[00:00:00] until we meet again. Stay well. President Erdoğan made statements after the cabinet meeting. There were quite critical topics at this meeting. President Erdoğan evaluated both domestic and foreign developments. He especially touched upon the latest situation regarding the fund investigation. He said that the fund issue would be resolved quickly. He underlined that legal action was taken against 282 people. He stated that they aimed to manage the process fairly without using public resources. He said that the rights and laws of the nation are their red line. The İŞKUR Youth Program was also one of the topics in President Erdoğan's statement after the cabinet meeting. He stated that the quota was increased to 150 thousand and that 3 million young people would be supported in 3 years. Another topic was urban transformation. President Erdoğan pointed out that 1 million 7 thousand independent sections were transformed in Istanbul and also called for quick action in urban transformation. He said, "Act without delay." He also pointed out that all municipalities, regardless of party, should take responsibility in this regard. Of course, President Erdoğan's agenda also included developments abroad and in the world. He said, "I wish God's mercy upon our deceased brothers and sisters, including those who were performing Umrah." President Erdoğan referred to the attack in Riyadh. He stated that they strongly condemned these attacks. The problem he noticed during his Hajj journey became a turning point in his professional life. Turkish sound engineer Ahmet Tekin Topuzdağ carried out important work on the sound systems of the two holiest shrines in the Islamic world. His story, which began in the Masjid an-Nabawi, extended to the worship of millions of Muslims. Topuzdağ told the quarter-century of his services in the Haram only to TRT News reporter Dilruba Hamile. Sound has been a passion for me since I was born. I have loved beautiful sound as long as I can remember. I build a bridge of hearts with sound. Turkish sound engineer Ahmet Tekin Topuzdağ, there is a Turkish engineer's effort in making the adhans and Quranic recitations that echo in places where millions of Muslims gather in the same row more understandable. "We are in the Süleymaniye Mosque. This is my school. I learned Islamic sound here in this acoustics. Therefore, this is my school and my teacher is Architect Sinan." Every sound rising in Süleymaniye gains a different meaning under the dome. Quran recitations, adhans, and prayers are spread not just to be heard, but to reach hearts. Architect Sinan in this great mosque also treated sound as a part of the architecture. Centuries passed, technology changed, but the meaning of sound in mosques did not change. Today, Ahmet Tekin Topuzdağ also carries the same responsibility in large places of worship in different geographies. The goal was to deliver the word in the most accurate way, rather than just amplifying the sound. Ahmet Tekin Topuzdağ's story began with his Hajj pilgrimage in 1997. While worshiping in the Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, he noticed echoes and distortions in the sound system. He met with the authorities to solve the problem, and then he was given the opportunity to work. What he said was, "Allah sent you to us. I know you came for worship, but if possible, can you also work on the other sides?" they asked me. As a result, after 2.5-3 months of effort, I brought clarity to the sound system of the entire Masjid an-Nabawi. He made arrangements that reduced the echo and made the words more understandable. He dedicated years to these efforts. He said, "I am making you the manager of the sound systems of Masjid an-Nabawi." He said, "I am also making you the manager of the sound systems of the Kaaba." He said, "I gave you so much authority that I cannot appoint a manager over you, so you are responsible to Allah." And he said this was in 1997. The zoning plan prepared to extend tourism to 12 months in Uludağ, one of Turkey's important winter tourism centers, has entered into force. Many regulations, such as safe pedestrian paths and cultural facilities, and preventing uncontrolled parking use, will be implemented. Turkey's important winter tourism center is preparing to serve for four seasons. In Uludağ, the aim is to extend tourism to 12 months. The zoning plan prepared by the Uludağ Area Directorate affiliated with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has entered into force. Within the scope of the plan, regulations were made to prevent uncontrolled parking use. An approximately 4-kilometer pedestrian path separated from the highway was created. With the new planning, existing accommodation facility areas were reduced and reorganized. Two hotels and their surroundings, totaling 6,100 square meters, which were previously evacuated, were defined as cultural facility areas. Demolition work in these areas has been completed. In addition to these, a 19-hectare open sports area was designated for four-season tourism. Structures that pose a risk to life and property will be removed after necessary detection and legal procedures. Uncontrolled construction and practices that threaten pedestrian safety will be prevented. With the zoning plan, it is aimed to protect the natural and cultural values of Uludağ. Hello everyone, good evening. I am here with Hot News. Of course, there were important headlines of the day at this meeting.
[00:00:04] The calendar is running in the process of strengthening
[00:00:07] national solidarity and social integration. A new step was
[00:00:11] taken towards the goal of a Türkiye without terrorism.
[00:00:13] According to information obtained from security sources, the PKK terrorist organization evacuated
[00:00:17] four shelters in northern Iraq. The shelters
[00:00:20] evacuated as of October 8 are located in the Baze region
[00:00:24] of Metina.
[00:00:27] Security sources stated that this development is an indication that the process is continuing
[00:00:30] with determination. They announced that the aim is to end the terrorist organization's
[00:00:33] activities in all areas. They noted
[00:00:37] that the ongoing efforts are aimed at achieving
[00:00:40] peace.
