[00:00:00] MASAK had requested actually, it's nice to
[00:00:01] MİT officer there, account movements of executives of
[00:00:03] four companies and their subsidiaries within the scope.
[00:00:07] It was determined that a large amount of foreign currency was transferred
[00:00:11] abroad from the accounts of the Chairmen of the Boards of Directors of Pusula Holding
[00:00:14] and Pusula Portfolio Management Company. These are important and have details.
[00:00:18] Now let's turn our cameras to Istanbul. For the details of this important
[00:00:21] issue, let's give the floor to Sema Akbulut
[00:00:25] to listen to the notes in her hand.
[00:00:29] Yes. As you said, the scope of the financial investigation within the scope of the
[00:00:33] fund investigation was expanded.
[00:00:35] The prosecution had requested identity determinations
[00:00:39] for the persons in the subsidiaries of the four companies,
[00:00:42] had requested their identity information, and
[00:00:45] had requested a detailed report based on the MASAK report
[00:00:49] for the first-degree relatives of these four companies,
[00:00:52] to examine their accounts and whether crypto assets and money
[00:00:56] had been transferred abroad. The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office had requested
[00:00:59] this. Now let's share the newest information
[00:01:02] that has come. The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office had stated that a MASAK report
[00:01:06] should be prepared quickly and urgently. And
[00:01:10] currently, according to the first determinations made in the fund
[00:01:13] investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office,
[00:01:16] it was determined that 15 million dollars
[00:01:20] was transferred to an account in Switzerland from the account of Serdar Turhan,
[00:01:24] Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pusula Holding, and
[00:01:27] 25 million euros was transferred to an account
[00:01:30] in Switzerland from the account of Muhammet Yazıcı,
[00:01:34] Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pusula Portfolio Management Inc.
[00:01:38] and the scope of the fund investigation and financial review
[00:01:41] has been expanded. Currently, a detailed investigation is being
[00:01:45] carried out in MASAK reports. A report will be prepared and submitted
[00:01:49] to the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. Let's share
[00:01:52] another development with you. Nihat Kırmızı
[00:01:56] was also detained. Now, on the one hand,
[00:02:00] new developments are taking place regarding those money transfers,
[00:02:03] and on the other hand, detentions and arrests are also taking place
[00:02:06] within the scope of the fund investigation. Within the scope of the fund investigation
[00:02:10] conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office,
[00:02:13] businessman Nihat Kırmızı,
[00:02:16] Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Istanbul Topkapı University and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Doğa
[00:02:19] Sigorta, was also detained.
[00:02:22] Let's state that Kırmızı's procedures at the police department
[00:02:26] within the scope of the investigation are ongoing. As we said, the fund
[00:02:29] investigation is currently being expanded. While financial
[00:02:32] investigations are being carried out by MASAK,
[00:02:36] the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office stated that MASAK should prepare a report urgently,
[00:02:39] and on the other hand, detentions
[00:02:43] and arrests are also taking place. We said that four people were arrested yesterday.
[00:02:47] We have just shared the information that a businessman
[00:02:50] was arrested. I apologize, we shared the information that he was detained.
[00:02:54] On the one hand, the details regarding
[00:02:58] the money transfers in the fund investigation
[00:03:01] have also started to emerge. It was announced
[00:03:05] that 15 million dollars was transferred to an account in Switzerland
[00:03:09] from the account of Serdar Turhan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pusula Holding,
[00:03:12] and 25 million euros was transferred to an account
[00:03:16] in Switzerland from the account of Muhammet Yazıcı,
[00:03:19] Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pusula Portfolio Management Inc.
[00:03:22] Now, what exactly was it? If you
[00:03:26] want to explain it a little bit, there were companies that were publicly
[00:03:30] offered, and currently, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office
[00:03:33] took sudden money outflows and increases
[00:03:37] in publicly offered companies
[00:03:40] under investigation. And after that, detentions
[00:03:43] and arrests occurred within the scope of the fund investigation.
[00:03:46] And today, a detailed report was requested from MASAK,
[00:03:50] and in the report, the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office
[00:03:53] sent a letter requesting the identification
[00:03:57] information of all executives of Pusula Finance Holding,
[00:04:00] Tera Investment Securities, Hedef Holding, and Bus Investment Securities
[00:04:04] and their subsidiaries. The investigation will also cover
[00:04:07] the money and crypto asset movements of the executives.
[00:04:10] The money and crypto asset
[00:04:14] transfers made abroad by the determined executives
[00:04:17] since 2024 will be investigated.
[00:04:20] All money inflows and outflows were requested to be sent
[00:04:24] to the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office as raw data. The scope of the financial
[00:04:27] investigation also includes the primary relatives of 4 fund managers.
[00:04:36] Is there any change in their accounts regarding
[00:04:39] crypto assets? All these will be determined.
[00:04:43] In the report to be prepared by MASAK,
[00:04:46] it will be investigated whether money and crypto assets
[00:04:49] were transferred abroad directly by the executives
[00:04:52] or through their relatives, based on financial
[00:04:55] data. The said information
[00:04:58] was requested to be sent to the prosecution
[00:05:01] urgently by MASAK. The data to be received
[00:05:05] from MASAK will reveal the domestic and foreign financial movements
[00:05:09] of company executives and individuals under investigation
[00:05:13] within the scope of the investigation. While four suspects have been arrested
[00:05:16] so far, a travel ban abroad
[00:05:20] and a precautionary measure on assets have been decided for 51 people.
[00:05:24] Finally, we would like to state that businessman Nihat Kırmızı
[00:05:28] has also been detained and his procedures at the police department are ongoing.
[00:05:31] We are following the developments with my cameraman friend Yüksel,
[00:05:35] and we hand the floor back to you. President
[00:05:38] Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
[00:05:47] set off for the United States of America.
[00:05:51] Erdoğan will address the 81st General Assembly
[00:05:54] of the United Nations on September 22.

[00:06:01] The President will also attend many meetings

[00:06:33] the General Assembly on September 22. In his highly
[00:06:37] anticipated speech.
[00:07:00] President Erdoğan's expression "the world is bigger
[00:07:03] than five," which he first used here in 2014
[00:07:07] to criticize the structure of the United Nations,
[00:07:11] has become a global slogan. Erdoğan
[00:07:14] will emphasize the stagnation and injustices
[00:07:17] in the global system in this year's United Nations speech.
[00:07:21] President Erdoğan's leader diplomacy,
[00:07:24] who met with the heads of state and government of 68 countries
[00:07:28] this year, will continue in New York. Erdoğan will meet with some leaders
[00:07:31] attending the United Nations General Assembly.
[00:07:34] Among those leaders, US President Donald
[00:07:38] Trump is also expected.
[00:07:42] Türkevi, located directly opposite the United Nations
[00:07:45] building, has become a center where the heart of global
[00:07:49] diplomacy beats since its opening in 2021.
[00:07:53] Türkevi will host the bilateral meetings

[00:11:58] Voters in Germany went to the polls today
[00:12:01] in the states of Berlin and Mecklenburg Vorpommern, dear viewers.
[00:12:05] What are the first results according to exit polls?
[00:12:08] We will get the first statements. For details, we are turning
[00:12:11] our cameras to Germany, to Berlin, the capital of Germany.
[00:12:14] Our friend Ramazan Aktaş from the TRT News team is in front of us.
[00:12:17] What notes do you have regarding the first results? Today, Berlin hosted
[00:12:21] a very important election. What will you tell us there?
[00:12:28] "Sezen, last week we shared the election results of Saxony-Anhalt.
[00:12:32] The far-right party AFD received 44% of the votes,
[00:12:35] and this was described as the biggest step in Germany
[00:12:39] after World War II in 1945 for a far-right party
[00:12:42] to become the prime minister in a state. Of course, there was a question mark
[00:12:45] in the public whether a similar situation would occur in other states,
[00:12:49] and we can say that it did. We see that the far-left
[00:12:53] party is leading in Berlin. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
[00:12:56] the far-right party AFD is in the first place.
[00:13:00] If we talk in numbers, we received the current numbers two minutes ago.
[00:13:04] In Berlin, the Christian Democratic Party lost 8.2% of its votes
[00:13:07] and fell to 20%. While the far-left party
[00:13:10] rose to 24.8% with a 12.6% increase
[00:13:13] in votes, AFD increased
[00:13:17] its votes to 15.7%.
[00:13:20] The Social Democratic Party lost 6.4% of its votes
[00:13:23] and fell to 12%. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
[00:13:27] there is a very interesting situation. While the far-left is leading in Berlin,
[00:13:30] the far-right party is leading in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
[00:13:34] AFD increased its votes by 20.6%
[00:13:37] to 37.1%. The Christian Democrats
[00:13:41] lost 8% of their votes and fell to 5.3%.
[00:13:44] We said in our broadcast an hour ago that they were above the 5%
[00:13:48] threshold, we said 5.5%, but as of now, they have fallen to 5.3%.
[00:13:51] So, will the Christian Democrats fall below the threshold
[00:13:55] in the coming hours? This is also a question mark. The Social Democratic Party
[00:13:59] lost 4.1% of its votes and fell to 35.5%. Of course, there are also polls
[00:14:03] for other states. There are elections in the coming months. We see
[00:14:06] that AFD has reached 42% in Saxony.
[00:14:10] It is at 40% in Thuringia and 37% in Brandenburg.
[00:14:13] Prime Minister Friedrich Merz made a statement
[00:14:16] in the past hour. He said, "We will continue
[00:14:19] to implement our reforms with courage. I am
[00:14:23] in charge." But when we observe and follow
[00:14:26] public broadcasters and experts,
[00:14:30] the comment comes that Friedrich Merz may resign
[00:14:33] in the coming hours. Let us remind you
[00:14:36] that in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, they appear to be only 0.3
[00:14:40] points above the threshold. We will continue to report on the German elections
[00:14:43] with the difference of TRT News, Sezen.
[00:14:48] US President Donald Trump said he was
[00:14:52] entering a decision-making phase regarding Iran. He said,
[00:14:55] "Big developments are on the way." The American president
[00:14:59] also signaled that he was open to meeting with Iranian President
[00:15:02] Pezeshkian at the United Nations
[00:15:03] General Assembly to be held this week.
[00:15:08] As the Iran war continues, all eyes are on New York this week.
[00:15:12] US President Donald Trump made statements regarding
[00:15:15] Iran to Fox News. He warned that significant
[00:15:19] developments would occur
[00:15:21] if Tehran did not change its stance.
[00:15:24] My question is, "When and how will I blow
[00:15:27] up the whole country? They better behave."
[00:15:30] Trump also said that the current
[00:15:33] options were to completely destroy the country, abandon it economically,
[00:15:41] or "a critical decision-making stage has been entered
[00:15:44] in the ongoing war with Iran. Big things will happen
[00:15:48] in the not-too-distant future. I am in the decision-making
[00:15:51] stage." Trump stated that he would probably
[00:15:55] be open to meeting with Iranian President Mesla. He expressed his willingness
[00:15:58] to establish diplomatic contact.
[00:16:02] Trump also said that contacts with the Houthis in Yemen
[00:16:05] were continuing.
[00:16:07] He stated that he was in communication with Washington
[00:16:11] after the ballistic missile attacks targeting Habistan. He claimed
[00:16:14] that the group agreed
[00:16:16] to avoid fighting with American forces.
[00:16:20] Genocidal Israel violates the ceasefire.
[00:16:24] It continues its attacks on Gaza. In the latest attacks, three Palestinians, including
[00:16:28] two children, were injured. Due to the electricity crisis
[00:16:31] in Gaza, health services have completely come to a standstill.
[00:16:35] The murderous Israel's attacks in the occupied West Bank
[00:16:38] do not end.
[00:16:43] Genocidal Israel attacks Gaza despite the ceasefire.
[00:16:47] Murderous Israeli elements opened fire on Palestinians
[00:16:50] in southern Gaza. Three people, including
[00:16:53] two children, were injured.
[00:16:57] Due to Israel's blockade, Gaza is also experiencing
[00:17:00] a fuel crisis. Health services, which were heavily
[00:17:04] damaged in the attacks and are trying to stand
[00:17:12] on their own with generators due to lack of electricity,
[00:17:16] are not working because some of the generators lack oil
[00:17:19] and spare parts. Their decommissioning will lead
[00:17:23] to the cessation of many health services
[00:17:24] provided in hospitals.
[00:17:27] Thousands of people will be deprived of these services. Murderous Israel continues
[00:17:31] its attacks in the occupied West Bank.
[00:17:34] Israeli elements killed a Palestinian
[00:17:39] in the city of Jenin. Israelis, who usurped Palestinian
[00:17:42] lands, added a new violation to their violations
[00:17:46] against Al-Aqsa Mosque, the first Qibla of Muslims.
[00:17:49] In the early hours of the morning, many invading Israeli
[00:17:52] elements were able to enter Al-Aqsa
[00:17:56] under protection. In Italy, reactions
[00:18:00] to the genocidal Israel's genocide in Gaza escalated.
[00:18:03] A giant shroud with the names of the murdered
[00:18:08] Palestinian children was carried in the streets of Sicily. A memorial ceremony was also
[00:18:12] held for more than 20,000 children who lost their lives.
[00:18:17] Genocidal Israel killed more than 20,000 children in Gaza.
[00:18:21] The names of those murdered children were written
[00:18:24] on a 30-meter long shroud. The shroud was carried in the streets
[00:18:28] of Sicily, Italy.
[00:18:32] The killing of Palestinian children was protested in the town of Shaka.
[00:18:35] Associations, students, and many people
[00:18:38] participated in the march.
[00:18:42] After the march, the shroud with the names
[00:18:45] of the Palestinian children was taken to the courtyard of the municipality.
[00:18:49] A ceremony was held for thousands of children
[00:18:52] who lost their lives in the attacks.
[00:18:54] It was stated that the shroud traveled
[00:18:58] to different regions of Italy. The Russia-Ukraine war
[00:19:01] claimed that leaders were preparing for war with Russia.
[00:19:05] The Slovak Prime Minister said that some Western politicians
[00:19:09] want war between Russia and NATO. Switzerland
[00:19:12] approved its new security strategy
[00:19:16] against the Russia-Ukraine
[00:19:22] war and increasing hybrid threats. As tensions escalated
[00:19:25] between Russia and the West, Russian President Vladimir Putin
[00:19:28] sent noteworthy messages to Europe. Some European leaders
[00:19:32] openly declare that they are preparing
[00:19:35] for war with Russia.
[00:20:07] He said that some Western politicians wanted
[00:20:11] a war between Russia
[00:20:12] and NATO by adding fuel to the fire. Some warmongers
[00:20:16] in NATO are doing everything they can to turn
[00:20:20] this war into a conflict between Russia
[00:20:23] and NATO, at all costs.
[00:20:27] The Slovak Prime Minister claimed that anti-Russian rhetoric
[00:20:31] in Europe was being used to cover up political
[00:20:34] inefficiency.
[00:20:37] Switzerland, on the other hand, announced its new security
[00:20:41] strategy with an emphasis on the Russia-Ukraine War.
[00:20:44] It was stated that the international security situation
[00:20:47] is becoming increasingly unstable.
[00:20:50] The detail of Turkey in Switzerland's
[00:20:53] new security strategy also attracted attention.
[00:20:57] Turkey, along with Brazil, India, and Saudi Arabia,
[00:21:00] was included in the category of regional powers.
[00:21:04] Technical investigations are continuing
[00:21:08] in the Eurofighter procurement process for Turkey. A delegation
[00:21:11] of experts from the Ministry of National Defense
[00:21:15] inspected the aircraft maintenance facilities
[00:21:18] at Royal Air Force Cunningsby air base in England.
[00:21:21] The planning of maintenance
[00:21:26] and sustainment processes, the compatibility of technical
[00:21:29] infrastructure, and the development of joint cooperation were discussed
[00:21:33] during the visit. The Ministry of National Defense announced
[00:21:36] that a technical investigation
[00:21:39] was carried out in England within the scope of the project.
[00:21:42] For the technical investigation, a group of expert personnel
[00:21:46] consisting of employees from the Ministry of National Defense,

[00:22:51] the international illegal Forex fraud managed by Israeli-linked
[00:22:55] individuals continues. The statements of 203 suspects,
[00:22:58] including 11 Israeli citizens and 47 foreign nationals
[00:23:02] who were detained, are being taken. According to the first statements
[00:23:05] of the suspects,

[00:23:14] was actually owned by Israeli citizens.
