[00:00:00] teams. I would like to emphasize that
[00:00:03] for 90 minutes, there was a very
[00:00:07] strong fan support here, from inside
[00:00:10] the stadium, the sound rising from the stands
[00:00:13] echoed strongly, and
[00:00:16] with the end of the match, the fans'
[00:00:19] satisfaction with the victory is
[00:00:23] now reflected on their faces. So, what kind of
[00:00:26] match did we watch? Let's talk about that too. Beşiktaş
[00:00:30] started the match quite eagerly and with
[00:00:33] pressure. In the first minutes, there
[00:00:36] was a strong attack, and our representative, Beşiktaş,
[00:00:39] found the goal they were looking for in the 15th
[00:00:43] minute. With the goal scored by İlhan,
[00:00:46] the black and whites took a 1-0 lead in the
[00:00:50] first half. After the early goal,
[00:00:53] Beşiktaş tried to both maintain their lead
[00:00:57] and be effective in the opponent's goal, but Marsilya
[00:01:43] made the score 4-1 against
[00:01:47] Marsilya. By the
[00:01:50] attack. What are we talking way, I want to underline that this was Ernest Pocu's
[00:01:53] first goal with the black and white
[00:01:56] jersey today. With that goal scored
[00:01:59] in this match, the score became
[00:02:02] 4-1, and Beşiktaş scored 4 goals
[00:02:06] today at Tüpraş Stadium. With this result,
[00:02:09] Beşiktaş made the start they wanted in their
[00:02:12] European journey. The black and whites had
[00:02:15] 5 wins and one defeat in 6 matches
[00:02:18] played in European Cups this season. Beşiktaş added another
[00:02:22] victory to their European
[00:02:25] wins with this match. A successful performance
[00:02:28] was displayed at Tüpraş Stadium, and by the
[00:02:32] way, Beşiktaş also left the field with
[00:02:35] a victory in their 265th match in
[00:02:38] European Cups, let us also mention
[00:02:41] this. In the European Cup journey
[00:02:45] that started in 1959, the black and whites
[00:02:49] represented Turkey abroad 47 times and are
[00:02:52] continuing their journey in the UEFA Europa
[00:02:56] League. So, how did they get to
[00:02:59] this point, to this stage? Let's talk
[00:03:02] about that briefly. Beşiktaş reached
[00:03:06] the league stage of the UEFA Europa
[00:03:09] League by passing 3 rounds. The
[00:03:12] black and white team, which started
[00:03:15] the organization from the second qualifying
[00:03:18] round, had previously met with Danish
[00:03:22] and Czech representatives and teams, and
[00:03:25] after those matches, today, at their
[00:03:29] own stadium in Tüpraş, in front
[00:03:32] of their fans, there was truly a goal
[00:03:36] rain. We can hear the cheers
[00:03:39] and slogans of the fans from inside
[00:03:43] and outside the stadium. Wherever we look,
[00:03:46] there were many fan groups in
[00:03:49] Beşiktaş and Dolmabahçe this afternoon. It
[00:03:52] was possible to see them, especially
[00:03:56] there were those who came to follow
[00:04:00] the match from different cities outside
[00:04:02] Istanbul, as well as those living
[00:04:06] in Istanbul, we had our expatriates,
[00:04:09] and of course, they came here with
[00:04:13] enthusiasm. That enthusiasm, as we mentioned
[00:04:16] at the beginning of our broadcast,
[00:04:20] has now completely turned into joy
[00:04:24] with a four-one lead. That's all
[00:04:27] we have to report from Beşiktaş,
[00:04:30] from around Tüpraş Stadium, and we
[00:04:34] hand it over
[00:04:37] to Merve Başkurt at TRT News
[00:04:40] Studios. Yes, our representative Beşiktaş's
[00:04:43] 4-1 victory against its French rival
[00:04:47] made us all happy, and we
[00:04:50] congratulate them. Let's say the giants of football will
[00:04:54] meet in Turkey
[00:04:58] for the Super Cup matches. The
[00:05:02] four major clubs of Spanish football
[00:05:05] will take the field in Istanbul
[00:05:09] in February. The introductory meeting
[00:05:43] of the organization was held in Istanbul,
[00:05:46] the host city. The introductory meeting
[00:05:50] of the giant organization was
[00:05:52] held with the participation of
[00:05:56] Youth and Sports Minister Osman Aşkın, and Culture and
[00:06:00] Tourism Minister Mehmet
[00:06:03] Nuri Ersoy. These clubs, including
[00:06:07] our own child Arda Güler,
[00:06:10] host some of the
[00:06:55] best footballers in the world. He
[00:06:59] came and said that the May
[00:07:02] 27th Coup was a severe blow
[00:07:05] to Turkish democracy and the will
[00:07:09] of the nation. Prime Minister Adnan
[00:07:12] Menderes, Foreign Minister Fatin Rüştü Zorlu,
[00:07:16] and Finance Minister Hasan Polatkan are
[00:07:19] commemorated as
[00:07:20] martyrs of democracy.
[00:07:24] President Erdoğan emphasized in his message
[00:07:28] that May 27th was a heavy
[00:07:31] blow to Turkish democracy and the
[00:07:34] will of the nation. Parliament Speaker
[00:07:38] Numan Kurtulmuş, Communications Director Burhanettin Duran,
[00:07:41] and AK Party spokesperson
[00:07:45] Ömer Çelik also shared messages. Erdoğan
[00:07:48] made a post on his social
[00:07:52] media account. Erdoğan
[00:07:53] commemorated Menderes and
[00:07:57] two ministers who were unjustly executed.
[00:08:01] I commemorate Prime Minister Adnan Menderes,
[00:08:05] Foreign Minister Fatin Rüştü Zorlu, and
[00:08:08] Finance Minister Hasan Polatkan, who were
[00:08:12] unjustly and unlawfully sentenced to death
[00:08:16] by the May 27th Junta Court,
[00:08:20] a severe blow to Turkish democracy
[00:08:23] and the will of the nation,
[00:08:27] on the 65th anniversary of their
[00:08:30] assassination with mercy. May Allah make
[00:08:33] their places heaven and their souls
[00:08:37] happy. Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş commemorated
[00:08:41] Menderes, Zorlu, and
[00:08:51] Polatkan with mercy in his message.
[00:08:54] After the May 27, 1960 coup
[00:08:57] that struck the
[00:09:00] will of the nation, Prime Minister
[00:09:04] Adnan Menderes, Fatin Rüşdü Zorlu, and
[00:09:07] Hasan Polatkan, who
[00:09:12] were separated from
[00:09:19] life, I commemorate with mercy and
[00:09:21] respect. Communications Director Burhanettin Duran stated
[00:09:25] that May 27th left a deep
[00:09:29] wound in Turkey's democracy history. The
[00:09:32] precious memories of Menderes, Zorlu, and
[00:09:35] Polatkan continue to live in the
[00:09:39] hearts of our nation despite 65
[00:09:42] years having passed.
[00:09:45] The 4th main runway of Istanbul
[00:09:48] Airport will be opened with the
[00:09:52] participation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
[00:09:55] The number of existing runways at
[00:09:59] the airport will increase to 6.
[00:10:03] Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdülkadir
[00:10:07] Uraloğlu announced that the capacity
[00:10:10] will further increase with the arrangements
[00:10:14] to be made
[00:10:15] at the airport.
[00:10:19] Within the scope of the works,
[00:10:22] the number of runways will gradually
[00:10:25] increase to 9. Minister Uraloğlu explained
[00:10:28] the investments made at Istanbul Airport
[00:10:31] and critical developments in a television
[00:10:34] program he attended. Now, right behind
[00:10:37] us, there are three runways in
[00:10:40] the north-south direction. These are valuable,
[00:10:44] of course, and they have served
[00:10:47] our airport so far and will
[00:10:50] continue to do so, but if
[00:10:53] you will be flying east
[00:10:56] from Istanbul, both in terms
[00:11:00] of capacity, a fourth runway, and
[00:11:03] if you're flying east from Istanbul,
[00:11:07] he announced that the capacity will
[00:11:11] increase with the arrangements to be
[00:11:14] made at the airport. He said
[00:11:17] that within the scope of the
[00:11:21] works, the number of runways will
[00:11:25] gradually increase to 9. Minister of
[00:11:29] Transport and Infrastructure Abdülkadir Uraloğlu explained
[00:11:31] the new investments and critical developments
[00:11:35] at Istanbul Airport in a television
[00:11:38] program he attended. We will build
[00:11:42] two more runways east of the
[00:11:45] three existing north-south
[00:11:49] runways. In essence, there will be
[00:11:52] five main runways there, three spare
[00:11:55] runways, and five main runways in the north-south direction.
[00:11:59] There will also be a main
[00:12:02] runway in the east-west direction. So,
[00:12:06] we will have
[00:12:07] 6 main runways
[00:12:11] and 3 spare runways in the
[00:12:14] end. Hopefully, when this is finished,
[00:12:17] it will be 9. The 4th
[00:12:20] main runway of Istanbul Airport will
[00:12:23] be opened with the participation of
[00:12:27] President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Flights to
[00:12:30] Central Asia and the Arabian Peninsula
[00:12:33] will be made from the 4th
[00:12:36] runway. The new runway is expected to bring
[00:12:40] advantages. All of Anatolia,
[00:12:43] all of Central Asia, all of
[00:12:46] the Arabian Peninsula,
[00:12:47] all of these,
[00:12:55] that is, wherever you want to
[00:12:58] fly east of Istanbul, you will
[00:13:02] now take off from the East-West
[00:13:06] Runway. Minister of Transport and Infrastructure
[00:13:09] Abdülkadir Uraloğlu also
[00:13:14] touched upon Turkey's flight network and
[00:13:18] global success. We
[00:13:18] had 26 airports.
[00:13:22] Today, we have built 32 new
[00:13:26] airports. We have renovated 16 from
[00:13:29] scratch. We have also built 16
[00:13:33] brand new airports.
[00:13:34] Today, there is
[00:13:38] a Turkey that flies to 350
[00:13:41] destinations in 133 countries. Minister Uraloğlu
[00:13:44] also explained the latest developments regarding
[00:13:48] the ship accident off Silivri. We
[00:13:51] will continue search and rescue efforts.
[00:13:55] We currently have
[00:13:55] 12 units there.
[00:13:59] We will not wait for the
[00:14:03] ship to be salvaged. That is
[00:14:06] not possible. We will continue to
[00:14:10] stand by our people who
[00:14:12] have lost their
[00:14:15] loved ones there.
[00:14:18] The construction of Ordu City Hospital
[00:14:22] has been completed. The health complex
[00:14:25] with a capacity
[00:14:29] of 1200 beds, for which temporary
[00:14:33] acceptance procedures have been made, will
[00:14:36] start admitting patients on September 19.
[00:14:39] It was built on an area
[00:14:43] of 308,000 square meters. 1070 seismic
[00:14:46] isolators were placed in its supporting
[00:14:49] columns. It has 386 polyclinics
[00:14:52] and 40 operating rooms. Ordu
[00:14:55] City Hospital, whose construction and temporary
[00:14:58] acceptance procedures have been completed, is
[00:15:02] counting down the days to admit
[00:15:06] patients. We are about to finish
[00:15:09] our final preparations to start admitting
[00:15:12] patients. Hopefully, we want to admit
[00:15:16] our first patient on September 19.