[00:00:43] With the success of the process, it is aimed to strengthen social unity
[00:00:46] and solidarity on the basis of brotherhood. It is aimed
[00:00:49] to reinforce the atmosphere of peace throughout the country. It is stated
[00:00:53] that the steps taken will also contribute
[00:00:55] to regional stability.
[00:01:00] Meanwhile, the Cabinet met under the chairmanship of President Erdoğan. There are
[00:01:04] critical topics, we will get the details. Ahmet Furkan
[00:01:07] Arvas will convey these topics. Gülçin
[00:01:10] Üstüncan, the cabinet meeting has been going on for more than 3 hours
[00:01:14] under the chairmanship of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Beştepe.
[00:01:18] There are important topics. In this context, let's underline
[00:01:21] that one of the priority agenda items is the developments
[00:01:24] in capital markets. At this point, President Recep Tayyip
[00:01:28] Erdoğan recently stated in his
[00:01:31] statement that "we will implement our plan step by step."
[00:01:35] In this direction, the process regarding the liquidation of funds,
[00:01:38] especially the work of the Fund Coordination Board, and the liquidation
[00:01:42] of funds is also being discussed
[00:01:46] in the cabinet. Of course, another important topic
[00:01:49] is the efforts carried out towards the goal
[00:01:52] of a Türkiye without terrorism. At this point, the process
[00:01:55] of the terrorist organization, which evacuated some shelters
[00:01:59] in northern Iraq, laying down its arms, is being reviewed.
[00:02:02] Developments on the ground, military and intelligence reports are being
[00:02:06] evaluated. In addition, the activities of the National Solidarity
[00:02:10] and Integration Coordination Board and the steps
[00:02:13] to be taken in the new term of the Parliament are
[00:02:16] among the topics discussed in detail in the cabinet. At
[00:02:20] this point, the stage reached in the process and the
[00:02:23] next steps are being consulted in the cabinet. There
[00:02:26] is also a very busy agenda in foreign policy.
[00:02:30] At this point, there are attacks against Saudi Arabia. While
[00:02:33] regional and global developments are being evaluated in the cabinet,
[00:02:36] consultations are also being held regarding the steps
[00:02:39] taken and planned to be taken in the context
[00:02:42] of the Mecca alliance. Again, steps that can be taken
[00:02:46] against Israel's regional aggression are also being evaluated. In
[00:02:50] addition, the diplomacy traffic carried out to end the Russia-Ukraine
[00:02:53] War, especially the tension between the United States
[00:02:56] and Iran, is also being extensively evaluated
[00:03:00] in the cabinet under the chairmanship of President Erdoğan.
[00:03:03] The cabinet meeting has been continuing in Beştepe for more
[00:03:07] than 3 hours. In the coming minutes, after the
[00:03:11] cabinet meeting is completed, we expect President Erdoğan
[00:03:14] to appear before the cameras and make statements regarding
[00:03:18] both the agenda
[00:03:19] and the topics discussed at the meeting.
[00:03:27] The 9-article bill prepared by the AK Party regarding
[00:03:31] the liquidation of funds and payments to investors
[00:03:34] will be discussed in the Parliament's Plan and Budget
[00:03:37] Committee on Wednesday. With the temporary regulation, interim
[00:03:41] payments of up to 1 million liras will be made to investors
[00:03:44] who meet the conditions. Public
[00:03:48] funds will not be used for payments. We will never
[00:03:51] tolerate injustice, illegality,
[00:03:55] or greed. We are doing and will
[00:03:58] do whatever is necessary.
[00:04:01] Fund assets will be liquidated without economic depreciation,
[00:04:05] and the cash obtained will be distributed fairly
[00:04:08] to the rightful owners. The 9-article bill
[00:04:11] submitted by the AK Party to the parliament will
[00:04:15] be discussed in the Plan and Budget Committee
[00:04:17] on Wednesday. With the enactment of the proposal,
[00:04:20] it will be possible to make interim payments
[00:04:24] to 455,578 investors. In the
[00:04:27] first stage, up to 1 million liras will be
[00:04:30] paid per person. Public funds will not be used in payments.
[00:04:34] When determining the payment amount, the net investment
[00:04:38] amount, which is based on cash inflows and outflows,
[00:04:41] will be calculated. The inflation difference will be added to this calculation.
[00:04:44] A voluntary return mechanism will be created for people
[00:04:48] who have gained profits based on false fund
[00:04:52] values. Shares remaining in funds, government
[00:04:54] bonds, real estate, and assets
[00:04:58] with material value will be converted into cash
[00:05:02] by the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund and recovered. This will be used
[00:05:06] to cover the losses of investors. Those
[00:05:09] involved in market-disrupting transactions, however, will not receive
[00:05:13] payments from the recovery account. Portfolio management
[00:05:17] companies will be responsible for fund losses
[00:05:19] or insufficient liquidation balances. The bill
[00:05:23] is expected to come to the General Assembly
[00:05:26] next week after the
[00:05:29] commission discussions are completed. We said that the fund
[00:05:32] regulation is coming to the parliamentary agenda. On the
[00:05:36] other hand, the budget work is starting in the parliament.
