00:00:00That is, if Erdoğan hadn't existed, perhaps this regime
00:00:03wouldn't exist either, and the MHP couldn't be a part of that regime. That is, Erdoğan's pragmatism,
00:00:07inclusiveness, alliance
00:00:10policies, and capacity to adapt
00:00:13to the politics needed, both domestically and internationally, these
00:00:17are actually what established it. It wasn't founded on ideological unity,
00:00:20but on a political line, a common vision
00:00:24for the future. It was founded on pragmatism,
00:00:27the MHP. Otherwise, the MHP is like this, historically. Serena is very right
00:00:31when she said it. It has no policy in economics. In foreign policy, whether
00:00:35you've done this or that, the MHP doesn't speak outside of very basic national security
00:00:38matters. The MHP has no economic policy. The IMF comes, implements a program,
00:00:42and it doesn't make a sound. The IMF leaves, you call it domestic and national, and it doesn't make a sound.
00:00:45Does anyone wonder about its program? The MHP is not a programmatic party,
00:00:49not a mass party. I'm curious about the 100-article constitutional
00:00:52proposal, but that's already related to this.
00:00:55So, it's a bit like looking at what's
00:00:59happening now. But let's not forget, this is not a very
00:01:03happy togetherness. This is always
00:01:06tense, always creating tension
00:01:09here as we look forward. That is, the MHP's
00:01:13especially because it could vision doesn't align with the AKP's view of the future,
00:01:16or it may not align. Look, almost everyone
00:01:20Bahçeli has taken a photo with has seen a prison, and you can't
00:01:23get any of them out. This is also true, you know. Isn't it many people?
00:01:27In the Aziz Hisan Aktaş case, the detainee is very good. He said, "He is very close to me,"
00:01:31and referred him, but the person still hasn't been released. None of what he said during the process
00:01:34happened. Therefore, this, you know,
00:01:37that relationship, uh,
00:01:40peaceful, happy, stable togetherness,
00:01:44rather, as expectations for the future
00:01:47increase, tensions emerge from today. Therefore, different, different,
00:01:50uh, something like this also happened sometimes,
00:01:53you know, these days, Bahçeli shared with the public
00:01:56what he told Nagihan Alçı, right? Also,
00:02:00of course, the Minister of Justice, yes, a two-story house for Bahçeli. No,
00:02:03it's not a denial, there are things happening there, things
00:02:07are happening there, of course, uh,
00:02:10the Minister of Justice spoke as if to invalidate
00:02:14the information about its Ocalan dimension, uh,
00:02:18we can also give that as an example. Especially sometimes
00:02:21we discuss
00:02:24if there's tension, what's happening. Actually, those tensions are not due
00:02:27to today's events. Now, the MHP is
00:02:30more advanced, it is expressing a policy
00:02:33about the perpetuation and continuation of this regime in a different
00:02:37way. As it expresses that, conflicts arise
00:02:40in today's pragmatic relationship.
00:02:44He says such a house was built for Ocalan, but
00:02:47he doesn't use it because
00:02:50he has no status. Status should be given.
00:02:52Think about it, he rejected the house, he rejected
00:02:56the status. The AKP is also stalling because the AKP is the party
00:03:00that needs to get votes, not the MHP, yes. The MHP
00:03:04defines this state, that is, it defines
00:03:07a new state in its own way and has positioned itself at the center
00:03:11and core of it. Let me say a couple
00:03:21Vietnam, Brazil, England, look at all these places. Outside of Africa,
00:03:24everyone has increased the price
00:03:28of free meals for elementary school children,
00:03:31children in their development stage, and the contribution was not enough.
00:03:35For example, Vietnamese people ask children what they like
00:03:38and expanded the menu. This year, they added such a thing. That is, they are already giving
00:03:42money, and they say, let's not give standard food,
00:03:46because not everyone might like the same thing. So they take requests from students
00:03:49for five or six types of dishes. That is,
00:03:52people around the world have switched to food,
00:03:56to giving cheap food, free food. Can I say something, because of this, why?
00:04:00Vietnam, with all your exports, has achieved more technology
00:04:03exports. This country is also competing with
00:04:07Finland in education, coming in at number one, because they ask why
00:04:11this is happening. It's not for nothing. Let me give you a figure related to that.
00:04:15Aren't there such bridges with guaranteed passage? Many resources
00:04:18are flowing there. I've planned my
00:04:21100 years, 1000 years. There's a simple calculation:
00:04:25every $1 you spend on free school meals
00:04:28returns to you between $7 and $35.
00:04:32That is, the world, a very, very
00:04:34clear scientific study has been done.
00:04:37There is a coalition called the World School Meal Coalition, which Turkey
00:04:41Unfortunately, Last year, there were 108
00:04:45countries in the world. Today, it's 113 countries
00:04:49that provide free school meals to their children.
00:04:52Many of these countries, that is,
00:04:56except for two countries in Europe, they also need it.
00:05:07Millions of children get hot meals
00:05:10every day in India. All children in the system
00:05:14are covered with hot yes and by
00:05:17the way
00:05:20we are envied because they can't even give a free toast and ayran. Look, they can't
00:05:24give a free toast and an ayran.
00:05:26Those children will go hungry. Now look, for example, schools opened today,
00:05:30tomorrow is mealtime. Now there are such critical and
00:05:34tragic issues that teachers experience
00:05:37a great tragedy when mealtime comes. Children with full lunch
00:05:41boxes. Children with empty lunch boxes.
00:05:44Children with only a bread with tomato paste in their lunch box.
00:05:48Not a toast, not a chicken döner sandwich.
00:05:51In England, the current discussion in England is
00:05:55whether to have fries or not. The world has come to this point,
00:05:58they are discussing the menu, should we do this,
00:06:02should we do that? Since Vietnam was mentioned,
00:06:06I would like to share an anecdote
00:06:08I experienced with you. Between 2013-2014,
00:06:11"I was the chairman of the Vietnam Friendship Group. The Vietnamese Ambassador
00:06:15came to visit me specifically in the parliament, and he had asked
00:06:18for my help in getting appointments with the Speaker of the Parliament
00:06:22and our ministers responsible for economy at that time.
00:06:25Under the conditions of that day, Turkey's trade volume with Vietnam
00:06:29was approximately 35 or 40 thousand,
00:06:32uh, million dollars only.
00:06:36Yes, he was making a great effort to increase this to 100 million dollars.
00:06:39Mr. Bahadır said a little while ago, "
00:06:51He made an assessment regarding the payments
00:06:54made for interest with a wholesale approach from 2001
00:06:57to 2026. I also shared a table
00:07:00regarding interest payments from 2002 to
00:07:042018-2021 with you. Now, let's acknowledge
00:07:07this right. In 2002, he took over
00:07:11as interest payment.
00:07:21In 2016, at the end of 2015, when Mr. Babacan left,
00:07:24these figures were never exceeded
00:07:26in any period.
00:07:28Between 2002 and 2015, inflation
00:07:32had fallen to single-digit figures, and interest
00:07:35payments also continued almost at the same level
00:07:38as in 2002, in a stable condition, until 2015-16.
00:07:42"In fact, it continued until 2018. When
00:07:45in economics, a different method
00:07:49was adopted with the thesis that interest is the cause and inflation
00:07:52is the result, and the Central Bank, through the back door,
00:07:55in the 2019 local elections, emptied
00:07:58130 billion dollars in a way that it was unknown
00:08:02to whom it was sold, when it was sold, and at what price it was sold. After that, that
00:08:05balance was broken. From 2019 onwards, until
00:08:08today, it has reached
00:08:122 trillion 742 billion liras,
00:08:15and the foreign exchange protected deposit is on top of that,
00:08:19excluding that. Therefore, this government,
00:08:22not because we don't have the means, not because of scarcity,
00:08:25but because it is a matter of choice
00:08:29to allocate a budget to meet the nutritional needs of these children,
00:08:33otherwise, believe me, it would have the means
00:08:36to easily fill those lunch boxes,
00:08:40because as soon as it came to power,
00:08:43you know, this government had made books
00:08:46free. It had saved all primary
00:08:49schools from the trouble of books. Because at that time,
00:08:53you know what, Mr. Gökmen, behind the success story
00:08:56of that day was the desire to govern
00:08:59the country with strong institutions that made strong
00:09:03decisions and stood behind them, and with competent, qualified
00:09:06people. When you make
00:09:09strong decisions and equip
00:09:13them with strong institutions, and
00:09:16bring competent, qualified cadres
00:09:18to the helm, it doesn't matter who the name is. This country
00:09:22will quickly see good days, beautiful days
00:09:26again. But currently, the government's choice
00:09:29is unfortunately a choice in favor of interest,
00:09:32a choice based on rent,
00:09:35and a management approach that can satisfy
00:09:38a small number of people. It is worth stating this especially now.
00:09:42Let me just say something about IBB today, since it's the topic. Look, IBB has been
00:09:46subjected to so many operations, so many cadres, bureaucrats are inside, yes.
00:09:49An 8 billion lira aid package for children,
00:09:52meals for students, an aid package for pensioners,
00:09:55a rental aid package announced, 8 billion liras. That's a huge
00:09:59amount for IBB in this condition. You know, daycares were deemed a crime,
00:10:03dormitories are being tried to be taken,
00:10:06uh, city restaurants were mocked.