[00:23:18] The international illegal Forex fraud
[00:23:21] investigation, which was launched upon the application
[00:23:24] of hundreds of victims,
[00:23:26] is deepening. In the investigation
[00:23:30] conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office
[00:23:33] in coordination with MIT, the police, and MASAK,

[00:23:51] In fact, it was even forbidden to speak Turkish in the company
[00:23:54] except in the kitchen. The de facto owner of the company
[00:23:57] was Emit Yegal, an Israeli. The official
[00:24:01] boss was İlhami için. Maxim Verzilov was
[00:24:05] the second biggest boss after Yegal.
[00:24:08] An Azerbaijani named Tural was a manager at the boss level.
[00:24:11] The information of the people to be defrauded was purchased
[00:24:15] and then directed to call centers. Personnel speaking
[00:24:18] different languages
[00:24:25] for many countries around the world were working.
[00:24:28] It is also among the allegations that money was transported
[00:24:32] in cash in the fraud company. Emit Yegal's private
[00:24:35] driver was bringing large amounts of cash
[00:24:38] in the car and in a safe.

[00:24:44] The data obtained in the investigation, suspect statements, MASAK data,
[00:24:48] and seized digital
[00:25:00] materials are being examined together. Money transfers,
[00:25:03] hierarchical ties between foreign managers, and the roles
[00:25:07] of Israeli-linked individuals in the companies
[00:25:09] are also under scrutiny. So far, 203 suspects
[00:25:12] have been detained within the scope of the investigation.
[00:25:15] 11 Israeli citizens were identified among
[00:25:17] the 47 suspects from 20 countries.

[00:25:31] officer Karşıf Kozenoğlu continues. After the questioning
[00:25:34] of the three suspects in custody, they are expected
[00:25:38] to be referred to the courthouse. The investigation into
[00:25:41] the suspicious death of former MIT officer Karşıf
[00:25:44] Kozenoğlu is deepening. Lastly, the former
[00:25:47] journalist.
[00:26:05] The ambulance driver was released after his statement
[00:26:08] to the police, taking into account the current
[00:26:12] evidence. The other three suspects in custody
[00:26:15] are expected to be referred to the courthouse
[00:26:18] after their statements. Earlier, 6 suspects
[00:26:22] were arrested
[00:26:24] within the scope of the investigation.
[00:26:30] Among those arrested were Ali İşgörenli,
[00:26:34] the then Chief Public Prosecutor of Selevli, who was expelled
[00:26:38] due to his FETÖ membership, and former.
[00:26:40] In the Alihan Kuriş criminal organization
[00:26:44] investigation, evidence was found that cash
[00:26:48] was hidden in aid
[00:26:50] shipments and sent abroad.
[00:26:53] Based on the new evidence, detention orders
[00:26:56] it was determined that they organized money and asset movements and facilitated
[00:27:00] unregistered transfers. It was understood
[00:27:02] that the suspects carried out activities aimed at laundering income
[00:27:06] evaluated as obtained

[00:27:18] in aid shipments sent abroad. It was determined
[00:27:22] that some money transfers were carried out unregistered
[00:27:25] through online payment systems, a significant portion of which
[00:27:29] was through logistical companies and couriers. It was determined
[00:27:32] that some individuals and companies provided consultancy services to make these transactions
[00:27:36] legal.
[00:27:41] Three witness statements also drew attention during the investigation.
[00:27:45] Witnesses claimed that pressure was put on them to vote for the CHP during election
[00:27:48] periods. They stated that those who opposed
[00:27:52] were not allowed into dormitories,
[00:27:53] mosques, and social facilities.
[00:27:56] Justice Minister Akın Güllek announced that two more unsolved murders
[00:28:00] were illuminated. In Osmaniye, in August,
[00:28:02] the lifeless body of Ayşegül Yaşar, who had disappeared, was found.
[00:28:06] The suspect and her parents were taken into custody. In Istanbul,
[00:28:09] the 5th suspect in the murder of Abdülhamit Terkin,

[00:28:36] The file of Ayşegül Yaşar, who disappeared in Düziçi district
[00:28:39] of Osmaniye, was re-examined comprehensively.
[00:28:43] Phone and camera records, witness statements, and
[00:28:46] criminal examinations were evaluated together.
[00:28:48] Biological findings were detected in the vehicle used by the identified
[00:28:52] suspect on the day of the incident. It was determined
[00:28:56] that the findings were compatible with samples taken from Ayşegül Yaşar's
[00:28:59] parents. The studies
[00:29:02] were deepened.
[00:29:06] Along with the murder suspect, the suspect's parents were also
[00:29:10] taken into custody.
[00:29:13] In Gazi Osmanpaşa, Istanbul, a new development occurred
[00:29:16] in the file of Abdülhamit Terkin, who was killed
[00:29:19] in 2018. Phone and base station records and witness
[00:29:22] statements were re-evaluated. Security camera footage was
[00:29:26] improved. As a result of the examinations, the 5th suspect
[00:29:30] in the murder was identified. The apprehended suspect
[00:29:33] was arrested for intentional murder.
[00:29:37] Justice Minister Akın Gürlek, who shared details
[00:29:40] about unsolved cases, emphasized that no murder
[00:29:43] would remain in the dark.
[00:29:47] Another important turning point was reached in the process
[00:29:50] leading to the extraordinary general assembly of the Nationalist
[00:29:54] Movement Party in Ankara. The new administration of the MHP
[00:29:57] Ankara Organization was determined at the MHP Ankara Ordinary Provincial
[00:30:01] Congress. MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, who sent a letter to the congress,
[00:30:04] gave important messages
[00:30:08] regarding the "Turkey Without Terror" process. The Nationalist Movement
[00:30:12] Party Ankara Ordinary Provincial Congress was held. The meeting
[00:30:16] was marked by great enthusiasm. Messages of unity and solidarity
[00:30:19] stood out at the congress, held under the slogan "Brotherhood
[00:30:23] in our hearts, future in our minds." Leader Devlet Bahçeli. In the letter
[00:30:27] he sent to the congress, MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli emphasized a Turkey
[00:30:30] without terror. He said that the "Turkey without terror" vision
[00:30:34] is of historical importance for removing obstacles
[00:30:38] to the Turkey Century goals. He stated that with a Turkey
[00:30:41] without terror, the thousand-year-old brotherhood will be taken as a reference
[00:30:45] and national unity will be protected. Bahçeli's messages were applauded
[00:30:49] on their feet in the hall. The participation in the congress
[00:30:51] was intense. Deputies, MYK members, and delegates,
[00:30:55] as well as veterans and martyrs' families, were in the congress
[00:30:59] hall. AK Party deputies and AK Party Ankara Provincial
[00:31:15] Chairman Hakan Han Özcan and Keçiören Mayor Mesut Özarslan
[00:31:19] also attended the congress as guests.
[00:31:21] This is the declaration that it has reached
[00:31:24] the power to liquidate the terror organization
[00:31:26] with all its roots
[00:31:28] and all the areas it feeds from. The terror
[00:31:31] organization is being liquidated. No sentence
[00:31:34] is applied without weapons being laid down.
[00:31:37] The state is not retreating.
[00:31:41] The state is cleaning up whatever
[00:31:44] is left of the scourge of terror that has been shedding
[00:31:47] our nation's blood for 50 years. This is Turkey's
[00:31:49] new era. Alpaslan Doğan,
[00:31:53] who entered the congress as the sole candidate, was re-elected
[00:31:57] as MHP Ankara Provincial Chairman. The new week
[00:31:59] will be busy for the CHP. On Thursday, the MYK
[00:32:03] will convene under the chairmanship of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. On Friday,
[00:32:07] the Abant camp, which will last for 3 days for deputies and party management, will begin.
[00:32:11] At the camp, strategies
[00:32:15] regarding the new legislative period and the roadmap
[00:32:18] that the CHP will follow in its parliamentary work
[00:32:21] will be discussed.
[00:32:25] "We will hold a glorious convention.
[00:32:28] We will re-establish the Republican People's Party
[00:32:32] on its founding ethical codes."
[00:32:36] The new week will be busy for the CHP, where preparations
[00:32:39] for the ordinary convention
[00:32:41] are underway. Chairman Kemal
[00:32:59] Kılıçtaroğlu will convene the Central Executive Board

[00:33:28] will be determined. The topics expected to be on the agenda
[00:33:31] of the parliament will be discussed.
[00:33:43] Group deputy chairmen will make presentations
[00:33:47] on legislative activities. Deputies will take the floor
[00:33:50] one by one and convey the demands
[00:33:55] in their constituencies and their suggestions for the new period.
[00:33:59] After the 3-day camp, the CHP will finalize
[00:34:03] its work program for the new legislative year.
[00:34:06] Excessive speed, carelessness, and rule violations
[00:34:09] caused traffic accidents. In accidents that occurred
[00:34:13] in the country, one person died and 11 people were injured.
[00:34:17] In Hatay, a motorcycle collided with a light commercial
[00:34:21] vehicle coming from the opposite
[00:34:24] direction. The seriously injured motorcycle driver
[00:34:28] was taken to the hospital, but despite all interventions,
[00:34:32] the driver lost his life. On the Hatay Reyhanlı Antakya
[00:34:35] Highway, a motorcyclist hit a truck that was stopped
[00:34:38] in the emergency lane from behind.
[00:34:45] The driver of the motorcycle, which was thrown by the impact,
[00:34:48] was seriously injured. It was reported that the injured person,
[00:34:52] who was taken to the hospital
[00:34:53] after initial intervention,
[00:35:00] was in critical condition. In Adana, a mother
[00:35:03] who was taking her two children to school on a motorcycle
[00:35:07] was hit by a three-wheeled
[00:35:07] motorcycle driven by a 16-year-old
[00:35:15] unlicensed girl. The mother was injured in the accident,
[00:35:19] and her children also experienced great fear. The accident moment
[00:39:25] to me actually, I love anchovies but my husband
[00:39:29] loves bonito, so it will probably
[00:39:32] be his choice today, we will buy bonito
[00:39:35] on weekdays and weekends, we buy it two
[00:39:39] or three times a week.
[00:39:39] Sellers are happy
[00:39:44] that the season started well. It's 250 lira,
[00:39:47] it continues the same way, 300 l for sadder
[00:39:50] and 200 lira for sales continues. There are sea
[00:39:53] breams and sea basses, fish that are always available.
[00:39:58] We are giving it to citizens
[00:40:00] for 200 lira. Currently,
[00:40:02] the most popular fish with a 90% share
[00:40:06] is bonito. The abundance of bonito
[00:40:10] continues in the sea. In Istanbul, the most
[00:40:12] sold fish in August
[00:40:15] was bonito with approximately 156 tons. Horse mackerel,
[00:40:18] sea bream, and sardine are also among the most
[00:40:21] preferred fish. They say this season is the bonito
[00:40:24] season. I bought bonito last time and it was very
[00:40:28] good. It was really fresh. We love fish. We started
[00:40:32] with bonito, and it started to get more delicious
[00:40:34] slowly. For me,
[00:40:37] the best option is bonito. With the change of seasons
[00:40:40] and the opening of schools, viruses have become active.
[00:40:44] In recent weeks,
[00:40:45] an increase in flu cases
[00:40:50] has been observed. Experts warn those over 65
[00:40:52] and those with chronic illnesses. It is noted
[00:40:56] that the ideal time for vaccination is now.
[00:41:00] With the arrival of autumn, the weather suddenly got cold.
[00:41:03] The number of people applying to hospitals
[00:41:07] with flu symptoms increased.
[00:41:12] In patients over 65, in individuals with chronic
[00:41:15] illnesses, in people in high-risk groups,
[00:41:18] we see more flu infections.
[00:41:21] Experts especially
[00:41:24] emphasize that patients in risk groups such
[00:41:27] as heart, asthma, and diabetes should be vaccinated.
[00:41:31] So, when is the right time for the flu vaccine?
[00:41:34] We especially want these people to be vaccinated,
[00:41:38] because they can come
[00:41:46] to us with more severe infections. October and November are the ideal
[00:41:50] time for vaccination before the disease
[00:41:53] peaks. Individuals in high-risk
[00:41:57] groups can access their vaccines
[00:41:59] free of charge
[00:42:04] by applying to their family doctors.
[00:42:08] The viruses that cause the vaccine vary
[00:42:11] every year. Having been vaccinated in previous years
[00:42:15] or having had the flu does not mean that there
[00:42:18] is no need to be vaccinated this year.
[00:42:22] Temperatures, which will be around seasonal
[00:42:25] norms at the beginning of the week, are expected
[00:42:28] to drop starting from northern regions
[00:42:31] from Tuesday. In the middle of the week,
[00:42:35] cold weather will also
[00:42:36] increase its effect
[00:42:41] in the interior and western parts. In Ankara, Istanbul,
[00:42:44] and Izmir, cool weather will be effective
[00:42:47] from the middle of the week. Temperatures will drop
[00:42:50] in the new week.
[00:42:51] Rainy weather will increase
[00:42:57] its effect in some regions. Meteorology
[00:43:00] shared the expected temperature forecasts
[00:43:04] for the new week. Temperatures, which will
[00:43:06] be around seasonal
[00:43:10] norms at the beginning of the week, are expected
[00:43:13] to drop starting from northern regions
[00:43:16] from Tuesday. From the middle of the week,
[00:43:19] cold weather will also increase its effect
[00:43:22] in the interior and western regions.
[00:43:25] Rainy weather will continue to be effective
[00:43:29] in some regions. At the beginning of the week,
[00:43:32] especially in the northeast of the country,
[00:43:35] thunderstorms will be effective locally in the Black Sea
[00:43:39] and the northern parts of Eastern Anatolia
[00:43:43] throughout the week. So, how will the temperatures
[00:43:47] be in the three major cities? In the capital
[00:43:50] Ankara, temperatures, which will be around
[00:43:53] 24-25 degrees at the beginning of the week,
[00:43:57] are expected to drop from the middle of the week.
[00:44:00] In Istanbul, partly
[00:44:04] cloudy weather will be effective throughout the week,
[00:44:08] and temperatures will be around 20-22 degrees.
[00:44:11] Izmir will start the week with an air temperature
[00:44:14] of 30-31 degrees.
[00:44:19] Temperatures are expected to drop to 25-27
[00:44:22] degrees from the middle of the week.
[00:44:25] In Sakarya, a neighborhood-based transformation project
[00:44:28] has been launched. A total of 109 buildings
[00:44:31] are being demolished in Tığcılar neighborhood.
[00:44:35] The renovated houses are expected to be delivered
[00:44:38] by 2028. In Sakarya, a city
[00:44:42] affected by the earthquake, urban transformation continues
[00:44:46] without slowing down. A new stage has been reached
[00:44:50] within the scope of the studies after the 1999
[00:44:53] Marmara earthquake. For the first time
[00:44:56] in the city, a neighborhood-based urban transformation project
[00:45:00] has been launched. The demolition of 109 buildings and 718
[00:45:04] independent units in Tığcıdar Neighborhood, Adapazarı
[00:45:07] district, by Sakarya Metropolitan Municipality has started.
[00:45:11] We have been experiencing the process you have been
[00:45:14] following for about 1.5 years. By meeting
[00:45:17] with our citizens one by one, gaining
[00:45:21] their approval, with the approval of our
[00:45:24] right holders, the agreement for 718 independent
[00:45:27] units has been completed
[00:45:30] with a 92% approval. The neighborhood has turned
[00:45:34] into a gigantic construction site.
[00:45:37] Our demolition tender is 3 months. Of course,
[00:45:40] we continue simultaneously during this period.
[00:45:44] Our goal is to complete these houses by 2028
[00:45:46] and deliver them to the right
[00:45:49] holders. We provide rent assistance, we provide
[00:45:53] relocation support. The project aims for citizens
[00:45:57] to live in safer structures.
[00:46:01] 90 universities from Turkey entered the world
[00:46:04] rankings in at least
[00:46:26] were evaluated in the 2025-2026 World Field Ranking
[00:46:30] prepared by the ODTÜ URAP Research
[00:46:33] Laboratory. Universities were examined based
[00:46:36] on their academic performance over the last 5 years.
[00:46:52] 90 universities from Turkey entered the world rankings
[00:46:55] in at least one scientific field. According to the research,
[00:46:58] Turkish universities ranked in 48 of 78
[00:47:02] scientific fields. The most ranked fields of Turkish
[00:47:05] universities were medicine, health sciences, and engineering
[00:47:08] departments. 82 Turkish universities ranked
[00:47:12] in medicine and health sciences, and 36
[00:47:15] in engineering. 26 in biology, 24
[00:47:19] in technology, 19 in mathematics, 12
[00:47:24] in physics, and 12 universities in materials
[00:47:28] sciences entered the ranking.
[00:47:29] In the world university
[00:47:34] success ranking, Istanbul Technical University ranked
[00:47:37] in 28 scientific fields in Turkey.
[00:47:41] ITU was followed by Hacettepe University, ODTÜ, and
[00:47:44] Yıldız Technical University.
