] of what could be built with the said resources.
[01:12:15] The video was shared on the Directorate of Communications'
[01:12:19] social media account. The sharing stated that "terrorism
[01:12:23] targeted not only our security and national solidarity,
[01:12:26] but also our economy, our future, and our
[01:12:30] prosperity." It was stated that trillions of
[01:12:33] dollars allocated to the fight against terrorism
[01:12:36] over the years prevented investments in the future.
[01:12:39] "When our 'Turkey Without Terrorism' process reaches
[01:12:42] its destination, our country will be forever rid
[01:12:46] of this heavy economic burden. When this
[01:12:50] issue is resolved
[01:12:50] permanently,
[01:12:55] all of Turkey, with its 86 million citizens,
[01:12:58] will win, the nation will win, and the
[01:13:02] country will win." Cabinet members also supported
[01:13:06] the study. In the shares,
[01:13:20] and unity was emphasized. It is 01:13.
[01:13:23] "End of Day" continues on TT news. The murderous
[01:13:26] Israel raided the Qalandia camp in Jerusalem,
[01:13:30] the capital of the Palestinian State, again. More than
[01:13:33] 60 Palestinians, including women and children,
[01:13:36] were imprisoned. Journalists were tear
[01:13:39] gassed and subjected to stun grenades.
[01:13:43] The entrances to the camp were closed.
[01:13:46] The murderous Israel's
[01:13:48] provision of security
[01:13:52] services to the occupiers and its de facto protection
[01:13:55] of these groups were also reported in the Israeli press.
[01:13:59] The raids of the murderous Israeli army on the Qalandia
[01:14:03] refugee camp in occupied East Jerusalem continue.
[01:14:06] More than 60 Palestinians, including women and children,
[01:14:09] were detained. Tear gas and stun grenades
[01:14:12] were thrown at journalists. Homes were used as interrogation
[01:14:15] centers, and workplaces were destroyed. The entrances
[01:14:19] to the camp were closed
[01:14:22] with piles of earth. Curfews were imposed.
[01:14:25] Morning prayers in mosques were prevented.
[01:14:29] Attacks by Israeli occupiers against Palestinians also continue in the West
[01:14:33] Bank. The occupiers
[01:14:35] enter agricultural lands, set vehicles on fire,
[01:14:39] and uproot olive trees, which are a source of
[01:14:42] livelihood for Palestinians. The Israeli press also reported
[01:14:46] that Israeli forces did not prevent the attacks
[01:14:50] of the occupiers who usurped Palestinian lands. It was
[01:14:53] stated that the murderous
[01:14:55] Israel provided security to the occupiers and
[01:14:59] de facto protected these groups.
[01:15:00] istedi.
[01:15:04] Israel's genocidal national security minister Bengivir
[01:15:07] also gave a new instruction regarding Palestinian
[01:15:09] prisoners. He demanded that the clothes of Palestinian
[01:15:13] prisoners and copies of the Quran be confiscated.
[01:15:17] It seems that the second phase of the ceasefire
[01:15:20] in Gaza has created a rift between the United
[01:15:23] States and genocidal Israel. The Israeli press wrote that differences
[01:15:27] of opinion emerged.
[01:15:33] Ron, a close aide of the murderous genocidal
[01:15:36] Netanyahu, was sent to Washington to resolve
[01:15:40] the crisis in the Washington-Tel Aviv line. The second
[01:15:44] phase of the ceasefire in Gaza has brought
[01:15:47] a new disagreement
[01:15:50] between Washington and Tel Aviv. The Israeli press wrote
[01:15:54] that Ron Dermer, a close aide of the murderous
[01:15:57] Netanyahu, went to Washington to appease the diplomatic crisis.
[01:16:01] According to Haaretz,
[01:16:05] genocidal Israel conveyed its objections to the
[01:16:08] agreement reached with Hamas to the US after
[01:16:11] the text was announced. This caused great anger
[01:16:15] in the Trump administration. Israel is opposing
[01:16:18] the storage of weapons
[01:16:22] to be collected from Hamas in Gaza, the inclusion
[01:16:25] of Turkey and Qatar in the mechanism that
[01:16:29] will supervise the implementation
[01:16:32] of the agreement, and the limitation of the
[01:16:36] Israeli army's freedom of military movement
[01:16:39] in some areas. Israeli domestic politics has
[01:16:42] also been stirred up. Far-right coalition
[01:16:46] partners who oppose the agreement demanded
[01:16:50] that Netanyahu convene the cabinet. However,
[01:16:52] the Gaza Peace Council
[01:16:56] had announced that Hamas had accepted the roadmap
[01:17:00] for the second phase of the ceasefire. Trump
[01:17:03] had also announced that an agreement had been
[01:17:05] reached with Hamas and other armed groups
[01:17:09] in Gaza on disarming. Hamas emphasizes that
[01:17:13] the implementation of the second phase depends
[01:17:15] on Israel fully fulfilling
[01:17:25] its obligations in the first phase. Iran's Ministry of Foreign
[01:17:28] Affairs announced that an agreement has been
[01:17:32] reached with Oman on a safe passage for
[01:17:35] commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. It
[01:17:38] was announced that the joint statement is in its
[01:17:42] final stage. Meanwhile, a preliminary draft law
[01:17:45] regarding passage through the Strait of Hormuz
[01:17:48] is being reviewed in the Iranian Parliament.
[01:17:52] Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi
[01:17:57] stated that the regulation is a temporary route
[01:18:00] that is expected to take 2 to 4 months.
[01:18:03] He said that the full opening of Hormuz depends on the US's stance.
[01:18:46] The Iranians are extremely difficult people, and they cannot speak with
[01:18:50] one voice within their system. There are those
[01:18:54] in the administration
[01:18:55] who want the war to end,
[01:18:58] and radicals who want it to continue.
[01:19:01] Iran's Parliament Speaker
[01:19:03] Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf
[01:19:11] also mentioned Trump's threats of attack with negotiations.
[01:19:15] The eyes are on Rome, the capital of Italy,
[01:19:18] for the 7th round of negotiations between
[01:19:21] Israel and Lebanon. The technical details
[01:19:24] of the pilot zone application and making the ceasefire
[01:19:27] permanent are on the agenda. However, Israel continues
[01:19:30] to attack Lebanon despite the ongoing negotiations and the so-called ceasefire.
[01:19:34] sürdürüyor.
[01:19:38] 4 people
[01:19:38] were injured.
[01:19:42] Negotiations between Lebanon and Israel
[01:19:45] are in their 7th round. The talks are taking
[01:19:49] place at the US Embassy in Rome, the capital
[01:19:52] of Italy.
[01:19:56] The main agenda items are the technical details
[01:19:59] of the pilot zone implementation and making
[01:20:03] the ceasefire permanent. Hezbollah opposes these
[01:20:10] talks. Direct talks with Israel
[01:20:14] bring nothing but shame, humiliation, disappointment,
[01:20:16] and continuous concessions.
[01:20:19] Israel is attacking Lebanon despite the
[01:20:22] current ceasefire. 4 people were injured in an airstrike
[01:20:26] on the city of Tyre
[01:20:28] in the south of the country.
[01:20:30] The United Nations announced that Israel's
[01:20:34] occupation of southern Lebanon and its newly
[01:20:37] issued evacuation threat
[01:20:39] affected thousands of people.
[01:20:42] Families are returning to destroyed homes.
[01:20:45] Basic humanitarian services are limited, there is
[01:20:49] economic hardship, and
[01:20:50] unexploded ordnance also
[01:20:55] poses a danger. Despite 4 years, 5 months,
[01:20:59] and 13 days having passed since Russia launched
[01:21:02] its large-scale invasion of Ukraine, diplomacy
[01:21:05] remains stalled. Both sides are increasing
[01:21:09] their long-range attacks, and civilian casualties
[01:21:13] are rising. Ukraine again targeted energy facilities
[01:21:16] and an e-commerce company in Russia. At least
[01:21:19] two people lost their lives. Russia also retaliated
[01:21:23] against Ukraine. At least 3 people died.
[01:21:26] The Russian army also continues to hit Ukrainian
[01:21:29] ships in the Black Sea.
[01:21:33] Russia's Yaroslavl region oil refinery was targeted
[01:21:37] by Ukrainian tenders. A fire broke out at the
[01:21:41] facility, which is among the country's top five
[01:21:44] refineries. Smoke covered the sky. The Bashneft-Novooil
[01:21:48] refinery was also hit by Ukraine. Ukraine continues
[01:21:51] its attacks on Russia's e-commerce company Wild
[01:21:55] Berries. Most recently, the logistics center in the
[01:21:59] Tver region, which was targeted by attacks on
[01:22:02] August 4, was again damaged due to falling UAV
[01:22:05] parts. Two people died
[01:22:07] and eight were injured in Ukraine's UAV attacks
[01:22:11] on Russia. Russia also retaliated against Ukraine.
[01:22:14] Three people died in airstrikes targeting different
[01:22:17] regions. Four people were The Ministry also announced that they had struck two ships
[01:22:21] carrying military cargo in the Black Sea with drones.
[01:22:24] Our
[01:22:36] have been rising non-stop
[01:22:39] since the beginning of the week. Gram gold has increased by more than
[01:22:43] 350 lira since Monday, exceeding
[01:22:46] 6,500 lira and reaching
[01:22:49] its two-month peak. So, will
[01:22:52] this rise continue? What should investors pay attention to in their
[01:22:55] buying and selling decisions? The
[01:22:58] forecasts of experts on money markets and precious metals, in other
[01:23:02] words, their analyses,
[01:23:04] are in our news.
[01:23:09] Hopes for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz increased, oil prices
[01:23:13] declined, decreasing geopolitical risk pressure and easing
[01:23:16] inflation concerns supported demand for precious metals.
[01:23:20] Gold rose for the fourth consecutive day.
[01:23:23] When oil prices pulled back, we see that the dollar lost
[01:23:26] value in the global market. We see that interest rates
[01:23:30] have also pulled back in global markets. This actually
[01:23:33] creates an upward demand on the classical valuation of gold
[01:23:37] and provides its upward acceleration.