00:10:09They saw that it was very effective, and they are crashing down
00:10:13on them, as you know, they are being closed. Despite
00:10:17this, in these conditions, look, the bureaucrats and politicians there still
00:10:20prioritize the situation of the people, which is very important. They announced it today. I think
00:10:24today was its most important event. Yes. In fact, today, the Ankara Metropolitan
00:10:28Municipality also announced it. It was an incredible figure. Especially
00:10:31in schools, it is striving for one meal. But to support
00:10:35what Mr. İdris said, in order for us to truly
00:10:39grasp the essence of the matter, all of society, all of us,
00:10:42must realize that this is a matter
00:10:46of priority, of choice.
00:10:49The government does not choose this,
00:10:52because this government used to provide one
00:10:55free meal and clean water to children in both
00:10:58transported education and preschool
00:11:02education for up to 4 million students.
00:11:04This was the first thing the government cut.
00:11:08It lost votes because it abolished it in both preschool
00:11:12and transported education. It abolished it.
00:11:15That is, it had reached up to 4 million, it started with 1.5 million,
00:11:18and it had reached up to 4 million. Why did it abolish
00:11:22it, sir? That is, for the sake of saving?
00:11:28I'm quoting the honorable minister: for
00:11:31the sake of saving. That is, everything
00:11:35that could be saved is gone, and this is what's left. The free
00:11:38meal for 4 million children. If children voted,
00:11:42would they even have a task? But their vote doesn't matter,
00:11:46so it's not a problem. They already said that as education increases, our votes
00:11:50decrease. After saying this, these matters
00:11:53were entrusted to sects, foundations, and communities.
00:11:57You started doing this with children after that, because education
00:12:01in every country ignites the yearning for a better life
00:12:04and for a better politics, a better state, a more just order. This is an inevitable
00:12:08development of humanity. It's not about
00:12:11saving, sir. They can
00:12:14do it elsewhere, of course. Of course, I'm just saying
00:12:18that it's not their priority, they can ignore
00:12:21it. Why isn't it their priority? The issue is that
00:12:33people cannot pay
00:12:35for their children's school transportation fees, they cannot pay
00:12:39school installments, and they cannot even afford the most basic
00:12:42meal. But from those who cannot afford a meal
00:12:46to those who cannot pay for school transportation, even those who are better off cannot
00:12:50pay school installments. In fact, this is everyone's common denominator.
00:12:53Therefore, what does a government need to gain support?
00:12:57To convince broad segments of society, it could actually invest
00:13:00here. But the issue comes back to the same point, I think.
00:13:04We've moved past these ideological etc.
00:13:06tendencies. Currently, the voter's,
00:13:09or rather, our society's power to make the government do something,
00:13:13as if The power to change the government
00:13:16or to create public opinion. There is no longer
00:13:20an area where civil society can make its voice heard.
00:13:23The platforms where opposition parties
00:13:26can make their voices heard are gone. The parliament, you say, is already
00:13:30dysfunctional. On the other hand, the government does not
00:13:33need the votes of these voters. Why did citizens
00:13:36give their votes to local governments? Was it only because there were very
00:13:40popular candidates? No. It happened because of
00:13:43the promises they made, especially after 2019,
00:13:45due to the activities of IBB and Ankara Metropolitan
00:13:48Municipality. But right now, throughout the entire broadcast,
00:13:52the political ground we are discussing is reaching such a point
00:13:55that since their public support doesn't matter,
00:13:59why should priority be given But there's nothing
00:14:02in all these processes, in the upcoming process,
00:14:06the point where society will be cut the most towards this election will be short-term, artificial
00:14:09uh, certain economic
00:14:13supports could exist, happened
00:14:15Now, here there's something
00:14:17called deep poverty
00:14:20network, yes, Hacer Fogo, yes, dear viewers, Hacer Fogo
00:14:24worked on this for years, she compiled
00:14:28studies, observations, and stories on this topic. Of course,
00:14:31she continues, but at that time, it was much more prominent,
00:14:35the story was on the agenda. Let's repeat the most striking
00:14:38situation she described while we're talking
00:14:41about this topic. She had observed
00:14:43some children who preferred to be seen
00:14:47around during snack time. That is, she learned
00:14:50that there were such children. Yes, that is, when snack time
00:14:53came, they wouldn't stay in the classroom and would go out
00:14:57to the yard. Yes, children who preferred to be seen around.
00:15:01This is the situation. Look, let me tell you something else
00:15:04Ms. Hacer said, this is truly tragic.
00:15:07Uh, there are children who fill their stomachs
00:15:10with water. With water,
00:15:13but in most of these schools,
00:15:15there is no clean water, no clean
00:15:19water. They can buy water from the canteen. When you
00:15:23put water, they take it away saying it's spilled. So,
00:15:26uh, the municipality had initiatives in this regard. Professor Öner
00:15:30mentioned that
00:15:33some schools did not accept the work
00:15:36he wanted to do.
00:15:4940 years ago, 40 years ago, when we
00:15:53were in primary school, milk, hazelnuts, and grapes
00:16:25to even give our children one meal, taking us back
00:16:2940 years. This is what we should be talking about. There's no water
00:16:32in the school, no water, Mr. İdris. Children cannot
00:16:36access water. In this regard,
00:16:39we, as the DEVA Party, had a project
00:16:42to provide a water dispenser and a water purifier
00:16:46for every single school. The architect of this project
00:16:49was Ms. Evrim Rızvanoğlu. However,
00:16:52we couldn't keep Evrim Rızvanoğlu. Now, the new party will
00:16:56implement this project, God willing.
00:16:59I suppose you, Ms. Ebru, are also very interested in this topic.
00:17:03Did I misremember the name? It could be Ms. Ebru
00:17:06will come." Our Ms. Evrim was
00:17:10dealing with this in DEVA. Now Ms. Elif is dealing with it,
00:17:14Ms. Zeynep is dealing with it, Ms. Zeynep,
00:17:18yes, Ms. Elif is also specifically
00:17:21following up on this, because when Ms. Evrim left, it fell
00:17:25to our Istanbul Member of Parliament, Elif Hesene, to complete
00:17:29the unfinished projects she left behind.
00:17:39the MHP sometimes talks about changing the electoral system as well. But even there,
00:17:43it would block the path to success for other parties, say the İyi Party.
00:17:47But if they introduced narrow constituencies,
00:17:50then they themselves would suffer, meaning, given the MHP's current
00:17:54vote share, such a scenario doesn't seem possible, I think.
00:17:58Uh, there's definitely something we can understand with codes
00:18:02and so on, but I completely interpret it as something
00:18:05related to the electoral system, related to the regime.
00:18:19And for the period after that, after Erdoğan, the dynamics of this regime, I think, that is, the dynamics
00:18:22of the political ground currently being shaped, are
00:18:25preparing for the period after President Erdoğan, that is, after
00:18:29a period when he can no longer serve. The current dynamics are also
00:18:32based on President Erdoğan running
00:18:36and winning the next election, I think. A significant
00:18:39portion of opposition actors are also acting with this belief.
00:18:42So, these messages should be read in that way,
00:18:46but since it's not a very detailed message, as Professor Öner
00:18:50said, we are constantly looking for something underneath it.
00:18:53We need more details. Also, of course, it has spread from Bahçeli
00:18:57to all MHP members. He likes to throw out
00:19:00a statement and create a discussion. Old journalists know Bahçeli,
00:19:03that is, when we watched him, he used to say such things because in the past,
00:19:07when he first became the head of the MHP,
00:19:10he wouldn't speak, he wouldn't speak, he'd say, "Don't worry, I'll give you a headline."
00:19:14He'd say something, and then for a week,
00:19:17what was he saying? But as far as I know
00:19:20Celal Bey, this
00:19:36let's move on to the next. I also wonder why
00:19:39Oktay Saral, the name in the Palace, got so angry,
00:19:43why he reacted so harshly. What did Arınç say to him? We'll discuss that,
00:19:47and also, can
00:19:50a member of parliament, a member of the ruling party, be threatened
00:19:53by a governor? What kind of thing is this? What kind of accusation,
00:19:56to be more precise? We'll also discuss
00:19:58that in a moment.
00:20:46It continues openly, dear viewers. Something very interesting happened.
00:20:50That is, a member of parliament alleged that
00:20:53the governor of his province threatened him and shared
00:20:57this with the public. Justice and Development Party Burdur MP,
00:21:01Professor Dr. Adem Korkmaz.
00:21:04He states that he voiced the reactions to the compulsory digital
00:21:07water meter in Burdur in Ankara.
00:21:10He explains that the Ministry of Interior intervened in this matter.
00:21:14And then,
00:21:16uh, in Burdur, Governor Tülay Baydar. He says
00:21:20he heard her saying, "I will take the professor too."
00:21:24That is, according to his hearing, the governor said something like that.
00:21:27He then states that he went to meet
00:21:31with her. Now, let's listen to him describe it in his own
00:21:34voice. How did Justice and Development Party Burdur MP Adem
00:21:38Korkmaz describe this situation? Let's watch.
00:21:42That is, he doesn't say, "Look, I'll take you." When he repeated the same phrase,
00:21:45"I'll take the professor," there was nothing more to say.
00:21:49I've been living with this burden for a year, I have no worries.