[00:47:50] ITU ranked 73rd in the world in polymer science.
[00:47:53] It ranked 139th in water resources, 141st
[00:47:56] in marine sciences, and 151st in civil engineering.
[00:48:00] ITU also ranked 223rd in artificial intelligence
[00:48:02] and 268th in robotics
[00:48:05] and intelligent systems. Hacettepe University
[00:48:08] ranked 116th in dentistry
[00:48:11] and 129th in pediatrics. ODTÜ ranked 253rd
[00:48:14] in the world in energy and fuel.
[00:48:18] With the opening of schools, families are limiting
[00:48:20] their children's tablet
[00:48:23] and phone use, as they have been exposed to screens for a long time.
[00:48:27] Experts say that parents
[00:48:33] cutting screen time completely can cause
[00:48:36] a digital jetlag effect. They recommend
[00:48:39] a gradual reduction. Almost
[00:48:43] all my summer passed with my phone
[00:48:45] and tablet.
[00:48:47] I even continue to look at my phone
[00:48:51] when I'm sleepy. I give my phone
[00:48:54] in a controlled way for certain
[00:48:58] periods, it causes sleeplessness.
[00:49:01] Schools have opened,
[00:49:03] and a new era has begun
[00:49:07] in phone, tablet, and computer usage.
[00:49:11] So, how should children's sleep patterns
[00:49:14] and digital habits be regulated
[00:49:18] during this process? When schools start
[00:49:21] and families remove digital devices,
[00:49:25] experts state that cutting them off completely can create a digital
[00:49:29] jetlag effect.
[00:49:34] We observe that children experience anger outbursts,
[00:49:38] stress, and even family conflicts.
[00:49:41] We call this digital jetlag. When you completely
[00:49:45] switch off, they inevitably experience a period
[00:49:49] of confusion. Long screen times can also
[00:49:53] disrupt children's sleep patterns. During the summer
[00:49:56] holidays, sleep hours can inevitably change.
[00:49:59] Going to bed at 9 when they used to go
[00:50:03] to bed at 12 at night can cause problems
[00:50:06] with adapting to the biological clock
[00:50:10] and school adjustment. Experts recommend
[00:50:14] a gradual progression when re-establishing
[00:50:16] sleep patterns. A new step has been taken
[00:50:20] in artificial intelligence. A robot school in China
[00:50:23] graduated its first students. Four robots
[00:50:27] graduated after more than 2 months of training.
[00:50:31] They received their diplomas at a ceremony.
[00:50:34] A robot school in China graduated its first students.
[00:50:37] A graduation ceremony was held in Hangzhou
[00:50:41] city. Two guide robots, one inspection robot,
[00:50:45] and one piano-playing
[00:50:48] training lessons. In addition to basic
[00:50:52] skills, robots were also given specialized training
[00:50:56] according to their fields of work.
[00:51:00] Body optimization, positioning, and route
[00:51:03] planning are some of the common lessons for all
[00:51:06] robots. These are covered in general lessons. Specialization
[00:51:10] lessons, on the other hand,
[00:51:16] are specially prepared according to different
[00:51:19] needs and different application scenarios.
[00:51:23] Graduated robots will start their duties
[00:51:26] in various places. Two guide robots
[00:51:30] will work in the China Official Series Archive
[00:51:33] and the robot school. The inspection robot
[00:51:35] will be sent to the production
[00:51:40] workshop. The piano-playing robot will go
[00:51:44] to South Korea for entertainment shows.
[00:51:47] The insurance liability of those who employ
[00:51:51] domestic workers at home varies according
[00:51:54] to the number of days worked. While daily premiums
[00:51:57] are paid for those who work less than
[00:52:01] 10 days a month, the scope expands
[00:52:05] for those who work 10 days or more.
[00:52:08] There are also rules that need to be paid
[00:52:12] attention to for foreign nationals, retirees,
[00:52:15] and relatives. So, what is the responsibility
[00:52:19] of the homeowner in case of a possible
[00:52:22] work accident? Let's look at the answer.
[00:52:25] It is a mandatory practice to get insurance
[00:52:29] for domestic workers, caregivers, and similar
[00:52:31] employees in household
[00:52:35] services. However, this liability varies
[00:52:38] according to the working period. Even if a person
[00:52:42] is a domestic worker, if you employ them
[00:52:45] for less than 10 days,
[00:52:47] you must log in through e-government
[00:52:50] and pay the insurance premium from the household
[00:52:53] services section. "It's not very expensive,
[00:52:57] 22 lira per day. If they work
[00:53:01] less than 10 days as a domestic worker,
[00:53:04] you pay 22 TL. This only covers
[00:53:07] occupational accidents
[00:53:08] and occupational
[00:53:12] diseases. For work of 10 days or more,
[00:53:16] the scope of insurance expands,
[00:53:19] and the employee can benefit from health
[00:53:22] services and retirement rights. For foreign
[00:53:26] domestic workers,
[00:53:27] the 10-day limit
[00:53:32] does not apply. If they are foreign nationals,
[00:53:36] even if they work for one day here,
[00:53:39] you must pay insurance premiums, and here
[00:53:42] it's not 22 lira,
[00:53:46] you must pay long-term insurance premiums.
[00:53:50] The fact that the person called to the house
[00:53:53] as a domestic worker is the employer's
[00:53:56] relative or a retiree does not eliminate
[00:53:59] the insurance liability. processes will be
[00:54:03] a single-stop office model. It will also be activated for technological
[00:54:06] entrepreneurs. It will provide the opportunity to manage
[00:54:10] the establishment and operations of technology-based companies
[00:54:13] and their communication with public institutions,
[00:54:16] eliminating bureaucracy and managing all relationships with institutions
[00:54:20] from a single point and completing the processes.
[00:54:22] The regulations to be implemented will also
[00:54:26] pave the way for foreign technology entrepreneurs
[00:54:28] to establish companies faster in Turkey.
[00:54:31] This may also create an opportunity for foreign
[00:54:35] investors to come to Turkey, establish new ventures, and become
[00:54:38] an investment hub and entrepreneurship hub for foreign investors.
[00:54:42] Here, it will be possible to accelerate company formations and reach
[00:54:46] unicorn status quickly.
[00:54:47] provided.
[00:59:47] of former MIT officer Kaşif Kozinoğlu continues, dear
[00:59:51] viewers. We will discuss the latest details regarding
[00:59:54] the investigation. In the Alihan Kuriş criminal
[00:59:57] organization investigation, an arrest warrant was issued
[01:00:00] for 30 suspects, and trustees were appointed to 23
[01:00:04] companies. We will evaluate it. There are also important
[01:00:07] investigations in the capital markets. In the fund investigation,
[01:00:10] the scope of the financial review has been expanded.
[01:00:14] The international illegal Forex fraud investigation,
[01:00:17] managed by individuals connected to Israel,
[01:00:20] continues. We will look into it. In the second
[01:00:24] part, we will turn to external affairs. President
[01:00:28] Recep Tayyip Erdoğan went to the United States. Erdoğan
[01:00:31] will address the 81st United Nations General
[01:00:34] Assembly on September 22. We will discuss
[01:00:37] and table this topic.
[01:01:18] New developments have occurred within the scope of the fund
[01:01:21] investigation conducted, dear viewers. Businessperson Nihat
[01:01:24] Kırmızı, who is the chairman of the board of trustees
[01:01:28] of Istanbul Topkapı University and the chairman of the board
[01:01:31] of directors of Doğa Sigorta,
[01:02:12] Ferhat Murat, I would like to get your comment first.
[01:02:15] Yes, the money movements of publicly offered companies
[01:02:17] are being investigated, and it is being looked
[01:02:21] into whether there are transfers abroad.
[01:02:24] Along with this, MASAK is preparing
[01:02:28] a report, and financial
[01:02:30] movements are being examined. What is actually happening
[01:02:34] in terms of fund movements, what are the problem
[01:02:37] areas, what is the current issue? First,
[01:02:41] if you wish, let's give some information to our viewers, let's
[01:02:44] summarize it, and then comment on the latest
[01:02:47] development. Now, essentially,
[01:02:50] there are 2038 funds managed by portfolio
[01:02:54] management companies in Turkey. Out
[01:02:57] of these funds, 131 have been
[01:03:00] liquidated. 131 fund accounts belonging
[01:03:04] to 7 companies, 7 portfolio management companies,
[01:03:08] have been liquidated, and we see the liquidation process,
[01:03:11] but if we try to explain what this actually is
[01:03:14] in a very clear way, what is a fund? Portfolio
[01:03:18] management companies create a pool on behalf of
[01:03:21] their clients, claiming that they manage
[01:03:24] the stock market and finance better. Investors,
[01:03:28] whether small investors or qualified investors, make
[01:03:31] stock purchases of certain companies on the stock
[01:03:34] market through these funds by investing their
[01:03:38] money, and they strive to earn income or profit
[01:03:41] from this. Why are
[01:03:44] we facing this situation? When you ask this question,
[01:03:48] we can say this: some fund companies, of course,
[01:03:51] this will become clearer as a result of the prosecutor's
[01:03:55] in-depth investigation. Because we are facing
[01:03:58] a situation where manipulating
[01:04:00] the stock market, making companies appear
[01:04:04] more valuable than they are, and conducting intense
[01:04:08] buying and selling of shares leads to unbalanced
[01:04:12] prices, a process
[01:04:15] has been initiated by the CMB to eliminate
[01:04:18] these manipulations. Let me give you an example.
[01:04:22] For example, one of the 7 companies
[01:04:25] currently, Terra investment, a company
[01:04:28] within its structure, is being publicly
[01:04:31] offered. Let's not name it since the investigation
[01:04:35] is ongoing, but when we look
[01:04:38] at it, after the public offering, we are faced
[01:04:42] with a value increase of between
[01:04:45] 4,800% and 7,200%, in a very short
[01:04:48] period of time. When we go into the details
[01:04:52] of these companies, for example, Turkish Airlines
[01:04:55] is also a company traded on the stock
[01:04:58] exchange, but it is a company that
[01:05:02] can show you the equivalent of that value,
[01:05:06] with more than 500 planes. However, the fact
[01:05:09] that companies with 130-100 employees face
[01:05:11] an intense valuation after going public currently
[01:05:15] intensifies the question marks. At this point,
[01:05:19] the CMB issued an evaluation,
[01:05:22] or rather, a bulletin, at the end
[01:05:25] of last August, and there it said to
[01:05:28] the fund companies, "Conduct your activities
[01:05:32] in these areas with a certain discipline in the coming
[01:05:36] period." Of course, some fund companies
[01:05:38] defaulting led to a chain
[01:05:42] reaction. This process, which started with
[01:05:44] the detention of Muhammet Yarız, Chairman
[01:05:48] of the Board of Directors of Pusula Portfolio Management,
[01:05:51] then continued with Serdar Turhan, Chairman of the Board
[01:05:54] of Directors of Pusula Holding, and Emre Tezmen,
[01:05:58] Chairman of the Board of
[01:06:00] Directors of Tera Holding. and now it continues with different
[01:06:04] names. There is an interesting development that emerged
[01:06:07] today, of course, the prosecutor's office requested a report
[01:06:10] from MASAK. What was in this report request?
[01:06:13] Yes, a report on the personal bank
[01:06:17] movements of the fund company managers was requested,
[01:06:21] and an interesting point emerged there. It was stated
[01:06:24] in the MASAK reports that Serdar Turhan, Chairman
[01:06:27] of the Board of Directors of Pusula Holding, sent
[01:06:31] 15 million dollars to an account in Switzerland, and Muhammet
[01:06:34] Yarız, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sula
[01:06:37] Portfolio, sent 25 million
[01:06:55] The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office had
[01:06:58] put the unusual rise in company shares after
[01:07:01] the IPO under scrutiny, and there were detentions,
[01:07:04] arrests, and reports requested from
[01:07:08] MASAK during the investigation process. Now, we announced
[01:07:11] the detention news at these hours yesterday. There
[01:07:15] is a new development. An arrest warrant was also
[01:07:18] issued for Nihat Kırmızı. He was detained. Within
[01:07:21] the scope of the fund investigation conducted by the Istanbul
[01:07:25] Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, businessperson
[01:07:29] Nihat Kırmızı, who is the chairman of the board
[01:07:32] of trustees of Istanbul Topkapı University and the
[01:07:35] chairman of the board of directors of Doğa Sigorta, was detained.
[01:07:39] Let's also state that Kırmızı's procedures at the police
[01:07:43] department are continuing within the scope of the investigation.
[01:07:47] As we said, since the beginning of this investigation,
[01:07:50] detention and arrest decisions have come one after
[01:07:54] another. In fact, within the scope of the investigation,
[01:07:57] five more suspects, including the chairmen and managers
[01:08:00] of two holdings, were detained. So far, 4 suspects have
[01:08:04] been arrested, and a travel ban and asset freeze
[01:08:08] were decided for 51 people. Of course,
[01:08:11] the investigation is deepening at the moment. As
[01:08:14] you said, I was also listening to the conversation
[01:08:18] with your guest from that point. The Istanbul
[01:08:21] Chief Public Prosecutor's Office had addressed
[01:08:24] the sudden rise in companies that went public.
[01:08:28] When we look at it, a company worth
[01:08:31] 15 million suddenly rose to 1.3 trillion.
[01:08:34] There were abnormal increases.
[01:08:38] The chief prosecutor also asked about these
[01:08:41] moneys from the names detained and arrested
[01:08:44] within the scope of the investigation. And
[01:08:48] when these moneys were asked, the answers given
[01:08:51] were indeed "abnormal". Let's state that
[01:08:55] the unusual money increase in companies was also
[01:08:58] asked to these individuals one by one. As
[01:09:02] a last-minute development, a new development occurred
[01:09:05] in the fund investigation. Nihat Kırmızı is also
[01:09:07] among the detained names, and his procedures at
[01:09:11] the police department are currently continuing. Let's
[01:09:15] say that the investigation is deepening and expanding.
[01:09:18] While detentions and arrests are taking
[01:09:22] place on one side,
[01:09:25] MASAK is also conducting inspections of accounts
[01:09:29] on the other side. At that point, we can say that
[01:09:33] a comprehensive review of financial transactions
[01:09:36] is currently taking place. So, what will happen
[01:09:40] next in the fund liquidation process? What
[01:09:43] do we expect? Sema Akbulut,
[01:09:46] we said that the scope of the financial review
[01:09:50] in the fund investigation has been expanded,
[01:09:54] because the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's
[01:09:56] Office asked MASAK to prepare a new and urgent
[01:10:00] report. This report was not only for four
[01:10:03] companies, but also for the sub-companies
[01:10:07] under those four companies, and it was specified
[01:10:11] that the identity information of their managers
[01:10:14] should be included, as well as the primary
[01:10:18] relatives of the managers in this MASAK
[01:10:21] report. How? Now, in the letter sent
[01:10:25] to MASAK by the chief prosecutor, the identity
[01:10:29] information of all managers in Pusula Finans Holding,
[01:10:32] Tera Yatırım Menkul Değerler, Hedef Holding, Buls Yatırım
[01:10:35] Menkul, and their sub-companies was requested. The investigation
[01:10:46] and crypto asset transfers made abroad by the identified
[01:10:48] managers since 2024
[01:10:52] are being investigated one by one. It was
[01:10:56] requested that all money inflows and outflows
[01:10:58] be sent to the chief prosecutor's office in raw
[01:11:01] form. Yes, yes.
[01:11:04] Let's also get your comments on the latest
[01:11:07] developments, Ferhat Murat. Now, we were actually
[01:11:10] explaining that, and our reporter
[01:11:14] gave comprehensive information. Here, it is being
[01:11:17] looked into whether some companies, some portfolio
[01:11:20] management companies, have directed the money
[01:11:24] in their portfolios and pools to the companies
[01:11:28] they publicly offered, leaving their values
[01:11:31] at a much higher valuation than their
[01:11:35] book value, which is the real value
[01:11:39] of the company. This is important. I gave
[01:11:42] an example earlier. A factoring company
[01:11:46] publicly offered by Tera, a company with
[01:11:50] 100-150 employees, almost reached the
[01:11:53] same value level as Turkish Airlines,
[01:11:56] which has over 500 planes and is a serious
[01:12:00] corporate structure with significant added value.
[01:12:04] This is actually where the question
[01:12:06] marks intensified. For example, I just
[01:12:09] mentioned Pusula Holding, and I mentioned that
[01:12:13] its chairman of the board of directors sent
[01:12:17] 15 million dollars to Switzerland, and Muhammet
[01:12:20] Yarız, chairman of the board of directors of
[01:12:24] Pusula Portfolio Management, sent 25 million
[01:12:27] euros to Switzerland. For example,
[01:12:31] Pusula's managed money amount as
[01:12:34] of now, after the CMB regulation of
[01:12:37] August 28th, is 64 billion lira.