[00:15:19] After that, a rapid process will
[00:15:21] begin for us. The rooms of
[00:15:33] Ordu City Hospital were designed to
[00:15:36] be modern and
[00:15:44] comfortable, and all details were considered
[00:15:48] for the patients. The city hospital
[00:15:51] will serve with a capacity of
[00:15:55] 1200 beds. In
[00:15:56] addition to its
[00:16:00] physical capacity, the technological infrastructure of
[00:16:03] the hospital also attracts attention. It
[00:16:06] is aimed that the diagnosis and
[00:16:10] treatment processes of cancer patients will
[00:16:13] be carried out in the city
[00:16:16] hospital. In the rehabilitation area, there
[00:16:19] is a robotic walking machine.
[00:16:22] It will be a scientific center
[00:16:26] that trains physicians and specialist physicians
[00:16:30] for our province. Let's continue
[00:16:33] with a new development. The General

[00:19:25] system for packaging is being implemented throughout Turkey. In
[00:19:29] Edirne, there are return machines at
[00:19:32] 98 points. In
[00:19:34] the city, more
[00:19:38] than 760 thousand packages have
[00:19:42] been recycled since July. PET
[00:19:45] and aluminum packaging are separated and
[00:19:48] pressed. Glass packaging is collected and
[00:19:52] sent to recycling facilities. In Edirne,
[00:19:56] over 760 thousand packages have
[00:20:00] been collected through the deposit-return system
[00:20:03] for packaging. 760,000 as
[00:20:07] of now, since July 1st, we
[00:20:11] have collected e-waste packaging,
[00:20:14] but almost half of it
[00:20:18] was collected by September 15th,
[00:20:21] which shows that public interest
[00:20:24] continues to grow. There are return
[00:20:28] machines at 98 points in Edirne.
[00:20:31] Now, all products are
[00:20:35] almost
[00:20:37] 40% in the first year,
[00:20:41] 70% in the second year,
[00:20:44] and are planned to reach
[00:20:48] 100% by
[00:20:50] the end of the third year.
[00:20:54] They are registered as
[00:20:58] e-waste and are being disposed of
[00:21:01] completely within the framework of
[00:21:05] the specification, becoming a part
[00:21:08] of the system. The number of
[00:21:12] active users
[00:21:15] has exceeded 3 million. The mobile
[00:21:18] application has become accessible and widespread
[00:21:21] for everyone. Both the software and
[00:21:25] all the tools and equipment used
[00:21:29] in the collection and counting processes
[00:21:32] of the deposit-return
[00:21:33] application for packaging have been developed
[00:21:37] domestically and nationally. In other words,
[00:21:41] the application has become domestic and
[00:21:45] national both virtually and practically. With
[00:21:48] the system, it is aimed to
[00:21:51] recycle 25 billion packages annually
[00:21:55] across the country. A contribution of
[00:21:58] 30 billion liras per year is
[00:22:01] expected to the economy. The Turkish

[00:24:23] lives in Kayseri,
[00:24:24] had her Aegean
[00:24:29] tour, for which she had made
[00:24:33] reservations months ago, canceled by the
[00:24:37] tour company shortly before the trip. She was directed
[00:24:41] to an alternative tour with a
[00:24:44] price difference of 34,000 liras. The
[00:24:47] Consumer Arbitration Committee decided
[00:24:50] to refund the price difference.
[00:24:53] She made reservations
[00:24:56] for the travel program months in
[00:24:59] advance. The tour was
[00:25:02] canceled shortly before the trip.

[00:25:08] Kayseri, made a reservation for an
[00:25:12] Aegean tour at a travel agency
[00:25:15] on January 31st. However, the company
[00:25:19] canceled the trip due to insufficient
[00:25:22] participation. They
[00:25:24] stated that they
[00:25:28] would cancel the tour, citing insufficient
[00:25:31] participation as the reason, and
[00:25:34] offered me an alternative package
[00:25:37] tour. However, they demanded an extra
[00:25:40] fee from me for this. Erdoğdu
[00:25:42] participated in
[00:25:46] the alternative tour by paying 34,000 liras more. She
[00:25:52] later learned that this situation was
[00:25:54] contrary to the
[00:25:57] regulations and applied to the Consumer
[00:26:01] Arbitration Committee. I also thought
[00:26:05] it wasn't worth the trouble. It's
[00:26:08] a good
[00:26:12] feeling to not give opportunists
[00:26:16] a chance
[00:26:18] and to think that
[00:26:22] they will further increase
[00:26:26] their service
[00:26:27] quality after
[00:26:31] this. The
[00:26:34] Consumer Arbitration Committee decided
[00:26:38] to refund the unjustly collected
[00:26:41] fee. Once
[00:26:43] the consumer
[00:26:46] knows what service they
[00:26:49] are being provided with, after
[00:26:53] reading what is written
[00:26:57] on the paper they sign,
[00:27:00] there is no
[00:27:09] situation where they can be
[00:27:12] deceived. If the other party
[00:27:15] deceives them, they have the
[00:27:19] right to get their money
[00:27:22] back. The Ministry of Trade took
[00:27:26] action regarding the allegations
[00:27:28] that socks bearing the phrase
[00:27:31] "Made in Turkey" and
[00:27:35] the image of war criminal
[00:27:37] Ratko Mladić were exported. The
[00:27:41] company operating in Bayrampaşa,
[00:27:45] Istanbul, was audited. All products exported
[00:27:49] with the phrase "Made in
[00:27:52] Turkey" are under strict
[00:27:56] scrutiny. The Ministry of
[00:27:58] Trade investigated the allegations
[00:28:02] that socks with the image
[00:28:05] of war criminal Ratko Mladić
[00:28:09] were exported with the phrase
[00:28:11] "Made in Turkey". An
[00:28:15] audit was carried out
[00:28:19] it was found. In its statement, the Ministry
[00:28:22] emphasized that the content and visuals of products bearing
[00:28:25] the Made in Turkey brand should be known. It
[00:28:28] was stated that necessary inspections regarding production
[00:28:31] and exports would continue.
[00:28:38] The energy supply crisis has affected the whole world. With high
[00:28:42] costs, it is a matter of curiosity who is ready
[00:28:45] for winter and who is not. In Europe, natural gas storage
[00:28:49] is at its lowest level in the last 20 years. Turkey,
[00:28:52] on the other hand, has filled its tanks to full
[00:28:56] capacity since July. With two underground
[00:28:59] natural gas storage with 100% capacity.
[00:29:05] The world is going through an energy bottleneck, and the
[00:29:09] rise in energy costs shows no sign of stopping. The
[00:29:12] growing supply risk has further accelerated
[00:29:15] the rise in oil and natural prices in Europe have reached
[00:29:18] their highest level in the last 3.5 years. The
[00:29:21] situation in Europe, which is preparing to enter winter with high
[00:29:25] In the virtual gas market TTF, October
[00:29:28] futures contracts reached 84 this
[00:29:31] week, the highest level since January 2,
[00:29:34] 2023.
[00:29:38] Prices are high, and storage capacity is not
[00:29:42] sufficient. Europe is preparing to enter this winter
[00:29:46] with one of the lowest storage rates in the last 20 years. High
[00:29:50] prices and supply shortages
[00:29:53] are likely to drag Europe to the brink of a new gas crisis.
[00:29:57] Turkey, on the other hand, is very
[00:29:59] well prepared for winter.
[00:30:02] Turkey's natural gas storage facilities are full. The
[00:30:06] tanks with a capacity of 6.3 billion cubic meters
[00:30:09] were filled to 100% as of July. All
[00:30:13] precautions have been taken for supply security before
[00:30:16] winter. One of the tanks is in Tuz Gölü, and the other
[00:30:20] is in Silivri. During periods of high demand, the gas stored
[00:30:24] in these two facilities is put into operation, made ready for
[00:30:27] use, and connected to the main transmission line. This is the Silivri
[00:30:31] Underground Natural Gas Storage Facility, the largest
[00:30:34] in Europe in terms of natural gas storage capacity. 4.6
[00:30:37] billion cubic meters of natural gas are stored here.
[00:30:40] This facility alone can meet 25% of Turkey's daily
[00:30:44] natural gas needs.
[00:30:47] The increased storage capacity strengthens
[00:30:50] Turkey's supply security. It also increases
[00:30:54] the flexibility of the system against seasonal
[00:30:57] changes. The goal now is to double the capacity.
[00:31:01] Investments are continuing simultaneously. Turkey aims
[00:31:04] to increase its natural gas
[00:31:06] storage capacity to 12 billion cubic meters.
[00:31:10] Western Mediterranean exceeded the 2 billion dollar
[00:31:13] threshold in exports before the end of the year. Moreover,
[00:31:17] the same figure as last year was reached 25 days
[00:31:20] earlier. While fresh fruits and vegetables were the locomotive of exports in the
[00:31:24] region, the year-end target
[00:31:26] Western Mediterranean exports are progressing rapidly this
[00:31:30] year. The region's exports reached 2 billion
[00:31:33] 100 million dollars as of September. The year-end target
[00:31:36] is 3 billion dollars. The most active sector in our
[00:31:40] region, the fresh fruit and vegetable sector, reached around 650
[00:31:44] million dollars. Our second sector is the mining
[00:31:48] sector, especially marble, and our third
[00:31:51] sector is wood and forest products. The agricultural
[00:31:54] frost experienced last year caused a decrease
[00:31:58] in yield for products such as cherries, apples,
[00:32:01] peaches, and nectarines. This year, the increase in
[00:32:05] yield had a positive impact on fresh fruit and vegetable
[00:32:08] exports. Our primary market as Western Mediterranean is
[00:32:12] the European Union and Germany, with exports of around 210 million dollars to Germany.
[00:32:26] We can list the top five countries as Romania.
[00:32:30] The Western Mediterranean Exporters' Association expects
[00:32:33] to exceed the target of 3 billion dollars in total exports
[00:32:37] and 1 billion dollars in fresh
[00:32:38] fruit and vegetable exports
[00:32:45] He emphasized that women in Turkey are increasingly
[00:32:49] having a say in entrepreneurship. He stated that the rate
[00:32:51] of women entrepreneurs, which was 13.1%
[00:32:54] in 2002, increased to 18.2%
[00:32:57] last year. He said, "We will continue
[00:33:00] our support for women entrepreneurs, whose number
[00:33:04] reached 1,230,000
[00:33:06] in 2025."
[00:33:09] Turkey is among the countries where women are increasingly
[00:33:12] having a say in entrepreneurship. Indeed,
[00:33:15] our women entrepreneur rate, which was 13.1%
[00:33:18] in 2002, increased to 18.2%
[00:33:22] in 2025. The number of women
[00:33:25] entrepreneurs reached 1,230,000.
[00:33:29] She emphasized the increase in the number of women
[00:33:32] entrepreneurs in Turkey. She drew attention to the point
[00:33:36] Family and Social Services Minister Mahinur Özdemir
[00:33:39] Göktaş spoke at the "Rising Women: My Own Business,
[00:33:42] My Own Path" program held in Istanbul. Through
[00:33:45] the program, we provide training to our women
[00:33:48] entrepreneurs in the areas of branding, digitalization,
[00:33:51] e-commerce, communication, and team management.