00:21:53But now I'm going to
00:21:57say something else. My
00:22:00"I'll take him"
00:22:02statement is right there in the open. When this combines
00:22:06with these events, then how will
00:22:09I fill this in? What
00:22:12will I understand?
00:22:14Is this a political statement?
00:22:18Who will protect my life safety, Mr. Hasan?
00:22:21Look, this is the duty of the state, and it is also the duty of the civil administration
00:22:25to protect the life safety and property safety of the society. Brother, how will
00:22:29I fill in this threat here?
00:22:32I requested protection from the Ankara Governorship for this.
00:22:36I am sharing this for the first time. My life
00:22:39safety, here, I requested
00:22:43protection from the Ankara Governorship for this. That is,
00:22:46he doesn't say, "I'll take you." The same expression.
00:22:50Mr. İdris, were you able to look into this matter at all? Well, this attracted a lot of attention, that is, a member
00:22:54of parliament.
00:22:56For the last two days, I have also encountered these statements,
00:23:00especially on social media. In fact, these statements
00:23:03by the honorable member of parliament show that the political institution
00:23:07has failed. Earlier, Serena made a point.
00:23:10That is, if you combine the government
00:23:13with the state, if you eliminate the distinction
00:23:16between government and state, if you also hollow out
00:23:20the political institution, in the period after 2018,
00:23:23the governors of the state say, "Sir, the authority that appointed
00:23:26the members of parliament is the same authority that appointed
00:23:29me here." Therefore, if you get
00:23:32used to acting like a governor of the government,
00:23:36then you will find
00:23:39the courage and audacity to even threaten
00:23:43an elected member of parliament of the government. This is an extremely
00:23:46inappropriate attitude and behavior, and it is absolutely
00:23:50unacceptable for an appointed official
00:23:53to use such a condescending tone and utter such a sentence
00:23:57against an elected official. For this reason, we reiterate
00:24:00that the institutions of the state and state
00:24:04administration are separate. Governments are temporary,
00:24:07the state is permanent. We must emphasize
00:24:11and separate this distinction with thick lines.
00:24:14However, I regret to state that after the 2017 Constitutional
00:24:18amendment, this system has combined
00:24:22them. In most provinces,
00:24:25provincial governors act like provincial chairmen,
00:24:29and from time to time, the provincial
00:24:31chairmen of the government
00:24:34put themselves in the place of the governor and
00:24:37are in conflict with each other regarding duties and powers.
00:24:40Here, there is only one thing that the honorable
00:24:44member of parliament should do: if he respects the will
00:24:48of the elected, if he wants to protect his honor,
00:24:51he must resolve this matter with the governor
00:24:55and with the Minister of Interior. And if a member of parliament
00:24:58in the same province acts with the feeling
00:25:02that he has been threatened by the governor,
00:25:05then it is not possible to talk about the freedom
00:25:08of the people's will and the belief that sovereignty
00:25:11belongs unconditionally to the nation.
00:25:14The honorable member of parliament is responsible for protecting
00:25:17his honor and the will of the people
00:25:20of Burdur there. This is my personal opinion.
00:25:24Now, as far as we understand, there is a discussion
00:25:28regarding the compulsory digital water meter
00:25:32in an application in Burdur. He says he voiced
00:25:35these reactions in Ankara. He says the Ministry of Interior
00:25:38intervened in this matter. And he reacted
00:25:41to the governor's statement that "I will take the professor too." What does
00:25:45"I will take him" mean? What
00:25:48does it mean? Where to? In the sense of "I will harm him."
00:25:51Yes, does that imply something? They say, "I'll make you come off your feet,"
00:25:55etc. So, what does the governor
00:25:58have to do with the water meter?
00:26:01isn't it? He
00:26:04explains that the ministry intervened in the matter when he brought it up in Ankara,
00:26:08and that the governor then said that he heard something like that.
00:26:11But here, what is truly striking is that
00:26:15one is a member of parliament and the other is a governor. Moreover,
00:26:19it's not even an opposition MP, but an MP of the ruling party. So, yes,
00:26:22what is it that cannot be discussed and understood here? What
00:26:26is not part of their dialogue? It's as if
00:26:30the MP prevented something the governor wanted to do
00:26:34even though he was warned or told about it. But this is for a governor, Suat Bey,
00:26:37for God's sake, Gökmen Bey is letting
00:26:40us speak here, but
00:26:43the gentleman is a member of the ruling
00:26:47party, and the other is a governor appointed by the ruling
00:26:51party. We were just talking about the opposition here. What he means
00:26:54here, in fact, is that the governor says, "Even
00:26:57though the MP complained about me to the Ministry
00:27:01of Interior in Ankara, he doesn't have the power to
00:27:05get me removed. But I have the power
00:27:08to remove the MP." That's the essence of the matter. "I will remove him,"
00:27:11they say. Yes, but of course, what else did you understand, Gökmen
00:27:15Bey? I don't know, I didn't understand anything else.
00:27:19I'm also trying to understand. Where is the threat here, hocam? Maybe,
00:27:23of course, since you never said "I'll remove you," they'll have a meeting in Kızılcahamam
00:27:26and sort it out. But I think we're discussing
00:27:30a very fundamental problem of the system. It constantly comes before
00:27:34us in a different way. So,
00:27:36is it the MPs, or is it the governor?
00:27:40Is it AK Party MPs, or is it the advisors
00:27:44or bureaucrats in the palace? This is actually a discussion
00:27:47that comes to us constantly, through different people.
00:27:50Generally, the ruling party brings up the problems
00:27:54of the opposition as an agenda item,
00:27:57but actually, underneath,
00:28:01there is a boiling pot within
00:28:04this system, and we constantly hear
00:28:07these discussions and small squabbles. But of course,
00:28:10due to the system there, those names immediately fall silent.
00:28:14The next day, "we have no problems, what you said was distorted,"
00:28:17and so on. But actually, the system is truly
00:28:21a dysfunctional system. The appointed
00:28:25and the elected in terms of duties,
00:28:28powers, and responsibilities, and the support they receive.
00:28:32Look,
00:28:37by complaining about the appointed, claiming it was a tutelary
00:28:40regime, and saying that the national will
00:28:43was not recognized in Turkey, he came. At the point
00:28:46we have reached today, for example, I had never seen that, after the single-party
00:28:49era in the history of the republic,
00:28:52governors and district governors had
00:28:55such authority. On the other hand,
00:28:59they even conduct election campaigns,
00:29:03and you see district governors and governors even on certain social media
00:29:06platforms. They are running a communication
00:29:10campaign. Therefore, in the system, one side
00:29:14is stronger in terms of authority and influence, and the other side
00:29:17receives the support of the people's will.
00:29:20It says, "My source is the people's will," but actually
00:29:24there is no such influence, no such power, etc. I think this situation
00:29:27also shows both the system
00:29:30and who has more power.
00:29:40From their complaints, we see that they are very
00:29:44dissatisfied with being powerless in the parliament, with not being
00:29:47able to solve anything. We constantly see this,
00:29:50but probably tomorrow or the day after, this discussion
00:29:54will close. He probably
00:29:56made the statement here because he knew
00:29:59this. I think these examples also become
00:30:03a fundamental indicator of the parliament's dysfunction.
00:30:06Or he had him dismissed by saying, "Does a governor dress like this?" Therefore,
00:30:10here, bureaucracy is all intertwined, but basically
00:30:13a CHP deputy, a CHP deputy,
00:30:16a CHP deputy supporting the administration
00:30:19of the province, yes,
00:30:23he got him dismissed, that is,
00:30:26he caused his dismissal, let's say. He said, "What kind of clothing is this?"
00:30:30They said, "What kind of clothing is this?"
00:30:33So, here, I mean, what kind of function does the parliament take on?
00:30:36It's not like an MP was listened to, but rather,
00:30:40an MP's complaint has been listened to.
00:30:44So, what Seren Hoca said is truly who is where,
00:30:47how much responsibility, how has the hierarchy changed
00:30:51within this hierarchical structure, how much has what is called
00:30:54tutelage changed in nature. For years,
00:30:57we talked about military tutelage, now we are moving
00:31:01towards a conceptualization called civil tutelage. How much
00:31:05of civil tutelage is, in quotes, civil? So,
00:31:07these and similar indicators,
00:31:11I think, show that the parliament,
00:31:14the position in parliament, can take on a completely different
00:31:17quality depending on a bureaucrat's relationships, network,
00:31:20and how extensive it is. Otherwise,
00:31:23I say in quotes, can a huge MP
00:31:27come out and talk about the governor's
00:31:30safety, about his safety?
00:31:33It's not easy, yes. He asked
00:31:36from Ankara, so he couldn't get it there either.
00:31:40He asked from Ankara. The MP from
00:31:43Burdur is requesting protection from Ankara
00:31:47for himself. But the real news is what the Ankara governor's
00:31:50office is doing. We don't know that, sir. There's also the impact
00:31:54this has on society. in Turkey,
00:31:58of course, when you experience a problem,
00:32:01when you suffer injustice and unlawfulness,
00:32:04people don't believe that it will be resolved
00:32:07fairly. Now, these incidents are very serious and show
00:32:11something else. If an MP experiences this,
00:32:15if an MP of the party experiences such a threat, such a thing,
00:32:18what will I do? So this is like
00:32:22a place where there is no law or right, and the person we call the governor
00:32:25is responsible for the security of that province, for the security
00:32:29forces, and is their superior. Therefore,
00:32:33this seems like just a discussion, but
00:32:36indeed, society, we also
00:32:39conduct different research, and we ask similar
00:32:43questions in each of them. People have no faith in justice. But
00:32:47think of the opposite: if you are powerful,
00:32:50it's a system where you can do anything. So, if there's
00:32:54power behind you, support, you can do any
00:32:57injustice, unlawfulness, or bullying.