[01:23:40] Gold was stuck in a horizontal band for a long time. After the developments,
[01:23:43] it rose more than 5% this week. It tested
[01:23:46] 4300 dollars and reached its peak of the last 7 weeks.
[01:23:50] The market will expect a clear result of the elimination of the war environment,
[01:23:54] if this result comes, I think
[01:23:57] that both the risk appetites in global markets will increase
[01:24:00] and the pullback in the dollar and interest rates will continue. This
[01:24:04] could lead us to an expectation of an ounce of gold
[01:24:07] in the range of 4,600-4,800 dollars by the end of the year.
[01:24:11] Domestically, gram gold increased by more than
[01:24:14] 350 lira this week. It exceeded 6,500 lira
[01:24:18] and reached its highest level in two months.
[01:24:20] We don't need to worry too much about pullbacks,
[01:24:23] as far as I understand, looking at the latest pricing, but we
[01:24:27] can expect its increases to be gradual and
[01:24:30] slower compared to the previous period. Therefore, gram gold
[01:24:34] roughly looks like it could have a maximum
[01:24:37] price target in the range of 7,300-7,500 for this year.
[01:24:39] Vice President
[01:24:42] Cevdet Yılmaz said that
[01:24:45] a global talent network was created
[01:24:49] with the National Competence Initiative. He emphasized
[01:24:52] the importance of the approach from brain drain
[01:24:55] to brain power. Yılmaz
[01:24:58] said that in 2025, the number of people joining Aselsan from abroad
[01:25:01] reached 2.5 times the number of those who left.
[01:25:05] The Vice President was on the podium
[01:25:09] at the 2nd Anniversary event of the National Competence
[01:25:12] Initiative conducted by the Defense Industry Academy.
[01:25:16] We are trying to provide motivation
[01:25:20] in this sense to our young people
[01:25:22] who will return to their country
[01:25:25] with a program we call "from brain drain to brain power".
[01:25:29] In 2025, the number
[01:25:32] of people joining Aselsan from abroad has reached approximately
[01:25:36] 2.5 times the number of those
[01:25:39] who left Aselsan for abroad. He drew attention to the reverse brain
[01:25:43] drain. He reminded the goal of full independence in defense.
[01:25:46] He said that a global talent network was created with the National Competence Initiative.
[01:25:50] Our goal of full independence includes
[01:25:54] developing critical technologies,
[01:25:57] training our human resources in our country, as well
[01:26:01] as bringing qualified human resources
[01:26:04] from different centers of the world
[01:26:07] to Turkey. With this understanding,
[01:26:10] we are creating a global talent network
[01:26:14] by extending our national competence initiative
[01:26:18] beyond Turkey's borders. Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz
[01:26:22] was on the podium at the second anniversary
[01:26:25] event of the National Competence Initiative organized
[01:26:28] in Ankara by the Defense Industry Academy. In the program,
[01:26:31] Haluk Görgün, President of the Defense Industry, also drew attention
[01:26:34] to the importance of trained human resources. The issue
[01:26:38] is no longer just producing new platforms,
[01:26:40] but having the knowledge,
[01:26:44] institutional memory, engineering
[01:26:48] culture, and human competence
[01:26:52] to develop these platforms for years. We
[01:26:55] see human resources not as an employment
[01:26:58] item, but as a strategic capacity
[01:27:02] that will shape
[01:27:03] the future of our defense industry.
[01:27:07] Turkey once again set a production record in Gabar.
[01:27:10] Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan
[01:27:14] Bayraktar announced that production
[01:27:16] had risen to 83,300 barrels per day.
[01:27:20] Minister Bayraktar also drew attention to the impact
[01:27:23] of the "Turkey Without Terror" process on the region. He
[01:27:26] said that Gabar has become the address of production,
[01:27:29] employment, and hope.
[01:27:33] Turkey renewed its production record in Gabar. Daily
[01:27:36] oil production reached 83,300 barrels.
[01:27:40] Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar evaluated
[01:27:44] this important development. He touched upon the impact
[01:27:48] of the "Turkey Without Terror" process
[01:27:50] on the region. "In tears, and hopelessness.
[01:27:54] With the "Turkey Without Terror" process, Gabar has become the address of production,
[01:27:57] employment, and hope. Our oil production
[01:28:00] in Gabar broke a record by reaching
[01:28:04] 83,300 barrels per day." Minister
[01:28:07] Bayraktar signaled that production in Gabar
[01:28:10] will increase further. "We will continue to increase
[01:28:14] production by working tirelessly and remain a source of hope
[01:28:17] for the future of our citizens."
[01:28:21] We showcased a small slice of what a Turkey without terror
[01:28:25] can add to our country in Gabar. When we spread
[01:28:29] this to all of Turkey and the entire region,
[01:28:32] hopefully the future of Turkey and the entire region,
[01:28:36] the future of our people, our nation, will be much brighter.
[01:28:38] The discovery made in Gabar, Şırnak
[01:28:42] in 2021 was recorded as the largest
[01:28:46] oil discovery in the history of the Republic. Turkish Petroleum
[01:28:49] expanded production to 7 fields in the region.
[01:28:53] Over 50 million
[01:28:55] barrels of crude oil have been produced
[01:29:15] summer in Istanbul had started cool,
[01:29:19] the temperatures on the thermometers
[01:29:22] have been rising for the past few days. The air
[01:29:25] temperature exceeded 30 degrees. The temperature
[01:29:29] is expected to rise further. The evaluations
[01:29:32] of meteorology editors within the framework
[01:29:36] of the data are in this direction.
[01:29:39] The temperature in Istanbul is expected
[01:29:41] to reach 34 degrees next week, and the felt temperature
[01:29:45] is expected to increase further with humidity. Experts
[01:29:48] warn those in the risk group to be careful
[01:29:51] during the hottest hours of the day.
[01:29:54] We are burning in this weather, look,
[01:29:59] ice water. We are ruined, I swear,
[01:30:02] we are sweating even when we stand still. It will be even hotter,
[01:30:06] let it be. The temperature
[01:30:09] in Istanbul is rising, the cool weather has given
[01:30:13] way to scorching heat. During the day, thermometers
[01:30:16] exceeded 30 degrees. Really? Yes,
[01:30:20] desert heat is coming.
[01:30:23] I didn't know about this. So, what would you do if the heat
[01:30:25] increased even more? Most likely I will leave the country.
[01:30:29] Despite being from Antalya, it is very hot here.
[01:30:35] If it were hotter, we probably wouldn't be able to go outside. Seriously, right now, when we have something to do outside,
[01:30:39] I get very worried about going outside. According to the forecasts
[01:30:42] of the General Directorate of Meteorology and AKOM, the weather
[01:30:46] in the mega-city is expected to be between
[01:30:49] 31 and 34 degrees
[01:30:52] from next week, and the weather is expected to be clear
[01:30:54] and partly cloudy.
[01:30:56] I hope it rains and we cool down, we are burning
[01:31:00] right now, it's incredibly hot.
[01:31:42] Turkey is under the influence
[01:31:46] of desert heat, the felt temperature
[01:31:50] with humidity has increased considerably, and those
[01:31:53] suffering from the heat
[01:31:54] flocked to shady and cool
[01:31:58] areas. Desert heat was effective
[01:32:01] in many parts of the country. Citizens suffering from the heat
[01:32:04] sought refuge in cool areas. In Kahramanmaraş,
[01:32:08] where thermometers showed above 40 degrees,
[01:32:10] parks and gardens were deserted
[01:32:14] due to the scorching heat.
[01:32:17] The weather is very hot, brother. The parks are very hot, children cannot come,
[01:32:21] cannot play. They cannot sleep at night.
[01:32:23] uyuyamıyor.
[01:32:27] Even if it's hot here, it's airy. Homes
[01:32:30] are hotter. We take a breath here.
[01:32:34] Another city affected by desert heat
[01:32:37] was Osmaniye.
[01:32:40] With 67% humidity, the felt air
[01:32:43] temperature in Osmaniye exceeded 40 degrees. During
[01:32:46] the hottest hours, streets and alleys
[01:32:49] were almost silent, and those who went out tried to cool
[01:32:53] down in the shade.
[01:32:56] If I stayed at home, I wouldn't go out, I went out
[01:33:00] and came here, this place is cool.
[01:33:02] It's
[01:33:05] very hot, I'm going out, what
[01:33:07] can I do? In Antalya,
[01:33:11] with the humidity reaching 85%, the felt temperature
[01:33:14] reached 40 degrees. Those suffering from the heat
[01:33:17] preferred the beaches.
[01:33:20] In Adıyaman, where the air temperature was above 40 degrees,
[01:33:23] an air conditioning system was installed in the sports center.
[01:33:27] Our friends did not prefer it in summer, as a result
[01:33:30] of a good R&D study with friends,
[01:33:33] we installed
[01:33:35] the system we call cooling here.
[01:33:38] Thanks to the system, those playing football
[01:33:41] can do sports in a cooler environment. I did not feel like I played
[01:33:45] in summer tonight at all. "It felt like
[01:33:48] we were playing football
[01:33:49] in a beautiful coolness
[01:33:53] on an autumn evening. Europe is also
[01:33:56] under the influence of scorching heat, and this
[01:33:59] reduces water levels in rivers. In the Turkish Republic of Northern
[01:34:03] Cyprus, due to extreme heat, a ban on outdoor
[01:34:06] work between 12 and 16
[01:34:09] hours was introduced.