[00:05:40] Dear viewers, the 2027 Central Government Budget Law
[00:05:43] proposal will be submitted to the Grand National
[00:05:47] Assembly of Turkey on Friday, October 16. The
[00:05:50] budget discussions will begin with the presentation of
[00:05:53] Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz
[00:05:57] to the commission. After a month of commission discussions,
[00:06:01] it will come to the General Assembly agenda
[00:06:03] in December.
[00:06:07] We will hold a budget signing ceremony on the
[00:06:11] 16th. We will do this
[00:06:20] when we send our budget to our parliament.
[00:06:23] The 2027 budget marathon in the Grand National
[00:06:27] Assembly of Turkey is
[00:06:31] starting. It will be submitted to the Parliament
[00:06:35] on October 16. A traditional budget signing
[00:06:38] ceremony will be held at the Presidential Complex.
[00:06:41] The first stop for the budget marathon in the
[00:06:44] parliament is the Plan and Budget Commission. The
[00:06:48] discussions will begin with the presentation of
[00:06:51] Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz to the commission. We
[00:06:54] will make much more detailed statements regarding both the general
[00:06:58] outlook of the economy and our budget. After
[00:07:00] the presentation, a one-week break will be given
[00:07:03] for the commission members to complete their preparations.
[00:07:06] Then, discussions on the general budget will begin.
[00:07:09] After the discussions on the general budget, the
[00:07:12] budget discussions of public institutions will be held.
[00:07:16] The first institution to be discussed will be
[00:07:19] the Grand National Assembly of Turkey Presidency. Then,
[00:07:22] the 17 ministers of the Presidential Cabinet will
[00:07:25] present their budgets in turn. Finally, the Presidential
[00:07:28] budget will be discussed. The negotiations in the
[00:07:32] commission are expected to last one month and
[00:07:36] be completed by the end of November. The
[00:07:39] budget proposal will come to the Grand National
[00:07:42] Assembly of Turkey General Assembly in December. The
[00:07:46] budget discussions in the General Assembly will continue
[00:07:48] uninterrupted for 14 days. According to the 2027-2029
[00:07:52] Medium-Term Plan, the Ministry of Treasury and Finance
[00:07:54] is expected to receive
[00:07:57] the largest share of the budget this year. The Ministry of National
[00:08:01] Education is also expected to be the second
[00:08:04] ministry to receive the largest share. Tube passage to İzmir Bay,
[00:08:08] 2nd Ring Road, urban transformation projects with TOKİ
[00:08:10] support. İzmir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Cemil Tugay
[00:08:14] spoke about the projects planned to be implemented
[00:08:17] in the city after
[00:08:22] joining the AK Party. He said that they aim
[00:08:24] to accelerate investments by working in harmony and
[00:08:28] cooperation with the central government.
[00:08:31] We are setting out
[00:08:34] to revive İzmir, solve its problems,
[00:08:38] and virtually rebuild our city.
[00:08:40] İzmir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Cemil Tugay spoke
[00:08:44] about his priority projects for the city after
[00:08:48] joining the AK Party. In his statement to
[00:08:51] Asır Newspaper, he said, "People of İzmir will
[00:08:55] now see much faster and more intense municipal
[00:08:58] services." He said that they are working
[00:09:02] in full harmony with the central government to
[00:09:06] bring the investments the city has been waiting
[00:09:09] for for years. Our President has instructed
[00:09:13] all ministers to work closely with İzmir and
[00:09:16] to deal with the city's problems closely.
[00:09:20] We are already feeling the positive effects of
[00:09:24] this. In just one day, we held
[00:09:27] telephone conversations with three of our ministers. As
[00:09:31] a municipality, we are also doing our
[00:09:34] own work. Cemil Tugay emphasized that their priority
[00:09:38] is urban transformation. With the urban transformation
[00:09:42] moves we have initiated, we aim to provide
[00:09:46] thousands of our fellow citizens with safe housing
[00:09:49] by the end of this period. TOKİ also
[00:09:52] has social housing investments in the city, and
[00:09:56] we want these investments
[00:09:57] to increase to meet
[00:10:00] the reserve housing needs. Tugay stated that preparations
[00:10:04] are continuing with the relevant ministries for projects
[00:10:08] that will change the face of İzmir. He
[00:10:11] announced a mega project. I attach great importance
[00:10:15] to the railway tube passage project that will
[00:10:18] pass under the bay
[00:10:20] between Karşıyaka and Konak.
[00:10:25] The second Ring Road, Bay Cleaning and Passage
[00:10:28] Emergency Action Plan, Sports and Culture Facilities, and
[00:10:32] the rapid revision and bringing to the city
[00:10:35] of historical areas like
[00:10:37] Basmahane are some
[00:10:40] of these. Cemil Tugay promised not to leave
[00:10:43] a single unfinished project in İzmir.
[00:10:47] Minister of Interior Mustafa Çiftçi instructed to increase
[00:10:51] security in schools and to make stricter controls
[00:10:53] at entrances and exits. Speaking at the public
[00:10:57] order meeting attended by police and gendarmerie units,
[00:11:00] Minister Çiftçi emphasized that school security has
[00:11:04] ceased to be a routine public order
[00:11:07] issue. He said, "We need to increase measures
[00:11:10] and make them more visible."