[01:12:39] So, this is a large amount. When you
[01:12:43] focus such large amounts on publicly offered
[01:12:46] companies, it is inevitably evaluated that this
[01:12:49] creates an environment of manipulation, where
[01:12:53] there is intense focus on their own shares
[01:12:57] and heavy investment in affiliated companies.
[01:13:00] It is also evaluated that they create
[01:13:03] manipulation by focusing on low-float shares.
[01:13:07] Here, of course, there is also the
[01:13:10] question of whether these individuals, the
[01:13:14] chairmen of the board of directors, will flee
[01:13:17] abroad after sending their money abroad.
[01:13:20] Because this brings with it a chaotic
[01:13:23] environment in the sector and the stock
[01:13:27] market, which is really problematic. Therefore,
[01:13:29] we have seen a process where those who do
[01:13:33] not invest in stock market shares through
[01:13:37] funds are also clearly affected. However,
[01:13:41] we can say that the CMB took very
[01:13:44] quick action to prevent investors from being
[01:13:47] victimized. They have been asking this question a lot for a few
[01:13:51] days, especially on the streets,
[01:13:55] this issue concerns a large number of investors,
[01:13:59] and everyone is trying to ask the questions
[01:14:03] on their minds, as we try to explain on television screens.
[01:14:06] Therefore, the CMB
[01:14:10] appointed two banks on Friday and
[01:14:13] Monday, one is İşbank, and the other is
[01:14:16] Ziraat Bank, a state bank. These banks are making
[01:14:20] these evaluations and working hard to ensure
[01:14:24] that our citizens who have money in funds
[01:14:27] suffer the least possible damage. After these
[01:14:31] determinations are made during two business
[01:14:33] days, it will be looked into whether these
[01:14:37] funds have state debts or loan debts. If
[01:14:41] there are such debts, after these debts are
[01:14:44] paid from the funds, they will be minimized
[01:14:47] in terms of value loss, and perhaps some
[01:14:51] funds will not lose value at all.
[01:14:54] It is aimed to complete these payments within
[01:14:58] the next 10-15 days. This part is important.
[01:15:02] Although there is a 3-month period on paper,
[01:15:05] the information I have obtained is that
[01:15:08] this will not be left for 3 months,
[01:15:12] and people's investments and money will be transferred to their
[01:15:16] accounts within the next 15-day period,
[01:15:19] because there are indeed our citizens who have
[01:15:23] entrusted their very small savings to such
[01:15:27] companies in the hope that they will appreciate.
[01:15:31] It is important for them to get their
[01:15:34] money back quickly. Here, a very important
[01:15:38] point is also that two companies, Katılım
[01:15:40] Evim and Bir Evim, were under the umbrella
[01:15:43] of these portfolio management companies. There are
[01:15:47] our citizens who applied to buy a house or
[01:15:50] a car from there. The question is what
[01:15:54] will happen to their savings invested there.
[01:15:57] Let's separate the stock market investor from the
[01:16:00] fund investor. For our citizens who turned
[01:16:04] to these companies to buy a house or a
[01:16:07] car, due to their interest sensitivity
[01:16:11] or to avoid high interest rates, our
[01:16:25] is a very important note. You emphasized
[01:16:28] this point regarding Katılım Evim and Bir
[01:16:32] Evim. Thank you. Now, let's summarize and bring up the
[01:16:35] information screen. Dear viewers, let's
[01:16:38] go over it to summarize the situation.
[01:16:42] What is the latest situation in the fund
[01:16:45] market? Let's give you the answer immediately.
[01:16:49] The fluctuations in the markets were caused
[01:16:52] by a limited number of funds. Dear viewers,
[01:16:55] fast and strong measures were taken
[01:16:58] to prevent the spread of risk. The measures
[01:17:02] taken are considered sufficient at this
[01:17:05] stage. There is no widespread systemic
[01:17:07] risk. There are no structural problems
[01:17:11] in the stock market and fund market.
[01:17:14] There is a 3-month roadmap for the
[01:17:17] liquidation process. 10% of the fund
[01:17:20] market has been quarantined. The process is healthy
[01:17:23] in the remaining 90% of the market,
[01:17:26] dear viewers. The CMB clarified the
[01:17:30] liquidation and payment process of the funds.
[01:17:33] 131 funds in seven portfolio companies will
[01:17:36] be liquidated. Banks will be authorized
[01:17:40] in the liquidation process of the funds. Investors
[01:17:43] will receive their cash in proportion to their
[01:17:47] shareholding in the funds. Let's continue.
[01:17:50] How will fund payments be made? This is
[01:17:53] a very important question mark, a question
[01:17:56] that closely concerns the public. Let's give the answer immediately.
[01:18:00] Investors who place a sell order will be
[01:18:04] prioritized. Instructions given after 1:30 PM on September 17th
[01:18:07] will be evaluated
[01:18:19] what needs to be paid attention to
[01:18:22] here is that the supervisory board, the CMB,
[01:18:26] quickly put into action many mechanisms,
[01:18:29] such as identifying a situation that
[01:18:33] could grow much larger and cause much more
[01:18:37] damage in the future, taking precautions,
[01:18:40] and after determining everything after the
[01:18:43] audit processes, what kind of sanctions
[01:18:46] will be applied, what kind of punitive
[01:18:50] measures will be applied, the legal aspect
[01:18:54] of this process from now on, or the
[01:18:57] part where the damage of the affected citizen
[01:19:01] is not compensated, or what kind of measures
[01:19:04] can be taken. I think this is
[01:19:08] the most important point, because everyone, as
[01:19:12] Mr. Ferhat said, is trying to learn
[01:19:15] how those who are damaged by this
[01:19:19] business can be compensated, what risks might
[01:19:23] come upon us from here, and how the
[01:19:25] returns will be. However, the issue
[01:19:29] of stock market manipulation is not a new issue.
[01:19:32] It is an issue that exists all
[01:19:36] is involved in doing in all major stock markets.
[01:19:39] There are different calendars, but here, of course,
[01:19:43] it is perhaps too early for this mechanism
[01:19:46] to be working, for the system to be continuing, especially
[01:19:50] the emphasis on the fact that 90% of it is not a structural
[01:19:53] problem, which might be reassuring for those
[01:19:57] who might lose money and have already lost
[01:20:01] money from this system, as to how they can
[01:20:04] get their savings or investments back. But of course,
[01:20:08] stock market manipulation not only affects citizens
[01:20:12] but also the entire system, shakes trust, and
[01:20:15] can cause great damage to the entire economic
[01:20:19] system, and if it is not brought under control
[01:20:23] and noticed, it could lead to even greater damage. There
[01:20:26] are also talks of international connections, and these will
[01:20:30] surely be investigated. New developments are emerging, but
[01:20:34] since the matter can lead to very different places,
[01:20:48] Forex fraud, ladies and gentlemen. The investigation
[01:20:51] into international illegal Forex fraud, managed
[01:20:54] by individuals linked to Israel, continues. The
[01:20:57] statements of 203 suspects, including
[01:21:00] 11 Israeli citizens and 47 foreign
[01:21:03] nationals, who were detained, are being taken. Dear
[01:21:06] viewers, according to the initial statements of the suspects,
[01:21:10] the company, which officially belonged to a Turk, was
[01:21:14] actually owned by Israeli citizens. Also, according
[01:21:18] to the statements, the Israeli boss's driver
[01:21:21] carried money in a car and a safe. The information
[01:21:31] Forex fraud investigation, launched after hundreds
[01:21:34] of victims applied, is deepening. In the investigation,
[01:21:38] conducted under the coordination of the Istanbul Chief Public
[01:21:41] Prosecutor's Office, the police, and MASAK, new
[01:21:45] information and statements from suspects have emerged.
[01:21:49] According to the statements, the company involved in the
[01:21:52] fraud was officially owned by a Turk, but was actually
[01:21:55] owned by Israeli citizens. In fact, speaking Turkish
[01:21:58] was forbidden in the company except in the kitchen.
[01:22:02] The actual owner of Facto company was Israeli
[01:22:05] Emit Yegal. The official boss was Ilhami. Maksim
[01:22:09] Verzilov was the second biggest boss after Yegal.
[01:22:12] An Azerbaijani named Tural was among the managers
[01:22:16] at the boss level. The information of people to be
[01:22:19] defrauded was bought and then directed to call centers.
[01:22:23] Personnel speaking different languages worked for many
[01:22:26] countries around the world. It is also alleged that money
[01:22:29] was transported in safes in the fraud company. Emit
[01:22:33] Yegal's private driver brought large amounts
[01:22:37] of cash in a car and a safe.
[01:22:43] In Facto, my salary was deposited into my
[01:22:46] bank account. The data obtained in the investigation,
[01:22:50] suspicious statements, MASAK data, and seized digital
[01:22:53] materials are being examined together. Money transfers,
[01:22:57] the hierarchical connection
[01:22:59] between foreign managers, and the roles of Israel-linked
[01:23:03] individuals in the companies are also under scrutiny.
[01:23:06] So far, 203 suspects have been detained within
[01:23:09] the scope of the investigation. It was determined that
[01:23:13] among the 47 suspects
[01:23:15] from 20 countries, 11
[01:23:19] were Israeli citizens. Assets worth 1.5 billion TL,
[01:23:22] including 80 vehicles and 12 properties, alleged
[01:23:26] to be criminal proceeds, were seized. Yes,
[01:23:29] let's look at the Forex fraud issue a bit more.
[01:23:32] There are international connections, and there's
[01:23:36] also the espionage issue. But first, let's try
[01:23:39] to understand what this issue is, and then we'll comment on the latest
[01:23:43] developments. Many of our viewers may have heard
[01:23:47] of Forex, Forex investing, etc. phonetically. What
[01:23:50] is Forex? Foreign exchange. In other words, you entrust
[01:23:54] your investment to a company, a bank. I'll explain
[01:23:57] that in a bit. That bank tries to increase
[01:24:00] your earnings by buying or selling different
[01:24:03] currencies around the world. For example, by predicting
[01:24:07] that the Japanese Yen will rise, and when it
[01:24:10] reaches its peak, it can be switched to Chinese
[01:24:14] Yuan, or American Dollars or Euros can be bought
[01:24:17] and sold. Who can do this, Ms. Betül? The Central
[01:24:20] Bank, banks, and companies approved by
[01:24:24] the BRSA should carry out these transactions.
[01:24:27] Now, the issue here, as our friends have written, is illegal
[01:24:32] Forex fraud. It's illegal
[01:24:35] fraud. In an illegal way,
[01:24:38] without having this license, without having this
[01:24:42] authority, they ask people to direct their savings and
[01:24:45] investments to them with the promise of
[01:24:49] making a profit. They do this through call
[01:24:52] centers. Of course, one of the interesting
[01:24:56] things here is that even though the owner
[01:24:59] of this company was officially Turkish, its
[01:25:02] managers were actually Israeli. In fact,
[01:25:06] according to the information we obtained from the operation
[01:25:09] carried out by the Prosecutor's Office, it was stated
[01:25:12] that speaking Turkish was forbidden inside
[01:25:16] the office, and that Hebrew should be spoken.
[01:25:20] This is also among the information. Here, of
[01:25:23] course, when Israel
[01:25:27] business illegally in Turkey, we also see this
[01:25:30] very clearly: people, of course, perhaps with
[01:25:34] the hope of making a profit, can also convey a lot
[01:25:37] of their information to these companies through
[01:25:41] call center employees. Therefore, perhaps in the
[01:25:44] coming period, as you said, the espionage dimension
[01:25:48] of this matter may also emerge. But here, an
[01:25:51] important operation was carried out against a method
[01:25:53] that is already illegal and covets people's money,
[01:25:57] and also allows their personal data to meet with them.
[01:26:00] I must state that. A significant blow was indeed
[01:26:03] dealt to those who covet our people's money, earnings,
[01:26:07] and information, through these companies and similar
[01:26:10] methods. While a serious blow is dealt to our people's economic gains,
[01:26:14] personal information is also obtained through
[01:26:17] these companies and similar companies, and different
[01:26:20] avenues of fraud may be pursued through these.
[01:26:24] As you know, even if not through Forex, after
[01:26:28] personal information is leaked, fraud is resorted to
[01:26:31] at different points, and people are defrauded as
[01:26:35] if they were government officials, prosecutors,
[01:26:38] judges, or police officers, by calling them and
[01:26:42] causing them to lose their savings, which they
[01:26:45] have worked for years to accumulate.
[01:26:48] Therefore, attention must be paid
[01:26:51] to this. I think these operations are
[01:26:55] important in this context. Indeed, it is important
[01:26:59] that the necessary procedures are carried
[01:27:03] out for everyone who covets our citizens'
[01:27:06] money, earnings, and information. It is
[01:27:09] interesting that such companies operate in
[01:27:12] Istanbul or Turkey in a closed circuit.
[01:27:15] For example, it is an interesting detail that
[01:27:19] all companies operating in Turkey are required
[01:27:23] to pay their employees' salaries through a bank,
[01:27:26] but this company strangely pays in cash.
[01:27:29] In other words, it actually reveals an informal
[01:27:33] working arrangement. Of course, here, perhaps
[01:27:37] the money of our citizens will be revealed as a
[01:27:39] result of a deep investigation by the prosecutor's
[01:27:43] office, but it is also possible that it may
[01:27:46] be used in crimes. Therefore, we need
[01:27:50] to be very careful. These kinds of transactions
[01:27:53] should be carried out with reliable sources.
[01:27:57] Whether it's Forex or funds and similar
[01:28:00] processes, it is very important for our citizens
[01:28:04] that these are carried out and controlled through
[01:28:07] our state's banks, our state's institutions,
[01:28:11] and companies authorized by our state. Yes,
[01:28:20] should have been handled with meticulous
[01:28:23] care and sensitivity were not given
[01:28:27] enough attention, and some things were
[01:28:30] quickly taken care of, perhaps in an
[01:28:34] attempt to close the process. Of course, as a citizen,
[01:28:38] I wonder why this happened, and
[01:28:42] why many suspicious situations, such as
[01:28:45] the cup washing incident, were not
[01:28:48] dealt with as they should have
[01:28:52] been. journalist Osman Arslan,
[01:28:55] ambulance driver Süleyman Kaba, then-Prison Director
[01:28:59] Ömer Vatan, and then-Shift Supervisor Kazım Beyke
[01:29:03] were detained. The ambulance driver was released
[01:29:06] after his statement to the police, considering
[01:29:09] the current evidence. The other three suspects
[01:29:13] in custody are expected to be sent to the
[01:29:16] courthouse after their statements are taken.
[01:29:19] Previously, 6 suspects were arrested within
[01:29:22] the scope of the investigation. Among those arrested
[01:29:25] were Ali İşgören, the then-Chief Public Prosecutor
[01:29:29] of Silivri, who was expelled from his
[01:29:33] profession due to FETÖ membership, and former
[01:29:37] Prison Prosecutor Necep Doğan. Now, let's
[01:29:39] elaborate a bit more on the information screen. There are those who
[01:29:43] are arrested and those who are under house
[01:29:47] arrest. Two arrests and two house arrests
[01:29:50] stand out. Especially Hasan Atilla Uğur
[01:29:54] was Kozinoğlu's cellmate, a retired colonel.
[01:29:57] Kaşif Kozinoğlu's cellmate. Yes. And he
[01:30:01] is currently under house arrest. İşgören
[01:30:04] was serving as the Silivri Chief Public Prosecutor
[01:30:08] at the time of the incident. He is currently arrested.
[01:30:11] The prosecutor who issued a non-prosecution decision
[01:30:15] for Kozinoğlu's death. And the interesting
[01:30:18] thing is that he was expelled from his
[01:30:20] profession within the scope of FETÖ investigations.
[01:30:24] After this incident, which took place
[01:30:28] in 2011. Yes, Necip Doğan was
[01:30:30] the Prison Prosecutor at the time of the incident.
[01:30:34] He was the prosecutor who participated in
[01:30:37] the crime scene investigation of Kaşif Kozinoğlu. And similarly, Doğan
[01:30:41] was also expelled from his profession within
[01:30:45] the scope of FETÖ investigations. He is currently arrested.
[01:30:48] Kozinoğlu's cellmate, retired Navy Captain
[01:30:51] Hasan Ataman Yıldırım, who is under house
[01:30:55] arrest, should also be noted. I want
[01:30:58] to ask you, Ferhat Murat, about the latest
[01:31:01] developments. The circle is expanding. Especially
[01:31:05] after these two arrests and two house arrest
[01:31:08] decisions, as we reported in the news, many
[01:31:11] people, such as the ambulance driver and
[01:31:14] the prison director, are included in the investigation.