[01:34:12] Extreme heat is effective in Europe, and this
[01:34:16] causes drought. River levels
[01:34:20] dropped to their lowest levels in many countries, including
[01:34:23] France, Netherlands, Germany,
[01:34:25] Bulgaria, Slovakia, Hungary,
[01:34:27] Serbia, and Romania. No rainfall is visible on the horizon. This
[01:34:31] situation negatively affects many
[01:34:33] sectors, including transportation,
[01:34:36] energy production, and tourism. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
[01:34:39] is also struggling with scorching
[01:34:44] heat. With the temperature reaching
[01:34:48] 40 degrees, working in open areas
[01:34:51] and places constantly exposed to the sun
[01:34:55] between 12 and 16 hours was prohibited
[01:34:57] by a ministerial decision. The work ban will continue
[01:35:01] until August 15. This was a decision
[01:35:04] that was implemented before, and it is even
[01:35:07] more logical for shops to close during this period
[01:35:10] and open after 4 pm.
[01:35:15] It was stated that extreme weather events such as drought and floods
[01:35:18] would worsen the situation in countries struggling with hunger.
[01:35:22] It was emphasized that nearly 50 million
[01:35:25] more people could experience a food crisis by the end of 2027.
[01:35:29] While one part of the world is under the influence of extreme heat,
[01:35:32] rainfall is dominant in another part. Heavy rainfall caused
[01:35:36] floods in southern Chile. Rivers overflowed, floods occurred.
[01:35:40] Homes were submerged.
[01:35:43] With scorching heat affecting Europe,
[01:35:47] Italy raised all its major
[01:35:50] cities to the highest heat alert level
[01:35:53] on Thursday. Extreme heat caused
[01:35:56] a national temperature record to be broken in Austria,
[01:35:59] fanned forest fires in France,
[01:36:02] and disrupted energy and transportation systems
[01:36:06] across the continent. The increasing drought
[01:36:09] also threatens important waterways of the European continent.
[01:36:13] Water levels in the Danube
[01:36:15] and Rhine Rivers dropped to their most critical
[01:36:18] points in recent years. Drought alarms are being given
[01:36:22] in many countries. In Germany, it was announced that over 9,000
[01:36:25] people died from extreme heat within a month.
[01:36:28] Economic activities such as energy, transportation,
[01:36:32] agriculture, and tourism
[01:36:34] are also at great risk.
[01:36:37] In the European Continent, where a hot weather
[01:36:40] wave is effective, from France to Germany, from the Netherlands
[01:36:44] to Romania, many countries have drought alarms. The situation
[01:36:47] threatens daily life and the economy.
[01:36:49] In Germany, the water level in the Rhine River dropped,
[01:36:53] so ships can carry less cargo. This increases
[01:36:56] logistics costs on the river, one of Europe's most heavily
[01:37:00] used trade routes. The same situation
[01:37:04] is experienced on the Danube River, another trade route
[01:37:07] on the European Continent. The decrease in the water level
[01:37:09] in the Danube River makes transportation difficult
[01:37:13] in countries bordering the river. Passenger ships
[01:37:16] and river tours on the rivers have to review their
[01:37:20] travel plans due to the decreasing water level. The effects
[01:37:24] of drought are not limited to transportation and tourism,
[01:37:27] energy production and agriculture are also affected by drought.
[01:37:31] The drop in the water level in the Danube River affects
[01:37:34] the operation of the nuclear power plant in Hungary. In Slovenia,
[01:37:37] the possibility of completely stopping production at the Krško
[01:37:40] nuclear power plant is on the agenda. In Romania, the army
[01:37:43] destroyed rocks in the riverbed
[01:37:46] to ensure more water reaches
[01:37:49] the Cernavodă nuclear power plant. Similarly, in countries
[01:37:52] like Spain and France, the pressure on water resources
[01:37:56] is increasing. A decrease in hydroelectric production
[01:37:59] is experienced. In Germany,
[01:38:01] some industrial facilities
[01:38:03] cannot access the water they need for their production processes.
[01:38:07] In countries like Romania and Hungary, reduced rainfall combined with hot weather
[01:38:10] brings concerns of crop
[01:38:13] yield loss in agricultural lands. Experts warn
[01:38:16] that if rainfall remains
[01:38:18] insufficient, the pressure
[01:38:21] on water resources will increase. And Europe is also
[01:38:25] battling forest fires triggered by extreme heat
[01:38:28] and drought. The increasing drought
[01:38:31] due to climate change is spreading the risk of fire
[01:38:35] across wider areas on the continent. Experts
[01:38:38] now draw attention not to individual fires,
[01:38:41] but to large disasters occurring in many regions simultaneously.
[01:38:47] The planet is warming, fires are growing,
[01:38:50] the toll in Europe is heavy, thousands of homes turned to ash
[01:38:54] with loss of life, over 300,000 people
[01:38:57] were left homeless.
[01:38:58] This is not an exception, but the new normal.
[01:39:02] Europe became the last front of this crisis.
[01:39:06] Climate change has significantly
[01:39:09] increased the risk of fire, especially in the Mediterranean.
[01:39:12] Drought has turned
[01:39:14] Europe into a firebed
[01:39:16] in spring. According to scientists, climate
[01:39:20] change, temperature,
[01:39:21] and drought extend fire seasons.
[01:39:39] We had a very hot summer, and this made the environment
[01:39:43] as dry as tinder. For this reason, even
[01:39:46] the smallest spark can turn into a huge forest fire. This picture is the result
[01:39:50] of the warming trend created by human-induced
[01:39:53] climate change and greenhouse gas emissions.
[01:39:59] Large fires breaking out simultaneously
[01:40:01] in Europe make intervention difficult. The fires
[01:40:05] that started simultaneously
[01:40:06] in many countries
[01:40:09] this year are the most striking example of this. The conditions
[01:40:12] that cause fires to break out and spread rapidly
[01:40:16] are increasing. For this reason, when fires start,
[01:40:20] it becomes difficult to control them, and their consequences
[01:40:23] are more destructive. The large fires experienced in France, Spain, Greece, and Turkey
[01:40:28] show that this risk is increasing simultaneously
[01:40:32] across Europe. According to scientists, as the world
[01:40:35] continues to warm,
[01:40:41] similar disasters will inevitably occur more frequently.
[01:40:44] Agriculture and Forestry Minister İbrahim Yumaklı said that
[01:40:47] a record in vegetable production will be broken in the history of the Republic.
[01:40:51] He said that a harvest of over 140 million tons is expected.
[01:40:54] Minister Yumaklı emphasized that forest fires
[01:40:58] have decreased compared to last year, but that they
[01:41:01] against risks until October 31st.
[01:41:05] Agriculture and Forestry Minister İbrahim Yumaklı said
[01:41:08] that rainfall across the country has turned into abundance in agriculture.
[01:41:12] He announced that a harvest of over 140 million tons
[01:41:15] is expected in crop production.
[01:41:17] This figure will go down in history as the highest level
[01:41:21] in the history of the Republic. In terms of cereals,
[01:41:24] a harvest of over 23 million tons is estimated. The Soil Products
[01:41:28] Office has so far purchased 10 million tons of products,
[01:41:32] transferring 87 billion lira to farmers' accounts, and payments
[01:41:34] continue uninterrupted. Minister Yumaklı made
[01:41:38] a statement to journalists. He also made evaluations
[01:41:41] regarding forest fires. He stated that 600 million
[01:41:45] saplings and seeds will be brought together with the soil
[01:41:48] this year. He reminded that vigilance
[01:41:51] against fires should be maintained until October 31.
[01:41:54] The number of fires, which was 1970
[01:41:58] in the same period last year, decreased to 1170 this year.
[01:42:01] While interventions are supported by air with 28 aircraft
[01:42:04] and 119 helicopters, forests are monitored
[01:42:08] non-stop with 14 UAVs and a total of 776 towers,
[01:42:11] 184 of which are smart. Minister Yumaklı announced
[01:42:14] that an electronic ear tag application will be launched
[01:42:17] in the field of animal husbandry. He said that the first delivery
[01:42:21] of domestic and national electronic ear tags,
[01:42:24] developed jointly with the Defense Industry Presidency,
[01:42:31] will be made in Kars and the application will be implemented gradually.
[01:42:35] The YKS preference process continues
[01:42:37] for millions of candidates who dream of university.
[01:42:41] Experts do not find the approach of candidates
[01:42:44] who only write one university and department on their list correct. Due to the high
[01:42:48] concentration in the same score range
[01:42:52] this year, candidates are advised to consider
[01:42:55] the possibility of not being placed.
[01:42:58] It is recommended
[01:43:02] that all 24 preference rights be used.
[01:43:05] The YKS preference process continues for approximately
[01:43:09] 2.5 million university candidates. Some candidates
[01:43:12] fill all 24 preference rights, while others
[01:43:16] make a single preference based on a specific department
[01:43:19] and university goal. However, experts do not find
[01:43:22] this approach correct. If the student's
[01:43:25] reflex is primarily to win this year,
[01:43:28] then a single preference, let alone 10 preferences,
[01:43:32] is not enough. The most important thing students need
[01:43:35] to pay attention to is the pile-up. We are facing the biggest pile-up
[01:43:39] in YKS history
[01:43:42] to date. Especially in field tests, the questions
[01:43:46] being easier than last year increased the number of candidates
[01:43:50] with high scores. For this reason, there are
[01:43:53] more people in the same score range. For example,
[01:43:57] compared to last year, the number of students
[01:44:00] starting with 410 is 30% higher
[01:44:03] in that range. So what should the student do? In addition to increasing
[01:44:07] the number of their choices, we especially recommend
[01:44:10] making a wide range of choices. Candidates will create
[01:44:13] their preference lists based on their rankings.
[01:44:17] Experts recommend making at least 15 choices against the possibility of not being placed.
[01:44:21] The pile-up can surprise students, if they don't
[01:44:24] want to encounter this surprise,
[01:44:28] they should definitely make 24 choices if possible,
[01:44:31] but we also especially advise them
[01:44:34] not to write down a university where they don't want the department
[01:44:37] just to make 24 choices.
[01:44:41] "Astronomer candidates developed
[01:44:44] a telescope. Students of Sakarya University
[01:44:47] of Applied Sciences received domestic and national technology support
[01:44:51] from TÜBİTAK. Future astronomers can now
[01:44:54] observe the sky and galaxies
[01:44:57] with their
[01:44:58] own telescopes.