[00:33:54] We bring them together with expert trainers
[00:33:57] on financial and legal processes, company establishment,
[00:34:01] and access to finance. Minister Göktaş said that support
[00:34:05] for women entrepreneurs would continue. With our
[00:34:08] Family and Population Decade vision, we will continue
[00:34:11] our support for women entrepreneurs to be pioneers
[00:34:14] in new sectors and to shape the business models of the
[00:34:17] future. Göktaş attended the signing ceremony
[00:34:20] of a cooperation protocol between the Ministry, Turkcell,
[00:34:24] and Kadem to increase women's competencies in artificial
[00:34:27] intelligence and safe internet. She said, "We support women
[00:34:31] gaining a foothold in the field With this protocol, which
[00:34:34] we will sign today, we are taking a strategic step that
[00:34:38] protects women against the risks of the digital world.
[00:34:41] With this cooperation, we will support women
[00:34:45] to become competent in the field of artificial
[00:34:48] intelligence and to gain a strong position in the technology
[00:34:52] ecosystem. Within this scope, we will expand
[00:34:55] the artificial intelligence
[00:34:57] training program for women The textile sector,
[00:35:01] growing with incentives in Muş, also initiated
[00:35:05] reverse migration. The Savaş brothers, who had been producing
[00:35:07] shirts in Istanbul for 20 years, established
[00:35:11] a workshop in their hometown of Malazgirt. Many
[00:35:17] workers who had been working in big cities also started
[00:35:21] working in the new workshop. Machines are working for
[00:35:25] production, carefully cut fabrics are turning
[00:35:28] into colorful shirts. Muş has become an important
[00:35:31] textile hub with state support. There are 95
[00:35:35] factories and workshops across the city. The sector's
[00:35:38] annual contribution to the economy is 2 billion liras.
[00:35:41] Incentives also paved the way for reverse migration.
[00:35:45] The brothers who went to Istanbul 20 years ago and worked
[00:35:47] in textiles also moved their workshops to their
[00:35:51] hometown. We defer, package, and box it up
[00:35:55] and send it back to Istanbul
[00:35:57] to the companies there. Previously, we used to do
[00:36:01] it in Istanbul. I worked in Istanbul for 6-7 years.
[00:36:04] Then we opened up in Malazgirt. We came to Malazgirt.
[00:36:07] Many people also got jobs at the workshop. Textile
[00:36:10] workers in big cities returned to their hometowns.
[00:36:13] "I worked in Istanbul for 16
[00:36:16] years before. I mean,
[00:36:19] Malazgirt is a historical place. I mean,
[00:36:23] such a workshop has been opened in our own
[00:36:26] hometown.
[00:36:30] We live on average 50, sometimes
[00:36:33] 55, 70, it goes up to 80, yes.
[00:36:36] We also have employees working in three shifts
[00:36:38] right now. We benefit from it. 4800 people
[00:36:42] are employed in textiles
[00:36:44] in the city.
[00:36:47] Samsun is one of Turkey's important paddy production
[00:36:50] centers. The producer's harvest expectation
[00:36:54] is high these days. The harvest, which will be carried
[00:36:58] out on 231 thousand hectares,
[00:36:59] is expected to last one month.
[00:37:03] The paddy planted in May and waiting in water
[00:37:07] has ripened.
[00:37:11] Samsun is one of the provinces where the most paddy is produced
[00:37:15] in Turkey. In Alaçam district, farmers started
[00:37:18] harvesting after months of labor. In Samsun,
[00:37:22] paddy produced in an area of approximately 231 decares is collected
[00:37:26] by combine harvesters in the field. Our province
[00:37:29] of Samsun is the second largest paddy producing
[00:37:33] province in Turkey. Approximately 1 million tons of paddy
[00:37:36] were produced in our country in 2025. 183
[00:37:39] thousand tons of this were produced in our
[00:37:42] province of Samsun.
[00:37:47] The producer is satisfied with the quality and yield.
[00:37:50] We started our season, and I hope it will be
[00:37:53] a good year. This year's It is currently above the record.
[00:38:04] It is expected to last
[00:38:04] the process.
[00:38:12] Reactions continue to come from retired Greek
[00:38:14] commanders to the Achilles Shield air defense system
[00:38:18] that Greece bought from killer Israel. The
[00:38:21] fact that the key to the system is in Israel's hands
[00:38:24] is seen as a national security problem. It
[00:38:28] is emphasized that Greece will become dependent
[00:38:31] and that the cost
[00:38:32] of this will be much higher.
[00:38:35] Reactions are growing to the air defense system
[00:38:39] that Greece bought from genocidal Israel. Following
[00:38:41] opposition parties, the press, and academia, retired
[00:38:45] Greek commanders also sharply criticized the
[00:38:48] Achilles Shield. Retired Vice Admiral Vasilios
[00:38:51] Marcucos used the phrase "national security
[00:38:55] problem" regarding
[00:39:06] the source code related to the system's command
[00:39:09] and control capabilities. He stated that even the
[00:39:13] most modern shield could be exhausted in a few days
[00:39:17] of operation without a large missile stock. Retired
[00:39:20] Vice Admiral Stallios Fenecos also pointed to the economic
[00:39:23] dimension of the air defense system. The cost of
[00:39:35] the Achilles Shield is 3 billion, but the real
[00:39:40] cost is the dependency on Israel. He emphasized
[00:39:43] that this situation would create technological and
[00:39:47] operational dependencies. Retired Air Force Lieutenant
[00:39:50] General Dimitris Pandelatos also said, "We are paying
[00:39:53] for something whose details
[00:39:56] President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
[00:39:59] Tufan Erhürman met with Nikos Christodoulides.
[00:40:03] Erhürman stated at the press conference he held that
[00:40:06] the bilateral meeting went
[00:40:08] better than the previous
[00:40:12] ones. He emphasized that the necessary conditions
[00:40:15] must be met for 5+1 format meetings to take place.
[00:40:19] President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
[00:40:23] Tufan Erhürman and Nikos Christodoulides met
[00:40:26] in the buffer zone. We can
[00:40:29] say it was a relatively better meeting
[00:40:32] compared to the previous one. The meeting took
[00:40:35] place at the United Nations Good Offices Mission.
[00:40:38] The Annan Plan Referendums were held in 2004. Crans Montana
[00:40:42] happened in 2017. If no result came
[00:40:45] out of these processes,
[00:40:46] then something different
[00:40:49] needs to be done this time. Erhürman stated
[00:40:52] that the necessary conditions must be met for the 5+1
[00:40:56] format informal meetings under the auspices of the
[00:40:59] United Nations. The President of the Turkish Republic
[00:41:03] of Northern Cyprus emphasized UN Secretary-General
[00:41:06] Guterres's statement that past mistakes
[00:41:10] would not be repeated. Today, as you know, a village
[00:41:13] of 350 people in England decided to separate
[00:41:16] from the United Kingdom. The people of Piddington
[00:41:20] protested the placement
[00:41:21] of 1200 asylum seekers
[00:41:27] at a military base near the village with a symbolic decision.
[00:41:30] In the village, with a population of 350, a symbolic referendum
[00:41:34] was held, and the decision to leave the United Kingdom
[00:41:37] came out of the ballot box. The results
[00:41:44] The decision has no legal binding force, but the
[00:41:48] village administration also announced its new name:
[00:41:50] Piddington
[00:41:53] Principality. This is a polite, legal, and transparent
[00:41:57] action. We want to revitalize local politics.
[00:41:59] The reason for the symbolic separation decision
[00:42:03] is the government's asylum seeker plan. The old military
[00:42:06] base 800 meters from the village will be
[00:42:10] converted into a shelter for 1200 male asylum
[00:42:13] seekers. Villagers are concerned about an increase
[00:42:17] in crime rates. Who will run this place? Who will
[00:42:20] be accountable? Who will be legally and criminally
[00:42:24] responsible for what happens here? The government,
[00:42:28] however, did not back down from its plan. Prime
[00:42:31] Minister Andy Burnham said
[00:42:34] he understood the villagers' reaction but argued
[00:42:37] that the burden would
[00:42:43] The Syrian elder, who returned to Damascus from Kuwait,
[00:42:46] where he took refuge after the fall of the Assad regime,
[00:42:49] wanted his books to be free like himself. To reach
[00:42:53] his library, which he had hidden for years, he tore
[00:42:56] down the wall he had built with his own hands. He
[00:42:59] brought hundreds of his books
[00:43:00] back into the light.
[00:43:06] He broke down the wall with a hammer. He had to hide
[00:43:10] it for years. He brought his library back to light
[00:43:13] with his own hands. The Syrian elder, who returned to Damascus
[00:43:16] after the overthrow of the oppressive Assad regime,
[00:43:18] was reunited with his books.
[00:43:23] In 2011, he took refuge in Kuwait. Before
[00:43:26] leaving, he built a wall over his books
[00:43:30] in his library to hide and protect them.
[00:43:33] He tore down the books on ethics, religion,
[00:43:36] and philosophy, which were banned on the grounds that they
[00:43:55] were contrary to the regime's ideology. He brought his library, which consisted
[00:43:59] of hundreds of books,
[00:44:07] He grew up reading the adhan and the Quran.
[00:44:11] He won awards in beautiful adhan reciting competitions.
[00:44:14] His voice was not only a means of communication
[00:44:17] for him but also a part of his profession.
[00:44:20] However, after an operation, Imam Mehmet
[00:44:23] Korkusuz, 28 years old, developed vocal cord paralysis.
[00:44:27] Korkusuz, who works in a mosque in front of
[00:44:30] Emin, has not been able to recite the adhan for
[00:44:34] 10 months. His biggest dream is to regain his voice
[00:44:38] and recite the adhan
[00:44:47] We opened our eyes in the intensive care unit. The
[00:44:50] operation had been cancelled, and the neck hernia could
[00:44:53] not be removed. Then these processes started.
[00:44:56] Mehmet Korkusuz is 28 years old. He is an imam.
[00:45:00] After graduating from the Faculty of Theology,
[00:45:04] he served in many mosques. During this period, he won
[00:45:07] awards in adhan reciting competitions. In 2017,
[00:45:11] I became the first in Turkey in the adhan reciting
[00:45:14] competition among imam hatips. Before the operation,
[00:45:18] I was the first in Afyonkarahisar province. He recently
[00:45:21] started working at Eminönü Hidayet Mosque. After
[00:45:25] a neck hernia operation he underwent 10 months
[00:45:29] ago, he experienced the most difficult days of his life. Vocal cord paralysis
[00:45:33] developed. Vocal cord paralysis actually occurs
[00:45:36] when the nerve that moves the vocal cord is damaged.