[01:31:18] How do you evaluate the process? Of course,
[01:31:21] Kozinoğlu's death indeed harbored very serious
[01:31:24] question marks, and an investigation was launched
[01:31:28] after his death. However, the investigation
[01:31:32] was closed with a non-prosecution decision.
[01:31:35] With the lifting of this non-prosecution
[01:31:38] decision on August 26, 2026, and the establishment
[01:31:42] of the Department of Unsolved Crimes by Justice Minister
[01:31:46] Akın Gülle, this led to the reopening
[01:31:49] of these cold cases or highly suspicious cases. In this context,
[01:31:53] we are actually faced with a situation where
[01:31:56] Kozinoğlu's death, which was believed to be
[01:31:59] shrouded in mystery, makes us feel much
[01:32:02] more strongly that he did not lose
[01:32:06] his life in an ordinary, normal way, when
[01:32:09] we look at the many pieces of information
[01:32:13] that have emerged. Now, first of all, Kozinoğlu
[01:32:16] pressed the emergency button when he
[01:32:20] felt ill in prison. Hmm. 20 minutes
[01:32:24] after the emergency button was pressed,
[01:32:27] the officials arrived at the ward. It
[01:32:31] is alleged that the prison officials increased
[01:32:34] the volume of the radio broadcast inside
[01:32:37] the prison so that the sound of the
[01:32:41] emergency button would not be heard. In
[01:32:44] addition to this,
[01:32:46] it was stated that there was an ambulance
[01:32:50] change while going from the prison to the hospital.
[01:32:53] This is also information that emerged from the statements.
[01:32:57] And in addition to this, the fact that
[01:33:00] the warden fled abroad after the July 15
[01:33:03] coup attempt, that he was a FETÖ
[01:33:06] affiliate, that the Silivri Chief Public
[01:33:10] Prosecutor was expelled from his profession
[01:33:12] due to FETÖ membership, and that the Prison
[01:33:16] Chief Prosecutor, Necip Doğan, as we just
[01:33:18] mentioned, was also expelled due to FETÖ
[01:33:22] membership, actually deepens the suspicions
[01:33:25] even further. Another thing that deepens these
[01:33:28] suspicions is the most-watched TV series of that
[01:33:31] period, Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu. Here, 3 days
[01:33:35] before his death, in episode 136,
[01:33:38] a character named Kazım Kaşifoğlu, who represented
[01:33:41] Kaşif Kozinoğlu, and who also played a
[01:33:46] it is alleged that this character was
[01:33:49] a target, and 3 days after the order
[01:33:52] to execute that character was given,
[01:33:55] we are faced with Kozinoğlu's death. It
[01:33:59] is a suspicious death. Of course, when
[01:34:02] the investigations are deepened, when the camera
[01:34:05] recordings and the information of that
[01:34:09] day are re-examined, perhaps healthy hands,
[01:34:13] as I just mentioned,
[01:34:15] the prosecutors of the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office at
[01:34:19] that time were members of FETÖ. We can
[01:34:22] talk about the most up-to-date images if
[01:34:25] you wish. What happened in Kaşif Kozinoğlu's
[01:34:29] ward after he drank coffee after
[01:34:32] sports? This is important to understand.
[01:34:36] He has two cellmates. We just mentioned their
[01:34:39] names. We see a lot of activity
[01:34:43] here with Kaşif Kozinoğlu. Let's hear from
[01:34:46] you what happened. One of the interesting
[01:34:50] points here is that when we entered the
[01:34:53] ward, his cellmate, Hasan Atilla Uğur,
[01:34:57] who also served as the Deputy Head
[01:34:59] of Gendarmerie Intelligence, and who is also
[01:35:02] Oğuzhan Uğur's father, it is stated that
[01:35:06] Kozinoğlu asked for a sublingual pill that
[01:35:10] he had, and that he gave it to him.
[01:35:13] However, when asked, he says, "Yes, I took
[01:35:16] it, but I don't remember where I got
[01:35:20] it from." Yes, this is a suspicious
[01:35:22] situation that raises questions for the
[01:35:26] prosecutors. Another interesting point here, Ms. Betül,
[01:35:29] is this: Let's say we are in this studio,
[01:35:33] four of us. God forbid, if one
[01:35:36] of us dies, what does the prosecutor's
[01:35:40] office do? First, if there is no one
[01:35:44] else, they take the other three into custody
[01:35:47] if necessary, and ensure that the question marks
[01:35:50] and veil of secrecy are completely clarified.
[01:35:54] Yes, but this was not done. For example, I just mentioned the
[01:35:57] Silivri Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and
[01:36:01] the Prison Chief Prosecutor's Office. Yes,
[01:36:04] the prosecutors are currently arrested for that
[01:36:08] reason. While it is clear that the
[01:36:11] prosecutors were members of FETÖ, they
[01:36:15] are actually held accountable for how
[01:36:18] they revealed such grave negligence or
[01:36:21] deliberately malicious moves. While the cellmates
[01:36:24] and all the personnel there should have been
[01:36:28] thoroughly questioned, we were faced with
[01:36:32] a hasty non-prosecution decision. This was
[01:36:35] very important. Now let's try to understand
[01:36:39] the activity here. What's happening here? Now,
[01:36:41] Kozinoğlu, who was a truly remarkable person,
[01:36:45] started his military service in 1980.
[01:36:48] His life was spent both on military
[01:36:52] fronts and, after his retirement, on
[01:36:54] intelligence fronts. He carried out important
[01:36:58] work on behalf of our state in every
[01:37:01] region imaginable, including the Balkans, Central
[01:37:05] Asia, and Afghanistan. He was appointed as
[01:37:08] a chief advisor to the Central Asia
[01:37:12] coordinator by Hakan Fidan, who was
[01:37:15] the head of MİT at the time. Now,
[01:37:19] we also need to understand this: 2 or
[01:37:22] 2.5 months after
[01:37:23] Kozinoğlu died, we
[01:37:26] faced the February 7th MİT crisis.
[01:37:30] Actually, the issue that the prosecutor's
[01:37:33] office is currently suspicious of is that FETÖ
[01:37:35] caused Kozinoğlu's death not by natural
[01:37:38] causes, but by assassination. As you
[01:37:42] know, intelligence agencies, intelligence organizations,
[01:37:45] can use certain chemicals to trigger
[01:37:49] a heart attack by administering them in
[01:37:52] doses over a certain
[01:37:54] period. Here, it
[01:37:56] is stated that he fell ill after sports,
[01:38:00] and that his cellmates pressed the emergency
[01:38:03] button, but that the officials arrived
[01:38:06] 20 minutes later. Yes, here is Kozinoğlu's room.
[01:38:10] While Kozinoğlu is being taken to the
[01:38:13] hospital by ambulance, his room is entered
[01:38:17] and exited. Afterwards, his friend washes
[01:38:20] the coffee cup he drank from. His
[01:38:24] cellmate is also from a military
[01:38:27] background, so he knows very well
[01:38:30] that the cup should not be washed. But
[01:38:33] why are they washing it? The prosecutor also asks this
[01:38:37] question today, but he cannot get an
[01:38:40] answer. Conflicting answers. This is a very
[01:38:44] important point. I'm sorry. He has
[01:38:47] an object in his hand. Uğur is asked
[01:38:51] what this object was, but he cannot
[01:38:54] answer. He says he doesn't remember.
[01:38:57] There are many question marks. Now,
[01:39:01] first of all, you are in a
[01:39:04] three-person ward.
[01:39:06] One of your friends,
[01:39:08] who is also your colleague, as
[01:39:12] Kozinoğlu was from a military background, tells
[01:39:15] you to come with
[01:39:19] him while he is on the stretcher.
[01:39:23] It is stated in the statements that
[01:39:26] Hasan Atilla Uğur went as far as
[01:39:30] he could. And after your cellmate,
[01:39:33] who is likely to die, or who
[01:39:37] is rushed to the hospital in an emergency, is taken to the
[01:39:40] hospital, is the first thing you
[01:39:44] do to wash the cup? I mean,
[01:39:48] let's think normally. Think of yourself as
[01:39:50] any human being. Even if you
[01:39:54] don't have the sensitivity to preserve the evidence
[01:39:58] you mentioned, you wouldn't go and
[01:40:01] wash the cup. You wouldn't face
[01:40:04] this situation as a result of an
[01:40:07] anxious wait. That's the first thing.
[01:40:10] Secondly, as you said, you were
[01:40:13] the deputy head of intelligence. If
[01:40:16] there is a suspicious death, and Kozinoğlu
[01:40:19] repeatedly told his cellmates... I'm
[01:40:22] sorry, the light was turned off.
[01:40:25] For example, why was it turned off?
[01:40:29] What was done after it was turned off?
[01:40:33] It was turned off. In other words,
[01:40:37] Kozinoğlu repeatedly told his cellmates, referring to FETÖ, "They
[01:40:40] will kill me." Considering this, and
[01:40:44] the fact that the lights were turned
[01:40:47] off, the cups were washed, and
[01:40:51] he said, "I don't remember where I gave
[01:40:54] the pill from, I don't remember how
[01:40:58] I gave it," we can say that
[01:41:02] these statements are indeed out of the
[01:41:05] ordinary course of life. At least the prosecutor's
[01:41:09] office thinks and evaluates it this
[01:41:13] way. Behind this process, of course,
[01:41:16] is the information that Kozinoğlu would
[01:41:20] explain all of FETÖ's organization in Central
[01:41:24] Asia in his statement 10 days later,
[01:41:28] or rather, in his defense at the
[01:41:31] court. And as I just said, when
[01:41:35] there was also an aim to reach
[01:41:38] Hakan Fidan, the then-MİT Undersecretary,
[01:41:41] after Kozinoğlu, you know, on that
[01:41:45] day, Turkey turned from a very
[01:41:49] important corner due to President Recep
[01:41:53] Tayyip Erdoğan, who was then Prime Minister,
[01:41:56] entering the operation
[01:42:07] late. And because
[01:42:15] important institution of our state, like
[01:42:17] MİT, we may have faced these situations.
[01:42:21] I believe that these veils of
[01:42:24] mystery will be clarified in the
[01:42:27] not-too-distant future. A final detail
[01:42:30] about Kozinoğlu, perhaps for viewers who
[01:42:34] don't know: while Kozinoğlu was serving
[01:42:38] in Afghanistan, he found a high-ranking
[01:42:41] American military officer, who was also
[01:42:44] a CIA agent, whom the United
[01:42:47] States could not locate. The information
[01:42:50] reached Kozinoğlu, or rather, our intelligence
[01:42:54] agency, and Kozinoğlu found this high-ranking
[01:42:58] officer as if he had put his
[01:43:02] hand on him, there are those
[01:43:05] who were detained, and there are those
[01:43:09] who were placed under house arrest.
[01:43:12] We are discussing many details. What
[01:43:15] is your comment? Honestly, it's an
[01:43:19] incident from many years ago and
[01:43:23] everyone is wondering why it was covered up so hastily
[01:43:26] and decisions were made suddenly. Everyone is curious,
[01:43:29] frankly, to go back and investigate all this evidence
[01:43:32] and the connection of the situation with FETÖ, especially
[01:43:35] as the damage caused by the FETÖ Terrorist Organization
[01:43:39] becomes much more visible year by year. It is important
[01:43:42] to reveal how far its branches and roots
[01:43:45] extend. It is quite significant
[01:43:49] because he is a civil servant
[01:43:53] who served for years, participated in many operations,
[01:43:57] was in many difficult environments, and made many sacrifices.
[01:44:00] But the point you have reached at the end is
[01:44:03] a very suspicious process. Of course, everyone has questions,
[01:44:07] but in the current ongoing process,
[01:44:10] many answers regarding the past have not been found.
[01:44:14] Many cases related to FETÖ in the past have been covered up,
[01:44:18] not investigated, ignored in some way
[01:44:20] due to FETÖ connections, or their evidence was concealed.
[01:44:24] We see that many such situations are now
[01:44:28] being brought up again and that
[01:44:31] many of them are being clarified. Besides this, many unsolved
[01:44:35] cases will also clear up the question marks in everyone's mind.
[01:44:38] Now,
[01:45:01] developments regarding the financial situation.
[01:45:04] As you know, previously,
[01:45:07] many developments occurred regarding the suspicious
[01:45:10] death of Arif Emire Denizolgun, the former leader of the Süleymanlılar group.
[01:45:14] Let's see what stage
[01:45:16] the investigation is at now, dear viewers.
[01:45:19] In the Alihan Kuriş criminal organization
[01:45:23] investigation, evidence was found
[01:45:26] that cash was hidden in aid shipments
[01:45:29] and sent abroad. Based on new evidence,
[01:45:32] arrest warrants were issued for 30 suspects.
[01:45:36] Trustees were appointed
[01:45:40] The testimonies of witnesses also drew attention
[01:45:43] in the investigation.
[01:45:52] Undeclared money transfers were made through logistics companies
[01:45:56] and couriers. In the investigation into the Alihan Kuriş criminal organization,
[01:46:00] new evidence was found regarding the organization's money traffic.
[01:46:04] In the investigation conducted by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office,
[01:46:07] arrest warrants were issued for 30 suspects.
[01:46:10] It was decided
[01:46:11] to appoint trustees to 23 companies.
[01:46:15] It was determined that individuals and companies
[01:46:17] believed to be connected to the organization organized money and asset movements
[01:46:21] and facilitated undeclared transfers. It was understood
[01:46:24] that the suspects were involved in activities aimed at laundering
[01:46:28] income believed to be obtained from crime.
[01:46:29] anlaşıldı.
[01:46:33] The methods used in money transfers were also reflected in the file.
[01:46:37] Evidence was obtained that cash was hidden
[01:46:40] in aid shipments sent abroad. It was determined
[01:46:43] that a significant portion of some money transfers
[01:46:47] was carried out undeclared through online payment systems,
[01:46:50] logistics companies, and couriers. It was determined
[01:46:54] that some individuals and companies provided consulting services
[01:46:57] to make these transactions
[01:46:58] appear legal.
[01:47:03] The testimonies of three witnesses also drew attention in the investigation.
[01:47:06] Witnesses stated that pressure was exerted to vote for the CHP
[01:47:13] during election periods, and that those who opposed were not allowed into dormitories, mosques, and social facilities.
[01:47:15] ettiler.
[01:47:18] Yes, dear viewers, a new operation
[01:47:22] has been launched within the scope
[01:47:25] of the Alihan Kuriş criminal organization investigation. Let's put that as the title
[01:47:29] and elaborate on it. The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office
[01:47:32] reached new evidence. Arrest warrants were issued
[01:47:36] for 29 suspects. Trustees were appointed to 23 companies.
[01:47:40] Yes, we continue.
[01:47:44] The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office reached new evidence
[01:47:47] regarding money traffic. Activities aimed at laundering
[01:47:50] income obtained from crime were detected.
[01:47:54] It was determined that individuals and companies
[01:47:58] connected to the organization organized money and assets.
[01:48:01] It was revealed that they facilitated
[01:48:04] undeclared money transfers. The methods used
[01:48:08] in money transfers were reflected in the file, sir.
[01:48:10] efendim.
[01:48:14] It was revealed that cash was hidden
[01:48:17] in aid sent abroad. It was determined
[01:48:21] that logistics companies and couriers were used
[01:48:24] in the transfers. It was reported
[01:48:27] that a large portion of money transfers was made using this method.
[01:48:31] It was determined that consulting services
[01:48:33] were received to make these transactions
[01:48:37] appear legal, dear viewers. What is
[01:48:40] the latest situation in the Kuriş criminal organization investigation?
[01:48:43] So far,
[01:48:47] legal action has been taken against 161 suspects.
[01:48:50] 80 suspects were arrested. Judicial control orders
[01:48:53] were issued against 22 suspects. As a result of the work carried out,
[01:48:57] trustees were appointed to 74 companies.
[01:49:00] Yes, Ferhat Murat, we are talking about a very
[01:49:04] broad investigation, but at the stage reached,
[01:49:07] there are significant developments especially regarding
[01:49:10] the money traffic and so on. We know that previously,
[01:49:14] the general headquarters of the formation,
[01:49:18] the central building, was moved abroad.
[01:49:22] A very magnificent building was built in Cologne, Germany,
[01:49:25] for 70 million. In this process,
[01:49:28] there were also reports and predictions
[01:49:32] that they made many moves to take this financial table abroad.
[01:49:35] Now these are coming true. How would you comment on this?
[01:49:38] Now, of course, today's operation
[01:49:42] is the 4th wave of operations. What had we seen before?