[01:45:03] Their hobbies led them to invent,
[01:45:06] aspiring astronomers
[01:45:10] produced a telescope. Students of Applied Sciences developed
[01:45:13] a domestic and national
[01:45:16] telescope. We did a lot of research on the internet
[01:45:19] about this. I had already developed myself
[01:45:22] in electronics. We tried to do everything
[01:45:25] ourselves, from its electronics to its mechanics. We really
[01:45:29] enjoyed putting the telescope together. And now
[01:45:33] we have a working telescope. Students can easily
[01:45:36] observe celestial bodies such as Saturn's rings,
[01:45:40] Venus, and the Moon with the computer-controlled
[01:45:43] telescope. We received support from TÜBİTAK's
[01:45:46] National Technology Clubs Union for club development,
[01:45:50] and with this support, we built a national telescope.
[01:45:53] Both the mechanical system, the electronic
[01:45:57] part, and the software
[01:45:58] part belong to my students,
[01:46:01] all of them are national. Sometimes something related
[01:46:05] to a celestial body needs to be followed
[01:46:08] within a few minutes. Sometimes it can take hours.
[01:46:12] Our project was precisely to find
[01:46:14] a solution to this. Future astronomers can now
[01:46:18] observe planets,
[01:46:18] star clusters, and galaxies more
[01:46:22] clearly. 9-year-old autistic
[01:46:26] Asilhan Günaydın living in Amasya
[01:46:30] started the Summer Quran course opened for special children.
[01:46:33] Asilhan's success in learning to read
[01:46:36] the Quran was celebrated
[01:46:41] by cutting a cake. Autistic Asilhan
[01:46:44] Günaydın, who attended the Summer Quran course
[01:46:48] opened in cooperation with Amasya Mufti's Office
[01:46:52] and Amasya Autism Association, learned to read the Quran.
[01:46:55] The success of 9-year-old Asilhan was celebrated
[01:46:57] with a program held
[01:47:00] in the mosque. A cake was cut for all the children,
[01:47:04] and a Quran was presented to Asilhan.
[01:47:07] I passed to the Quran. I am very happy
[01:47:10] that I passed to the Quran. I am also very excited.
[01:47:14] The families of the children who experienced their joy
[01:47:17] with the celebration in the mosque also participated.
[01:47:20] I congratulate our students,
[01:47:24] mashallah, each of them is more successful
[01:47:27] than the other. There are those who have passed
[01:47:30] the Quran, those who have learned prayers. I thank
[01:47:33] and congratulate them too. 68-year-old
[01:47:37] Arabi Nigonanga, a citizen of Chad,
[01:47:41] had not been able to walk for about a year
[01:47:43] due to advanced disc
[01:47:47] calcification. He came to Turkey and stood up again
[01:47:50] after knee replacement surgery at Ankara Bilkent City
[01:47:53] Hospital. 68-year-old Mr. Nanga, a citizen of Chad, had not been able to stand up or walk for a year, and could only continue his daily life with the support of his children.
[01:47:57] with the hope of being able to walk again. She came to
[01:47:59] Turkey.
[01:48:03] I couldn't walk or get up for a year, I was receiving
[01:48:06] treatment.
[01:48:13] The knee pains that started approximately 3 years ago gradually turned into advanced stage
[01:48:17] arthritis. After the examinations, a total knee
[01:48:20] prosthesis surgery was planned for the patient.
[01:48:24] As a result of the examinations and imaging, we diagnosed
[01:48:28] the patient with arthritis in both knees, which is commonly
[01:48:31] known as calcification. For this reason, the patient was later
[01:48:35] admitted to our clinic for treatment, by planning
[01:48:38] a total knee prosthesis surgery.
[01:49:10] also provides health services to patients from other countries. Ankara Bilkent
[01:49:13] City Hospital stands out as one of the important centers
[01:49:17] of health tourism.
[01:49:20] Patients from brotherly Turkic Republics in Central Asia, African
[01:49:24] countries, and Europe
[01:49:24] apply to us.
[01:49:29] In Sarıkamış district of Kars, a riot of colors
[01:49:33] occurred in nature during the summer season.
[01:49:36] Apollo butterflies, unique to the region, add a magnificent
[01:49:39] color and beauty to
[01:49:43] nature. Here are
[01:49:44] the details.
[01:49:48] Colorful flowers. Flowers among the pine forests.
[01:49:51] Butterflies landing on flowers.
[01:49:53] The most important feature
[01:49:56] of butterflies is actually
[01:50:00] to ensure biodiversity in this beautiful geography, and
[01:50:03] they support pollination to prepare vegetables, fruits,
[01:50:06] plants, and trees here for the next
[01:50:09] generation. These images, where butterflies
[01:50:13] compete with flowers in beauty, are from Sarıkamış
[01:50:16] district of Kars.
[01:50:19] The most beautiful season, the most appropriate time.
[01:50:23] Especially Sarıkamış is the richest place in the region
[01:50:26] in terms of butterfly species. The most prominent species
[01:50:30] is the Apollo butterfly.
[01:50:33] It is one of the largest butterflies in Turkey and one of its most important
[01:50:36] features is actually having translucent wings.
[01:50:40] Apollo butterflies live at high altitudes and can be
[01:50:43] seen up to 6000 meters.
[01:50:46] Sarıkamış also attracts nature photographers with its
[01:50:50] flower and butterfly visuals during the summer.
[02:00:43] again with the second segment of TRT News. Our
[02:00:46] clock shows 0:02. The calendar
[02:00:50] shows August 7, 2026, which
[02:00:53] is the 219th day of the year, a Friday.
[02:00:56] President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will pay a one-day
[02:01:00] working visit to Saudi Arabia. Erdoğan will
[02:01:02] meet with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Salman
[02:01:06] and Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
[02:01:09] The Director of Communications, Burhanettin Duran, made a statement
[02:01:13] regarding the visit on his social media
[02:01:16] account. He stated that President
[02:01:19] Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will pay a one-day
[02:01:22] working visit to Saudi Arabia today.
[02:01:24] Burhanettin Duran stated that within the framework
[02:01:28] of the visit, His Excellency the President is expected
[02:01:31] to meet with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince and Prime Minister
[02:01:34] Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al
[02:01:37] Saud and Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz
[02:01:41] Sharif. He said.
[02:01:44] Dedi.
[02:01:48] of a "Turkey without terror" is entered, diplomatic
[02:01:52] activity with regional countries continues.
[02:01:55] Syrian Foreign Minister Shaybani arrived in Ankara.
[02:01:59] Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and MIT Head İbrahim Kalın
[02:02:03] met separately with Shaybani. During the meetings,
[02:02:06] the integration of armed groups, especially the SDG,
[02:02:10] into the legitimate government in Syria was
[02:02:13] discussed.
[02:02:17] Syrian Foreign Minister Asad Hasan Shaybani was in Ankara
[02:02:21] after a new phase in the process of a "Turkey without terror"
[02:02:23] was implemented. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with his counterpart
[02:02:27] Shaybani. The agenda included the integration of armed groups
[02:02:31] into the central government in Syria.
[02:02:34] The integration of all armed elements and so-called
[02:02:38] formations under a central and legitimate national structure
[02:02:41] is essential for the unity of Syria and the stability
[02:02:44] of our region. Foreign Minister Fidan
[02:02:48] strongly emphasized the importance of the issue for Turkey.
[02:02:52] We cannot separate the prosperity and stability of Turkey
[02:02:55] and Syria. Any activities that disrupt stability
[02:02:58] in any corner of Syria also pose a threat
[02:03:02] to Turkey.
[02:03:03] Syrian Foreign Minister
[02:03:06] Shaybani stated that counter-terrorism is a fundamental element
[02:03:09] in the cooperation between Ankara and Damascus.
[02:03:12] He said.
[02:03:17] The clearing of our common borders from terrorism and
[02:03:21] their joint protection
[02:03:25] are important. The successful completion of this process
[02:03:27] will serve our common
[02:03:30] interests.
[02:03:33] MIT Head İbrahim Kalın also met with Syrian Foreign Minister
[02:03:36] Shaybani. During the meeting, the implications of the draft
[02:03:40] law regarding the "Turkey without terror" process for Syria
[02:03:44] were discussed. It was emphasized that constructive steps were being
[02:03:54] taken towards the ongoing integration of the SDG in Syria.
[02:03:58] Details of the alleged secret meeting between Iranian President
[02:04:01] Masoud Pezeshkian and Religious Leader Mujtaba Khamenei
[02:04:05] have emerged. According to the allegations, the brief
[02:04:08] meeting took place in a car with windows
[02:04:12] covered with black film.
[02:04:14] Pezeshkian could not see Khamenei.
[02:04:18] He only
[02:04:19] heard his voice.
[02:04:24] The agenda in Iran is the alleged meeting between President
[02:04:27] Pezeshkian and Religious Leader Khamenei. According to allegations
[02:04:31] in the Iranian press, Pezeshkian was taken to an unknown
[02:04:34] location in Tehran. He was put into a car with windows
[02:04:37] covered with black film. The
[02:04:39] inside of the car was also dark.
[02:04:47] The meeting lasted a few minutes. Pezeshkian was asked
[02:04:50] to get out of the car shortly after. News reports in the
[02:04:54] Iranian press claimed that this meeting disturbed Pezeshkian.
[02:04:57] Because Pezeshkian could not be sure if the
[02:05:01] person he met was Khamenei. It was claimed that Pezeshkian
[02:05:05] later requested a face-to-face meeting at Khamenei's official
[02:05:08] residence, but this request was denied.
[02:05:10] After Ali Khamenei was killed in a US-Israel attack on
[02:05:14] February 28, his son Mojtaba Khamenei was elected
[02:05:17] religious leader. However, Khamenei has not been seen in public
[02:05:21] since then. Pezeshkian said in May that he had a
[02:05:25] 2.5-hour meeting
[02:05:26] with Khamenei in a warm atmosphere.