[00:11:14] School security will be tightened. Minister of Interior
[00:11:17] Mustafa Çiftçi gave new instructions to police and
[00:11:21] gendarmerie units. "Let's assign village guards
[00:11:24] through the gendarmerie and police officers through the
[00:11:27] police to schools where needed. In other
[00:11:30] words, in places where we need to
[00:11:34] take more measures, they must be at their
[00:11:37] posts half an hour before the children
[00:11:41] arrive at school,
[00:11:42] so that at least
[00:11:51] security is ensured when the children arrive
[00:11:55] at school." Minister Çiftçi spoke at the public
[00:11:59] order meeting. He said that inspections around schools
[00:12:02] will increase and warned that the measures taken
[00:12:06] should be made visible. "We must definitely increase
[00:12:09] our inspections at school entrance and exit
[00:12:13] times, in abandoned buildings, in service vehicles,
[00:12:16] and in places where children go. At
[00:12:20] entrance and exit times, at noon,
[00:12:23] around schools, we must definitely carry
[00:12:26] out more operations
[00:12:40] so that we can show it to the public as well."
[00:12:43] We are bringing a new development to your screens. Unfortunately,
[00:12:47] a bus overturned in Afyonkarahisar, dear viewers,
[00:12:51] 25 people were injured. The accident occurred near the Karaadilli town
[00:13:33] of Şuhut district. A bus
[00:13:35] overturned into a ditch
[00:13:39] on the side of the road after the driver
[00:13:42] lost control for an as yet undetermined
[00:13:46] reason. According to initial reports, 25 people
[00:13:49] were injured in the accident, and the injured
[00:13:52] were taken to hospitals by ambulances that
[00:13:56] arrived at the scene.
[00:13:57] Rescue teams are continuing
[00:14:02] their work in the region. It was reported
[00:14:05] that the condition of some of the injured
[00:14:08] is serious. Ukraine pointed to President
[00:14:12] Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for peace with Russia.
[00:14:15] In a statement from Kyiv, it was stated
[00:14:18] that Ukrainian President Zelensky could meet with
[00:14:22] Russian President Vladimir Putin with Erdoğan's mediation.
[00:14:25] He stated that it should be done again.
[00:14:28] The ceasefire announced by US President Trump
[00:14:32] between Moscow and Kyiv,
[00:14:33] covering energy infrastructure,
[00:14:36] is also on Ukraine's agenda. Ukrainian President
[00:14:40] Zelensky said they were waiting to see the
[00:14:43] details of the agreement. He stated that Russia
[00:14:46] continues to attack energy infrastructure.
[00:14:49] We welcome the agreement. Unfortunately, Russian drones
[00:14:52] were in the air throughout the day and
[00:14:57] are still in the air. It should be
[00:15:00] noted with sadness that attacks using guided
[00:15:03] aerial bombs also occurred. There were also
[00:15:07] attacks on our energy
[00:15:09] infrastructure.
[00:15:14] Despite the energy ceasefire news, Russia attacked
[00:15:17] Ukraine's oil company Naftogaz facilities. A
[00:15:20] fire broke out at the facility. 12 people
[00:15:24] were injured in other
[00:15:37] attacks in Kharkiv. The Kremlin did not
[00:15:41] provide details on the ceasefire. It said,
[00:15:45] "Contacts are ongoing, we will share information
[00:15:48] when necessary." Ukraine's
[00:15:49] request for a 60-day
[00:15:53] full ceasefire to hold presidential elections
[00:15:56] in the country was rejected. The statement
[00:16:00] "We want permanent peace, not a ceasefire" was
[00:16:03] used. British Prime Minister
[00:16:07] Andy Burnham claimed that Russia interfered in the
[00:16:09] 2016 Brexit referendum.
[00:16:13] Burnham warned that similar attempts could target France
[00:16:16] and Germany, which will soon go to the
[00:16:20] polls. British Prime Minister
[00:16:23] Andy Burnham made
[00:16:24] a confession-like statement.
[00:16:29] In a program he attended, he said that
[00:16:32] when he took office in July, he asked
[00:16:36] his advisors if Russia
[00:16:38] had interfered in the
[00:16:41] Brexit referendum. And the clear
[00:16:44] answer I got was yes.
[00:16:48] Burnham also warned France and Germany,
[00:16:51] which will soon go to the polls. He
[00:16:55] said that voters in these countries could also
[00:16:58] face similar Moscow-backed attempts.
[00:17:02] The parliamentary committee reported in 2020 that
[00:17:04] the government and intelligence
[00:17:08] did not investigate Russian interference. The then Johnson
[00:17:11] government refused to conduct a new investigation,
[00:17:14] saying there was no evidence of successful interference.
[00:17:18] It is commented that
[00:17:20] Burnham's statement could
[00:17:22] lead to Brexit being re-debated.