00:32:59This is actually a very, very
00:33:03deep and profound issue, but it seems contradictory. We are
00:33:07discussing this event, a problem within the ruling party itself.
00:33:10The best example of the power
00:33:13system that governors have is the intervention
00:33:16of the Istanbul Governor in the Üsküdar
00:33:19Municipal Council. So, a fight broke out here
00:33:23about a water meter. I don't know the reason. What
00:33:26didn't the gentleman like about the water
00:33:29meter? I don't know that either.
00:33:33Why did the governor get involved in something that is the municipality's
00:33:37business? I don't know that either, but what I do
00:33:40know is that he probably objected to it being made mandatory. The MP probably objected to making the digital water meter mandatory.
00:33:43Please continue. Well,
00:33:47I don't know, but I
00:33:50know the intervention of the Istanbul
00:33:53governor in the election in the Üsküdar Municipal
00:33:56Council. You mean in terms of the election date, right?
00:34:00The election date. I know that he prevented
00:34:04MPs from entering, first by requiring them to form a group,
00:34:07and then, when the group was formed, by prohibiting political
00:34:11parties from entering. In my opinion,
00:34:16that is much more important. So, why are we discussing
00:34:19this? Of course, in terms of showing the nature
00:34:23of the system, it shows a weakness,
00:34:27it shows a problem. But what happened in Üsküdar, Istanbul,
00:34:30already showed that weakness. So,
00:34:33this gentleman should discuss his problem
00:34:36with Mustafa Demir, who is responsible for local administrations
00:34:39within the party. Isn't that right? Or
00:34:43Mustafa Demir, local administration...
00:34:50Instead of local administrations, he explained his problem to the Ministry
00:34:53of Interior, and the governor heard this and said,
00:34:57"Are you trying to complain about me to the Ministry of Interior?
00:35:00Do you think you can get me removed from here?
00:35:03Watch how I remove you." That's the essence of the sharing.
00:35:07So, here, in fact,
00:35:10you can see how much the elected
00:35:13person's powers are limited
00:35:16and, as a result, it completes a process,
00:35:20because if there is only one will appointing
00:35:24everyone, then the will of the people loses
00:35:27its importance. Here in parliament, we hear
00:35:30many ruling party MPs complaining that a department head doesn't answer their calls,
00:35:34that a general manager doesn't return their calls.
00:35:37And we say, "We have come to such a bad
00:35:41period that in the past, we never experienced
00:35:45any of these. We were also MPs when our party was in power.
00:35:48If a general manager or a department head
00:35:52didn't get back to us when we called them
00:35:55to convey the demands of the people, would such a thing be possible?
00:35:58If the people have given you the authority
00:36:01to govern the country, then those you have appointed
00:36:05are obliged to meet the demands of these people,
00:36:09and they must answer the calls of the elected.
00:36:12This is a necessity. There is no other explanation for this.
00:36:15But now, when we call some governors to convey
00:36:18a problem related to that province, their private secretaries ask
00:36:22which party the caller is from.
00:36:25I tell them to hang up the phone on the private secretary who asks
00:36:29that question. After I call from the Grand National Assembly of Turkey,
00:36:33it doesn't matter which political party I belong to.
00:36:36I am an MP of Turkey, and I am dealing with a problem.
00:36:39Otherwise, we cannot have a special relationship with a governor.
00:36:43We call them to convey the demands of the people and to solve
00:36:46their problems. They are obliged to take us as interlocutors
00:36:50and to listen to us. This applies whether it's a ruling
00:36:53party MP or an opposition MP. But in this system,
00:36:56this is one of the most important pictures
00:37:00showing the parliament's ineffectiveness. The attitude of the honorable MP is also a sign of humiliation,
00:37:03it cannot be expressed in any other way. Well, how does
00:37:07an MP interpret a governor's
00:37:11words to the extent of saying, "I don't have personal safety?"
00:37:14So, it means that regarding the word "I'll take you,"
00:37:17because he says, "What am I to understand from this word?"
00:37:20"I'll take you." Is this a political expression? Who else
00:37:23would make such an insinuation about my personal safety? How will
00:37:27I fill this threat? For example, now, when you think about
00:37:31what "I'll take you" means here, it's like, "You can't remove
00:37:34me from my position, but I can remove you." For example, "I can end
00:37:38your deputyship," or "I can't end it in the next term, but I can
00:37:41end your political
00:37:42career."
00:38:18party MP to worry about personal safety...
00:38:21He would say, "Follow us,
00:38:24what's
00:38:26going on in Turkey?" If a ruling party MP
00:38:30worries about personal safety because of a governor's
00:38:33words, if an elected MP of a province
00:38:36in his own constituency worries about personal
00:38:39safety, there is only one thing he can do:
00:38:42return to the people. This is a sign of humiliation, it cannot be expressed
00:38:46in any other way. If a lady governor
00:38:50says, "I'll take you," and you swallow those words and
00:38:53continue to be an MP there for a year, then
00:39:10I didn't know who it was, I just saw that she was a lady
00:39:13governor, that's why I said it. Otherwise,
00:39:17there is no gender discrimination. The position
00:39:20we are characterizing is the governorship. Whether
00:39:23the governor is a woman or a man, whoever it is, if they are going to
00:39:27threaten the elected MP of that province
00:39:30or make a threatening insinuation,
00:39:34then that MP must solve this
00:39:37problem himself. If he cannot solve it,
00:39:40then there is no point in him coming to parliament
00:39:44to serve as a representative of the people. This is my personal opinion.
00:39:48Yes, and also, why hasn't he taken this complaint to the palace?
00:39:52Has he talked to the people there, or
00:39:55has he taken it, but they decided
00:39:59not to take sides on this issue? We don't know, it's
00:40:02a very strange issue. It's a very strange issue.
00:40:06Well, if an MP fears for his personal
00:40:09safety, is protection not provided when he requests
00:40:12it, İdris Bey? How does it work? So, now, from the Ministry
00:40:16of Interior, some can arbitrarily
00:40:19request protection. So, once
00:40:22a protection order is issued to someone
00:40:26during their term as an MP, they can benefit from this protection order
00:40:30even after their term as an MP ends. This is not just for MPs,
00:40:34but for any citizen who is genuinely
00:40:37facing a sincere threat to their life and property.
00:40:40If you ask what is the most allocated
00:40:44position in this country, it is a protection
00:40:47order. There are tens of thousands of protectors
00:40:50today, carrying the bags of people who don't genuinely
00:40:54need protection, fulfilling their personal
00:40:57needs. This institution must also be abolished.
00:41:01For those who are truly suffering from a lack of personal safety,
00:41:04for those who are genuinely affected by this,
00:41:08of course, a protection order can certainly be issued
00:41:11for their safety after a thorough
00:41:14investigation. But in our country, this is applied
00:41:17very arbitrarily. Even the provincial
00:41:21chairs of the ruling parties have protection behind them, district
00:41:24chairs have protection behind them. I say this with regret,
00:41:28mayors have state protection behind them.
00:41:31If an elected official travels with protection in his own constituency,
00:41:35it shows that he does not trust himself.
00:41:38In the past, such requests were also conveyed
00:41:41to us. During my term as the spokesperson of the coup commission,
00:41:45and as the spokesperson of the solution commission, I always used this sentence:
00:41:49"If I am going to walk around in my own constituency and among our people
00:41:53with protection behind me, I should not be doing this job."
00:41:57Our protection is the love of the people, the bosom of the people.
00:42:00We have never needed any other protection,
00:42:04and I don't think it's right to need it. Look, some ministers
00:42:08who served in the National Security Council
00:42:10can be constantly provided with protection.
00:42:13Senior judges who have fought against organized
00:42:17crime and served in very effective,
00:42:19important positions, or judges who served
00:42:23in state security courts in the past,
00:42:26can be provided with security.
00:42:29But I regret to say that, regardless of their
00:42:33position or qualification, these kinds of protection requests
00:42:36are widely abused. There is absolutely
00:42:40no need for them. If an MP worries
00:42:44about personal safety, as I said,
00:42:47it means they have lost the ability to serve
00:42:51as an independent MP in parliament.
00:42:53If they feel concern and anxiety
00:42:57about their personal safety in their own province
00:43:00because of the governor's words, then
00:43:03there is only one way to solve this:
00:43:06to solve this matter with their party leaders, with their Minister of Interior.
00:43:10Because ultimately, the one who appoints the Minister of Interior
00:43:14is undoubtedly Mr. Erdoğan's own will. The will
00:43:18that appointed both this MP and the governor is Mr. Erdoğan himself.
00:43:21They should solve this matter among themselves.
00:43:23Otherwise, appearing with such a humiliating
00:43:27image on a television program and making this public
00:43:30is, in my opinion,
00:43:34truly a sign of helplessness; I cannot evaluate it as anything else.