[02:05:30] Iran announced that an agreement has been reached
[02:05:33] with Oman on the route to be established for the safe
[02:05:36] passage of commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
[02:05:40] This announcement created an expectation
[02:05:42] that tensions in the region could ease. While it was
[02:05:46] stated that the joint declaration has reached its final stage, the media
[02:05:49] in the United States claims that
[02:05:53] ships will use different routes for entry and
[02:05:57] exit in the strait. However, despite
[02:06:00] the mutual statements, the uncertainty in the Strait of Hormuz
[02:06:04] has not yet
[02:06:06] completely disappeared.
[02:06:08] Yes, now we will turn our cameras to Washington for
[02:06:12] the latest developments in the capital of the United States. My senior
[02:06:16] colleague from the TT news team, Tuna Şanlı, is with us.
[02:06:19] Tuna, good evening, hello.
[02:06:22] Now, there's been a rising and
[02:06:25] falling tension for 6
[02:06:28] months. "This is the last chance,
[02:06:31] we will hit, we will exterminate the locals," says
[02:06:35] Trump, while on the other side, the Tehran administration
[02:06:38] is begging him to sign
[02:06:42] a peace treaty, practically
[02:06:45] scrambling, it is stated. On the other hand, we see
[02:06:49] that there is no homogeneous
[02:06:52] administrative structure in Iran, there are differences
[02:06:56] between President Pezeshkian and the Revolutionary
[02:07:00] Guards." Different approaches are at stake, and I suppose
[02:07:04] Foreign Minister Arakchi should also be added
[02:07:07] to this. How does the latest situation in the US-Iran
[02:07:11] tensions look from the Washington front, and will diplomatic
[02:07:14] contacts regarding the Strait
[02:07:17] of Hormuz change the situation on the ground?
[02:07:21] Do these contacts continue? I will mention the prominent
[02:07:25] messages in Donald Trump's recent statements,
[02:07:27] and I will give you the floor immediately.
[02:07:33] Now, Fuat Gözlüklu, for a long time we have been experiencing
[02:07:36] a process where statements do not match the developments
[02:07:40] on the ground regarding the US-Iran war. Especially
[02:07:43] President Donald Trump's statements like "the war is ending,
[02:07:47] we are close to an agreement, the Strait of Hormuz is opening,
[02:07:50] I will hit Iran, I will destroy it, I will leave no stone
[02:07:54] unturned" - this list has no end, of course.
[02:07:57] We can increase the number of these statements and examples.
[02:08:01] We have seen many times that they have no real impact
[02:08:04] on the ground. Donald Trump said in a statement a few
[02:08:07] hours ago that he thinks the war with Iran will end
[02:08:11] very soon. He had made this statement very often before,
[02:08:14] but this war never ended. Therefore, when you look
[02:08:18] at the statements, there is a positive picture
[02:08:21] right now, but there is no
[02:08:24] real impact on the ground. Because we have no data
[02:08:28] that oil flow has reached the level it was at when
[02:08:31] the memorandum of understanding was signed. When you listen
[02:08:35] to Trump, he says that the Strait of Hormuz is under
[02:08:38] our control and open, whereas everyone knows that
[02:08:42] it is not completely open. Many ships
[02:08:45] and tankers that want to pass through there refrain
[02:08:49] from doing so out of fear of an Iranian attack.
[02:08:52] On the other hand, there is a claim made by the
[02:08:56] New York Times in the American press, which is based on high-level
[02:09:00] officials. They do not disclose the names of these officials.
[02:09:03] According to this claim, the Strait of Hormuz
[02:09:06] Agreement between the US and Iran has entry and exit
[02:09:10] points that include different
[02:09:12] routes. That is,
[02:09:14] ships and tankers that want to enter the Persian Gulf
[02:09:17] will use the northern route, which is close
[02:09:21] to the Iranian coast. Tankers and ships that
[02:09:24] want to exit the Persian Gulf using the Strait
[02:09:27] of Hormuz will use the southern
[02:09:31] route, which is close to the Omani coast.
[02:09:34] So, a route close to Iran for entry, and a route
[02:09:37] close to Oman for exit, is in question. This
[02:09:40] is the claim of the New York Times. This
[02:09:44] has not yet been confirmed or denied by American
[02:09:47] officials in Washington. Therefore, official statements
[02:09:50] from the two capitals in the coming days have
[02:09:54] gained more importance at this point. If we look at the current
[02:09:57] situation, the statements are positive compared to
[02:10:01] previous weeks. The American military announced that
[02:10:05] it has conditionally ended its 12 consecutive nights
[02:10:08] of attacks, but this does not mean that
[02:10:11] it will not strike again tomorrow. Although the statements
[02:10:15] are positive, no meeting program or timeline has been
[02:10:18] announced so far. Therefore, we are entering another critical
[02:10:22] weekend. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will pay a one-day
[02:10:25] visit to Saudi Arabia today and there,
[02:10:29] he will meet not only with Prince
[02:10:32] Salman, but also with the Pakistani leader,
[02:10:35] who emerged as the main actor in
[02:10:38] these Iran-US talks. This will
[02:10:42] probably be a new signal of hope,
[02:10:45] I don't know, but before the broadcast,
[02:10:49] in our conversation, you mentioned one of the claims circulating
[02:10:52] in Washington corridors, which states that President
[02:10:55] Trump reacted harshly to Defense Secretary Hackset
[02:10:59] regarding the alleged rapid depletion of missile
[02:11:02] stocks due to Iranian operations.
[02:11:05] You said he expressed strong disapproval. Now,
[02:11:09] we know that
[02:11:13] Prazev denied these reports,
[02:11:16] but I want to ask how these claims are evaluated
[02:11:19] in the capital's circles. Are there any comments
[02:11:23] about a disagreement within the administration regarding Iran policy
[02:11:26] and military preparations? Can we talk
[02:11:30] about concrete data or rhetoric
[02:11:34] on this?
[02:11:39] Now, first of all, this is a claim by the Washington
[02:11:43] Post. It's a claim that there was a disagreement between Trump and Hexet,
[02:11:46] and that Trump lashed out at Hexet
[02:11:50] because American ammunition was used
[02:11:53] very heavily in the Iran war
[02:11:56] and the US Army's stocks were depleted.
[02:11:59] This was denied by the White House. Trump
[02:12:02] denied it a few hours ago. He made
[02:12:05] a social media post and said that
[02:12:09] P. Texatin had done a great job in the
[02:12:12] operation where the Venezuelan president was brought
[02:12:15] from Caracas to the United States, as well as in
[02:12:19] the Iran war. He said there was no problem
[02:12:23] between him and Hackset and accused the Washington
[02:12:27] Post of spreading fake news. Therefore,
[02:12:30] this has been denied by the highest authorities,
[02:12:34] but on the other hand, Trump made a post today
[02:12:37] that I think is very important because it contains
[02:12:41] contradictory statements. What is this post about?
[02:12:44] This post is about the claim that has been brought
[02:12:48] up several times in recent weeks, most recently by
[02:12:51] the New York Times yesterday, and also by CNN,
[02:12:54] that the US military's ammunition stocks, especially
[02:12:57] those of sophisticated weapons and precision-guided
[02:13:00] missiles, have significantly decreased.
[02:13:04] Yes, now in his post today, Trump both
[02:13:07] denied this but also, in the
[02:13:10] same post, made an admission, as if
[02:13:14] these reports were true. Now let
[02:13:17] me read you Trump's statement. Trump said that
[02:13:20] the United States has enormous
[02:13:23] quantities of ammunition, especially
[02:13:26] of certain types. With this sentence, he denies
[02:13:29] the reports, implying that our ammunition has not decreased.
[02:13:32] Donald Trump continued as follows: "Also,
[02:13:36] large quantities of ammunition are being produced and
[02:13:39] delivered to the United States as needed. Our country's
[02:13:42] defense industry companies are building the most
[02:13:46] facilities and factories in its history." Now
[02:13:49] I come to the contradictory sentence: "Those
[02:13:51] who leaked these traitorous statements are being pursued,
[02:13:55] and long prison sentences will be demanded." So,
[02:13:58] there are things that have been leaked,
[02:14:02] because if they are pursuing the leakers, then
[02:14:05] there is some information that has been leaked. This
[02:14:09] also leads to comments like "Is the news true?
[02:14:12] Is Trump admitting it?" Therefore, this statement
[02:14:15] was interesting and important. However, this is
[02:14:18] not a secret; it has been brought
[02:14:21] up several times here that the US Army's stocks
[02:14:24] of missiles, such as Tomahawks and Patriots,
[02:14:28] both offensive and defensive, and other ammunition,
[02:14:32] decreased significantly due to heavy use,
[02:14:36] especially in the first month of the war.
[02:14:39] And even in that first month
[02:14:42] of the war, Donald Trump, who hosted
[02:14:45] the CEOs of defense companies at the White House,
[02:14:48] announced after the meeting that American defense
[02:14:52] companies had agreed to quadruple the production
[02:14:55] of the sophisticated weapons and missiles
[02:14:59] I mentioned. Therefore, there is a widespread belief
[02:15:02] in Washington that there has been a decrease
[02:15:06] in stocks. If the Trump administration wants to put
[02:15:09] an end to discussions on this issue,
[02:15:12] official figures regarding these stocks
[02:15:15] need
[02:15:18] to be released in the future. Now let's come to
[02:15:21] the issue of many expectant parents from Turkey
[02:15:25] going to the United States and staying
[02:15:28] there for 5-6
[02:15:30] months, renting houses or staying in hotel
[02:15:34] rooms, for the purpose of childbirth. This is
[02:15:38] a global phenomenon for obtaining US citizenship, let's call it commercial
[02:15:42] birth tourism. The American media reports
[02:15:45] that President Trump will sign an executive
[02:15:49] order aimed at preventing
[02:15:51] the granting of citizenship to children born in
[02:15:55] the United States under this commercial
[02:15:58] he wrote. Uh, was it signed?
[02:16:02] Will this decree be applied retroactively
[02:16:05] if it was signed?
[02:16:09] Uh, what kind of evaluation is being
[02:16:12] made in
[02:16:13] Washington regarding this regulation?