[00:17:25] An assassination threat against the Prime Minister
[00:17:29] and Minister of Defense in Poland is on
[00:17:33] the agenda, dear viewers. The Polish Ministry of
[00:17:36] Interior announced that one
[00:17:58] person has been detained based on information received
[00:18:01] regarding a possible attack. Poland is talking about
[00:18:05] an assassination threat against
[00:18:09] the Prime Minister and Minister of Defense. One
[00:18:12] person was detained based on information received
[00:18:15] about a possible attack. The Polish Ministry of
[00:18:19] Interior made the statement. It was reported that
[00:18:22] information was received about a possible attack against
[00:18:26] Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Minister of
[00:18:30] Defense Vladislav Kochinyak Camiz. Security units were mobilized.
[00:18:33] It was stated that Prime Minister Tusk was also informed about the
[00:19:07] threat. Polish media wrote that the assassination threat
[00:19:10] was sent via e-mail. Prime Minister Tusk also
[00:19:13] made a post on
[00:19:22] social media. He announced that a person who
[00:19:25] made an assassination threat was detained. He said,
[00:19:29] "I thank the police officers for their quick
[00:19:32] and decisive intervention."
[00:19:34] NATO announced its new
[00:20:04] response will be made. The theory of victory
[00:20:07] aims to protect the Euro-Atlantic region and deter
[00:20:10] threats. It is also in line with the
[00:20:13] alliance's general strategy.
[00:20:24] that the theory of victory was also designed
[00:20:28] in this context. Grinkevich also shared the details.
[00:20:32] In this context, he first stated that the
[00:20:34] attack was prevented, its effect was broken
[00:20:50] "It will never happen because we will constantly
[00:20:54] force them into defense before they
[00:20:58] even think of making a move against
[00:21:00] our alliance." Dear viewers, the Presidential
[00:21:03] Cabinet Meeting held under the chairmanship of
[00:21:06] President Erdoğan has ended. The meeting at the
[00:21:10] Presidential Complex lasted 3 hours and 20
[00:21:13] minutes. President Erdoğan is making a statement.
[00:21:17] My dear nation, distinguished members of the
[00:21:21] press, I greet you with my
[00:21:24] sincerest feelings, with respect and affection.
[00:21:26] At the very beginning of my words,
[00:21:29] I wish God's mercy
[00:21:48] of our 26 injured citizens have
[00:21:52] been discharged, and the treatment of
[00:21:55] 13 of our brothers and sisters,
[00:21:58] two of whom
[00:22:15] My dear citizens, we have just completed
[00:22:19] the 73rd meeting of our Cabinet. At today's cabinet
[00:22:23] meeting, we discussed important issues on the agenda of
[00:22:26] our country and nation. We made
[00:22:30] comprehensive evaluations about the developments in our region
[00:22:34] that also affect us. The current
[00:22:37] situation regarding working life, social policy, and the
[00:22:41] fund issue that has occupied the
[00:22:44] country's agenda in recent days were
[00:22:47] the main topics of our cabinet.
[00:22:50] Before moving on
[00:23:26] the new legislative year will be
[00:23:30] beneficial for our country, our nation,
[00:23:32] our democracy, and our political parties.
[00:23:35] I hope that the legislative activities
[00:23:39] to be carried out under the roof of our
[00:23:43] Parliament will continue in a democratic
[00:23:46] maturity without resorting to the vulgarity
[00:23:50] we witnessed on the first day.
[00:23:54] On October 3rd, we were guests
[00:23:56] of our brothers and sisters from
[00:24:00] Şanlıurfa. We shared
[00:24:16] completed. We saw once again there that the future
[00:24:20] of Turkey is rising in the
[00:24:24] hands of our young people who
[00:24:26] think, research, produce, and develop their
[00:24:29] own technology. I congratulate our young
[00:24:32] people who won awards and placed,
[00:24:35] and I thank everyone who contributed
[00:24:39] to the successful organization of this
[00:24:42] great technology festival in Şanlıurfa. On
[00:24:46] the same day, we opened the
[00:24:49] Şanlıurfa City Hospital and its connection roads, which have
[00:24:53] an investment value of 39 billion
[00:24:56] liras. We have brought a modern
[00:24:58] health facility to our city, which
[00:25:02] will provide first-class health services to
[00:25:05] the people of Şanlıurfa with its
[00:25:09] 500,000 square meters of indoor area,
[00:25:12] 2,000-bed capacity, 451 polyclinic rooms, 6
[00:25:15] operating rooms, and other units. I
[00:25:20] wish that our Şanlıurfa City Hospital and other investments
[00:25:24] will be beneficial, and I extend
[00:25:26] my congratulations to all our institutions.
[00:25:30] My dear nation, on October 7th, we attended the
[00:25:34] opening of the 77th International Astronautical
[00:25:36] Congress, which Turkey
[00:25:56] stronger presence in space and to
[00:26:00] develop our own technology. The production,
[00:26:03] assembly, and integration phases of the vehicle we developed
[00:26:06] within the scope of the Lunar
[00:26:10] Exploration Program have been completed.