00:43:38Now, one of the events we are trying to understand
00:43:42is that Davutoğlu's son had his wedding recently. Arınç was there.
00:43:45Even though it was a wedding, a meeting point,
00:43:49a meeting point for the wedding, he attacked
00:43:51Arınç. No, I mean Arınç.
00:43:55Yes, Arınç attacked Gökçe. He said, "Grandpa is chewing
00:43:59gum and going to the courthouse with a lack of seriousness," etc.
00:44:03Arınç, so to speak, hit Gökçe,
00:44:07and the sound came from the palace.
00:44:28Let's see what Oktay Saral said, folks. Can we bring up
00:44:31visual number 14? Or would you like to first
00:44:34show a part from Arınç's speech at this wedding? Which one
00:44:38should we show? What do you say? Is there nothing?
00:44:41There he is, chewing gum indifferently. You know,
00:44:44Arınç has always been against Gökçek,
00:44:47ever since that parcel-by-parcel story.
00:44:51Again, he got angry at Davutoğlu, gave him as an example,
00:44:54and said, "Look, there's an investigation against him
00:44:57because of a statement he made years ago. He is going to give his statement
00:45:01with utmost seriousness." What did Oktay Saral say? "If Bülent Arınç
00:45:04set up a podium in a square, he wouldn't find anyone
00:45:08around him except a few unconscious
00:45:13people." Oktay Saral starts the polemic directly.
00:45:17"Seeing thousands of people together at the wedding, he took the saz
00:45:20and used the young couple's happiest day as material for his political
00:45:24reckonings. Turning a wedding ceremony into a political podium
00:45:27is neither compatible with etiquette nor with statesmanship.
00:45:31Moreover, his using insolently belittling
00:45:34expressions towards a public prosecutor clearly reveals
00:45:37his pathetic state. The answer given to the phrase 'We will see
00:45:40good days, children,' was 'I believe we have seen
00:45:44good days,' and it set the necessary standard.
00:45:47Mr. Arınç, a wedding podium is not a political arena.
00:45:51Statesmanship is not speaking at every podium you find,
00:45:55but knowing where, when, and how much to speak." Now, look,
00:45:58Oktay Saral started directly with this: "If Bülent Arınç
00:46:01set up a podium in a square, he wouldn't find anyone
00:46:05around him except a few unconscious people." And he's not just attacking
00:46:09Arınç, but also those around him. So they
00:46:12are also unconscious in this situation, those gathered
00:46:15around him. I mean, İdris Şahin
00:46:19knows these names, these political figures.
00:46:22İdris Bey, why did such a thing
00:46:26happen? Arınç attacked Gökçek, and the sound
00:46:29came from the palace. What is
00:46:31it? First of all, Gökmen Bey, let me
00:46:35say this: neither Oktay Bey,
00:46:38nor I, nor
00:46:41the people who have been commenting recently,
00:46:44none of us are,
00:46:47in my opinion, of a caliber
00:46:50to judge Mr. Bülent Arınç's statesmanship, political
00:46:53experience, or where he should speak. Let me state that first.
00:46:56We served as MPs together. We did with Oktay Bey, and with Bülent
00:47:00Bey. Bülent Bey is not
00:47:03saying these things today. Over the years,
00:47:07he has always, whenever the time came,
00:47:10expressed his thoughts in an original way,
00:47:13and when he takes the microphone, he is a person
00:47:16who has the ability to make thousands of people listen
00:47:19breathlessly. Let me state this first. Whether
00:47:23this speech had a place or not
00:47:25during that wedding is another matter. On this
00:47:29matter, I, personally, if I were there
00:47:32yesterday, I wouldn't have spoken about it. Regarding
00:47:35Mr. Davutoğlu and the summoning for a statement,
00:47:38a person like Bülent Bey, who is truly
00:47:41experienced, whose word and conversation are trusted,
00:47:45would come to the Ankara Courthouse with the thought that this action
00:47:48is wrong, like Mr. Ali Babacan, like Mr. Mahmut
00:47:53Arıkan, like our MP friends who were there
00:47:56that day. Friends, this procedure is
00:48:00not right. You cannot restrict the right
00:48:03of a prime minister, a general chairman of a political
00:48:06party, to engage in politics with freedom of expression.
00:48:09It is wrong that he was summoned
00:48:12to give a statement on charges of insulting the president
00:48:16for a statement he made 5 years ago. I would have made a statement
00:48:19beforehand. There's no problem with that. But
00:48:23Mr. Arınç's preference is in this
00:48:26direction. Everyone knows that when you invite Mr. Arınç
00:48:29to a wedding and he takes the microphone, he gives long
00:48:33speeches, he gives advice, he gives a message
00:48:36to the people present there.
00:48:40Mr. Oktay Saral knows very well that if he invited
00:48:43him to his own wedding, he would act the same way.
00:48:47Therefore, I see these
00:48:50as somewhat excessive words. Because I also know
00:48:53Mr. Oktay Saral very well. Therefore,
00:48:56did you sense anything between the President
00:49:00and him, a past issue, or...? No,
00:49:03no, I don't think there's any problem between Oktay Saral
00:49:07and Bülent Bey. Oktay Bey
00:49:10was the mayor of Of in the past,
00:49:13and he was our friend who served as Trabzon
00:49:16MP with us in the 24th term.
00:49:20Currently, these advisors
00:49:24at the Presidential Complex, with the title
00:49:27of advisor, there are dozens of advisors who need to make themselves known,
00:49:30Gökmen Bey. From time to time, these friends come out
00:49:34and remind people of their presence by saying, "We are here." Well, now these people
00:49:38are advisors in the palace. When they make such speeches,
00:49:41for example, they criticize Arınç severely, they call those who gather
00:49:44around Arınç and listen to him "unconscious,"
00:49:48saying there's no one but a few unconscious people.
00:49:51Well,
00:49:54doesn't Erdoğan say anything to them in the palace? Is Oktay Bey speaking or
00:49:57is he being made to speak? I mean, I believe Oktay Bey
00:50:01took it upon
00:50:03himself to make this speech. Of course,
00:50:07our viewers said I called him
00:50:10a Trabzon MP based on his Trabzonli
00:50:13Ofslu identity. We worked together during the same period,
00:50:17but he was an Istanbul MP. Let me correct that.
00:50:21Also, although MPs know
00:50:24it very well, according to this system
00:50:28and this political parties law,
00:50:31they are appointed by leaders,
00:50:34but they insist that we say they are elected by the people.
00:50:38But I don't believe Mr. Oktay Saral
00:50:41made this speech due to any guidance.
00:50:45We cannot even approve of the
00:50:48sentences he used. Bülent Arınç
00:50:51Bey is one of the rare names
00:50:55that this country has produced. He has never been involved in anything,
00:50:58and he is a name who has always
00:51:01had the courage to express what he
00:51:04thinks and believes from the past to the present.
00:51:07Therefore, here, İdris Bey
00:51:10still hasn't explained parcel parcel
00:51:14and shared it with the public
00:51:17yet. He just says he will go
00:51:21if called for a statement. Now, as a
00:51:23result,
00:51:26the words Bülent Bey said are a denouncement.
00:51:30If the public prosecutors accept this denouncing
00:51:33statement and open an investigation file
00:51:37and invite him, rest assured
00:51:40he will fully tell everything he knows.
00:51:44I don't have any information about the
00:51:47extent of what Mr. Bülent Arınç knows on this matter.
00:51:51But I know very well
00:51:54that he has the courage to say all of it.
00:51:57Here, don't you think he doesn't
00:52:01owe an explanation to the public? Even if this mechanism doesn't work,
00:52:05don't you think he doesn't owe an explanation to the public?
00:52:08As a seasoned politician, I said earlier
00:52:12that when Mr. Davutoğlu was called to give a statement,
00:52:16it is not only Bülent Bey but everyone
00:52:19who believes in the democracy and rule of law
00:52:22of this country, and who believes
00:52:25that this country will continue as a democratic,
00:52:29secular, social state of law, that needs to show
00:52:33this solidarity.
00:53:05I believe it is a duty, but I am not in a position
00:53:08to tell him what he should do and
00:53:12how he should act as a founder
00:53:15of this party within party discipline.
00:53:18Currently, Mr. Bülent Arınç
00:53:22is still an active figure due to his
00:53:25position as a founder of the AK Party and
00:53:29also states that he belongs to the AK Party
00:53:32as a party member. Therefore,
00:53:36if you ask me what I think,
00:53:39I believe that if there is information,
00:53:41it should be shared with the public.
00:53:45Okay, Mr. Suat, what do you think?
00:53:47If you
00:53:49invited Arınç to your wedding, would you want him to speak
00:53:53like this? But if you invite Arınç, it means
00:53:57you're taking the risk of this speech. Yes,
00:54:00I've never agreed with almost
00:54:04any of the things Oktay Saral has shared.
00:54:08So, the language of Mr. Oktay
00:54:11Saral, a headline is coming from here, dear viewers.