[00:45:40] We can also encounter these types of paralysis
[00:45:43] as a result of nerve
[00:46:01] tension or cutting during operations. Mehmet Korkusuz
[00:46:05] suffered vocal cord paralysis after an operation
[00:46:08] about 10 months ago, and after the treatments
[00:46:12] he received, he started speaking and using his voice again. His biggest
[00:46:16] dream is to be able to recite the adhan from the minaret
[00:46:19] again. We cannot recite adhans, we cannot recite
[00:46:22] the Quran. In short, let's say the nightingale
[00:46:26] is silent. Hopefully, we will return to our
[00:46:29] old selves. Mehmet Korkusuz, whose treatment continues
[00:46:33] at another center,
[00:46:34] is waiting to find out
[00:46:43] if his voice will return to normal. We expect
[00:46:47] it to return in about
[00:46:51] a year and a half. For this, we try to evaluate by doing
[00:46:55] these tests periodically to see if there will be
[00:46:59] a return. We do voice therapy so that when the
[00:47:02] other side compensates, the patient can use their voice
[00:47:06] again. Korkusuz's voice began to improve with the
[00:47:09] treatments he received. Whether it will return
[00:47:12] to its original state completely will be determined
[00:47:16] after examinations. My heart desires to recite
[00:47:19] the adhans again. I wish to recite them
[00:47:22] in Eminönü and Hagia Sophia. If God grants
[00:47:26] it, I will be very happy. Under the leadership
[00:47:29] of the Governorship of Rize, a historical study
[00:47:33] was launched for the Kaçkar Mountains in the Eastern
[00:47:35] Black Sea region. All the peaks
[00:47:39] in the region will be recorded one by one, and the geographical
[00:47:43] heritage will be preserved. The local memory will be
[00:47:46] carried to the future. There are more than 100
[00:47:49] peaks over 300 meters high in the Kaçkar
[00:47:53] Mountains. To preserve the geographical heritage
[00:47:57] in the magnificent peaks of the Eastern Black
[00:48:01] Sea, the peaks are being recorded one by one.
[00:48:04] These will serve as a milestone in all organizations
[00:48:07] to be held regarding Kaçkar in the future.
[00:48:11] A workshop was organized to transfer the natural
[00:48:14] beauties, historical, and cultural richness of
[00:48:17] the Kaçkar Mountains to future generations. Scientists,
[00:48:20] mountaineers, and volunteers
[00:48:24] participated in the Kaçkar Geographical Heritage
[00:48:28] Workshop. With the work started for the Kaçkar
[00:48:30] Mountains, all peaks will be mapped and registered.
[00:48:34] Sometimes the same name is used for different coordinates,
[00:48:38] and sometimes different coordinates are named
[00:48:40] differently. This causes time losses, especially
[00:48:43] in search and rescue operations, when reaching
[00:48:47] the injured. The peak map to be prepared will
[00:48:51] be a reference in many areas, from search and
[00:48:55] rescue activities to the drawing of new routes and
[00:48:58] of copper processing,
[00:49:02] which is on the verge of being forgotten,
[00:49:05] is being revived in the hands of
[00:49:08] Ceyda Okur from Rize. The
[00:49:12] master instructor living in Çayeli district, famous
[00:49:16] for its copper mine, is working hard
[00:49:19] to teach the traditional hand art to new
[00:49:22] generations. On one side, the sounds of hammers,
[00:49:26] on the other, patterns intricately woven. Every
[00:49:28] strike carries the traces
[00:49:33] of an art that has continued for centuries. In Çayeli
[00:49:36] district of Rize, famous Interest in traditional
[00:49:40] coppersmithing has decreased in recent years. Ceyda
[00:49:43] Okur, who lives in Çayeli district, is working
[00:49:46] to keep the profession,
[00:49:47] which is on the verge
[00:49:52] of being forgotten, alive. I wanted to make
[00:49:56] this a profession. After applying to the necessary
[00:49:59] places and getting my master instructor certificate,
[00:50:03] I started my training to transfer
[00:50:06] it to future generations. Okur teaches the subtleties
[00:50:10] of the art in the course opened within the scope
[00:50:13] of the Çayeli Public Education Center. I learned
[00:50:17] different techniques without working on small lines.
[00:50:21] Our past grandfathers, fathers, and grandmothers
[00:50:23] used these, and they have
[00:50:30] spiritual values. The main purpose of the copper
[00:50:33] processing course is to transfer the cultural
[00:50:37] heritage of Anatolia to future generations.
[00:50:40] I come here in my spare time and deal with
[00:50:44] these works. It's a very enjoyable and pleasant
[00:50:47] job. Moreover, most of the people who do these jobs
[01:00:25] Welcome to TRT news screens, we will
[01:00:28] discuss the topics on the agenda of Turkey and
[01:00:32] the world one by one together for the next 3
[01:00:35] hours, but our night is quite hot
[01:00:38] because a new development has occurred. Within the past
[01:00:41] hour, the decree of the General Directorate of Security and new
[01:00:44] appointment decisions were published in the Official
[01:00:48] Gazette. We will get the details, we are going to our news
[01:00:51] center immediately, our friend Demet Sağlık Geçit
[01:00:54] is waiting for us in a ready manner, there are different

[01:01:00] The General Directorate of Security had been waiting for this
[01:01:04] appointment decree for days. Yes, the appointment
[01:01:06] decree was published in the Official Gazette
[01:01:09] with the signature of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan just now.
[01:01:13] 69 new appointments
[01:01:14] were made to the General

[01:01:21] were changed, the Police Chiefs of 24 provinces
[01:01:25] were pulled to the center, and 23 Police
[01:01:28] Chief Inspectors were assigned as directors. Yes,

[01:01:37] Van, Rize, Izmir, Samsun, Diyarbakır, and Balıkesir.
[01:01:41] Four new names were also assigned
[01:01:44] to the General Directorate of Security.
[01:01:48] Among the names appointed, some particularly stand out.
[01:01:51] Yusuf Topcan, who was serving as
[01:01:55] the Head of the Counter-Terrorism Department, was appointed
[01:01:58] as the Yalova Provincial Police Chief
[01:02:01] in the coming period. Salih Gözüm
[01:02:04] was appointed in place of Yusuf
[01:02:08] Topça. Salih Gözüm was appointed
[01:02:11] as the Head of the Counter-Terrorism Department in the new
[01:02:15] period. Meanwhile.
[01:02:30] Minister Mustafa Çiftçi announced
[01:02:32] that new names were appointed

[01:02:48] services, witness protection, and counter-terrorism.
[01:02:52] Minister Mustafa Çiftçi said,
[01:02:55] "I congratulate my esteemed colleagues who have been
[01:02:59] appointed to their new duties, and I wish
[01:03:01] them success in their work." Mustafa
[01:03:05] Çiftçi also wished that the appointments
[01:03:08] would be beneficial for the police
[01:03:11] organization, the country, and our beloved
[01:03:14] nation. Mustafa Çiftçi conveyed the message,
[01:03:18] "We will continue to work with
[01:03:21] the same determination for the peace
[01:03:25] of our nation and the security
[01:03:28] of our country." Yes, if we reiterate,
[01:03:31] 69 new appointments were made to the General
[01:03:35] Directorate of Security. The organization had been waiting for this
[01:03:38] appointment decree for days. The appointment decree
[01:03:41] was published in the Official Gazette with the signature
[01:03:45] of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan just now.
[01:03:47] Within this scope, the Police Chiefs of 39 provinces
[01:03:51] were changed, the Police Chiefs of 24 provinces
[01:03:53] were pulled to the center,
[01:04:01] and 23 Police Chief Inspectors were assigned
[01:04:04] as directors in the coming period. Let's
[01:04:08] give the floor back to you.
[01:04:11] "An attack that drew reactions from all of
[01:04:15] us. The Ministry of National Defense reacted to that
[01:04:20] about? A reaction came to the drone
[01:04:23] attack of the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen
[01:04:27] on Mecca. The Houthi threat negatively affects
[01:04:30] not only regional
[01:04:33] security but also international maritime trade," was stated.
[01:04:37] Developments regarding the Mecca Defense Alliance
[01:04:40] were also discussed at the weekly briefing
[01:04:43] of the Ministry of National Defense.
[01:04:47] We condemn the drone
[01:04:49] attack that targeted Saudi Arabia last
[01:04:53] weekend and the actions carried out by the Houthis.
[01:04:56] We state that such initiatives that
[01:05:00] threaten regional stability must be ended
[01:05:03] as soon as possible. The ongoing Houthi
[01:05:06] threat in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb
[01:05:09] negatively affects not only regional security
[01:05:13] but also international maritime trade
[01:05:16] and global stability. Defense cooperation
[01:05:19] between Turkey, Saudi
[01:05:22] Arabia, and Pakistan was also on the agenda
[01:05:25] at the weekly briefing of the Ministry of
[01:05:29] National Defense.
[01:05:37] The agreement is not against any country
[01:05:41] and does not constitute an alternative
[01:05:45] to the existing relations of the
[01:05:48] parties with third countries. Another security
[01:05:52] issue was Israel's attacks on Syria
[01:05:56] and Palestine. The international community was
[01:06:02] invited to take concrete and deterrent
[01:06:05] measures. We welcome the steps taken
[01:06:09] by 12 countries, led by the UK,
[01:06:12] France, and Canada, to ban trade
[01:06:15] and business relations with illegal settlements
[01:06:18] in the West Bank. National Intelligence
[01:06:22] Organization President İbrahim Kalın visited Pakistan
[01:06:25] after Afghanistan. Kalın met with Pakistan's
[01:06:28] Chief of General
[01:07:08] Staff Marshal Asim Minir and Pakistan's
[01:07:11] Intelligence Service
[01:07:13] Director Asim Malik
[01:07:16] in Islamabad. Kalın discussed regional developments
[01:07:20] and security cooperation between Turkey and
[01:07:23] Pakistan with his
[01:07:25] counterparts. During
[01:07:27] the meetings, the Yemen-Saudi
[01:07:30] Arabia tension and the Mecca Common
[01:07:33] Defense Agreement were discussed, and the
[01:07:37] political, security, and economic reflections
[01:07:40] of the increasing
[01:07:42] regional tension and war on the
[01:07:46] countries in the region were
[01:07:49] addressed. The Yemen-Saudi
[01:07:52] Arabia tension was also one of
[01:07:55] the agenda items
[01:07:58] in Islamabad. The risks posed by
[01:08:02] the events for
[01:08:02] regional stability were
[01:08:10] analyzed. During the
[01:08:20] meetings, the importance of the Mecca
[01:08:23] Common Defense Agreement for regional stability
[01:08:27] was emphasized. Turkey's and Pakistan's role
[01:08:30] in de-escalating the tension and keeping
[01:08:33] diplomatic channels open
[01:08:34] was pointed out.
[01:08:38] Afghanistan-Pakistan relations were also discussed
[01:08:41] in İbrahim Kalın's contacts. It was
[01:08:44] emphasized that Turkey will continue its
[01:08:47] efforts to resolve the tension between
[01:08:50] the two countries through dialogue.
[01:08:54] Mit President İbrahim Kalın was in
[01:08:58] Afghanistan before his visit to Pakistan.
[01:09:01] The fact that he was greeted
[01:09:04] with a striking military ceremony was
[01:09:08] an indication of the importance given
[01:09:11] to Turkey. Look at the
[01:09:15] process for a Turkey without terrorism.
[01:09:18] He spoke about the latest situation regarding Turkey's
[01:09:22] target. He said that the confirmation
[01:09:25] and declaration phase of laying down
[01:09:28] arms is expected to take place
[01:09:32] in October, if not, then in
[01:09:35] November. Uçum also underlined that the
[01:09:38] scope of the framework law will
[01:09:42] not change. The confirmation and
[01:09:46] declaration phase is expected to take
[01:09:49] place in October, if possible, and
[01:09:53] in November at the latest, before
[01:09:55] the end of this year. He
[01:09:58] spoke about the latest situation regarding
[01:10:02] the goal of a Turkey
[01:10:04] without terrorism. He
[01:10:07] reminded that the framework law is
[01:10:10] temporary and one-time, and he added:
[01:10:14] "Neither in the future can there
[01:10:17] be an expansion of the scope
[01:10:21] with additional provisions related to this
[01:10:24] law, nor can there be an
[01:10:27] expansion of the scope through the
[01:10:31] Constitutional Court.