[01:49:45] We had seen the arrest of the organization leader Alihan Kuriş.
[01:49:48] Afterwards, we saw that Alihan Kuriş's brother, Süleyman Hilmi Kuriş,
[01:49:51] was caught while trying to escape
[01:49:54] as a fugitive. And he was caught
[01:49:57] in a vehicle allocated to former Interior Minister
[01:50:01] İdris Naim Şahin. In the search
[01:50:04] conducted in the company
[01:50:07] where he was on the board of directors, 206 kilograms of gold ingots, over 350 thousand dollars
[01:50:11] in cash, and over 150,000 dollars in cash were seized.
[01:50:15] This is a significant amount. As you just mentioned, a huge center
[01:50:19] worth 70 million was built in Cologne, Germany,
[01:50:23] which is already known to everyone. Now, the points
[01:50:27] that are actually coming true here are that, yes,
[01:50:30] money was placed in boxes appearing
[01:50:34] as aid packages or essential supplies,
[01:50:37] and the investigation is deepening
[01:50:40] into the possibility of these funds
[01:50:44] being directed outside Turkey,
[01:50:47] to Europe, to Germany. Of course, when you look at it,
[01:50:51] can it be expected that a structure
[01:50:54] that presents itself, in inverted commas, as a religious
[01:50:58] organization would face
[01:51:01] these criminal allegations? Can it be expected
[01:51:04] that it would face accusations such as money laundering
[01:51:07] (black money) of income obtained from crime,
[01:51:11] fraud by harming public institutions, and opposition to the tax procedure law?
[01:51:14] No, it cannot be expected. This is actually
[01:51:18] contrary to the nature of things. Here, we can very clearly
[01:51:22] say that our state does not carry out any operations
[01:51:25] against communities or religious groups.
[01:51:28] I am emphasizing this.
[01:51:40] by wearing this mask.
[01:51:44] It removes these masks from the faces of those
[01:51:46] who wear them. We need to understand this very well.
[01:51:48] Yes, you have made a very good summary
[01:51:55] of a very important issue. We have refreshed our memories again.
[01:51:59] In this context, I think we should also make this note:
[01:52:03] the change of the Süleymanlılar
[01:52:06] Community's leader in 2016
[01:52:08] due to suspicious death.
[01:52:12] In this context, the suspicious death
[01:52:14] of Arif Emre Denizolgu is being investigated
[01:52:18] and researched. It coincides
[01:52:21] exactly with 2016. In 2016,
[01:52:25] Alihan Kuriş and his team
[01:52:28] took over the leadership of the community.
[01:52:32] After this process, we talk about money traffic and so on,
[01:52:36] don't we? There was a shift towards
[01:52:39] corporatization in a way that was
[01:52:42] unprecedented and not in its tradition.
[01:52:45] So, the increase in its economic claims
[01:52:48] by this team and
[01:52:51] at the subsequent stage,
[01:52:56] there are allegations of contacts with foreign
[01:53:00] intelligence agencies and so on. And after the headquarters
[01:53:03] was moved abroad, we are talking about
[01:53:07] allegations that assets and this financial
[01:53:10] table were also taken abroad. So, all
[01:53:13] of this raises the question of whether
[01:53:17] preparations were being made for something. What is your comment,
[01:53:20] Yeliz Albayrak?
[01:53:23] Now, the suspicious death of Ahmet Arif Denizolgu,
[01:53:26] again, an investigation is opened,
[01:53:30] similar to Kozinoğlu's death we just talked about, but that investigation
[01:53:34] is also left unresolved. In fact,
[01:53:37] the finding that one of the doctors
[01:53:40] who performed his autopsy, one of the doctors involved in Denizolgu's autopsy,
[01:53:44] was a Bylock user and a member of FETÖ
[01:53:47] is also a point that further raises
[01:53:50] question marks. As you know, a grave was exhumed,
[01:53:53] and soft tissue samples were taken.
[01:53:57] As a result, it will be revealed whether it was poisoning
[01:54:00] or another cause. But I expect the report
[01:54:04] to be released in a very short time,
[01:54:07] in a few days. On the other hand,
[01:54:11] Denizolgu's death 2 months after the July 15 coup attempt
[01:54:15] and Alihan Kuriş's rapid appointment to lead this structure.
[01:54:18] Denizolgu rejected FETÖ's
[01:54:22] repeated offers of cooperation during
[01:54:25] his leadership. His death
[01:54:28] and then Alihan Kuriş suddenly taking over the structure
[01:54:32] and the increase in economic activity
[01:54:35] are also among the considerations that some businessmen
[01:54:38] or members affiliated with FETÖ
[01:54:41] acted together with this structure
[01:54:45] and used methods to cover their tracks after the July 15 coup attempt.
[01:54:49] What could all of this be a preparation for?
[01:54:53] It could be a preparation for this: Now, we are facing many problems.
[01:54:57] After the July 15 coup attempt, we faced a currency
[01:55:01] coup in 2018. In 2020, our surroundings were a ring of fire
[01:55:04] with the Russia-Ukraine war, and the earthquake. On one hand, we see
[01:55:08] that there is a tendency to harm the determined will of the state
[01:55:12] to fight inflation with market manipulations.
[01:55:16] Now, look, we are facing
[01:55:19] a chain of comprehensive operations, targeting fruits and vegetables,
[01:55:23] poultry, companies of such structures,
[01:55:26] and stock market manipulations. There is indeed a serious
[01:55:30] and comprehensive chain of operations.
[01:55:33] Therefore, there is this preparation here:
[01:55:36] some structures are acting collectively
[01:55:40] with foreign intelligence organizations
[01:55:43] to put the government, elected by the national will,
[01:55:47] in a difficult situation and pressure it,
[01:55:50] and operating in Turkey. Now,
[01:55:53] at this point, I see a serious sensitivity,
[01:55:56] and I openly read that the matter
[01:56:00] is being pursued decisively
[01:56:03] to the end. At this point,
[01:56:06] those who try to present themselves differently,
[01:56:10] such as the Süleymanlılar, but we call them the Kuriş criminal organization,
[01:56:13] or Alparslan Kuytul under the name of Furkan Foundation,
[01:56:17] have different connections,
[01:56:20] and these names present an image
[01:56:23] contrary to a religious structure.
[01:56:27] Their earnings increased significantly
[01:56:30] after taking over these structures.
[01:56:34] After losing its influence,
[01:56:43] there must have been those who gave
[01:56:46] them advice and guidance with this structure.
[01:56:49] Intelligence organizations do this very well,
[01:56:53] like Germany, America, and Mossad. Therefore, the fact
[01:56:57] that this structure moved its center to Europe
[01:57:01] and moved money out of here to do so
[01:57:05] already clearly tells us
[01:57:15] and how do you evaluate the current situation? Frankly,
[01:57:18] this issue seems like it will continue for a long time,
[01:57:21] because there are still many unresolved points,
[01:57:24] and I'm sure there are many more sub-topics to investigate,
[01:57:28] because we are talking about very large sums
[01:57:31] and many companies, and we see that they are
[01:57:35] in different sectors. What does this mean? It means that different
[01:57:39] interest groups come together through large sums of money
[01:57:43] and different means
[01:57:46] to act as they wish when the time comes,
[01:57:49] with many foreign-linked power centers
[01:57:52] or interest groups. Such groups usually
[01:57:56] work together both domestically
[01:57:59] and internationally, possessing both
[01:58:02] capital power and key positions
[01:58:06] they have established. They have the ability
[01:58:09] to use this power when needed.
[01:58:13] They provide the opportunity
[01:58:17] to use the power they hold
[01:58:20] when desired. Of course,
[01:58:23] and use the power they hold who they are with
[01:58:27] and whose interests they serve can also change from time to time.
[01:58:31] They can act together with different interest
[01:58:35] groups at home and abroad.
[01:58:39] However, there are many unresolved questions
[01:58:42] right now, but we can expect
[01:58:45] that it will spread over time,
[01:58:48] and many other surprising connections
[01:58:51] may emerge, even much larger sums. Some intelligence
[01:58:55] services are being talked about right now,
[01:58:58] and these points may become clearer.
[01:59:01] But, as I said,
[01:59:05] these structures can unfortunately take advantage of
[01:59:08] people's different thoughts, religious feelings, nationalist
[01:59:11] feelings, or all sensitive points,
[01:59:15] to somehow take money from citizens' pockets
[01:59:18] and gain their support, but then use it for very different
[01:59:22] things at very different times.
[01:59:26] We hope that everyone's question, "Where does it lead,
[01:59:29] what is it connected to," will be answered,
[01:59:33] just like in the previous case. Why were so many things covered up,
[01:59:36] why were so many issues investigated so quickly? In times past,
[01:59:39] there will probably be other murders, other key connections.
[01:59:43] We will, of course, see all of these in detail,
[01:59:53] including how far the connections extend. In our second hour,
[01:59:56] dear viewers, we will now look at the United Nations
[01:59:59] agenda. Next week, the world's eyes will be on the United Nations General
[02:00:03] Assembly meetings. The meetings
[02:00:06] will take place between September 22-28, sir.
[02:00:09] And the theme of the summit is "Rebuilding Trust,
[02:00:12] Managing Transformation: Delivering for All."
[02:00:16] için sonuç veren bir
[02:00:24] to attend the General Assembly discussions
[02:00:28] in the United States, sir. Erdoğan will address
[02:00:32] the United Nations General Assembly
[02:00:35] on September 22. Now let's turn
[02:00:38] our cameras to New York.
[02:00:47] As you know, we will hear about the atmosphere
[02:00:50] there from you. In addition, there are many
[02:00:54] things regarding the agenda topics
[02:00:57] of the UN meetings and the President's contacts.
[02:01:00] We are listening
[02:01:01] to your notes.
[02:01:06] Yes, we are in front of Türkevi. We expect the plane carrying
[02:01:10] President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to land in New York in approximately
[02:01:13] one hour.
[02:01:17] He will come to the Turkish House to continue his contacts
[02:01:20] during his 4-day visit. has hosted
[02:01:24] in New York right now, but let's state that
[02:01:27] many Turkish citizens are also at this point
[02:01:30] to welcome President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. We cannot show Turkish citizens
[02:01:33] from where we are for the broadcast, but let's state that
[02:01:37] a large number of Turkish citizens are here, as every year,
[02:01:40] to welcome President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
[02:01:44] will not have any programs today.
[02:01:47] He will rest after coming to Turkey, but he will start his contacts
[02:01:51] intensively on the sidelines
[02:01:55] of the United Nations General Assembly
[02:01:58] in the United States starting tomorrow.
[02:02:02] Of course, eyes will be on President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's
[02:02:05] speech at the United Nations
[02:02:09] General Assembly on September 22,
[02:02:12] which is Tuesday. The President will address
[02:02:16] the world from the United Nations rostrum for the 16th time.
[02:02:20] What messages will President Erdoğan convey?
[02:02:23] In his 15 previous speeches, the President gave historical
[02:02:26] messages. He gave memorable
[02:02:30] messages from the United Nations rostrum. This time, we expect
[02:02:34] him to give his messages again. The President will convey his
[02:02:37] historic messages from the United Nations General Assembly. In particular,
[02:02:41] we expect the President to once again draw attention
[02:02:44] to the genocidal Israel's genocide in Gaza,
[02:02:47] as he did in previous years. In previous years, President Erdoğan
[02:02:51] brought up Israel's occupation of Palestine
[02:02:54] and its atrocities in Palestine by presenting visuals and photos
[02:02:58] from the United Nations rostrum, addressing the world.
[02:03:02] We expect the President to once again draw attention
[02:03:05] to the genocide and occupation in Palestine
[02:03:09] during his speech on Tuesday, September 22.
[02:03:12] Besides this, from the US-Iran crisis to the Russia-Ukraine war,
[02:03:15] kadar uluslararası.
[02:03:56] President Erdoğan will emphasize the deadlock and injustices
[02:03:59] in the international system in his speech.
[02:04:02] Let's note that all eyes are on President Erdoğan's
[02:04:06] speech, which he will deliver for the 16th time
[02:04:09] at the United Nations General Assembly on September 22.
[02:04:13] However, let's state that
[02:04:16] the President will also intensively continue leader diplomacy
[02:04:20] in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations summit.
[02:04:23] Let me add this footnote: President Erdoğan
[02:04:26] has held meetings with Heads of State and Government
[02:04:29] from 68 different countries so far this year.
[02:04:33] He has signed off on a dizzying diplomatic traffic.
[02:04:36] Let's state that the President will continue
[02:04:39] this diplomatic traffic, leader diplomacy,
[02:04:42] within the scope of the United Nations General Assembly. Türkevi,
[02:04:45] where we are, has actually become a center of diplomacy.
[02:04:49] Since its opening in 2021, President Erdoğan
[02:04:53] bilateral meetings with leaders
[02:04:56] during his visit to the United States at Türkevi.
[02:05:30] We should also mention that President Erdoğan, as every year,
[02:05:33] will meet with the Turkish community
[02:05:36] living here in New York. In addition, a meeting
[02:05:39] will be held with representatives of US think tanks.
[02:05:43] It will be a very busy program for 4 days.
[02:05:46] We expect President Erdoğan's plane to land in about
[02:05:49] an hour, and President Erdoğan
[02:05:53] to be at Türkevi
[02:06:19] about this? Yes, Ahmet Yılmaz, did you hear
[02:06:23] me?
[02:06:26] I heard your question, Mr. President.
[02:06:30] No information about this meeting
[02:06:33] has been provided by the Directorate of Communications,
[02:06:36] but of course,
[02:06:40] this meeting may take place,
[02:06:44] but let's state that no information has been provided
[02:06:47] by the Directorate of Communications.
[02:06:50] it is clear with whom President Erdoğan
[02:06:54] will hold bilateral meetings in his program,
[02:06:57] and additions can also be made to these names from time to time
[02:07:01] during President Erdoğan's visit to New York. However, no information
[02:07:05] has been provided about a meeting with Trump. Let's also underline that
[02:07:15] Ahmet Yılmaz. We can also say this about this question:
[02:07:19] The G20 will be held in Miami, USA,
[02:07:23] in December. Of course, there will be meetings
[02:07:26] at this summit, but President Erdoğan will most likely
[02:07:30] have another America program in two months,
[02:07:34] and he will also meet with Trump at the G20 summit.
[02:07:38] I know that, yes, okay.
[02:07:41] Now, of course, dear sir,
[02:07:44] in the United Nations General Assembly meetings,
[02:07:47] perhaps the most anticipated speaker is Mr. President.
[02:07:51] He has made very impactful speeches
[02:07:54] at the UN General Assembly so far. Mr. President sometimes
[02:07:57] criticizes the system. He often brings solutions
[02:08:01] to global problems. He brings many agenda items
[02:08:05] to the world's attention. This time,
[02:08:09] he will definitely address Gaza, which is expected.
[02:08:12] He will emphasize many problem areas. What is your comment
[02:08:16] on Mr. President's speech? You know, when we look
[02:08:19] at the founding purpose or founding structure
[02:08:23] of the United Nations, we actually see a structure
[02:08:27] that is the exact opposite of today's situation. to produce peace. The functioning of the international system in the world,
[02:08:30] which should produce justice, should be carried out fairly and equally.
[02:08:34] It is a structure that protects and safeguards
[02:08:37] the international law in inter-state relations and
[02:08:41] should maintain it, but today it is facing
[02:08:44] a function that is exactly the opposite.
[02:08:47] In fact, there were various problems related to this
[02:08:51] during the Cold War era, but today this is very clear.
[02:08:54] We see this in a very obvious way.
[02:08:58] There is a structure called the United Nations Security Council
[02:09:02] with five permanent members and ten temporary members,
[02:09:05] and if these five permanent members veto,
[02:09:08] no law, no vote
[02:09:12] can be passed, even if 190 countries or 194 countries
[02:09:15] approve it. Therefore,
[02:09:18] in terms of the functioning of the system, there is an unjust structure, because the system
[02:09:22] was established after the Second World War
[02:09:25] in 1945, and this was a distribution based
[02:09:28] on the distribution of power at that time. But when we look at the distribution of power
[02:09:32] in today's world, we see that it does not reflect
[02:09:35] the truth or what is fair. We know this closely, because
[02:09:39] Turkey, as an actor located in the Middle East,
[02:09:42] suffered the most from this. In the Gaza issue,
[02:09:46] in the Palestine issue, in the face of Israel's actions,
[02:09:49] all states in the Middle East actually suffer
[02:09:52] from the helpless or dominant structure of the United Nations.
[02:09:56] As you know, Mr. President also strongly emphasized this.