00:54:14His choices
00:54:16and his speech and style
00:54:20are not something I follow and
00:54:24adopt. Besides the introduction,
00:54:28I have a tweet open in front of me now. He has a quote
00:54:31that says, "When he saw thousands of people together
00:54:35at the wedding, he took the saz
00:54:39and made the happiest day of the young
00:54:42couple a material for his political reckoning." Now,
00:54:44I agree with your observation from the outside, yes,
00:54:48I think that's how it is,
00:54:50but since it was Mr. Davutoğlu,
00:54:54the former Prime Minister, who invited Mr. Bülent
00:54:58Arınç there, and knowing Arınç's
00:55:01potential, he seems to have given the
00:55:05microphone to Mr. Bülent Arınç, putting the young couple at risk.
00:55:08The second part is that turning
00:55:11a wedding ceremony into a political platform
00:55:15is neither compatible with courtesy nor statesmanship.
00:55:18Now, as İdris Bey said, it is not
00:55:21for us to discuss statesmanship, but you said,
00:55:25"If it were your wedding ceremony,
00:55:29I would find it rude." I would also
00:55:32find it rude. Continually
00:55:35belittling a public prosecutor rudely
00:55:37and referring to the "we will see
00:55:41beautiful days, children" part was also very
00:55:44interesting to me. I listened to the speech
00:55:48several times to see if it came
00:55:51out of his mouth that way. Mr. Arınç
00:55:55then talked about steering the engines into the blue.
00:55:57This is entirely a song used
00:56:01in the rallies of the left wing,
00:56:05the new party, the Republican People's Party, and therefore
00:56:08it's Nazım's poem. So
00:56:12the mayor who officiated the wedding
00:56:15had to remind him that
00:56:18"we believe we have seen beautiful days."
00:56:22Does the mayor mean we have seen it?
00:56:25Yes, he said, "I believe we have seen
00:56:29beautiful days." So that departure
00:56:33was also very interesting. Wasn't it Ergün Bey?
00:56:36He is not a person known for polemics.
00:56:39And then Mr. Arınç said
00:56:43about knowing where and when to speak.
00:56:47Now, this is not something
00:56:50we can decide for the former Speaker of the Parliament.
00:56:54Of course, after so much experience,
00:56:57he knows where to speak. He decides for himself.
00:57:01He decides for himself. Bravo. Therefore,
00:57:04Mr. Arınç wanted to send a message by saying
00:57:08this there. He especially wanted
00:57:11to do this. There is also support for Mr. Davutoğlu.
00:57:15There is also a concern to convey messages to Mr. Melih Gökçek.
00:57:18Do you think there is support for Gökçek in Oktay Saral's message?
00:57:22No, no, no, not directly, but do you feel a supportive
00:57:26attitude in Arınç's message?
00:57:30Of course, I'm telling you this because
00:57:32he doesn't directly defend Gökçe here.
00:57:36There is indeed indirect support, but I think
00:57:39it's more personal, as İdris Bey said.
00:57:43I don't think there was an intention like, "Write a message
00:57:46from the palace, let's give everyone a hard time."
00:57:55you asked İdris Bey, "While all these things
00:57:58are being discussed, the public expects
00:58:01Mr. Arınç to support Davutoğlu and
00:58:04criticize Melih Gökçek, but they don't expect
00:58:08this criticism." For years,
00:58:10the owner of the phrase
00:58:13"parcel parcel" which is the main
00:58:16source of a book, that is, the one
00:58:20who gave the book its name, Mr. Arınç,
00:58:24why, listen,
00:58:26why, is the time for
00:58:30this never coming? Or why is there a condition
00:58:34that "if the prosecutor
00:58:36calls me"? How can this be?
00:58:40What is the reason for us to wait
00:58:44for this condition to be met? Shouldn't he also
00:58:47protest why no prosecutor has called him on this matter for years?
00:58:51Why isn't the judiciary taking action? Because, dear viewers,
00:58:55Gökçek went to give a statement, but it was not about the claims
00:58:59Arınç made. Mr. Gökmen also made this distinction,
00:59:02dear Gökmen, he said
00:59:06that if he is called for
00:59:09the past, he will not hesitate to tell everything
00:59:13he knows about the past, not just about the current
00:59:16issue. So why does Mr. Arınç
00:59:19insist on a prosecutor calling him? All the public is currently
00:59:22wondering what Mr. Arınç knows about Mr. Melih Gökçek,
00:59:26and this is completely about corruption
00:59:30or allegations of corruption. Therefore,
00:59:33here, what Mr. Arınç should do is not
00:59:35to address a crowd at a wedding,
00:59:39but rather, as a former Speaker
00:59:41of the Parliament, to quickly and
00:59:45urgently share what he knows with the public.
00:59:49Okay, Professor Serhan, what do you say? Since we can't talk about politics,
00:59:52we are actually talking about the implicit
00:59:55messages of those in power
00:59:57to each other. But I think
01:00:01there's only one thing worth noting here,
01:00:04which is that a former prime minister,
01:00:07the chairman of a party, is called to give
01:00:10a statement due to political
01:00:12statements. We see beyond that.
01:00:16Mayors are in prison today. The main opposition
01:00:19party was actually divided
01:00:22by a judicial operation, and another new party
01:00:26was formed. So, since politics cannot
01:00:29be done in the country, we are constantly trying
01:00:33to perceive a message through implicit messages,
01:00:36as Professor Öner said. Today, access
01:00:39to the social media accounts of many
01:00:42journalists
01:00:43or activists
01:00:47has been blocked. We cannot talk
01:00:51about people who bring politics to the agenda,
01:00:53make news about them, and discuss
01:00:57them. We see this very clearly here.
01:01:01There is Fırat Fıstık, Özlem Akarsu Çelik. We can't
01:01:04even discuss them, because they want to shift
01:01:08the ground there. Yes, access was blocked to the Evrensel
01:01:12newspaper's Twitter account, then Amnesty
01:01:14organization, Amnesty Turkey?
01:01:18Before that, Sol newspaper also had it blocked
01:01:22before Evrensel. Our colleague Özlem Akarsu
01:01:25Çelik had her account blocked. Peace academics,
01:01:28then İrem Afşin, Barbaros Altuğ,
01:01:31and Hak İnisiyatifi
01:01:34on kıvılcım gen Fırat Fıstık,
01:01:38MLSA Turkey, the ones who follow
01:01:42journalist trials, Belit
01:01:44Özyükan, I mean Özyükan Belit Ayp Buğdaycı.
01:01:48Justice, socialism,
01:01:50Retro Ç 871. I can't say their
01:01:54pseudonyms here. Umut Sendikası, Kadir Dil, Benim
01:01:58Benkardi, Love your of Moon, Emrah the
01:02:01Politic. I mean, this is available on the internet,
01:02:05dear viewers, you can access these accounts
01:02:09that have been blocked. What is this? Look at it, bro.
01:02:13So Twitter accepts every request, right, Professor Serhan?
01:02:16But every time, our political
01:02:20sphere, politics is not just
01:02:23parties talking and arguing, or MPs talking.
01:02:27We've come to this recently. Rights, labor issues.
01:02:41The voice is being cut. Isn't the same being done
01:02:45to Ekrem İmamoğlu? I mean, Ekrem İmamoğlu's
01:02:48image, voice, every area where he
01:02:52could address the public has been slowly erased.
01:02:56Let's think from the top, the opposition's presidential
01:02:59candidate, the family solidarity network. This is not new,
01:03:02actually, there are constantly
01:03:05pressures on journalists and civil society
01:03:09organizations. But at the point we have reached,
01:03:12the area for doing politics, speaking,
01:03:16expressing ideas has narrowed so much
01:03:19that what's left for us is
01:03:23"who said what to whom." But in essence,
01:03:26what's left for us is Arınç and the Prime Minister,
01:03:31there is an investigation into the Prime Minister.
01:03:34There could be more serious consequences, as I said,
01:03:38many politicians and journalists are in prison,
01:03:41and those who are not are being silenced.
01:03:44We know what is happening to the press and media.
01:03:48In such an environment, we are discussing what
01:03:51Arınç is. When the 7th part of the "Turkey Without Terrorism"
01:03:55report starts to be implemented, and this period,
01:03:59laws and regulations will probably pass through
01:04:03the parliament for a more democratic Turkey.
01:04:06Will Twitter accounts be opened then, professor?
01:04:10I wonder if there was such an article in the 7th part.
01:04:13They say "close-paracy". Yes,
01:04:17and also, I'm sorry, professor,
01:04:20the names given to these operations are interesting.
01:04:23For example, this wave of bans
01:04:26is being carried out with an operation
01:04:30called "My family is safe." Therefore,
01:04:32we need to underline how something is presented,
01:04:35and how it is desired to be perceived by society.
01:04:39Mr. Professor,
01:04:49talked about it a lot. I think it's not
01:04:53my wedding, nor yours. I mean,
01:04:56the addressee of these questions
01:05:00is actually Davutoğlu, but against Davutoğlu,
01:05:04in my opinion, a slightly
01:05:06advanced behavior,
01:05:10let's say, to put it mildly,
01:05:13was displayed, a message was tried
01:05:17to be conveyed. And if you notice,
01:05:19while he was going
01:05:23to give a statement at the prosecutor's office,
01:05:26all the opposition party leaders were there.
01:05:30They showed solidarity,
01:05:33and it seems they also gave
01:05:37the same support at the wedding.
01:05:40But Bülent Arınç
01:05:43was not there when he was giving
01:05:47a statement, because of his position.
01:05:50Because he was in the AK Party and so on.