[01:10:31] Only in
[01:10:36] the initial 6-month application
[01:10:39] process, if everyone has submitted
[01:10:43] their applications, or if some of
[01:10:46] the applications of those who applied
[01:10:49] have been rejected, and then if
[01:10:52] the nature of the crime changes
[01:10:55] in the investigations and prosecutions
[01:10:59] related to these, then a situation
[01:11:02] like them benefiting from the law
[01:11:05] arises." Mehmet Uçum, Deputy Chairman of
[01:11:08] the Presidential Legal Policies Board,
[01:11:11] attended the Anatolian Talks program organized
[01:11:15] by the Turkey Press Federation.
[01:11:18] He warned against provocations during
[01:11:22] the process towards the goal of
[01:11:25] a Turkey without terrorism. He said
[01:11:28] that it has always been said
[01:11:32] that there could be intellectual sabotages
[01:11:35] or some provocations in the field,
[01:11:39] and these are being followed up.
[01:11:44] Processes are being managed where daily
[01:11:48] evaluations are made
[01:11:52] on these. The important point in
[01:11:55] this regard is not the language,
[01:11:59] but the matter of producing the appropriate language
[01:12:03] and tone for
[01:12:06] Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi said
[01:12:10] that they keep
[01:12:12] the field under surveillance to prevent
[01:12:16] the process of a Turkey without
[01:12:20] terrorism from failing. He explained the
[01:12:23] work carried out within the scope
[01:12:26] of the goal of a region
[01:12:29] without terrorism. Minister Çiftçi said that
[01:12:32] a four-way mechanism could be developed
[01:12:36] between Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Turkey,
[01:12:39] and that he would present this
[01:12:43] proposal to his counterparts in the
[01:12:46] coming days. For this process
[01:12:49] to succeed and
[01:12:50] not fail,
[01:12:54] we, together with our governorships,
[01:12:57] continuously keep the field under
[01:13:00] surveillance. No one should poison
[01:13:03] or infect this process. From now on, we are
[01:13:07] following the process for the terrorist
[01:13:10] organization to lay down its arms,
[01:13:14] that is, for it to be
[01:13:17] eliminated with all its elements,
[01:13:20] both in Turkey and in Syria,
[01:13:23] Iraq, Iran, and Europe,
[01:13:27] together with its other
[01:13:30] elements and extensions. Regarding this
[01:13:33] region without terrorism, we can also
[01:13:37] develop a four-way mechanism between
[01:13:40] Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Turkey. We
[01:13:43] have bilateral and trilateral mechanisms,
[01:13:46] for example, we have a
[01:13:49] trilateral mechanism between Turkey, Greece,
[01:13:52] and Bulgaria on combating irregular
[01:13:55] migration. When I went to Georgia
[01:13:59] the other day, we will activate a trilateral mechanism
[01:14:02] between Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbaijan on combating
[01:14:06] these new generation organized crime
[01:14:10] organizations in the coming days. We
[01:14:14] will put it on the table
[01:14:17] again in the coming days and
[01:14:20] present it as a proposal to
[01:14:23] them. In this section
[01:14:27] of our bulletin, we will talk
[01:14:31] about the process of a Turkey
[01:14:34] without terrorism in more detail. I
[01:14:37] am not alone, of course. My
[01:14:40] journalist colleague Kurtuluş is with
[01:14:43] us. Mr. Tahiz, welcome.
[01:14:47] Welcome, good broadcast. Mr.
[01:14:50] Tayız, now if we look
[01:14:53] at it, we
[01:14:55] are talking about the elimination of
[01:14:59] external elements and even the
[01:15:02] importance of the timing of the
[01:15:06] NSC decisions in recent weeks and
[01:15:09] even recent days. In fact,
[01:15:12] according to some news reflected
[01:15:15] in the press today, President Erdoğan
[01:15:18] described the process as critical and
[01:15:21] even fragile at the September
[01:15:25] 15th NSC meeting, and also asked for caution
[01:15:29] against sensitivities
[01:15:31] and provocations after October 1st,
[01:15:34] according to the allegations in the
[01:15:38] same news. Now, if we talk
[01:15:42] about the possibility of provocation mentioned
[01:15:45] by President Erdoğan in such an
[01:15:48] environment, what concrete security or political
[01:15:52] scenarios does it cover?
[01:15:55] Well, actually, the
[01:15:58] process of a Turkey without
[01:16:02] terrorism is progressing in
[01:16:05] a very controlled, determined, and
[01:16:08] hopeful manner, unlike the previous
[01:16:11] ones. Are there no problems?
[01:16:15] Are there no obstacles? Of
[01:16:19] course, there are obstacles,
[01:16:22] but these problems are
[01:16:25] being solved step by
[01:16:29] step with new solution formulas.
[01:16:32] First of all, let's
[01:16:36] underline that this is very
[01:16:39] important, because in the past,
[01:16:43] we know that such processes,
[01:16:47] that is, initiatives to eliminate
[01:16:50] terrorism, were thwarted at the
[01:16:53] very beginning. This is mostly
[01:16:56] due to some provocations
[01:17:00] stemming from both external sources
[01:17:03] and the terrorist organization.
[01:17:06] I can say that it was
[01:17:10] thwarted before it even started,
[01:17:13] before it made any
[01:17:16] progress, before it reached the
[01:17:20] middle of the road. We
[01:17:23] heard the President's
[01:17:26] emphasis on this in all meetings.
[01:17:30] In fact, he even commented
[01:17:33] that it should be done quickly,
[01:17:37] meaning there was a need
[01:17:40] to hurry. This was
[01:17:43] undoubtedly to prevent provocations
[01:17:46] and certain initiatives that
[01:17:50] could poison the process. Now,
[01:17:53] if we come to these external reasons,
[01:17:57] I can follow this closely.
[01:17:59] We can say
[01:18:02] that there are some provocations,
[01:18:05] suggestions, and pressures, directly
[01:18:09] from Israel, both openly
[01:18:12] and covertly. This has manifested
[01:18:15] itself especially in the Syrian
[01:18:18] arena. They carried out campaigns
[01:18:21] on social media, in
[01:18:24] the form of accounts linked
[01:18:28] to Israel, repeatedly emphasizing
[01:18:32] that the SDF was wrong to
[01:18:35] lay down its arms and integrate
[01:18:39] into the Syrian army, or
[01:18:42] rather, to the Syrian
[01:18:46] administration. Of course, these
[01:18:49] are not carried out only
[01:18:52] with an Israeli identity, a
[01:18:55] Mossad identity, or some Israeli
[01:18:59] identities on the internet.
[01:19:02] It is stated that Israel
[01:19:06] influences those political structures
[01:19:09] in that geography. We see that
[01:19:12] their identities are, for example,
[01:19:16] Kurdish nationalists, but they
[01:19:18] insist that laying down
[01:19:22] arms and integrating into the Syrian
[01:19:25] administration is wrong. We also saw
[01:19:28] this in Europe with some
[01:19:32] websites, especially those close
[01:19:36] to Israel, circulating some
[01:19:39] provocative, distorted, and manipulated
[01:19:42] documents. Mr. Tayız, may
[01:19:46] I interrupt you, if you
[01:19:49] allow me? Yes, and
[01:19:53] to further support what you said,
[01:19:56] an important decision came from Iraq
[01:19:59] this week. Iraqi Prime Minister
[01:20:02] Alez Zeyde said that these
[01:20:06] elements in the Sinjar region
[01:20:09] would start surrendering their
[01:20:12] weapons to the state, referring
[01:20:15] to the extensions of the PKK terrorist organization,
[01:20:19] and that Sinjar Mountain would
[01:20:23] also come under the full
[01:20:26] control of the federal government.
[01:20:30] This is one side. The
[01:20:34] other side is that our Foreign
[01:20:37] Minister Hakan Fidan was
[01:20:41] in Syria last weekend,
[01:20:44] and there is an important
[01:20:47] point here. They held a meeting with
[01:20:51] a five-day interval. You just mentioned
[01:20:54] that Israeli-backed websites say
[01:20:58] that the SDF in the Syrian
[01:21:01] arena made a mistake, that
[01:21:04] integrating with the Syrian administration
[01:21:08] was wrong. Hakan Fidan
[01:21:11] also made important statements about
[01:21:14] the SDF, which disbanded itself.
[01:21:18] So, my question is
[01:21:22] this: If even one of
[01:21:25] the elements in Iraq and Syria
[01:21:29] does not lay down arms,
[01:21:32] how will the NSC ensure
[01:21:36] the full confirmation in question? Will
[01:21:40] it be postponed? Will a gradual
[01:21:43] model be implemented? We just showed
[01:21:46] Mehmet Uçum's statement on the
[01:21:50] screen. He said October or November.
[01:21:54] What do you say?
[01:21:57] Yes, what was
[01:22:01] expected was that the terrorist
[01:22:05] organization would lay down
[01:22:08] its arms with all its
[01:22:11] related formations and extensions.
[01:22:14] Here, by its extension
[01:22:17] in Iraq, we actually
[01:22:20] mean that the terrorist organization
[01:22:24] has bases and headquarters
[01:22:28] in Kandil and
[01:22:29] some other
[01:22:32] this high in the
[01:22:36] region or in Turkey
[01:22:40] vehicles. There was a warning
[01:22:43] that these should also
[01:22:46] be surrendered. Our Foreign
[01:22:50] Minister Hakan Fidan also
[01:22:53] made the following assessment: "Yes, the decision
[01:22:56] is positive, the decision
[01:23:00] to disband is positive,
[01:23:04] the decision for integration
[01:23:07] and public support is higher than ever before.
[01:23:10] as Mr. Alan stated,
[01:23:14] there is really a great support
[01:23:18] of over 80%. warnings about
[01:23:22] the actual provocations gain importance here.
[01:23:26] There is a weak discourse trying to infect
[01:23:29] this process and it's a discourse
[01:23:33] that constantly avoids seeing
[01:23:36] or showing
[01:23:38] the bigger picture and this is
[01:23:41] part of the propaganda campaigns developed by certain circles
[01:23:45] with the aim of gaining political advantage.
[01:23:49] We need to see that terrorism,
[01:23:52] which targets Turkey, has been a shackle
[01:23:55] on Turkey's foot. I'm not even talking about
[01:23:59] its financial cost up until now.
[01:24:02] It has caused a great loss
[01:24:06] of lives. This terrorism
[01:24:09] is about to be completely eradicated.
[01:24:12] The process was started with the aim of eradicating it.
[01:24:16] This goal is extremely
[01:24:19] important and the society
[01:24:22] says "yes, we support this" and that's why
[01:24:25] we are talking about a process that has
[01:24:28] a very serious public support of over 80-85%.
[01:24:32] But there was another point
[01:24:36] that Mr. Alan drew attention to.
[01:24:40] He said, "we have disabled this third
[01:24:43] eye in this process." You have already drawn attention
[01:24:47] to the importance of Mr. Alan's contribution
[01:24:50] in these processes. His emphasis
[01:24:54] in his last speech was extremely important. In other words,
[01:24:58] Turkey is managing this solution process,
[01:25:01] this Turkey without terrorism process, by itself.
[01:25:05] It is excluding some external parties
[01:25:08] who want to be involved in this matter.
[01:25:11] This was the so-called third eye.