[02:16:17] Donald Trump signed two decrees regarding this issue
[02:16:20] and uh our viewers will remember that
[02:16:24] about a year ago he signed
[02:16:27] a similar decree, and then the issue
[02:16:31] went all the way to the Supreme Court after it was
[02:16:34] taken to court, and the Supreme Court
[02:16:37] overturned Donald Trump's decree aimed at preventing birthright
[02:16:41] citizenship in the United States. So Trump lost to the Supreme Court.
[02:16:44] Yes, now he signed two decrees
[02:16:48] and uh he slightly changed
[02:16:51] the definition with some clear
[02:16:55] lines. Actually, it's the same in essence,
[02:16:58] but the people it covers are different,
[02:17:02] defined with clearer lines, and actually
[02:17:05] for national security reasons,
[02:17:09] Donald Trump is trying
[02:17:12] to prevent this law, this decree,
[02:17:15] from being blocked by the
[02:17:17] Supreme Court this time. So,
[02:17:21] one of the presidential decrees he signed
[02:17:25] today aims to prohibit birth tourism. He presented
[02:17:29] a similar version of the first decree he submitted, and this
[02:17:31] one might also be overturned by the Supreme Court. In the second
[02:17:35] decree, however, there are much clearer
[02:17:38] definitions. It states that a wide
[02:17:41] range of people, including enemies of the
[02:17:45] United States, members of terrorist organizations,
[02:17:47] and those lobbying and acting on behalf of foreign
[02:17:51] governments, will not be eligible for birthright citizenship.
[02:17:55] So, even if these people come here and
[02:17:59] give birth, their children will not be given
[02:18:03] passports. You may have noticed that these people I
[02:18:06] mentioned will not be members of terrorist
[02:18:10] organizations, enemies of the United States,
[02:18:13] or lobby against this country. These are highly
[02:18:16] legitimate reasons that can be classified as national
[02:18:20] security. Therefore, the likelihood of this decree being overturned
[02:18:24] by the Supreme Court is very low this time. However, let's
[02:18:28] not speak on behalf of the Supreme Court. If this decision
[02:18:31] is taken to court in the coming days,
[02:18:35] the path to the Supreme Court might open again,
[02:18:38] but it doesn't seem highly likely that
[02:18:41] such a clearly defined issue, which truly
[02:18:44] concerns the national security of the country,
[02:18:47] will be taken to the Supreme Court. I mean,
[02:18:51] who would say, "No, let a member of
[02:19:03] a terrorist organization come here, and let's
[02:19:07] give citizenship to their child?" So, I think
[02:19:10] Trump's decree will be challenged in
[02:19:14] clearly outlined. Which country's citizens
[02:19:18] will they define as American friends
[02:19:20] or enemies? In the past, there were citizens
[02:19:24] of some countries who committed terrorist
[02:19:27] acts in the United States, but their
[02:19:31] relations with these countries continue in
[02:19:33] every sense. Trump even sells weapons
[02:19:37] to them, visits
[02:19:41] them, and praises their leaders. So,
[02:19:45] what will be the definition and measure? I
[02:19:48] think there will be no country restriction
[02:19:52] or obstacle for countries, but rather
[02:19:56] personal obstacles for that person.
[02:19:59] In other words, if they have shown
[02:20:03] hostility towards the United States in the
[02:20:06] past, or if they have a membership
[02:20:09] in an organization, or if they have been
[02:20:12] found to be lobbying against the United
[02:20:16] States, they will already be on the
[02:20:19] blacklist. So, even if their entry
[02:20:22] to the United States has not been
[02:20:26] prevented, their child will not
[02:20:29] be granted citizenship in the birth they
[02:20:33] will have after entering. This
[02:20:35] is what I understand
[02:20:37] from this decree. Yes. Uh,
[02:20:41] meanwhile, another claim that attracted
[02:20:44] attention in the American press was
[02:20:48] on the agenda. It was claimed that
[02:20:51] the CIA had secretly formed a task
[02:20:54] force to expand its operations against
[02:20:58] Cuba. What are the details of this
[02:21:01] claim? Uh
[02:21:06] Cuba is already plunged into darkness.
[02:21:09] It's a country under the siege
[02:21:12] of the United States intelligence
[02:21:16] structure. It's even frequently brought
[02:21:19] up that a military operation is just
[02:21:22] a matter of time in the last
[02:21:26] 5-6 months. What would you say
[02:21:30] about this? Uh, Cuba has
[02:21:33] been one of the countries where the
[02:21:37] United States is often said to
[02:21:40] intervene in these matters for 60
[02:21:43] years. And it is claimed by the
[02:21:47] New York Times that the CIA
[02:21:49] is conducting an operation in this
[02:21:53] region, and that this step actually
[02:21:56] aims to expand intelligence operations in
[02:22:00] Cuba and increase pressure on the
[02:22:04] Cuban government and people. Of course,
[02:22:07] this has not yet been confirmed by
[02:22:10] the authorities, but it has not
[02:22:14] been denied either by the New
[02:22:17] York Times. Therefore, it is also said
[02:22:20] that this team established within the
[02:22:24] CIA may carry out some covert
[02:22:27] and hidden actions to increase pressure
[02:22:31] on Cuba. It is also claimed
[02:22:34] here that the Cuba task force
[02:22:37] is a task force that aims
[02:22:41] to overthrow the Cuban government
[02:22:44] through economic and various pressures
[02:22:47] without the need for a military
[02:22:51] operation by the United States against
[02:22:53] this country, and especially aims
[02:22:57] to create a movement among the people. Therefore,
[02:23:01] Cuba will be a country whose
[02:23:04] name will be heard a lot
[02:23:08] in the world
[02:23:09] in the coming
[02:23:14] period, especially after
[02:23:17] the midterm elections, if the Republicans
[02:23:21] do not lose the House of
[02:23:24] Representatives and the Senate. You say
[02:23:28] if they don't lose. Isn't
[02:23:31] it the first Tuesday of November?
[02:23:34] Right? Yes. The entire House
[02:23:37] of Representatives and one-third of the
[02:23:41] Senate will be renewed. But
[02:23:45] I remember our broadcasts from
[02:23:48] a month and a half ago,
[02:23:52] before this. There was an atmosphere
[02:23:55] in public opinion polls that the
[02:23:58] Republicans would lose the House of
[02:24:02] Representatives, and even the Senate. Now that you
[02:24:06] say they won't
[02:24:09] lose, what do you say?
[02:24:17] Projections still indicate that the
[02:24:20] House could go
[02:24:48] You know, Americans like a divided government system.
[02:24:52] No matter how successful the president
[02:24:55] is, in the first midterm election,
[02:24:59] at least one wing or both
[02:25:01] wings of Congress are given to the
[02:25:05] opposing party to have a control
[02:25:08] mechanism. Therefore, this was the
[02:25:11] culture of this country, but the
[02:25:14] United States has
[02:25:15] also changed a
[02:25:20] lot, especially in the last two
[02:25:23] presidential terms. We can also
[02:25:27] mention this. Therefore, I can say
[02:25:30] that the Democrats are not in
[02:25:34] a very good situation, meaning
[02:25:37] they don't have a leader at
[02:25:41] their head. Therefore, they
[02:25:45] may not face the same situation
[02:25:47] the international community.
[02:25:50] The foreign ministers of 8 countries
[02:25:53] made a joint statement regarding
[02:25:57] Israel's ongoing attacks and violations against civilians
[02:26:01] in Gaza. The
[02:26:03] foreign ministers of Turkey, the United
[02:26:07] Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Qatar,
[02:26:10] Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,
[02:26:14] and Jordan stated that the attacks
[02:26:18] in the Gaza
[02:26:28] Strip were a
[02:26:28] grave violation
[02:26:33] of international law. The ministers
[02:26:36] expressed their strongest condemnation and
[02:26:39] rejection of Israeli violations, including
[02:26:43] the targeting of health facilities and
[02:26:46] medical infrastructure, attacks on civilian
[02:26:50] infrastructure, and the continuation of
[02:26:53] civilian casualties, including women and
[02:26:57] children. The joint
[02:27:00] statement noted that the continuation
[02:27:03] of violations undermined international efforts
[02:27:07] and deepened the humanitarian catastrophe.
[02:27:11] The ministers emphasized that ensuring
[02:27:14] the immediate, safe, and unimpeded
[02:27:17] delivery of humanitarian aid, medical
[02:27:20] supplies, and reconstruction assistance
[02:27:24] throughout the Gaza Strip were
[02:27:27] legal obligations that could not
[02:27:30] be compromised or alleviated under
[02:27:34] any circumstances. It was also
[02:27:38] stated that Israel's violations in
[02:27:40] Gaza, the West Bank, and East
[02:27:43] Jerusalem aimed
[02:27:46] to create faits accomplis
[02:27:50] and were a systematic policy
[02:27:53] that marginalized the legitimate
[02:27:56] rights of the Palestinian people. A call was
[02:28:00] made to the
[02:28:03] United Nations Security Council
[02:28:07] and the international community. They
[02:28:11] reiterated their calls for practical
[02:28:14] and effective measures to compel
[02:28:17] Israel to fulfill
[02:28:20] its obligations under international
[02:28:23] law and to ensure accountability
[02:28:27] for those responsible for grave violations.
[02:28:31] The Palestine Convoy,
[02:28:35] which set off from
[02:28:38] Bosnia and Herzegovina
[02:28:41] to support the Palestinian
[02:28:45] people, reached Kahramanmaraş after
[02:28:48] Adana. More than 500 activists
[02:28:52] from 20 countries,
[02:28:56] along with those who
[02:28:59] welcomed them, protested the
[02:29:03] tyranny of genocidal Israel.
[02:29:07] They wanted to be the
[02:29:10] voice of the
[02:29:13] Palestinian people. They set off
[02:29:16] for the West Bank. The
[02:29:21] next stop of the Palestine
[02:29:25] Land Convoy, which set
[02:29:28] off from Bosnia and
[02:29:31] Herzegovina to draw
[02:29:35] attention to the oppression
[02:29:39] in Israel, was Kahramanmaraş.