01:05:54Therefore, perhaps he felt
01:05:57a deficiency there and expressed
01:06:01his protest as someone
01:06:05from within the AK Party. I see it that way,
01:06:08and I am not the one to evaluate it.
01:06:12If it were my wedding, I would evaluate
01:06:15it differently, of course. But
01:06:18he has his addressees there. Isn't he?
01:06:22I mean, if it were my children's wedding, I mean,
01:06:25what does it mean?
01:06:27I mean, if I were the host,
01:06:31I wouldn't go after it. But Oktay
01:06:34Bey's thing is also an unnecessary
01:06:38message, I think. You said,
01:06:41"Is he protecting someone here?"
01:06:45I still don't understand who he's protecting from that
01:06:49message. It's also unnecessary, especially
01:06:53the first part. But I am closer
01:06:56to the point that İdris Bey expressed.
01:07:19Article 299, which is the crime
01:07:22of insulting the President, was also in the old
01:07:26Turkish Penal Code number 765, but in its
01:07:29current form, it entered into force on June
01:07:321, 2005. Yes,
01:07:36when the crime of insulting the President was regulated
01:07:39on June 1, 2005, the President was neutral.
01:07:42He was not a member of any political party.
01:07:46But later, an amendment was made to Article 101 of the Constitution,
01:07:50and the phrase "sever ties with his party"
01:07:53was removed. After the phrase "sever ties
01:07:56with his party" was removed, there was
01:08:00no indication that he would become the chairman of his party.
01:08:04At that time, when that constitutional
01:08:07amendment was made, it was not thought
01:08:09that a president would become
01:08:12the chairman of his party. The type of crime
01:08:16should be evaluated differently in this respect.
01:08:19Currently, the partisan president
01:08:23has two separate hats: a party leader hat
01:08:26and a presidential hat. While he says everything
01:08:30to the leaders of the opposition parties, it should
01:08:34not be forgotten that he will also
01:08:37be answered for the words he says to the people
01:08:40he addresses as the leader of the ruling party.
01:08:44Nobody says these sentences with the
01:08:48intention of insulting the President, but when the
01:08:51identity of the party leader also merges
01:08:54with the same name, such accidents
01:08:57happen. For this reason, Article 299
01:10:50wakes up. We continue where we left off
01:10:54in the parenthesis on Halk TV screens.
01:10:57We are taking the pulse of politics. As you know,
01:11:01especially in recent days, the most talked about topic,
01:11:04especially in the ruling party, is when
01:11:07the elections will be. Early elections are being
01:11:10discussed, snap elections are being discussed. And calls for
01:11:14elections from the opposition are continuing.
01:11:18For example, Özgür Özel reiterates his call
01:11:21for elections every time. In the ruling party, whatever scenario
01:11:25is being discussed, President Erdoğan's
01:11:28candidacy is also on the table. Now, Ali Mahir Başarır
01:11:32evaluated all these issues on Deniz Bayramoğlu's
01:11:35"Gün Doğarken" program on Halk TV screens
01:11:38this morning. He said early
01:11:41elections are a necessity in Turkey.
01:11:56data, economic data, money allocated to interest,
01:12:00people's situation, justice situation,
01:12:03democracy situation, elections are a necessity
01:12:07in Turkey, so I think there will be an early election,
01:12:10because things are
01:12:36getting worse every day. Whether Erdoğan will be
01:12:39a candidate again is
01:12:42also a matter of debate. "May your unity
01:12:45and solidarity be perpetual, and may
01:12:49Allah grant us many
01:12:51more successes in this unity."
01:12:55Lastly, AKP Election Affairs President Alihsan
01:12:58Yavuz had proposed a formula regarding
01:13:02President Erdoğan's re-candidacy. Yavuz had
01:13:05said that the Parliament's decision to renew
01:13:09the elections a week earlier would be sufficient for Erdoğan's
01:13:12candidacy. Başarır also reacted to Yavuz's words,
01:13:16saying, "This would overturn the constitution."
01:13:19They say April or May, or they say a week.
01:13:23This is not going to happen. They say, "What will we do for him
01:13:27to be a candidate for the third time?" We will hold the election
01:13:30three days, four days, a week earlier. This is
01:13:34overturning the constitution. The new Party Leader
01:13:38Özgür Özel had recently
01:13:41given the early election message
01:13:45at the Üsküdar rally. Özel shared a part
01:13:48of his speech at the rally as a video
01:13:51on his social media account. "Now the
01:13:55lines are drawn. The election will be between
01:13:58Democrats and Autocrats.
01:14:02It will be between the Turkey Alliance
01:14:04and the Coup Alliance.
01:14:08Reactionaries and coup plotters are
01:14:11on the side of the autocrats."
01:14:13Özel, who said the game is broken,
01:14:16also included the
01:14:18words, "There is torment
01:14:20in separation, and mercy in unity,"
01:14:24which he used after Mansur Yavaş.
01:14:27"The game is broken. I want to give
01:14:30good news to those listening all over Turkey
01:14:33now: it's time for all democrats
01:14:37to unite. There is torment in separation,
01:14:41and mercy in unity." Now, of course,
01:14:44speaking of elections, the presidential candidate
01:14:47of the opposition, formerly known as,
01:14:51and now as the new party, is Ekrem İmamoğlu,
01:14:55the Mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. He is also
01:14:58a presidential candidate. But after he became
01:15:02a presidential candidate, as you know,
01:15:05he faced a legal process full of numerous
01:15:09lawsuits, and that process continues.
01:15:12He said his life is being squeezed
01:15:16between the courthouse and prison.
01:15:19Last week, what did we discuss?
01:15:22We discussed the lawsuit related to the Tuzla Mayor.
01:15:39He made a statement about this issue,
01:15:42calling it the Tuzla scandal. Now, we are talking about
01:15:46a case where Ekrem İmamoğlu
01:15:49was acquitted twice before. After two acquittals,
01:15:52he was re-tried, and both the venue
01:15:56and the judge changed. What was the result?
01:16:00He was sentenced to two years and one
01:16:03month in prison. If this is also
01:16:07upheld by the Court of Appeals, he may also face a political ban.
01:16:10The lawyers of İmamoğlu will appeal the decision.
01:16:14If the appeal is approved, the lawyers will go to the Court of Cassation.
01:16:17We are facing bullying, but I want you to know
01:16:21that I will not give up. A part of Ekrem İmamoğlu's
01:16:25defense in the case I am the subject of 13 separate lawsuits.
01:16:2812 of them are criminal cases, and one
01:16:32is an administrative court case. İmamoğlu reacted to the sentence from the
01:16:35courtroom, saying, "No court will make a decision on my behalf."
01:16:39He then made a statement on his social media account.
01:16:43Now, please put yourself in my shoes.
01:16:46There is a case in which you were acquitted.
01:16:49You are brought before the judge again in this case due to
01:16:52judicial and political games.
01:16:55Because the case was overturned because no statement was taken, it is a procedural,
01:16:59not a substantive issue. At this time, the judge who acquitted is immediately replaced.
01:17:02The newly appointed judge disregards the acquittal and gives
01:17:06a prison sentence of more than two years so that a political ban also comes.
01:17:10This is not a coincidence. My life
01:17:13is being squeezed between the corridors of the courthouse and the prison,
01:17:16and there it is desired to be spent with psychological
01:17:20torture.
01:17:25Arınç confronted the Palace.
01:17:27The Palace sided with Gökçek. Bülent Arınç's series of criticisms began
01:17:31when Melih Gökçek chewed gum on his way to the courthouse
01:17:35at the wedding he attended, which was Ahmet Davutoğlu's son's wedding, if I remember
01:17:39correctly. Melih Gökçek's answer
01:17:42was not delayed. He addressed his comrades
01:17:45and said, "See well who is siding with whom."
01:17:49This call was not left unanswered
01:17:52by the Palace. The President's chief advisor.
01:18:18Mr. Arınç, the wedding podium is not a political arena. Being a statesman
01:18:21is not about speaking at every podium you find, but knowing
01:18:25where, when, and how much to speak. After Bülent Arınç's
01:18:28statements, Melih Gökçek addressed the government
01:18:32as "my comrades." He said, "Everyone should see well
01:18:35who is siding with whom." Gökçek's call was heard
01:18:39from the Palace. President's Chief Advisor Oktay Saral
01:18:42made a harsh social media post about Bülent Arınç's words.
01:18:46You're attacking me. On one day or
01:18:49the day before, another politician
01:18:52stated that he came by invitation. Chewing gum
01:18:56with a popping sound,
01:19:00from his eyes.
01:19:05And I watched with great shame.
01:19:17He can't find anyone but an unconscious person.
01:19:20Seeing thousands of people together at the wedding, he picked up his saz and made
01:19:23the happiest day of the young couple a tool for his political
01:19:26showdowns. Turning a wedding ceremony into a political
01:19:30podium is neither compatible with etiquette nor with statesmanship.
01:19:34He went at the invitation of a prosecutor. He gave
01:19:38answers to the questions asked. He said, "I
01:19:40always stand behind the ideas
01:19:42I express. I am a politician.