[00:26:13] The system level environmental tests of our vehicle, which
[00:26:17] weighs 3.5 tons and has a
[00:26:20] localization rate of over 80%, are
[00:26:23] continuing. On October 6th, we held
[00:26:27] the opening of the 2026-2027 Academic
[00:26:30] Year with a ceremony held in
[00:26:32] our complex. In the same program,
[00:26:36] we presented the Council of Higher Education 2026 Outstanding
[00:26:40] Achievement Awards to their owners. I
[00:26:44] wish the new academic year to
[00:26:47] be beneficial for our students, academicians,
[00:26:51] and the higher education community, and
[00:26:54] I congratulate the award-winning names. On
[00:26:57] October 9th, we attended the International
[00:27:01] Justice Summit held in Istanbul with
[00:27:04] the theme "Summit of Justice, Common
[00:27:08] Responsibility for Humanity." It is a
[00:27:10] fact that today, the geography of crime is no
[00:27:14] longer limited to the borders of
[00:27:18] a single country. Whether it is
[00:27:21] an ordinary criminal, a municipal embezzler,
[00:27:24] a drug dealer, or a member
[00:27:27] of a terrorist organization, no one
[00:27:30] who breaks the law should have
[00:27:33] peace and comfort anywhere in the
[00:27:37] world. Our state is on the
[00:27:40] neck of those who will escape
[00:27:44] justice or who think they are
[00:27:48] escaping. In this context, in the
[00:27:51] first 9 months of 2026, we ensured the extradition
[00:27:55] of 294 people to our country.
[00:27:58] In the same period, within the
[00:28:03] framework of different it will decrease
[00:28:06] from 8.5 hours
[00:28:09] to 3.5 hours. Our annual passenger
[00:28:12] capacity will increase from 600
[00:28:16] thousand to 3 million, and our cargo capacity
[00:28:19] will increase from 1.5
[00:28:23] million tons to 9.5 million
[00:28:45] we met with the distinguished
[00:28:49] members of our Science Dissemination
[00:28:52] Society, which celebrates its 75th
[00:29:42] five of our citizens lost their lives
[00:29:45] in the building that collapsed
[00:29:48] in Maltepe, Istanbul.
[00:30:07] in Maltepe has once again shown
[00:30:10] how vital the issue of urban
[00:30:13] transformation in Istanbul is.
[00:30:17] Delaying the earthquake
[00:30:19] reality in Istanbul, ignoring
[00:30:23] it, or sacrificing it
[00:30:27] to daily political squabbles would be a betrayal
[00:30:31] of Istanbul. I must say
[00:30:34] this clearly once and for all:
[00:30:37] we are tired of some people
[00:30:40] crying "rent transformation"
[00:30:43] every time we say
[00:30:47] "urban transformation."
[00:30:48] No one
[00:30:51] has the right to play with the lives of our people
[00:30:55] because of their ideological prejudices,
[00:30:58] and they cannot. You see.
[00:31:02] "They live in villas,
[00:31:06] in luxurious and secure
[00:31:09] complexes, but when it comes
[00:31:13] to the renewal of Istanbul's building stock,
[00:31:17] they are the ones who shout the most, they are the ones whose voices are heard the most,
[00:31:21] they are the ones who make the most noise. It is time
[00:31:24] to put an end to this hypocrisy.
[00:31:27] As a government, despite
[00:31:30] the indifference shown
[00:31:34] at the level of local administrations,
[00:31:37] we are determined to accelerate
[00:31:39] our urban transformation
[00:31:42] mobilization. We see
[00:31:45] Istanbul,
[00:31:47] Fatih's legacy, as the capital
[00:31:51] of this urban transformation mobilization.
[00:31:54] We have carried out one out of every two
[00:31:58] urban transformations in Turkey in Istanbul.
[00:32:02] Since
[00:32:03] 2012, we have included
[00:32:07] 1,298,000 independent
[00:32:10] sections in the scope of transformation.
[00:32:14] We have completed the transformation
[00:32:17] of 1,007,000 independent sections.
[00:32:21] The transformation of 291,000
[00:32:25] independent sections is still ongoing.
[00:32:28] We have reunited nearly 5 million
[00:32:32] citizens with their safe
[00:32:36] homes.
[00:32:37] We have taken
[00:32:40] every step to encourage
[00:32:42] our citizens
[00:32:46] to participate in urban transformation,
[00:32:48] especially
[00:32:53] for Istanbul, with our "Half from Us"
[00:32:57] campaign. So far, 544,564
[00:33:01] independent sections have been included
[00:33:04] in the scope of transformation through the "Half from Us"
[00:33:08] campaign.
[00:33:09] We have extended the campaign
[00:33:13] period until December
[00:33:17] 31,
[00:33:20] 2027, so that more citizens
[00:33:24] can benefit from this opportunity.
[00:33:26] In our current support
[00:33:29] program, we provide
[00:33:33] 875,000 lira in grants,
[00:33:37] 875,000
[00:33:38] lira in loans, and 125,000
[00:33:42] lira in relocation
[00:33:45] support for each
[00:33:48] residence.