[02:29:41] The convoy was welcomed with
[02:29:44] Turkish and Palestinian flags. After
[02:29:48] the city
[02:30:27] tour, the participants of
[02:30:30] the convoy gathered in
[02:30:33] front of the Mithatpaşa Mosque.
[02:30:37] We integrated with them as the Istanbul
[02:30:41] team.
[02:30:50] Then we continued our
[02:30:53] journey. To be the voice
[02:30:57] of Gaza, which has
[02:31:00] been oppressed and subjected
[02:31:03] to genocide for years
[02:31:07] before the eyes of
[02:31:10] the world, to break
[02:31:13] this blockade,
[02:31:16] and to get even
[02:31:19] one step closer to
[02:31:22] the freedom of Palestine.
[02:31:26] We have been boycotting
[02:31:29] for a year for our Palestinian
[02:31:33] brothers and sisters, and
[02:31:35] we will
[02:31:39] continue to boycott. The
[02:31:42] convoy's next stop after
[02:31:46] Kahramanmaraş was Gazi.
[02:31:49] The committee discussions on
[02:31:52] the 12-article proposal are
[02:31:56] expected to be completed
[02:32:00] in a short time. After
[02:32:03] the proposal is accepted
[02:32:06] by the committee, it
[02:32:10] will be on the
[02:32:13] agenda of the General
[02:32:17] Assembly. General Assembly discussions
[02:32:20] are expected
[02:32:22] to begin
[02:32:27] this weekend. As an alliance,
[02:32:30] we took a historic step.
[02:32:34] By initiating the process
[02:32:38] of a Turkey without terrorism,
[02:32:40] we not only put
[02:32:44] our hands but also
[02:32:47] our bodies under the
[02:32:50] stone. Historic days are
[02:32:53] being lived
[02:32:55] in the
[02:33:02] Grand National Assembly of
[02:33:06] Turkey. A critical threshold
[02:33:09] has been crossed in
[02:33:12] the goal of a Turkey without
[02:33:15] terrorism.
[02:33:17] The law proposal on
[02:33:21] strengthening national solidarity and
[02:33:24] social integration was submitted
[02:33:28] to the Speaker's Office of
[02:33:37] the Assembly. Discussions on
[02:33:40] the 12-article law proposal
[02:33:43] will begin today in
[02:33:47] the Assembly's Justice Committee.
[02:33:51] The committee discussions on
[02:33:54] the proposal, which was
[02:33:58] submitted with the signatures
[02:34:01] of 356 deputies, are
[02:34:04] expected to be completed
[02:34:08] in a short time. After
[02:34:12] the proposal is accepted
[02:34:15] by the committee, it
[02:34:18] will be
[02:34:20] on the
[02:34:23] agenda of the General
[02:34:26] Assembly. General Assembly discussions
[02:34:29] are planned to begin
[02:34:32] this weekend. The first
[02:34:36] condition for the regulations
[02:34:39] in the
[02:34:43] proposal is that the
[02:34:45] terrorist organization must lay
[02:34:49] down its arms by
[02:34:53] ending its actual presence
[02:34:56] with all its organizational
[02:34:59] structure and all its
[02:35:03] elements
[02:35:06] under the control of
[02:35:10] the terrorist organization. After
[02:35:13] the determination of the
[02:35:16] security institutions,
[02:35:20] the confirmatory decision of
[02:35:23] the National
[02:35:26] Security Council will be
[02:35:29] published in the Official
[02:35:33] Gazette, and the process
[02:35:37] will begin. The proposal
[02:35:40] does not include general
[02:35:43] amnesty, special
[02:35:45] status for are being
[02:35:49] demanded for
[02:35:52] crimes such
[02:35:56] as establishing
[02:36:00] an organization and bid
[02:36:03] rigging. In
[02:36:07] Izmir, there
[02:36:10] is an investigation
[02:36:13] ongoing
[02:36:30] into alleged
[02:36:33] bid
[02:36:34] rigging
[02:36:38] at Egeşehir,
[02:36:41] a subsidiary of the
[02:36:45] Metropolitan Municipality,
[02:36:49] The draft law only covers the
[02:36:53] PKK and KCK, and
[02:36:57] does not cover other
[02:37:00] terrorist organizations.
[02:37:03] and two
[02:37:07] more people
[02:37:10] have been
[02:37:14] arrested within
[02:37:17] the scope
[02:37:21] of the
[02:37:24] investigation. Among
[02:37:28] those arrested
[02:37:31] is
[02:37:33] Veli, the
[02:37:37] New Party
[02:37:40] Malatya Deputy.
[02:37:44] Çaykara and
[02:37:47] "Turkey without
[02:37:51] terrorism" brotherhood
[02:37:54] meeting. "We are
[02:37:57] resolutely advancing
[02:38:00] towards our goals
[02:38:04] in this process
[02:38:07] that we started
[02:38:10] so that no mother
[02:38:14] sheds
[02:38:16] tears. We will build
[02:38:20] a great and strong
[02:38:23] Turkey together,
[02:38:26] God willing. We
[02:38:30] need this,
[02:38:33] and "Turkey without
[02:38:37] terrorism" is a
[02:38:40] historic
[02:38:42] step."
[02:38:45] New Party Leader
[02:38:48] Özgür Özel met
[02:38:51] with his party's
[02:38:55] deputies to discuss
[02:38:58] the law proposal
[02:39:01] on strengthening national
[02:39:03] solidarity
[02:39:16] after the meeting,
[02:39:19] he said, "We made
[02:39:22] our evaluations. We will
[02:39:25] cast our votes
[02:39:29] in the General Assembly
[02:39:32] stage."
[02:39:37] "Whether it's Monday
[02:39:40] or Sunday, when it
[02:39:43] comes, we will
[02:39:46] also attend
[02:39:50] the General Assembly
[02:39:53] stage and cast
[02:39:56] our votes." He evaluated
[02:39:59] the law proposal
[02:40:02] on strengthening national
[02:40:06] solidarity Özcan
[02:40:09] Zenger,
[02:40:10] who were
[02:40:15] suspended from their
[02:40:18] duties as the
[02:40:20] Mayor of Avcılar
[02:40:24] District in Istanbul.
[02:40:27] However, it ruled
[02:40:31] that the detention
[02:40:35] of five other defendants
[02:40:39] should continue.
[02:40:42] The Aziz
[02:40:45] Ihsan Aktaş
[02:40:49] criminal organization
[02:40:53] case, heard
[02:40:56] at the Istanbul
[02:41:00] 1st High Criminal
[02:41:03] Court, continues.
[02:41:06] A monthly
[02:41:08] detention
[02:41:27] In the examination
[02:41:31] conducted
[02:41:32] by the
[02:41:35] court panel,
[02:41:39] it was decided
[02:41:43] to continue the detention
[02:41:46] of 53 defendants,
[02:41:49] including The elder brother of
[02:41:52] Ağababa, Hür Ağababa, is also present. The millionaire
[02:41:55] money traffic of Hür Ağababa was also included in the
[02:41:59] MASAK report.
[02:42:00] The investigation
[02:42:03] into the urban transformation projects of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality
[02:42:07] in Karşıyaka Örnekköy neighborhood continues. Two more
[02:42:10] people were arrested within the scope of the investigation
[02:42:14] carried out by the Izmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. Veli Ağababa's
[02:42:17] brother Hür Ağababa, the New Party Malatya Deputy,
[02:42:21] is also among those arrested. It was determined that the suspects
[02:42:24] acted in coordination with Süleyman, the General Manager of Egeşehir,
[02:42:28] who is still under arrest. The millionaire
[02:42:31] money traffic of the arrested Hür Ağababa was also included in the
[02:42:34] MASAK report. According to the report, there was a sharp increase
[02:42:38] in Ağababa's money transfers, especially starting from
[02:42:41] 2023. While the
[02:42:44] total of money inflows and outflows in 2022 was approximately
[02:42:47] 30.5 million Turkish Liras, this figure
[02:42:50] exceeded 95 million Turkish Liras
[02:42:53] in 2023. Money traffic increased even further in 2024.
[02:42:57] There was an inflow of 46,840,000 Turkish Liras
[02:43:01] against an outflow of 58,920,000 Turkish Liras.
[02:43:04] In the last 6 years, 343 million Turkish Liras
[02:43:08] of transfers were made in Hür Ağababa's accounts.
[02:43:11] The investigation examines on what commercial
[02:43:15] relations these millionaire transfers were based.
[02:43:18] In Egeşehir, 4 people
[02:43:22] were arrested on May 23 with charges of establishing an organization
[02:43:25] to commit a crime, being a member of an organization, and rigging tenders.
[02:43:29] A new development
[02:43:31] occurred
[02:43:35] in the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality bribery and corruption
[02:43:38] case. A former secretary general
[02:43:42] who was previously arrested and released during the trial
[02:43:45] process, along with a businessman, were
[02:43:48] taken into custody again. The two suspects
[02:43:52] who were sent to the courthouse were released after their statements
[02:43:55] to the prosecutor. On the other hand, it was alleged
[02:43:59] that Tuğçe Güney, the official of the Antalya Metropolitan
[02:44:02] Municipality Youth Center, who was arrested
[02:44:06] in the prostitution operation, acted as an intermediary
[02:44:09] for Muhittin Böcek
[02:44:10] and his son.