[02:10:00] When he asked what Israel's borders are in the United Nations,
[02:10:03] where the legal structures of all
[02:10:06] states are valid, no one
[02:10:09] could answer, because no one knows
[02:10:12] Israel's borders. Therefore, in such a structure,
[02:10:16] a state that has managed to remain outside international law
[02:10:20] from its own perspective can find a place
[02:10:23] in the mechanism where international law operates.
[02:10:27] Therefore, in fact, "the world is bigger than five"
[02:10:30] has become a motto of Turkish foreign policy, and President Erdoğan
[02:10:34] in every UN General Assembly address,
[02:10:37] in his speech, touched upon different points,
[02:10:40] especially globally and locally, for example, regarding FETO,
[02:10:44] after 2016, he had a very serious speech. In 2016,
[02:10:48] just two months after the July 15 coup attempt, when he went to the United Nations in New York
[02:10:52] in September and gave a speech, he focused mainly
[02:10:56] on FETO. Look, today,
[02:10:59] in fact, both in our region
[02:11:02] and internally, we are facing serious crises.
[02:11:06] Look, today, the Ukraine, Iran, and Yemen
[02:11:09] issue draws a triangle. And Turkey is right in the middle
[02:11:13] of it. By contributing in all these areas and
[02:11:16] contributing to international peace and justice, it is actually trying
[02:11:20] to do what the United Nations should do.
[02:11:24] Therefore, in all these, starting with the Gaza issue,
[02:11:27] you know, last year, there was a serious meeting
[02:11:31] in the Gaza issue, both with Trump and with representatives of the Gaza Peace Council
[02:11:34] and other states. Perhaps
[02:11:38] today, in this United Nations General Assembly,
[02:11:42] perhaps Iran or Russia will be a more prominent issue,
[02:11:46] and Turkey is one of the states most closely related
[02:11:49] to both these issues. Therefore, President
[02:11:52] will actually be giving his 16th address
[02:11:55] to the General Assembly, and he is one of the leaders
[02:11:59] who has addressed it the most in the world. In this sense,
[02:12:02] he will give a strong speech,
[02:12:06] emphasizing the reform of the United Nations,
[02:12:09] what needs to change when we come from 1945
[02:12:13] to 2026. "He will strongly emphasize
[02:12:16] that this structure can no longer protect
[02:12:19] the current international order or heal
[02:12:22] the ruptures in the international system, and it has not been able to do so.
[02:12:25] It will probably be a reform-centric agenda item.
[02:12:29] Along with this, I believe that Turkey will also give serious messages
[02:12:32] regarding the crises around our foreign policy priorities.
[02:12:36] Of course, these General Assembly messages, as you know,
[02:12:40] the Turkish House, right across from Turkey, has become a diplomacy center
[02:12:44] as much as the General Assembly." And Mr. President holds very serious bilateral meetings there
[02:12:47] every time. The really critical
[02:12:50] point, in my opinion, is that Mr. President will deliver
[02:12:54] very valuable messages to the world there, but bilateral meetings are always
[02:12:57] more valuable, sir. It seems
[02:13:01] that Mr. President's visit to America has three pillars.
[02:13:05] The first is his speech at the United Nations General Assembly.
[02:13:09] The second is bilateral contacts, as you said.
[02:13:12] The third is the meetings that will be held and participated in.
[02:13:16] In terms of bilateral contacts, there is always
[02:13:19] a very rich range, and as you said,
[02:13:22] the Turkish House has truly become
[02:13:25] one of the important centers of diplomacy within
[02:13:29] the agenda of this General Assembly. What do you expect regarding
[02:13:33] that diplomatic traffic? Well, as our esteemed
[02:13:37] reporter just mentioned, Mr. President has held
[02:13:40] more than 60 meetings with
[02:13:42] his counterparts during the year. This is a very significant
[02:13:45] number, meaning we see the weight of Turkish diplomacy here.
[02:13:49] In this sense, having such a busy agenda
[02:13:52] and such an intense relationship with counterparts
[02:13:56] is not a diplomatic traffic that every state encounters.
[02:13:59] having such a place right next to the New York General Assembly
[02:14:02] is very good, and other states
[02:14:06] also have demands in this direction, as you know. For example,
[02:14:10] we know that Mahmoud Abbas of Palestine also held meetings there.
[02:14:13] Therefore, having such a place
[02:14:16] where one can easily and quickly exchange
[02:14:18] views with other state representatives
[02:14:22] is very valuable. Look, we listed this crisis circle
[02:14:25] around Turkey, but this is only
[02:14:28] one part of the job. For example, Turkey also has a very significant
[02:14:32] presence in Africa and has very intense relations
[02:14:35] with African states. Now, going on an African tour
[02:14:39] requires significant time
[02:14:43] and intensity, so there might be a mismatch of dates.
[02:14:46] But at the United Nations, while the General Assembly is ongoing,
[02:14:50] the Turkish House can be a place where you can meet
[02:14:54] with more than five African leaders.
[02:14:57] Therefore, in terms of both the intensity of the agenda
[02:15:00] and the easier establishment of bilateral relations, Turkey has become a place
[02:15:04] that will conduct a very heavy diplomatic traffic.
[02:15:08] But serious results can emerge from this, because Mr. President
[02:15:11] is a leader who can achieve more results in bilateral meetings,
[02:15:15] and perhaps this year, as in last year's Gaza Peace Council,
[02:15:19] there might be discussions on the Iran or Russia
[02:15:22] issue, or the Yemen issue, or, as you know,
[02:15:26] as in the Mecca Defense Agreement, between Turkey,
[02:15:28] Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Yes, Mr. President
[02:15:32] is a leader who can establish much warmer bilateral relations
[02:15:35] beyond the cold and distant style of diplomacy.
[02:15:39] As you said, the results
[02:15:55] What comments or expectations do you have regarding the framework of the speech?
[02:15:58] First of all, from the rostrum of the United Nations,
[02:16:02] it must always be remembered that the current system is not working,
[02:16:05] how the current situation should actually be resolved,
[02:16:09] how the United Nations system has become dormant,
[02:16:12] and especially which crisis
[02:16:15] points in the world are being ignored.
[02:16:18] Turkey draws attention to these points
[02:16:21] and constantly emphasizes this in all international platforms.
[02:16:25] It is in front of everyone's eyes, but especially
[02:16:28] in the United Nations, Turkey and Mr. President
[02:16:32] constantly underline and draw attention to many important points
[02:16:36] with maps in hand. Now,
[02:16:39] in this speech, as in previous ones,
[02:16:43] there are many unresolved problems, and the need for a modification
[02:16:46] related to the system is evident. Because,
[02:16:50] as my professor explained, we know that the United Nations'
[02:16:53] current system and its system over all this time
[02:16:57] have regulated. But the question mark
[02:17:01] in everyone's mind, and
[02:17:04] here, everyone who is concerned
[02:17:07] about all these global issues,
[02:17:10] about humanitarian crises,
[02:17:14] is this: The United Nations
[02:17:17] is not working right now. There is a decision-making
[02:17:20] mechanism within the United Nations
[02:17:24] that revolves around these five decision-making
[02:17:27] countries, and it is a system that
[02:17:30] is only activated when their interests are at stake.
[02:17:34] The current system cannot find a solution
[02:17:37] to any crisis, it cannot heal
[02:17:41] any wound, it remains ineffective.
[02:17:45] We have seen this in all the crises up to now.
[02:17:48] It has been subjected to very harsh criticism, of course. The fact that it responds late,
[02:17:52] or that when there is a conflict in the interests
[02:17:55] of these five permanent members, "no real step
[02:17:58] is taken, no real decision is made,
[02:18:02] actually shows how much the system
[02:18:05] needs to be modified right now. Turkey constantly says this in all its speeches.
[02:18:09] I think Mr. President will also give messages
[02:18:13] regarding the deadlock here in the upcoming speech,
[02:18:16] and especially regarding the deadlock in the Gaza issue,
[02:18:19] the unresolved nature of the Gaza issue, and the reasons
[02:18:22] why "steps cannot
[02:18:25] actually be taken, and what can be done
[02:18:28] to truly change the situation here.
[02:18:32] and the Russia-Ukraine messages will come
[02:18:35] on many points. But of course,
[02:18:39] unfortunately, Gaza is not the only issue right now.
[02:18:43] There are many problems, many global issues, many humanitarian crises
[02:18:46] that are still ongoing. As you know, we are in
[02:18:50] unresolved processes, we are talking about
[02:18:53] unresolved wars. Unfortunately, diplomatic tables
[02:18:57] cannot be effectively established, or even if they are established,
[02:19:00] they are somehow broken. Even if they are established,
[02:19:04] we see that they remain under the influence of other
[02:19:07] factors so that no solution emerges.
[02:19:10] There will definitely be a call regarding
[02:19:14] the current issues and crises. Besides Gaza,
[02:19:17] many humanitarian crises continue. As you know, there are ongoing
[02:19:21] processes in Yemen. There are very big problems
[02:19:24] in Africa. Besides Africa,
[02:19:27] alongside humanitarian crises, there are many issues
[02:19:31] that the current system cannot solve and that diplomacy
[02:19:35] cannot solve, or where many promises
[02:19:38] are made to solve them, and where the crisis is further
[02:19:41] escalated by other countries that offer mediation,
[02:19:45] like the USA. We can expect
[02:19:49] many topics and many points regarding bringing peace
[02:19:52] Abbas solutions or finding
[02:19:56] a middle ground
[02:20:15] high-level discussions will see high-level participation
[02:20:19] from 190 countries. 73
[02:20:23] heads of state, 45.
[02:20:33] We continue. The discussions
[02:20:37] will take place between September 22-28.
[02:20:40] The agenda for next week has already been clarified.
[02:20:44] Next week, we will frequently discuss
[02:20:48] the UN General Assembly discussions and bilateral contacts, meetings.
[02:20:51] The theme of the summit is also important and very significant.
[02:20:54] I want to get a comment from Ferhat Murat in this context.
[02:20:58] Rebuilding trust, managing transformation,
[02:21:02] a UN that delivers results for everyone.
[02:21:04] Yes.
[02:21:07] Meetings will be held. Climate crisis
[02:21:10] is important, the fight against
[02:21:13] climate crisis is important, and Turkey also has
[02:21:17] words to say here. With the Zero Waste project,
[02:21:20] Turkey has branded itself, and the COP31 summit
[02:21:23] will also be on the agenda. Sustainable development,
[02:21:27] pandemic preparedness, the complete elimination of nuclear
[02:21:31] weapons, and the genocide in Gaza,
[02:21:34] the US-Iran conflict,
[02:21:45] areas. Yes, Ferhat Murat, isn't
[02:21:48] the topic very significant? What do the UN General Assembly
[02:21:52] discussions tell us? It is a self-criticism,
[02:21:55] that is, rebuilding trust. There is lost trust,
[02:21:59] and we must be in an approach that produces solutions
[02:22:03] for everyone, not just for the five members.
[02:22:06] I understand. That is, if they are sincere.
[02:22:10] But we have seen that the United Nations,
[02:22:13] in many humanitarian crises,
[02:22:16] especially the Gaza issue, has not taken any action
[02:22:20] when the interests of those five countries
[02:22:22] do not coincide, when their interests are not involved.
[02:22:25] But on the other hand, we have seen that when there is a different
[02:22:29] situation, the United Nations takes action.
[02:22:32] For example, in Cyprus,
[02:22:35] when a road was to be opened to a Turkish village,
[02:22:39] the United Nations immediately intervened with the peacekeeping
[02:22:42] force. And there,
[02:22:45] it was a matter of fulfilling a humanitarian
[02:22:49] need. But in Gaza,
[02:22:52] unfortunately, even though its own
[02:22:56] personnel lost their lives, we are faced with the fact that
[02:22:59] no concrete action was taken. Of course,
[02:23:03] President Erdoğan repeatedly put forward the mottos
[02:23:06] "the world is bigger than five" and "a fairer world is possible",
[02:23:10] and this
[02:23:12] also emphasized the ineffectiveness of the UN.
[02:23:16] Now, the fact that the United Nations
[02:23:19] itself comes up with this theme
[02:23:23] raises the question of whether these statements
[02:23:26] will actually lead to such a process to eliminate
[02:23:30] the ineffectiveness of the United Nations, perhaps as a self-criticism.
[02:23:33] Frankly, am I very hopeful?
[02:23:37] Unfortunately, I would like to be hopeful,
[02:23:41] but I am not very hopeful. But on the other hand,
[02:23:44] of course, there are other problems
[02:23:48] that the world is facing that will be on the agenda.
[02:23:51] What message will Mr. President give in his speech?
[02:23:54] Let's get your opinion. Of course, Mr. President
[02:23:58] has regularly emphasized the Gaza issue
[02:24:02] and the Palestine issue since 2007,
[02:24:05] 2009, 2011, and 2014. This is very important,
[02:24:08] and a large part of his speeches in the last two years
[02:24:12] was dedicated to this. And besides this,
[02:24:16] as my dear professors just stated, he also emphasized
[02:24:18] the ineffectiveness of the United Nations' structure
[02:24:21] and the need to make it more functional. Here,
[02:24:25] besides the Gaza issue, the issue of recognizing
[02:24:29] the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is also expected
[02:24:32] to be brought up by Mr. Erdoğan, in accordance with the motto,
[02:24:35] Artificial Intelligence. Also, as you just mentioned,
[02:24:38] we will be hosting the UN Climate Summit
[02:24:42] COP31 this year in Antalya
[02:24:46] in November, and there will certainly
[02:24:48] be a section in his speech
[02:24:52] about this. Again,
[02:24:56] I anticipate that Mr. President will offer concrete
[02:24:59] suggestions and an encouraging approach
[02:25:02] regarding the steps that need to be taken against
[02:25:05] Israel by UN members or countries
[02:25:08] that stand with humanity,
[02:25:12] and that he will include these in his speech.
[02:25:16] And again, if you look,
[02:25:19] when we evaluate the speeches of the Heads of Government
[02:25:23] after every United Nations Summit,
[02:25:26] Mr. President's speech stands out as the most impactful
[02:25:29] speech, not only in Turkey but throughout the world.
[02:25:32] You will remember the atrocity in Gaza
[02:25:36] with photographs.
[02:25:43] I think he will emphasize
[02:25:47] these points, supported by visuals, as you mentioned,
[02:25:50] and that he will also bring up
[02:25:53] the crisis points in the world,
[02:25:57] from the Russia-Ukraine war
[02:25:59] to the Gaza issue and the crises in Africa.
[02:26:03] And again, as I just mentioned,
[02:26:06] I think he will definitely bring up the Northern
[02:26:10] Cyprus issue. I am a bit focused
[02:26:13] on the issue of joint steps to be taken
[02:26:16] against Israel. How will the presidents
[02:26:20] and officials of other countries
[02:26:23] react to them? The issue of Turkey
[02:26:27] is truly a source of pride for us every year.
[02:26:31] We might only come across it when the United Nations
[02:26:34] is in session, but it also provides a great service
[02:26:38] to our Turkish citizens throughout the year.
[02:26:41] Now, when we see that other countries ask the question,
[02:26:44] "Why couldn't we have a similar vision to Turkey's?"
[02:26:48] we see how important this situation is.
[02:26:52] But the opposition criticized it a lot at the time,
[02:26:55] you remember. Let's also make a note of that
[02:26:58] and remind them. Now, sir,
[02:27:01] we can open up the Gaza issue at this stage. This agenda actually started
[02:27:05] with America not granting a visa
[02:27:08] to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
[02:27:11] to attend the UN General Assembly. This can actually
[02:27:15] be called a very serious inconsistency.
[02:27:18] However, Benjamin Netanyahu will attend the General Assembly.
[02:27:21] will not.
[02:27:24] Now, when we look at the situation,
[02:27:27] despite the ceasefire declared on October 10, 2025,
[02:27:31] the Israeli genocide did not stop. The number of Palestinians
[02:27:34] massacred since October 7 has exceeded 70,000.
[02:27:38] Another very dramatic figure is that 2 million
[02:27:41] Gazans were forcibly displaced. And
[02:27:45] now, will this whole picture
[02:27:49] be questioned? The debris could not be removed.
[02:27:53] Access to drinking water and food,
[02:27:55] hospitals, educational areas,
[02:27:58] all are problems in Gaza.
[02:28:01] Life is really progressing
[02:28:04] through very difficult processes. There's no need to look
[02:28:08] at it in too much detail. You just gave the simple
[02:28:12] title: Rebuilding trust. Sub-heading: Netanyahu is invited,
[02:28:15] Mahmoud Abbas is not invited,
[02:28:19] denied a visa. "That's exactly the UN's problem.