[00:33:50] For business
[00:33:53] owners, we provide
[00:33:56] 437,500 lira in grants,
[00:33:59] 437,500 lira in loans, and 125,000
[00:34:03] lira in relocation
[00:34:06] support. In other
[00:34:09] words, as a state,
[00:34:12] we are doing
[00:34:18] everything in our power
[00:34:22] to provide our citizens
[00:34:25] with safe homes where they can live
[00:34:29] with peace of mind under their
[00:34:31] roofs. I would like to emphasize
[00:34:35] this once again to my brothers
[00:34:38] and sisters in Istanbul.
[00:34:41] Please, regarding
[00:34:44] urban transformation, start
[00:34:47] today to reach
[00:34:50] an agreement with your neighbors,
[00:34:52] initiate the necessary
[00:34:56] procedures, and acquire a safe
[00:34:59] home. I would also like
[00:35:02] to underline that while
[00:35:06] our government has put
[00:35:15] with all its
[00:35:16] means,
[00:35:20] we expect all our municipalities,
[00:35:23] regardless of political
[00:35:26] party, to show
[00:35:29] the same understanding,
[00:35:32] the same effort,
[00:35:35] and the same sensitivity.
[00:35:39] I call on the mayors
[00:35:42] who truly love their cities
[00:35:45] and districts and who are responsible
[00:35:48] to focus on urban transformation
[00:35:52] projects. My esteemed
[00:35:56] citizens, unfortunately,
[00:35:59] new ones are added to the conflict
[00:36:03] zones in our region
[00:36:06] every day. Tensions
[00:36:09] are rising along the line
[00:36:13] extending
[00:36:16] from Lebanon to Yemen
[00:36:18] and Iran. Especially,
[00:36:22] different calculations are being pursued
[00:36:26] through proxy forces.
[00:36:29] Despite the crisis belt surrounding
[00:36:33] Turkey for some
[00:36:36] time, it is strengthening
[00:36:39] its position as an island
[00:36:42] of stability, security, and peace
[00:36:46] every passing day.
[00:37:07] Khalid International
[00:37:11] Airport, which killed
[00:37:22] who lost their lives
[00:37:25] were pilgrims performing
[00:37:29] Umrah. I ask Allah
[00:37:33] for mercy for our deceased
[00:37:37] brothers and sisters and a speedy recovery
[00:37:41] for our injured
[00:37:44] brothers and sisters. Turkey
[00:37:47] stands with Saudi Arabia
[00:37:51] and its Saudi brothers
[00:37:54] against unlawful and inhumane
[00:37:58] attacks. Here, I would
[00:38:02] also like to state
[00:38:05] that our efforts
[00:38:09] to establish the institutional
[00:38:11] infrastructure of the Joint
[00:38:14] Defense
[00:38:16] Agreement
[00:38:19] we signed with Pakistan
[00:38:22] and Saudi Arabia on August
[00:38:25] 7th are continuing.
[00:38:29] We are advancing our defense
[00:38:32] cooperation on two
[00:38:35] main tracks.
[00:38:38] First, we are working
[00:38:41] towards collective
[00:38:44] defense
[00:38:57] for this cooperation to gain
[00:39:01] a permanent institutional
[00:39:05] structure. I want
[00:39:08] it to be known that,
[00:39:12] as in NATO,
[00:39:15] activities under
[00:39:18] the Joint
[00:39:27] based on our national
[00:39:31] Statements
[00:39:48] to submit the bill
[00:39:51] to the Grand National
[00:39:54] Assembly for its approval
[00:39:57] for the completion of the internal
[00:40:01] approval processes
[00:40:04] of the agreement in the coming
[00:40:06] days are continuing.
[00:40:10] The stance, sensitivities, and principles
[00:40:14] that Turkey defends
[00:40:17] are clear. We never
[00:40:19] look at events
[00:40:22] through an ethnic
[00:40:25] or sectarian lens.
[00:40:28] We want peace and stability
[00:40:32] to prevail
[00:40:34] throughout our region.
[00:40:37] From now
[00:40:40] on, we will continue
[00:40:43] to advocate for peace
[00:40:46] and strive for peace
[00:40:48] based on regional
[00:40:52] ownership. Dear
[00:40:55] friends, one of the issues
[00:40:59] we discussed in our cabinet
[00:41:01] meeting today was
[00:41:04] the İŞKUR Youth Program
[00:41:08] that we launched last year.
[00:41:12] We attach great
[00:41:15] importance to our youth
[00:41:18] gaining experience
[00:41:21] and preparing better
[00:41:24] for the future while continuing
[00:41:27] their education. Our youth
[00:41:31] show great interest
[00:41:34] in the İŞKUR Youth
[00:41:37] Program that we launched
[00:41:40] for this purpose. The number
[00:41:43] of young people
[00:41:47] who have benefited from the program so far
[00:41:50] has approached 220 thousand.
[00:41:54] These young friends
[00:41:58] have both gained experience
[00:42:01] and earned a certain amount
[00:42:05] of income. We are not
[00:42:23] the quota for
[00:42:27] the 2026-2027 period
[00:42:31] of the program to 150
[00:42:33] thousand. Under
[00:42:36] the program, our youth
[00:42:40] will receive a daily
[00:42:43] payment of 1375
[00:42:45] lira. Students
[00:42:49] who participate for 14
[00:42:52] days a month
[00:42:55] will be able to receive
[00:42:58] up to 19,250
[00:43:02] lira in support.