[01:25:14] The point Mr. Alan drew attention to
[01:25:17] was also very important. Because there were some
[01:25:21] speculations, especially about America's involvement.
[01:25:24] There were speculations about America's involvement.
[01:25:27] No, Turkey is managing
[01:25:30] this process completely
[01:25:34] by itself. I want to interject here.
[01:25:38] You said there were at least claims that America was involved
[01:25:41] in this. While Turkey was trying
[01:25:45] to disarm PKK elements in Iraq within the scope
[01:25:48] of the "Turkey without Terrorism" process, America was trying
[01:25:52] to arm those groups in Iraq during
[01:25:55] the Iran War. In other words,
[01:25:59] it was doing the exact opposite of what we were doing. Yes,
[01:26:03] we need to know
[01:26:06] that there are But apart
[01:26:09] from that, For example,
[01:26:13] "Turkey can't do anything by itself. It can't do anything without America."
[01:26:17] Social scientists and experts
[01:26:20] on social media that the
[01:26:23] can present this as if it were true.
[01:26:27] But based on the information I have gained
[01:26:30] about the management and execution
[01:26:33] of the process, there is no
[01:26:37] third eye, no third power,
[01:26:41] no other state here. Turkey is managing
[01:26:44] this process itself. There are undoubtedly
[01:26:48] states that support this process. Today, the Iranian Interior Minister
[01:26:52] was also the guest of Mr. Çiftçi. He had also suggested
[01:26:55] that this issue, including the terrorist organization
[01:26:58] extensions in Iran and other armed
[01:27:02] groups within the borders of other states,
[01:27:06] be disarmed through a common mechanism.
[01:27:10] In other words, they can contribute.
[01:27:13] Iraq contributes, Syria contributes. These are all
[01:27:17] very normal. But the architect
[01:27:21] of this process, which we refer to as "Turkey without terrorism"
[01:27:25] and "region without terrorism," and its execution
[01:27:27] are entirely carried out by its own leaders,
[01:27:31] with its own intellect, and its own decisions.
[01:27:35] There are no foreign interventions or external elements involved.
[01:27:38] We have always said that this is
[01:27:42] a "Turkey model" when we started
[01:27:44] and when the law first came to parliament and then
[01:27:48] passed it. Now, October 1st
[01:27:52] is important for us. Why is it important?
[01:27:55] Because parliament will open. I would like to ask
[01:27:59] you a question in that direction. Will the process
[01:28:02] be limited to disarmament and legal integration,
[01:28:06] or will topics such as democratization,
[01:28:08] the anti-terrorism law, or a new constitution
[01:28:12] also come to the agenda
[01:28:15] after October 1st? Yes, this
[01:28:25] is undoubtedly a political gain
[01:28:29] they are trying to achieve.
[01:28:33] In their words, this is
[01:28:36] "we are the representatives of a certain
[01:28:39] segment of society, we want to solve
[01:28:43] their problems in coordination."
[01:28:47] This approach was not accepted
[01:28:50] because it was seen as
[01:28:54] gaining political advantage.
[01:28:58] If we are talking about 85%
[01:29:01] public support and if we are talking
[01:29:04] about the framework law being accepted by the parliament
[01:29:08] with a very high number of 467 votes,
[01:29:11] then we can say
[01:29:14] that this support was achieved
[01:29:17] by the process proceeding
[01:29:20] entirely on a legal basis. If there were too many
[01:29:24] political objectives outside
[01:29:28] of a legal framework, then this social and political
[01:29:32] support might not have been possible.
[01:29:36] The call of the Republic of Turkey
[01:29:40] is this: terrorism
[01:29:43] will end, weapons will end,
[01:29:47] the tutelage of terrorism
[01:29:50] over the parliament
[01:29:53] will be lifted and in this sense,
[01:29:56] social and political demands will naturally
[01:30:00] come to the agenda as part
[01:30:02] of a political struggle in the parliament,
[01:30:06] with compromises and agreements,
[01:30:10] and will continue. The democratization
[01:30:13] of this country existed yesterday,
[01:30:17] exists today, and will exist tomorrow.
[01:30:20] I am approaching this issue
[01:30:24] within that framework. But if you take
[01:30:27] this issue out of its legal
[01:30:30] framework and move it entirely to the political
[01:30:34] sphere, there is a risk of reducing public support.
[01:30:37] We see that this is being observed
[01:30:40] with sensitivity in the management of this process.
[01:30:44] But when the Turkish parliament opens,
[01:30:47] different proposals may be presented,
[01:30:50] independent of this law. But if we are more
[01:30:54] specific, based on Mehmet Uçum's statement,
[01:30:57] if there are technical needs
[01:31:00] related to this process, legal needs,
[01:31:03] these can be enacted
[01:31:07] or considered.
[01:31:10] I do not think
[01:31:13] that laws catering
[01:31:16] to certain political demands
[01:31:20] will be passed by the parliament simultaneously
[01:31:24] and as a precondition. Because Turkey
[01:31:27] has made great strides
[01:31:30] in this regard since the day
[01:31:33] the AK Party came to power.
[01:31:37] For example, Kurdish was not spoken,
[01:31:40] but now Kurdish departments
[01:31:44] have been established in universities,
[01:31:48] and private education in the mother tongue
[01:31:51] has been allowed. There is no such
[01:31:54] discrimination outside of this.
[01:31:57] However, parties may have their
[01:32:00] own demands. This is a priority
[01:32:04] issue. They may have
[01:32:08] more specific demands.
[01:32:11] These may come to the agenda.
[01:32:15] But as I said, I don't think
[01:32:19] that these will be intertwined
[01:32:22] and one will be a prerequisite
[01:32:25] for the other. I can say
[01:32:27] that the AK Party is not approaching
[01:32:31] the process this way.
[01:32:34] Now, you often refer to Mehmet Uçum's
[01:32:38] statements in your speech.
[01:32:41] He says that the confirmation
[01:32:45] and declaration phase of disarmament
[01:32:48] will be in November if not October.
[01:32:51] Then we say that this will be
[01:32:55] presented to the National Security Council
[01:32:58] and the process will start
[01:33:02] after it is presented. December is very
[01:33:04] short. So, if
[01:33:07] we say October, let's not count
[01:33:10] today. It's 15 days
[01:33:14] later. If it's not October,
[01:33:17] then November, that's 1.5 months
[01:33:20] later. Do you think
[01:33:23] the confirmation of this disarmament
[01:33:26] will be possible within 1.5 months
[01:33:30] according to the field? Because there will be
[01:33:34] no National Security Council decision
[01:33:37] without that disarmament.
[01:33:41] Will this timeline match?
[01:33:45] Yes. After the framework
[01:33:47] law was passed, we hadn't observed
[01:33:51] any activity on the ground regarding
[01:33:55] the disarmament. But last week,
[01:33:58] Mr. Ibrahim Kalın met with the relevant
[01:34:01] structures to discuss the method,
[01:34:05] ground, place,
[01:34:08] and form of this last disarmament in detail.
[01:34:11] He met in Iraq. He met with the structures
[01:34:15] in northern Iraq. In Syria,
[01:34:18] it's a separate topic. Yes, these meetings
[01:34:22] prepared the infrastructure, and today,
[01:34:25] as Mr. Efgan Alan announced,
[01:34:28] subcommittees have been formed. The process was actually
[01:34:31] waiting for this. I believe
[01:34:34] that with the formation of these subcommittees,
[01:34:36] the disarmament phase has begun.
[01:34:40] In other words, it is no longer
[01:34:43] possible to delay this process.
[01:34:46] However, its completion
[01:34:49] in September, which has already
[01:34:52] ended, and October might not be possible.
[01:34:55] They will want to spread this process
[01:34:58] over time. Turkey's approach
[01:35:02] in this regard is to complete
[01:35:06] this work more quickly
[01:35:09] to prevent any provocations
[01:35:12] or problems in the process. However,
[01:35:16] the Kandil side,
[01:35:19] the organization side,
[01:35:22] will try to spread this over
[01:35:26] time. As Mehmet Huçum
[01:35:29] mentioned, it seems
[01:35:32] likely that these reports will start
[01:35:36] to be written in October.
[01:35:39] However, will this report
[01:35:43] be a report stating that
[01:35:47] the weapons have been completely
[01:35:51] laid down and finished,
[01:35:55] or will it be a report confirming the situation
[01:35:58] on the ground, more like
[01:36:01] a report stating that
[01:36:05] the organization has been dissolved,
[01:36:09] has broken up, and has started
[01:36:12] to lay down its weapons,
[01:36:15] and that it has laid down so many
[01:36:19] weapons in this area and so many
[01:36:23] in that area, and that the process
[01:36:26] is moving in this direction?
[01:36:29] This kind of report will be presented
[01:36:33] to the National Security Council. The National Security
[01:36:36] Council will evaluate the incoming information.
[01:36:39] However, as the President stated
[01:36:43] in the National Security Council meeting,
[01:36:46] the process is still fragile. I believe
[01:36:50] that very important obstacles have been
[01:36:52] overcome, and a critical
[01:36:55] final obstacle has been overcome.
[01:36:59] Here, it is necessary to emphasize
[01:37:02] that there are no excuses
[01:37:06] left for the organization or Kandil
[01:37:10] to not lay down their weapons.
[01:37:13] We have entered a phase
[01:37:17] where there will be no
[01:37:21] legal excuse for them to do so. Now, even
[01:37:24] when we talk about everything,
[01:37:28] when we look back,
[01:37:31] we inevitably stop
[01:37:34] at October 1st. Yes,
[01:37:38] there is a great
[01:37:41] consensus. We know that
[01:37:45] the law passed the parliament.
[01:37:49] But on the other hand,
[01:37:52] there are issues on which
[01:37:54] no progress can be made
[01:37:58] between the opposition and the government,
[01:38:01] such as status and execution
[01:38:05] regulations. In such a situation,
[01:38:08] how will this great consensus
[01:38:11] find its place in the parliament
[01:38:14] or how will it be reflected after October 1st?
[01:38:18] Okay, there is 80-85%
[01:38:21] in society, but on the other
[01:38:24] hand, there are some
[01:38:26] execution regulations
[01:38:30] that are still being debated.
[01:38:33] Will some people benefit from them
[01:38:37] or not? Yes, I don't think
[01:38:40] this consensus will be broken
[01:38:44] in the near future. Because
[01:38:47] I don't think the opposition
[01:38:51] will take a stance
[01:38:54] against the framework law,
[01:38:56] which they voted for, while
[01:38:59] the organization is being dissolved and laying
[01:39:03] down its weapons. We have seen that the controversial
[01:39:07] issues you mentioned have existed
[01:39:10] since the beginning of the process.
[01:39:14] For example, there were parties
[01:39:17] that did not send members
[01:39:20] to the parliamentary commission.
[01:39:23] The main opposition
[01:39:32] party did not send members
[01:39:35] to the commission at that time.
[01:39:38] But over time, even though
[01:39:42] it did not send members
[01:39:45] to the commission, we observed
[01:39:49] that it did not take a stance
[01:39:52] against the eradication of terrorism
[01:39:56] in this process. In general,
[01:39:59] I believe
[01:40:02] that the disagreements can be resolved.
[01:40:06] The organization may have
[01:40:09] some objections, expectations,
[01:40:12] or demands. But let's express
[01:40:16] the framework law as
[01:40:19] it is. Its name
[01:40:22] is the "framework law."