[02:28:23] There is a structure that wants to rebuild trust,
[02:28:25] but the same structure that maintains
[02:28:28] its dual stance every time
[02:28:32] emerges. Therefore, as long as the UN's
[02:28:36] dual inconsistency continues, its credibility
[02:28:39] is already being questioned in all international
[02:28:42] circles. And rising powers are constantly
[02:28:46] pointing out the problem here while trying to re-establish
[02:28:49] and reorganize their place in this distribution of power.
[02:28:53] Remember last year, Mr. President frequently
[02:28:56] emphasized the issue of UN reform in his speech.
[02:29:00] But there is also a positive aspect. For example,
[02:29:04] regarding your question about Gaza, you will remember that the foundations
[02:29:07] of the Gaza Peace Council were laid when Mr. President
[02:29:11] and Trump sat side by side, with other actors in the Middle East
[02:29:14] sitting around them, and a summit was held in Egypt
[02:29:18] in October to actually initiate
[02:29:20] this Gaza Peace Council process.
[02:29:28] because of its continuation, it actually disturbs
[02:29:31] all states, especially non-Western
[02:29:35] states. There is a situation that deeply disturbs them,
[02:29:39] because the dual structure constantly
[02:29:42] works in favor of Israel. Because there is an American foreign policy
[02:29:45] that constantly protects and supports Israel,
[02:29:48] and the fact that this American foreign policy is actually at the center
[02:29:52] of the United Nations, we see its manifestation
[02:29:55] here in the establishment of the entire world order
[02:29:58] and the international liberal order structure after 1945.
[02:30:02] Therefore, while America
[02:30:05] takes steps in favor of Israel and constantly takes a stance
[02:30:09] against Palestine, other states naturally
[02:30:12] react here. But the thing is,
[02:30:16] especially when the United Nations Security Council
[02:30:20] does not take any stance
[02:30:22] or voice against the genocide
[02:30:26] in Gaza or in favor of Gaza,
[02:30:29] states' own solutions come into play.
[02:30:32] Look, many states in Europe recognized Palestine.
[02:30:36] Yes, I think one of Mr. President's agenda items
[02:30:40] will also be this: the recognition of the Palestinian
[02:30:43] state and its position in the General Assembly
[02:30:46] in terms of representation. We need to state clearly
[02:30:50] that Turkey is one of the actors that brings the Palestinian
[02:30:54] cause to the agenda and expresses it most
[02:30:58] in the General Assembly. Therefore,
[02:31:01] he will openly state in the General Assembly that there is a genocide
[02:31:04] in Gaza and that Israel's aggression,
[02:31:08] look, Mr. Ferhat mentioned the incident in Cyprus. 70,000 people
[02:31:12] were massacred, and not a single step was taken
[02:31:15] by the United Nations Security Council to condemn Israel or
[02:31:19] against Israel, or to stop Israeli attacks.
[02:31:22] Therefore, this dualistic attitude
[02:31:26] constantly comes before us. In Gaza,
[02:31:29] a full year has passed from 2025 to 2026.
[02:31:40] 11 months have passed, In the attack, 5
[02:31:43] children died, and within a year, nearly a thousand people, even more
[02:31:47] than a thousand, lost their lives. Let alone stopping
[02:31:50] Israeli aggression. The United Nations,
[02:31:54] we see this especially often in Lebanon.
[02:31:57] The United Nations has points there, you know,
[02:32:01] it even includes that area.
[02:32:11] Therefore, there is no commitment to a ceasefire in Gaza
[02:32:14] by the United Nations, but a serious
[02:32:17] pressure can be put on the American government
[02:32:21] in a general assembly speech to prevent Israel's
[02:32:24] aggression in Gaza. Perhaps some pressure
[02:32:27] can be exerted, but this is, of course,
[02:32:31] extremely difficult for America. Maintaining the ceasefire is important
[02:32:34] because the ceasefire is constantly being violated.
[02:32:37] And since it's an election period, Netanyahu's government is constantly
[02:32:41] seeking provocations. Look, today again, there was a provocation
[02:32:44] against the Burak Wall. Every day, as the election
[02:32:48] approaches, perhaps we should openly say this, Ms. Betül.
[02:32:52] Perhaps we will face a very serious Netanyahu
[02:32:55] provocation at the United Nations General Assembly
[02:32:58] because there is an election in just one month.
[02:33:02] And Netanyahu is constantly seeking a global provocation
[02:33:05] to consolidate his base. The expectations regarding Turkey
[02:33:09] from his statements
[02:33:11] are even higher
[02:33:13] because he has lost momentum. He has become very aggressive recently.
[02:33:17] Look, today's Burak Wall issue is a result of this aggression.
[02:33:20] Perhaps we may face
[02:33:24] a similar provocation in the General Assembly
[02:33:27] or within the scope of the United Nations.
[02:33:30] "Perhaps next week we might be discussing this issue.
[02:33:33] Well, now, Yeliz Albayrak, let's
[02:33:37] look at the US-Iran
[02:33:40] war. It has dragged on quite a bit, and the crisis,
[02:33:43] I mean, it has gone beyond Hormuz. However, at the current stage,
[02:33:47] within the framework of the UN General Assembly
[02:33:50] discussions, the US granted visas to Iranian
[02:33:54] officials. So, can this be considered a green light?
[02:33:57] Will any outcome
[02:34:00] emerge in this context? For what? Uh-huh.
[02:34:04] Frankly, as I mentioned earlier, we are going through
[02:34:07] a period of frozen and unresolved wars and crises.
[02:34:10] It's very difficult
[02:34:14] of US policies here right now, because Trump's policies,
[02:34:17] Trump's actions, especially regarding this Iran issue,
[02:34:21] we always talk about how Israel draws the US
[02:34:24] into it, different scenarios, yes, but
[02:34:28] in terms of solutions, in terms of an exit,
[02:34:31] or in terms of discussions, unfortunately, we don't see
[02:34:35] very clear messages. Because if you take Trump as a basis,
[02:34:38] in terms of statements, one day he says this war will end,
[02:34:42] it will end very soon, especially after the midterm elections,
[02:34:45] while the next day he says, "Actually, I am
[02:34:49] at a very important decision-making stage." Especially today,
[02:34:53] he has such a message that very important things
[02:34:56] could happen, and he makes statements that raise tension
[02:35:00] again. If you look at all these
[02:35:03] rhetoric chronologically, after very harsh messages
[02:35:07] like "I can wipe out Iran, I can destroy all civilization,"
[02:35:10] the next day he says, "Our officials want to
[02:35:13] meet with us. Actually, this issue can be solved
[02:35:17] very quickly, in a very short time. Let's name the Strait
[02:35:20] of Hormuz the American Strait. Let's shape the regime
[02:35:24] there according to our own. When you place it
[02:35:27] in such a sharp, very marginal framework,
[02:35:31] we see that we are in a process that does
[02:35:34] not provide a clear roadmap or a clear solution.
[02:35:38] Now, will they attend the United Nations, or not, what kind of developments
[02:35:42] will happen there? We will, of course, follow all of these, but
[02:35:45] the main issue is whether there is a possibility
[02:35:48] of a larger attack starting after this midterm election period,
[02:35:52] and unfortunately, the statements being made,
[02:35:55] the calls being made regarding the region,
[02:35:58] or any logical
[02:36:02] discussions that can be logically confirmed and verified by Iran
[02:36:05] in a positive direction, there is unfortunately
[02:36:09] no information or data on this yet.
[02:36:12] So, we need to look at
[02:36:15] the points of contact here, at what level
[02:36:19] they can come together, because, yes,
[02:36:21] diplomatic relations at the leader level
[02:36:25] are very important. Of course, many meetings
[02:36:28] can also take place in Turkey, which is very important.
[02:36:32] Very quick results can be given. Many frozen issues,
[02:36:35] many unresolved issues
[02:36:39] But when we look at
[02:36:42] the US-Iran issue, unfortunately, we see
[02:36:46] that there are many gray areas regarding who is meeting
[02:36:50] with whom, who is being addressed, or how decision-making
[02:36:54] mechanisms fully operate. This also makes us wonder
[02:36:57] whether the US is preparing
[02:37:00] for a larger attack, or whether it views this
[02:37:03] as a temporary period. After these elections,
[02:37:06] Trump actually has another agenda. Their backdoor diplomacy
[02:37:10] continues, and perhaps they are just using this
[02:37:14] as a pressure mechanism, like "we can attack,
[02:37:17] we are ready, we are not backing down."
[02:37:20] Perhaps Trump and the Trump administration do not
[02:37:24] want to lose this advantage or psychological
[02:37:27] superiority, or they haven't produced a success story
[02:37:30] yet. Are they producing rhetoric to that end,
[02:37:34] and is another process continuing in the background?
[02:37:37] Even if you think this, there is no clear
[02:37:40] statement from Iran on this right now. We know
[02:37:43] the Revolutionary Guards are currently...
[02:37:57] As I just said, can this be a green light? Of course it can, but do we have something in reality
[02:38:00] that will quickly respond and quickly produce a solution on the ground? No,
[02:38:03] we don't have a clear map, unfortunately. Well, Ferhat Murat, when we look
[02:38:07] at it now, the US-Iran
[02:38:11] tension has also spilled over to the Red Sea, and
[02:38:15] the situation there has largely changed in favor
[02:38:18] of the Houthis. Now, if
[02:38:21] a development occurs between the US and Iran,
[02:38:25] will it happen first? Please comment on that briefly.
[02:38:28] And then, where will Yemen
[02:38:32] stand, and what are your expectations
[02:38:35] regarding Bab-el-Mandeb and Hormuz? Where will the Houthis stand?
[02:38:38] Perhaps that's how we should ask. Now,
[02:38:42] if there was a consensus
[02:38:45] that a development would occur,
[02:38:48] it would probably have happened since February 28th.
[02:38:51] I mean, frankly, I don't see
[02:38:55] two sides trying to make the process constructive,
[02:38:58] unfortunately. And this has actually caused
[02:39:02] regional crises to reach a global dimension,
[02:39:05] and we see that it has emerged
[02:39:08] in a different point, increasing its dose
[02:39:11] instead of decreasing it. For example, the Houthi attacks
[02:39:15] on Saudi Arabia from Yemen.
[02:39:19] When you look at it, the closure of the Red Sea,
[02:39:22] especially access to the Gulf of Aden
[02:39:26] through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, which significantly
[02:39:29] increases oil prices worldwide (it affected Turkey's inflation by 7 points,
[02:39:33] and similarly in Europe and America), and the addition of the Gulf of Aden
[02:39:37] and Bab-el-Mandeb to this,
[02:39:40] has brought a serious crisis before us. Because
[02:39:43] one-third of the world's oil transportation
[02:39:46] by sea, and one-quarter of the total,
[02:39:49] meaning that out of 100 units of oil,
[02:39:53] 75 can be accessed, and 25 cannot. If it's by sea,
[02:39:57] the fact that access to the Red Sea
[02:40:00] is blocked, especially through the Gulf of Aden
[02:40:03] and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and in addition to this,
[02:40:07] the Houthis attacking the East-West oil pipeline
[02:40:11] of Saudi Arabia's Aramco company
[02:40:14] has already put the Suez Canal out of commission.
[02:40:17] In fact, this has brought us
[02:40:20] to an even lower level than the 75%
[02:40:22] I mentioned earlier. We see that Brent
[02:40:26] oil prices have reached almost 120 dollars,
[02:40:30] and this is truly reaching an unbearable
[02:40:33] level. Does it need to be resolved? Yes,
[02:40:37] in fact, for the world to be rid of this global risk,
[02:40:40] it needs to be resolved, but I don't see
[02:40:44] such a constructive approach.
[02:40:53] the Houthis attacking Saudi Arabia, and Iran, again, targeting Arab
[02:40:56] countries at the beginning of the war,
[02:40:59] actually leads to the continuation
[02:41:03] of the chaos in that region. This brings us
[02:41:06] to the question of who benefits the most
[02:41:10] from this. Perhaps we should leave the answer to our viewers,
[02:41:13] but will this result in a complete
[02:41:17] satisfaction for the Islamic geography, or will we see a situation
[02:41:21] where the Islamic geography is fragmented?
[02:41:24] Uh-huh. From this perspective,
[02:41:28] the fact that last week the holy shrines
[02:41:31] were also under serious threat,
[02:41:35] or that the ground is being prepared
[02:41:38] for false-flag operations, Israel could also carry
[02:41:41] out a false-flag operation there. Unfortunately,
[02:41:45] the possibility of this causing a new chaos
[02:41:48] among Islamic countries is among the realities
[02:41:52] we are experiencing. Therefore,
[02:41:55] frankly, I cannot be optimistic about the resolution
[02:41:59] of this process, because until now,
[02:42:02] very serious crises have emerged. Gas prices in America
[02:42:06] have almost increased by 100%. In Europe,
[02:42:09] there are also serious problems
[02:42:12] with access to energy. Iran, on the other hand,
[02:42:16] while wanting to go through a process of internal
[02:42:20] repair, is taking it slow, and the different structures
[02:42:23] there are engaging in different behaviors, which weakens this expectation.
[02:42:27] But there is a small possibility, as you mentioned earlier,
[02:42:31] that granting a visa to Iran might cause other countries
[02:42:34] to accelerate their contacts with Iran and perhaps
[02:42:38] put this process on hold. Maybe it could be
[02:42:41] a sign. Well, let's talk about another issue, Professor.
[02:42:45] The Russia-Ukraine war, a major crisis that has been
[02:42:48] ongoing for 5 years, will undoubtedly be on the agenda
[02:42:52] of the UN General Assembly. Will it enter a new
[02:42:55] phase with the diplomacy of the leaders?
[02:42:59] The Russia-Ukraine war? Before that, let me just say this: I just looked,
[02:43:03] before coming to the program, Trump had made a statement
[02:43:06] that he could meet with Pezeshkian. Of course,
[02:43:10] how much Pezeshkian represents the real
[02:43:14] negotiation thing in Iran,
[02:43:17] or how much influence he has,
[02:43:21] it's a matter of debate, but even if there's no meeting, it can still constitute
[02:43:24] an important ground. As for the Ukraine
[02:43:28] issue, it is the most important
[02:43:31] point that the Trump administration wants to achieve as a diplomatic
[02:43:35] success to sell to the domestic public before the elections.
[02:43:39] You know, first, the SA president visited
[02:43:42] two capitals, then Steve Witkoff and
[02:43:45] Kushner's team held meetings in both
[02:43:49] Moscow and Kyiv. Here,
[02:43:52] at least in economic terms,
[02:43:55] they are striving for a situation similar
[02:43:58] to a ceasefire, such as not attacking
[02:44:02] these economic structures and oil refineries. But
[02:44:06] in these matters, especially in such processes,
[02:44:09] we remember from many past experiences
[02:44:13] that Russia makes very serious moves. That is,
[02:44:16] before such critical diplomatic negotiations, Russia
[02:44:20] has always made moves and tried to use these moves
[02:44:24] at the diplomatic table. I expect a move from Russia
[02:44:28] before the United Nations Security Council
[02:44:31] or general assembly summit. On the ground, like gaining territory, right?
[02:44:34] It could be territory or an intense attack, we don't know,
[02:44:38] but one thing we are sure of is that Russia
[02:44:42] has the upper hand in the Donbas region,
[02:44:45] and it does not see itself in a position to take any steps back.
[02:44:48] It feels comfortable in that regard. It doesn't think Ukraine
[02:44:52] can resist much either, from their perspective, of course, these are
[02:44:55] the actors' own perspectives. But we need to say this:
[02:44:59] both actors are trying to figure out how much of the war's cost
[02:45:03] they can endure, because as the war drags on,
[02:45:06] economic costs and other obligations increase significantly.
[02:45:10] Ukraine is a dependent country, dependent on
[02:45:13] both Europe's and the US's economic and financial support, as well as
[02:45:17] arms support. But Russia is seriously having problems
[02:45:21] using its own resources, but it has more
[02:45:24] advantages than Ukraine in this regard.
[02:45:27] As long as these economic costs are sustained, Russia cannot
[02:45:30] easily back down. But I think both actors are trying
[02:45:34] to give Trump something to make his hand easier,
[02:45:37] and then continue the main negotiation process
[02:45:41] by getting Trump's support.
[02:45:43] I think the one who gives Trump what he needs
[02:45:47] now will be more
[03:00:21] York. We may have connections,
[03:00:25] we are watching. Besides that, there were elections in two
[03:00:28] states in Germany. AFD is rising.
[03:00:32] The prime ministers described the results as a disaster.
[03:00:35] The situation is not good. Our other
[03:00:38] headlines:
[03:00:41] Europe is talking about war in a very
[03:00:44] intense way. It claims to be under hybrid
[03:00:48] attack and there is constant activity. So,
[03:00:51] they haven't declared mobilization in Europe yet, but they are almost
[03:00:55] there. We need to look at it.