[00:43:05] In addition, our state
[00:43:08] will cover the premiums
[00:43:10] of our youth.
[00:43:14] Furthermore, under
[00:43:17] certain conditions,
[00:43:20] a promotion of 1250
[00:43:23] lira and special
[00:43:25] discount opportunities
[00:43:29] for various expenses
[00:43:32] will be offered. With
[00:43:35] our youth production
[00:43:38] era and power
[00:43:42] move,
[00:43:45] we aim
[00:43:47] to reach 3 million
[00:43:50] young people in 3 years.
[00:43:53] In the İŞKUR Youth
[00:43:56] Program, we aim
[00:44:00] for 1 million university
[00:44:04] students to benefit
[00:44:07] by the end of 2028.
[00:44:10] In defiance of those
[00:44:13] who try to use
[00:44:16] youth for their
[00:44:19] personal gain,
[00:44:22] we will continue to increase
[00:44:26] our support for the education, employment,
[00:44:29] and future of our youth.
[00:44:32] We will not abandon
[00:44:36] our youth to the ambitions
[00:44:40] of marginal structures,
[00:44:42] terrorist organizations,
[00:44:46] or careerist politicians. I hope
[00:44:50] this good news
[00:44:53] will be
[00:45:04] nation, finally,
[00:45:07] we are making intense
[00:45:10] efforts to resolve
[00:45:13] the fund issue
[00:45:16] quickly. Since
[00:45:19] our last cabinet
[00:45:21] meeting, many
[00:45:24] positive steps
[00:45:28] have been taken,
[00:45:31] from the assignment
[00:45:35] of our State Supervisory
[00:45:38] Board to
[00:45:41] the establishment of our Fund
[00:45:44] Coordination Board,
[00:45:47] from informing our Grand
[00:45:51] National Assembly
[00:45:54] to submitting the bill
[00:45:58] to the discretion of our assembly
[00:46:00] for issues
[00:46:03] requiring legal
[00:46:06] regulation, from
[00:46:10] the start of the transfer
[00:46:13] of Katılım Evim, Birevim,
[00:46:17] and İktisat Katılım
[00:46:20] Bankası to Emlak
[00:46:23] Katılım to the start of payments
[00:46:27] for funds whose
[00:46:31] Central Registry
[00:46:33] operations have been
[00:46:37] completed. The investigations
[00:46:41] on the judicial side
[00:46:44] of the matter are continuing
[00:46:47] meticulously
[00:46:49] and thoroughly. Legal
[00:46:53] action has been
[00:46:56] taken against
[00:46:59] 282 people,
[00:47:02] including members
[00:48:37] priority right
[00:48:40] now is not
[00:48:44] to argue with those
[00:48:47] whose only
[00:48:51] capital is controversy,
[00:48:54] but to manage
[00:48:58] this process transparently,
[00:49:01] fairly, and quickly
[00:49:04] without using
[00:49:07] public resources.
[00:49:11] I want everyone
[00:49:14] to know and understand
[00:49:17] this once
[00:49:21] again. The protection
[00:49:24] of the rights and laws
[00:49:27] of our nation
[00:49:31] is our red line.
[00:49:34] Anyone who has obtained
[00:49:37] excessive returns,
[00:49:40] or who has gained
[00:49:43] unjust profits
[00:49:47] through speculation
[00:49:50] and manipulation will certainly
[00:49:53] pay the price
[00:49:57] for this. Others
[00:50:00] may support robbers,
[00:50:03] those who lay
[00:50:06] hands on the nation's property,
[00:53:19] of hatred. Look,
[00:53:22] in Turkey, no one,
[00:53:26] including myself,
[00:53:29] is beyond
[00:53:31] criticism.
[00:53:36] However, no one's
[00:53:40] title, profession,
[00:53:43] or position
[00:53:47] gives them the right
[00:53:51] to assassinate the reputation
[00:53:54] of another using
[00:53:58] FETÖ-like methods.
[00:54:02] The right to criticize is not
[00:54:05] the right to defame
[00:54:08] someone with lies
[00:54:12] and distortions. Similarly,
[00:54:15] freedom of expression
[00:54:19] is not the freedom
[00:54:23] to slander anyone
[00:54:26] who comes along.
[00:54:30] Everyone who claims
[00:54:33] to hold someone
[00:54:37] accountable on behalf
[00:54:40] of the public must
[00:54:43] perform
[00:55:09] under the chairmanship of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. President Erdoğan
[00:55:13] , as always, made statements after the meeting.
[00:55:27] the 3-hour and 20-minute cabinet meeting, President
[00:55:30] Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was in front of the cameras and made
[00:55:34] important statements in the past hour. He underlined
[00:55:37] that the main agenda of the cabinet was the fund issue. At this
[00:55:41] point, President Erdoğan said, "We are making intense efforts
[00:55:44] to solve it quickly." On the judicial side of the matter,
[00:55:47] investigations are continuing meticulously and thoroughly.
[00:55:50] Including the board members of the fund companies.