[02:44:14] They were arrested in the bribery and corruption investigation
[02:44:17] at Antalya Metropolitan Municipality. While the case was ongoing,
[02:44:21] they benefited from effective repentance and were released. A former
[02:44:24] secretary general, along with a businessman, were taken into custody
[02:44:28] again as part of the ongoing investigation. Serkan
[02:44:30] Temuçin and Çağrı Gümüşlü had shared some information by benefiting
[02:44:34] from effective repentance when they were first detained last year,
[02:44:38] and they had been released. However, the investigation
[02:44:41] was deepened, and it was determined that the two suspects did not
[02:44:45] share some information. The Antalya Chief Public Prosecutor's
[02:44:48] Office's investigation is continuing in multiple directions. The two suspects,
[02:44:52] who were sent to the courthouse after their procedures at the Antalya Provincial Police Department,
[02:44:56] were released by the prosecutor. On the other hand,
[02:44:59] 7 people were arrested in the prostitution operation
[02:45:02] in Antalya, where 12 suspects were taken into custody. Among those
[02:45:06] arrested is Tuğçe Güney, the official of the Antalya Metropolitan
[02:45:09] Municipality Youth Center. It was alleged that Güney acted as an intermediary
[02:45:13] for prostitution
[02:45:14] for former Antalya Metropolitan Municipality
[02:45:17] Mayor Muhittin Böcek and his son Gökan Böcek. After the suspension
[02:45:21] of Üsküdar District Mayor Sinem Dedetaş on charges of bribery
[02:45:24] and corruption, a new
[02:45:29] mayoral election was held. During the elections,
[02:45:32] there were letter disputes. Ak Party
[02:45:35] Istanbul Provincial Chairman Abdullah Özdemir alleged
[02:45:39] threats and marked ballots
[02:45:42] for the elections. He likened the mayoral
[02:45:46] election to a play. We
[02:45:48] declared
[02:45:50] this invalid in the previous one as well. It is written as G6 here,
[02:45:54] so I declare this invalid. There was
[02:45:57] an election for the mayoral proxy of Sinem Dedetaş,
[02:46:01] who was arrested on charges of corruption and malfeasance,
[02:46:04] but the election was controversial, and allegations of threats
[02:46:07] and marked ballots
[02:46:08] came to the agenda.
[02:46:12] In the 4th round, despite Dündar
[02:46:15] Ziya Gültek's name being clearly understood,
[02:46:18] there is a distortion in the form of 'k'.
[02:46:21] It is like 't' resembling 'z'. The Bayrampaşa
[02:46:24] theater and its play were performed here. AK Party
[02:46:28] Istanbul Provincial Chairman Abdullah Özdemir claimed that the will of the Republican
[02:46:32] People's Party council members was usurped in the elections.
[02:46:35] He stated that the new party cadres put pressure on the CHP council members
[02:46:38] that amounted to violence. "Extraordinary
[02:46:42] threats, fists flew in the air.
[02:46:45] The provincial chairman and district chairman
[02:46:48] of the New Party, who are democracy enthusiasts,
[02:46:52] occupied the Republican People's Party group
[02:46:55] there. In the election, which had high tension,
[02:46:58] there were discussions about marked ballots. Özdemir said that they
[02:47:02] would object to the election. They gave
[02:47:04] a marked ballot to the people they considered
[02:47:07] problematic. One of these was detected by a Republican People's
[02:47:11] Party council member. In the Uskudar Municipality
[02:47:14] Deputy Mayor elections, which took place under the shadow of discussions,
[02:47:18] the Republican People's Party's candidate, Council Member Sibeltan
[02:47:21] Çetinkaya, was elected as the Uskudar Deputy Mayor
[02:47:23] in the 4th round.
[02:47:27] The Ministry of Interior had announced that Mayor Sinem Dedetaş,
[02:47:30] who was arrested on charges of bribery and corruption,
[02:47:33] was suspended from duty.
[02:47:47] Yılmaz said that a global talent network
[02:47:50] was created with the National Competence Initiative.
[02:47:53] He emphasized the importance of the
[02:47:56] 'brain drain to brain power' approach.
[02:47:58] He said that in 2025,
[02:48:01] the number of those joining Aselsan from abroad
[02:48:04] reached 2.5 times the number of those leaving.
[02:48:08] Vice President Yılmaz was on the podium
[02:48:11] at the second anniversary event of the National
[02:48:14] Competence Initiative
[02:48:16] carried out by the Industry Academy.
[02:48:19] We are trying to provide motivation to our young people
[02:48:23] who will return to their country
[02:48:26] with a program that we call
[02:48:29] "from brain drain to brain power." He said that
[02:48:33] in 2025, the number of those joining Aselsan
[02:48:36] from abroad was...
[02:48:49] He said that a global talent network was created
[02:48:52] with the National Competence Initiative. Our goal of complete
[02:48:55] independence includes not only training
[02:48:58] our human resources who will develop
[02:49:01] critical technologies in our country, but also
[02:49:05] bringing qualified human
[02:49:07] resources from different centers of the world
[02:49:11] to Turkey. With this understanding,
[02:49:14] we are creating a global talent network by extending
[02:49:18] our National Competence Initiative beyond Turkey's
[02:49:22] borders. Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz
[02:49:25] was on the podium at the second anniversary
[02:49:28] event of the National Competence Initiative, organized in Ankara,
[02:49:32] which is carried out by the Defense Industry Academy. In the program, Defense
[02:49:35] Industry President Haluk Görgün also drew attention to
[02:49:38] the importance of trained human resources. "The issue
[02:49:42] is no longer just producing new platforms,
[02:49:44] but having the knowledge, corporate
[02:49:48] memory, engineering culture, and human competence to develop
[02:49:52] these platforms for years. We see
[02:49:56] human resources not as an employment
[02:49:59] item, but as a strategic capacity that will
[02:50:02] shape the future of our defense industry.
[02:50:05] Turkey's largest
[02:50:07] oil field
[02:50:11] Gabar is the most concrete outcome
[02:50:14] of the Terror-Free Turkey process. Minister
[02:50:17] of Energy and Natural Resources Alpassan
[02:50:21] Bayraktar said that oil production in Gabar
[02:50:24] broke a new record. He made a statement
[02:50:27] that it is a small glimpse of what Turkey
[02:50:31] can do when there is no terrorism. Minister Bayraktar
[02:50:35] also announced that Europe conveyed its demand to import
[02:50:38] Black Sea gas.
[02:50:40] Gabar
[02:50:44] actually showed us
[02:50:47] what a Terror-Free Turkey would be like. At the point
[02:50:50] we have reached today, we are producing 83,000 barrels
[02:50:54] of oil. As I just mentioned, we are creating a great employment
[02:50:57] effect. This is a small glimpse of what Turkey
[02:51:00] can do when there is no terrorism.
[02:51:03] He talked about Gabar, one of the most concrete
[02:51:07] examples of a Terror-Free Turkey. He listed the achievements
[02:51:10] one by one. He then brought up the Sakarya Gas Field,
[02:51:14] the pride of Turkey's domestic natural gas production.
[02:51:17] Europeans say that they want to buy gas other
[02:51:20] than Russian gas through Turkey. But their main focus is
[02:51:23] on the Sakarya Gas Field. Use the gas you want from any country.
[02:51:27] But for us, this is not Russian gas. Therefore,
[02:51:30] can you export this gas to Europe? This is
[02:51:33] one of the demands from all countries regarding gas, frankly.
[02:51:37] He said
[02:51:44] they wanted to turn the Development Road project
[02:51:48] into an energy road. He touched upon Ceyhan's
[02:51:51] strategic importance.
[02:51:55] Turkey wants to be everywhere in this business, in the construction
[02:51:58] of these pipelines, in the trade of these products. Turkey
[02:52:02] wants to obtain the raw materials and commodities, meaning
[02:52:05] oil and gas, for its own supply security. Turkey
[02:52:08] can obtain this crude oil for its own supply
[02:52:12] security, for its own refineries. Another point, we can
[02:52:16] literally make Ceyhan a Rotterdam. We have
[02:52:19] such a goal, that is, to transform it into a center
[02:52:23] where petroleum and petroleum products are stored,
[02:52:26] traded, and priced. It is a market of 3, 3.5 million barrels,
[02:52:30] which constitutes 3-3.5% of the world's demand.
[02:52:34] Minister Bayraktar also stated that they
[02:52:37] are working on a large electricity transmission line
[02:52:41] project that will carry Saudi Arabia's electricity
[02:52:44] to Turkey via Jordan and Syria. Turkey's
[02:52:47] energy supply security was also on his agenda.
[02:52:51] Our Silivri and Tuzgölü underground natural gas storage
[02:52:54] facilities are currently entering winter at 100% capacity.
[02:52:58] He said that their goal is to further increase these capacities.
[02:53:01] Minister Bayraktar also said that there are 10,000 tons
[02:53:04] of gold underground in Turkey. He used the expression
[02:53:07] "Our goal is 100 tons of production per year."
[02:53:10] Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır
[02:53:14] said that they increased the value added in the manufacturing
[02:53:18] industry to 250 billion dollars in 23 years. He said
[02:53:21] they are determined to move our country among the most developed
[02:53:24] countries in the world. Minister Kacır attended
[02:53:28] the closing conference of the Zero Waste Foundation's
[02:53:31] environment and climate
[02:53:32] change workshop in Trabzon.
[02:53:36] We have increased our manufacturing industry's value added from
[02:53:39] 41 billion dollars to over 250 billion
[02:53:43] dollars in 23 years. We have made Turkey
[02:53:46] first in Europe in the production of commercial vehicles,
[02:53:49] white goods, solar panels, and steel.
[02:53:53] He said that record levels were achieved
[02:53:57] in the manufacturing industry.
[02:54:00] We are determined to crown the achievements
[02:54:03] we have gained in 23 years with new successes
[02:54:05] in the Century of Turkey and to rapidly move our country
[02:54:09] among the most developed countries in the world.
[02:54:13] Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır
[02:54:17] visited Trabzon. After the opening and signing ceremonies, he attended
[02:54:21] the closing conference of the Zero Waste Foundation's environment
[02:54:24] and climate change workshop. He said that they will continue to integrate the zero waste
[02:54:28] vision into production processes and R&D policies.
[02:54:31] We will strive to carry this movement, which has taken
[02:54:35] root all over the world under the leadership of Mrs. Emine Erdoğan,
[02:54:39] to higher levels together. Our desire is to establish
[02:54:42] a development model that transforms existing
[02:54:45] resources into value again and combines local potential
[02:54:49] with production.