[01:40:26] The framework of this process
[01:40:29] is drawn very clearly. It is a bit
[01:40:33] difficult to stretch
[01:40:36] this. Because this
[01:40:40] also represents a social
[01:40:43] and political consensus
[01:40:46] of 467 votes. I don't think
[01:40:48] either the government or the opposition
[01:40:52] will want to stretch
[01:40:56] this. So,
[01:40:59] the framework law
[01:41:02] is indeed the framework
[01:41:05] of this process. Mr. Kurtuluş,
[01:41:09] thank you very much
[01:41:12] for all your contributions.
[01:41:16] Thank you. Good broadcast.
[01:41:18] Now, let's see what will
[01:41:22] happen in the Republican People's Party today.
[01:41:25] The High Disciplinary Board will meet,
[01:41:29] so all eyes will be there.
[01:41:33] There are some names that the party
[01:41:37] management calls Trojan horses,
[01:41:40] because even though they did
[01:41:43] not resign from the CHP,
[01:41:47] they continue their political
[01:41:50] life in the new party.
[01:41:53] The expulsion files of these names
[01:41:57] will be on the agenda. We are
[01:42:01] in favor of clean politics,
[01:42:05] ethical politics, and correct politics.
[01:42:08] Politics must also be free
[01:42:11] from personal calculations.
[01:42:14] In the CHP, where preparations
[01:42:17] for the ordinary congress are underway,
[01:42:20] all eyes are on the meeting
[01:42:24] of the High Disciplinary Board today.
[01:42:27] At the top of the agenda
[01:42:30] are 49 names who have been referred
[01:42:34] to the disciplinary board with a request
[01:42:37] for permanent expulsion
[01:42:41] on the grounds that they supported
[01:42:45] another party. We will be cleansed.
[01:42:49] We will be cleansed
[01:42:56] of filth. Whoever was
[01:42:59] involved in this.
[01:43:02] The social media posts, statements
[01:43:06] to the press, and participation
[01:43:09] in new party activities of the names
[01:43:12] that the CHP management described as Trojan
[01:43:16] horses were examined.
[01:43:18] Since the notification
[01:43:24] process for some of the 49 names
[01:43:27] has not been completed, the expulsion
[01:43:31] decisions are expected to be made
[01:43:35] in October. Today,
[01:43:38] the objections to the precautionary
[01:43:42] measures will be discussed.
[01:43:45] The files of 9 members
[01:43:49] of parliament
[01:43:51] who were previously referred to the disciplinary
[01:43:55] board with a request for permanent
[01:43:59] expulsion, but resigned
[01:44:03] from the CHP and joined the new
[01:44:07] party,
[01:44:10] will be re-examined. The files
[01:44:13] could not be finalized in August
[01:44:17] due to legal and technical
[01:44:20] reasons. The file
[01:44:23] of Edirne member of parliament,
[01:44:26] who was referred to the disciplinary
[01:44:29] board with a request for permanent
[01:44:32] expulsion due to allegations
[01:44:35] of sexual
[01:44:36] harassment,
[01:44:40] is also expected to be discussed.
[01:44:43] The Istanbul 45th Civil
[01:44:46] Court of First Instance lifted
[01:44:48] all previously
[01:44:51] applied precautionary measures
[01:44:54] regarding the CHP Istanbul
[01:44:58] Provincial Congress on the grounds
[01:45:02] that circumstances
[01:45:03] have changed.
[01:45:06] Along with this, the duty
[01:45:10] of Gürsel Tekin and his delegation
[01:45:13] at the CHP Istanbul Provincial
[01:45:17] Chairmanship also ended.
[01:45:20] The court had temporarily
[01:45:23] suspended
[01:45:29] the CHP Istanbul Provincial Chairman,
[01:45:32] the Provincial Executive Board,
[01:45:36] and the Provincial Disciplinary Board
[01:45:40] members, and had appointed a temporary
[01:45:44] board to exercise the powers of
[01:45:47] these bodies. It was stated
[01:45:51] that the conditions requiring the continuation
[01:45:55] of the precautionary measures
[01:45:58] applied due to legal and factual
[01:46:02] developments in the case
[01:46:05] had ceased to exist,
[01:46:09] and the removal of the measures
[01:46:12] and the duty of the temporary
[01:46:15] board was requested. The court,
[01:46:19] evaluating the scope of
[01:46:22] the file
[01:46:23] and the stage
[01:46:27] reached, concluded
[01:46:31] that the situation and conditions had changed,
[01:46:35] and ruled to lift the
[01:46:38] measures
[01:46:53] with an interim decision dated
[01:46:56] September 2, 2025. Thus,
[01:47:00] the duty of Gürsel
[01:47:01] Tekin
[01:47:06] and the delegation appointed by the precautionary
[01:47:15] measure
[01:47:17] also ended.
[01:47:20] The main case regarding the cancellation
[01:47:23] of the CHP's 38th Istanbul
[01:47:26] Provincial Congress
[01:47:27] is still ongoing.
[01:47:32] The former MIT officer Kaşif Kozinoğlu's
[01:47:35] suspicious death in prison
[01:47:39] is deepening. The Chief Prosecutor
[01:47:42] of Silivri at the time,
[01:47:46] the prison prosecutor,
[01:47:48] and Kozinoğlu's
[01:47:52] cellmate have been
[01:47:56] detained. Minister of Justice
[01:47:59] Akın Gürlek stated
[01:48:01] that "we
[01:48:04] are determined not to leave
[01:48:06] any suspicious
[01:48:10] death in the dark, no matter
[01:48:12] we will continue to make our stance and iron fist felt.
[01:48:15] The procedures of a total of 191 suspects detained in both operations
[01:48:19] have been completed at the police station. The suspects,
[01:48:22] who underwent health checks, were referred to the courthouse.
[01:48:35] If you closely follow the financial markets,
[01:48:38] you are aware of the activity, and a series
[01:48:41] of measures have been taken by the economic
[01:48:45] administration. The Financial Stability Committee met, and
[01:48:48] from the meeting, a decision was made to take various
[01:48:51] steps to eliminate liquidity crunch and prevent
[01:48:55] the risk of contagion. The Central Bank and the Capital Markets
[01:48:58] Board also shared the details of the
[01:49:01] steps to be taken.
[01:49:06] In some funds held by a limited number of portfolio management companies.
[01:49:22] The latest situation in the capital markets was evaluated at the meeting. A written statement
[01:49:26] was made after the meeting. There is no fundamental
[01:49:30] or structural risk regarding the functioning of Borsa
[01:49:33] İstanbul and our capital markets. The problem is concentrated in a certain
[01:49:37] section of the fund market and is temporary
[01:49:40] and manageable. The Committee evaluated the measures
[01:49:44] that can be taken to ensure the healthy functioning of the markets
[01:49:47] and to maintain
[01:49:48] macro-financial stability.
[01:49:52] measures will primarily be aimed at resolving
[01:49:55] liquidity shortages and preventing the risk of contagion. On the other
[01:49:59] hand, our regulatory and supervisory institutions
[01:50:02] will continue to use their powers
[01:50:05] decisively against those
[01:50:08] found to have engaged in market-disrupting actions.
[01:50:10] Following the committee's statement, the Central Bank
[01:50:13] also took a liquidity step. The Bank announced
[01:50:17] that the amount of funding to be provided through weekly
[01:50:20] repo auctions will be increased.
[01:50:22] It was stated that banks' borrowing limits will also be
[01:50:25] updated, taking into account their current balance sheet size.
[01:50:28] A statement also came from the Capital Markets Board. The Board
[01:50:32] closed all investment funds traded on Tefas for 7 portfolio
[01:50:35] companies. It also decided to liquidate
[01:50:38] 130 investment funds
[01:50:41] belonging to these companies. The Banking Regulation and Supervision
[01:50:44] Agency also held a meeting. It allowed publicly
[01:50:48] traded banks to deduct their own shares acquired
[01:50:51] through buybacks from
[01:50:52] their core capital until the end of the year.
[01:50:57] Now, of course, there is also the investigation
[01:51:00] part of this, and the investigation is expanding.
[01:51:03] Four suspects were detained, and one was arrested.
[01:51:07] Access to 246 social media accounts and links
[01:51:10] death, the character
[01:51:14] Kazım Kaşifoğlu,
[01:51:15] a strong intelligence
[01:51:53] that aimed to mislead investors and create fear and panic
[01:51:57] in the market was also blocked. Another topic of the investigation
[01:52:00] is social media accounts. Accounts that contained
[01:52:04] posts aiming to mislead investors and create fear and
[01:52:07] panic in the market were examined. Upon
[01:52:10] the request of the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office,
[01:52:13] it was decided to block access to 246 social
[01:52:16] media accounts and links. The decision of the Istanbul
[01:52:20] 1st Criminal Judgeship of Peace was sent to the Cyber
[01:52:23] Security Department
[01:52:28] for implementation. What did we say? The economic
[01:52:32] administration took measures. These measures found
[01:52:35] a response in the market. Borsa Istanbul saw
[01:52:38] an increase of more than 3% during the day yesterday.
[01:52:42] In gold pricing, the decision from the Fed
[01:52:44] was awaited. We can say that the Fed came to the forefront
[01:52:48] with the reflections of the interest rate hike after 3 years. So,
[01:52:52] if you are wondering what awaits investors
[01:52:55] in the markets after this,
[01:52:56] let's watch our news together.
[01:53:01] News flow is intense in domestic and global markets. After
[01:53:04] the activity in Borsa Istanbul, the economic administration
[01:53:08] implemented a series of measures. With the effect of the steps taken,
[01:53:11] optimism came to the forefront in Borsa Istanbul.
[01:53:14] The BIST 100 index tested new daily highs
[01:53:18] above 13,540 points with a premium of 3.2%.
[01:53:22] A 9.35% increase was observed in the banking sector.
[01:53:25] There are certain measures taken by the Central Bank and the CMB.
[01:53:28] I can say that the turbulence that emerged was largely eliminated
[01:53:32] with its rapid implementation. According to experts, it is important
[01:53:35] for investors to follow the statements from official
[01:53:39] sources during this process. Investors need to act
[01:53:43] more cautiously. They should not make aggressive moves. Long-term
[01:53:46] investors always win in the stock market. I specifically emphasize
[01:53:50] that they should not make a decision or an investment
[01:53:53] activity based on daily movements. On the global front, all eyes were on the Fed's
[01:53:57] first interest rate hike in 3 years. Gold prices were pressured
[01:54:01] by both the interest rate hike and the signal
[01:54:04] of another hike by the end of this year.
[01:54:07] It first fell sharply, then recovered. After
[01:54:09] the decision was first announced, we saw a 1.2%
[01:54:13] pullback in gold prices, but then the pricing started to return to its previous level.
[01:54:17] The Fed's interest rate hike, the upward movement of bond yields, and the appreciation
[01:54:21] of the dollar will create a short-term pressure factor for gold.
[01:54:39] The 77th anniversary of the establishment of the People's
[01:54:42] Republic of China and the 55th
[01:54:45] anniversary of its diplomatic relations with Turkey
[01:54:48] were celebrated with a reception in Ankara. Emine Erdoğan,
[01:54:51] the wife of President Erdoğan, sent a message to the reception.
[01:54:55] In her message, Emine Erdoğan said: "I believe that
[01:54:58] our deep historical ties and strong cooperation
[01:55:01] will make significant contributions to world peace."
[01:55:08] A reception was held in Ankara to mark the 77th anniversary
[01:55:12] of the establishment of the People's Republic of China and the 55th
[01:55:15] anniversary of diplomatic relations with Turkey.
[01:55:19] Emine Erdoğan, the wife of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,
[01:55:22] sent a message
[01:55:23] to the reception.
[01:55:28] In her message, Emine Erdoğan congratulated the People's
[01:55:32] Republic of China on its 77th anniversary. She expressed
[01:55:35] her pleasure in observing the 55th anniversary
[01:55:39] of the establishment of diplomatic relations
[01:55:41] between Turkey, the representative of an ancient civilization,
[01:55:44] and the People's Republic of China.
[01:55:47] Emine Erdoğan drew attention to the deep
[01:55:50] historical ties between Turkey and the People's
[01:55:54] Republic of China. She included in her message:
[01:55:57] "I believe that cooperation will also make significant
[01:56:01] contributions to the peace, stability, and prosperity
[01:56:05] of our region and the world." In her message, Emine Erdoğan
[01:56:08] also expressed her hope that "our deepening friendship,
[01:56:11] unity, and solidarity will be lasting."
[02:00:41] We are with you in our second hour. Welcome
[02:00:44] once again to TRT News. This time, we will start
[02:00:48] with the Middle East War. Confusing statements
[02:00:51] from Donald Trump, the President of the United States,
[02:00:54] have been coming one after another. Why do I say this?
[02:00:58] Because he first said that the war
[02:01:01] with Iran would end soon. But then he
[02:01:05] announced that he was on the verge of a critical
[02:01:08] decision whether or not to restart large-scale
[02:01:11] attacks against Iran. Of course, there is
[02:01:14] a statement from Tehran. They say that they
[02:01:17] do not trust the United States, and they
[02:01:21] will give a strong response to any
[02:01:24] new attacks.
[02:01:33] The war will end very soon, just watch,
[02:01:36] they are taking a heavy blow and they really
[02:01:38] want to make a deal.
[02:01:56] The US President also announced that he was on the verge
[02:02:00] of a critical decision whether or not to restart
[02:02:03] large-scale attacks against Iran. Speaking to the American
[02:02:06] Axios news website, Trump said, "I have a big
[02:02:10] decision in front of me. Do I want to go in and destroy
[02:02:14] them or not? It's a big decision, anything can happen
[02:02:17] with me." Before the decision, Trump also wants to get
[02:02:21] the opinions of the regional countries. According to Axios,
[02:02:24] the US president is expected to discuss the Iran issue
[02:02:28] with the leaders
[02:02:29] of the Gulf countries next week.
[02:02:33] Meanwhile, a remarkable military step came from
[02:02:36] Washington towards Saudi Arabia. The possible
[02:02:39] sale of 48 F-35 fighter jets to Riyadh
[02:02:43] was approved. The statement said that the sale
[02:02:46] would not change the military
[02:02:49] balance in the region. Statements of reaction
[02:02:53] continue to come from Tehran to Washington. The Secretary-General
[02:02:56] of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaee,
[02:03:00] stated that "we do not trust the US in any
[02:03:03] way. They need to take practical steps to earn
[02:03:07] our trust." The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps
[02:03:10] also announced that "the US's miscalculations will be
[02:03:14] strongly responded to."
[02:03:17] The Army announced that a US-made
[02:03:20] MQ9 type unmanned aerial
[02:03:22] vehicle was shot down over Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz.
[02:03:26] The statement noted that this was the 53rd
[02:03:30] MQ9 type UAV
[02:03:31] shot down.
[02:03:36] The United Nations, Iran International
[02:03:40] Independent Investigation Commission published
[02:03:43] a report on the United States' actions in Iran.
[02:03:47] It announced that reasonable grounds were found
[02:03:51] to believe that the US
[02:03:52] committed war crimes.
[02:03:58] Indiscriminate attacks, civilian deaths,
[02:04:01] targeting of infrastructure.
[02:04:05] The United Nations, Iran International Independent
[02:04:08] Investigation Commission scrutinized the United
[02:04:12] States' actions in the war it launched against Iran. The report specifically
[02:04:16] mentioned the attack on the school in Minhad
[02:04:19] on the first day of the war, which killed 175 teachers
[02:04:23] and students. It was stated that the United States
[02:04:26] and Israel killed civilians in Iran. It was emphasized
[02:04:29] that the attacks were carried out indiscriminately,
[02:04:32] without distinguishing between civilian and military
[02:04:36] targets. The report stated that "we have found reasonable
[02:04:39] grounds to believe that the United States committed
[02:04:42] war crimes." The report also noted that the Tehran
[02:04:45] administration committed human rights violations against
[02:04:48] the Iranian people. It drew attention to the use of
[02:04:52] violence and mass arrests in the protests that started
[02:04:56] in the last days of 2025.
[02:05:00] Now we will talk a little about the Russia-Ukraine
[02:05:04] war. There is a statement from Ukrainian President
[02:05:07] Volodymyr Zelensky. He claimed that China
[02:05:11] was effectively on Russia's side. He also said
[02:05:14] that North Korean soldiers were learning modern
[02:05:17] warfare tactics in Russia and that this threatened
[02:05:20] stability in East Asia. The US House of Representatives
[02:05:24] also approved a bill
[02:05:25] containing new sanctions
[02:05:30] against Russia. He claimed that it was on Russia's side,
[02:05:33] and said that the war threatened stability in East
[02:05:37] Asia. He emphasized that North Korea gained
[02:05:41] war experience in Russia. Ukrainian President
[02:05:44] Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to Japanese state television.
[02:05:48] "They sent North Korean soldiers to Russia
[02:05:51] and so they learned modern war tactics." Russia claimed that
[02:05:55] the West staged the Bucha
[02:05:58] incidents on behalf of Ukraine. Ukraine's Western supporters,
[02:06:02] who were not happy with
[02:06:03] the agreement reached in Istanbul,
[02:06:06] staged the Bucha incidents. In March 2022,
[02:06:10] many civilians lost their lives in Bucha, which was
[02:06:14] under Russian occupation.
[02:06:15] Russia was accused of committing
[02:06:18] war crimes by killing civilians. On the field, clashes continue.
[02:06:22] Russia targeted many points, including the Ukrainian
[02:06:25] capital Kyiv. 18 people were injured. Ukraine
[02:06:29] hit Russia's Yaroslavl
[02:06:31] region oil refinery
[02:06:34] with drones. The refinery was announced to be damaged. The pressure of sanctions
[02:06:37] on Russia is also increasing. The United States House of
[02:06:41] Representatives approved a bill containing sanctions
[02:06:45] against Russia. The bill targets high-ranking Russian
[02:06:48] government officials, oligarchs, and state-owned companies,
[02:06:52] as well as Russian crude oil and natural gas.
[02:06:56] Donald Trump's signature is needed for the bill to become
[02:06:59] law. Moscow reacted to the bill. This falls into the category
[02:07:03] of hostile actions,
[02:07:03] and of course, any
[02:07:09] additional sanctions by the US will certainly
[02:07:12] complicate a peaceful resolution in Ukraine. Don't
[02:07:16] think that the United States only experiences tension
[02:07:19] with Iran. No, Canada has been quite popular
[02:07:23] lately, and this tension has even been taken to a new
[02:07:27] level. Canada has become closer to the European
[02:07:30] Union. A model called "associate membership" is
[02:07:34] being worked on. Trump said that if this happens,
[02:07:37] he would impose serious taxes
[02:07:41] on Europe. The Canadian Prime Minister stated
[02:07:45] that "no one can dictate to us who we can make
[02:07:48] agreements with." Relations between the United
[02:07:51] States and Canada have been strained since Trump took office.
[02:07:55] Canada turned its route towards the European Union.
[02:07:58] The Union announced
[02:08:02] that they were working on a new model with Ottawa
[02:08:05] under the name of associate membership instead of full membership.
[02:08:08] Trump reacted to this, saying it was ridiculous.
[02:08:11] "If they do this,
[02:08:13] and I consider it a hostile act, I will impose
[02:08:17] very serious taxes on Europe, or I
[02:08:19] will stop trade in many areas."
[02:08:22] Canadian Prime Minister
[02:08:30] Mark Carney spoke in the European Parliament.
[02:08:33] When he started his speech, there were chants
[02:08:36] of "USA", and he responded
[02:08:39] with a smile. He said that Canada would be a more
[02:08:43] effective partner for the United States, but he kept
[02:08:46] the tone of warning high. "No one can dictate
[02:08:49] to us our culture or with whom we can
[02:08:53] make agreements internationally."
[02:08:54] The Canadian government
[02:09:19] also took a new step away from Washington.
[02:09:23] It made a formal application to join the joint expeditionary
[02:09:26] force led by the UK. Democracy martyrs, the late Prime Minister Adnan Menderes
[02:10:00] and his comrades were commemorated at their graves. The Menderes,
[02:10:03] Zorlu, and Polatkan families attended the commemoration
[02:10:06] ceremony. The ceremony was held at the Monumental Tomb in
[02:10:10] Topkapı, Istanbul. Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi,
[02:10:19] AK Party Deputy Chairman Ömer Çelik also attended.
[02:10:22] Minister Çiftçi announced that martyr status was given
[02:10:25] to the late Interior Minister Namık Gedik, who allegedly
[02:10:29] committed suicide while in custody during the May
[02:10:33] 27, 1960 coup. "With the signature of our President
[02:10:35] yesterday, it has been decided that the remains of our
[02:10:39] late Interior Minister İsmail Namık Gedik will be
[02:10:42] transferred to this
[02:10:43] area where the Adnan Menderes
[02:10:46] Monumental Tomb is located." The grave located in Cebeci
[02:10:50] Asri Cemetery in Ankara will be moved to the Adnan
[02:10:54] Menderes Monumental Cemetery in Istanbul.
[02:10:57] Tevfik İleri, the grandson of the Minister of Public
[02:11:01] Works at the time, who was tried in Yassıada
[02:11:05] after the May 27, 1960 coup, and AK Party
[02:11:08] Deputy Chairman Ömer İleri were also at the ceremony. "Serving his state and nation
[02:11:32] in various positions in this great struggle,
[02:11:34] without ever compromising on honesty and sincerity,
[02:11:37] has been initiated in line with the will
[02:11:41] and instructions of Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
[02:11:44] This is not just a grave transfer, of course. This step
[02:11:48] is the completion
[02:11:51] of an unfinished page of history by the state
[02:11:55] after 66 years. In order to erase
[02:11:58] the traces of this black mark that our history
[02:12:02] of democracy carries and to fulfill a historical
[02:12:05] debt of loyalty, even though there was
[02:12:08] a blackout by certain circles, a historical
[02:12:13] step has been taken with the determined will of our
[02:12:16] President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The ceremony,
[02:12:19] where President Erdoğan's
[02:12:23] message was also read, ended with prayers
[02:12:27] and the laying of carnations at the monumental tomb.
[02:12:30] The democracy martyrs of the May 27 Coup, Prime Minister
[02:12:34] Adnan Menderes, Foreign Minister Fatin Rüşti
[02:12:37] Zorlu, and Finance Minister Hasan Polatkan, were commemorated
[02:12:40] throughout the day. President Erdoğan issued a message.
[02:12:43] In his message, he underlined that May 27 was a heavy blow to Turkish democracy
[02:12:47] and the will of the nation.
[02:12:50] Ömer Çelik also shared commemoration messages.