01:19:46A politician criticizes. I use my right to criticize
01:19:50everywhere." This is a noble act. Bülent
01:19:53Arınç's reaction to Ahmet Davutoğlu being called to testify for insulting
01:19:56the President was to criticize
01:19:59the prosecutor. Saral commented on Arınç's words
01:20:03as "expressions that contemptuously belittle the Public Prosecutor."
01:20:06He also used the expressions, "Arınç clearly reveals
01:20:09the pitiful state he is in."
01:20:12Oktay Saral's criticism was not
01:20:16limited to this. The wedding of Ahmet
01:20:18Davutoğlu's son was performed by the AK Party Fatih
01:20:22Mayor Ergün Turan. The dialogue between Arınç and Turan
01:20:26during the wedding attracted attention. Oktay Saral supported
01:20:29Ergün Turan. He said, "He has shown the necessary measure."
01:20:32We will see beautiful days, children.
01:20:35Sunny beautiful days.
01:20:50Dear viewers, actually, on September 1st, we discussed this issue with you
01:20:54a little bit. What was it? The new regulations
01:20:58introduced by the CMB for funds,
01:21:01free funds, and these regulations literally created an earthquake
01:21:04effect in the fund market. We talked about it over the weekend.
01:21:08It was initially claimed that Muhammet Yarız, the chairman of the portfolio management board and one of the major
01:21:12shareholders of Katılım Ev, fled abroad. He denied these claims,
01:21:15and at the same time, Serdar Turhan, the founding partner
01:21:19of Katılım Ev, was banned from leaving the country.
01:21:22But without sticking to names and companies,
01:21:26was this regulation implemented by the CMB too late? Or what did it
01:21:30bring along that these things are happening? And will we see more of these? We will
01:21:34talk about these. We have our guest, Professor Doctor Soner Gökten, with us. Welcome.
01:21:37Hello, Gizem Hanım, good
01:21:41broadcast. Thank you, sir. Can we say that the CMB
01:21:45has put a brake on share sales through the back door to bosses
01:21:48and major shareholders? What did this regulation bring about
01:21:52that the events of the weekend happened? And most
01:21:54importantly, was this regulation, that is,
01:21:58this regulation implemented by the CMB, actually
01:22:01aslında geç mi kalındı?
01:22:05I don't know how long it's been since our broadcast with you,
01:22:08but we talked about these things. Yes, well, at that time,
01:22:11there was no regulation, sir. There wasn't, but
01:22:14we knew what would happen. In Turkey, let me tell you,
01:22:18Ms. Gizem, look, there are 7 million stock
01:22:21market investors. From 10,000 lira to hundreds of millions of lira.
01:22:25Its distribution is not very important.
01:22:28There is a 13 trillion fund market. These
01:22:32decrease and increase every day. So I'm
01:22:36telling you, those 30 million people, 30 million
01:22:40people are currently living and breathing the stock market. Look, for the first time,
01:22:45you are always in the midst of breaking news
01:22:48in your country,
01:22:50but right now, politics has taken a back seat for the first time, you know,
01:22:53Ms. Gizem? Look, nobody is talking about it or anything.
01:22:56Why, you ask? Because we are really
01:23:00going through historic days. History, now,
01:23:03I will tell our viewers two or three things, if you allow me.
01:23:06And how did this happen? I will get to that.
01:23:10We have a concept called "related party" here.
01:23:13I won't be too technical. Let me explain "related party" like this:
01:23:16I told you one and a half to two years ago.
01:23:20Two people said this in Turkey, the first one, Sait
01:23:24Ürünü, and the other one, Soner Gökten. We both paid the price. I won't say
01:23:27how Sait abi paid the price, but my X account was closed.
01:23:31By whom? By the Bakırköy Public
01:23:34Prosecutor's Office. The news came out yesterday.
01:23:37After the statement, it was closed by 3 gendarmerie
01:23:41personnel. What did I say there? I didn't say anything. I predicted
01:23:44these days, and I didn't even give a name.
01:23:47Look, there is one article. Our law considers
01:23:51a fund as a legal entity. This means,
01:23:54I'm trying to explain it very simply, because the financial literacy
01:23:58capacity of our valuable viewers is low. Let's underline this,
01:24:02it's low. In fact, not just for our
01:24:05viewers, look, I'm telling you,
01:24:08it's also low for financial professionals. Now, our brother
01:24:11Muhammed, about whom allegations have been made, his name in the market
01:24:15is Mami. He is a 28-year-old brother. He received a penalty
01:24:18from the CMB in due time. I don't say anything about
01:24:22the claim that made this allegation. It doesn't concern me.
01:24:26But today, this
01:24:28matter cannot be personalized, meaning it cannot be blamed
01:24:31on individuals. The authority waited for a year
01:24:34and a half.
01:24:36Today, I saw a tweet series, an X
01:24:40series. It says, "10% daily, monthly is enough for me."
01:24:43Ms. Gizem, it says, "10% return is enough."
01:24:47Look, in financial theory, we call this
01:24:50behavioral distortion. That is,
01:24:53behaviors have been distorted. They consider 10%
01:24:56normal. You put money into a fund for 10% monthly.
01:25:00There is risk at number 7. There is nothing higher than that.
01:25:03What is higher than that, you ask? It's pressing 32
01:25:06in a casino. That's higher. And
01:25:1010% is reasonable, they say. Such a behavioral distortion
01:25:14has occurred. The culprit for this, the culprit for this,
01:25:17excuse me, is the authority. The minister announced that
01:25:21there is a risk of fund manipulation in manipulations.
01:25:24The CMB waited for a year and a half. That's why
01:25:28the authority, look, if the authority had implemented Article 107,
01:25:31given a penalty, it would have been over. There is no need to give a penalty.
01:25:34When you reach a certain point, you call them, you say,
01:25:38"What are you doing, friend?" They are all our friends, acquaintances.
01:25:42We love them. But you say as an authority, you are a regulatory
01:25:45institution, brother. You say, "What are you doing? Fix this
01:25:49now." "Don't put us under suspicion." When did this
01:25:52regulation come, Ms. Gizem? It came when the "gavur"
01:25:55said it, when MSI said it. It said, "I will
01:25:59downgrade your stock market from emerging markets
01:26:03to frontier market." That's when these regulations came. How long did it take?
01:26:06One and a half years. How did we get to this? I won't
01:26:09elaborate too much. How did we get here? There is an article,
01:26:13"You cannot take a position where you are a related party.
01:26:17If you do, I will penalize you." So,
01:26:20"I am Soner, I have a company, Soner Inc.
01:26:23I cannot buy and sell Soner Inc.'s shares as I please,
01:26:27I cannot accumulate shares. Why? Because I
01:26:31know the information about my company, right?
01:26:33I know the information. But the article says that
01:26:37funds are a separate legal entity. What do I
01:26:41do, Ms. Gizem? I go to a fund and a year and a half ago,
01:26:45I set up a closed fund. Closed means that
01:26:48it doesn't sell fund shares to anyone.
01:26:51Allegedly, there's a citizen who presses a button,
01:26:54the fund manager. Oh, so the fund manager
01:26:58is Warren Buffett. Okay, this time,
01:27:02when this fund buys these shares,
01:27:05it says, "No, Soner didn't buy this." You can do it.
01:27:09It goes to astronomical places. So I said, "Look, if you don't
01:27:13stop this, everyone will start doing it."
01:27:16That is, the price on the stock market
01:27:20is detached from reality. Then I raise it,
01:27:23I raise it, I raise it. We're talking about the compass, right?
01:27:27There are others too. Look, the problem here is not the compass.
01:27:30The problem here is not the others. The problem here
01:27:34is that the authority waited for a year and a half.
01:27:37It waited for a year and a half. Gizem, why did Soner Bey
01:27:40wait? I have
01:27:42no idea.
01:27:44I have no idea. Look, what am I telling you? My X account was closed because
01:27:48I said this.
01:27:50Three gendarmerie intelligence personnel were assigned
01:27:54to investigate whether there was a criminal
01:27:58element in the post. Is it gendarmerie
01:28:01intelligence personnel? Is it Professor Soner Gökten?
01:28:05Do they know the capital market? I don't
01:28:08know. Look, I
01:28:11don't know. By the way, yesterday,
01:28:15the Bakırköy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office published it. Many
01:28:18important national
01:28:21channels ran wrong headlines. It said, the headline is this: Look at financial
01:28:25literacy. I will talk about legal ignorance.
01:28:28It said that the Bakırköy Public Prosecutor's Office
01:28:32has started to monitor manipulations.
01:28:35Open and read the CMB law, reporters, valuable
01:28:39managers of economy channels, valuable
01:28:42people. The CMB law states that
01:28:46in any crime related to the capital market,
01:28:49it is obligatory for the CMB
01:28:52to apply to the prosecutor's office.
01:28:55Otherwise, the prosecutor's office cannot make arrests
01:28:59related to capital market crimes.
01:29:04The news that came from the Bakırköy Public Prosecutor's Office today, what did
01:29:07it say? What is it investigating? It is investigating
01:29:09the press crimes bureau. Look,
01:29:13the press crimes bureau. Because the CMB,
01:29:17prosecutors, this is a technical job, Ms. Gizem. We talk about
01:29:20merit, right? Merit, knowledge, experience, right?
01:29:23You need to know the capital
01:29:26market. Press crimes, deceiving the public. I'm not
01:29:30getting involved in that. There are two things: either the CMB
01:29:34applied and made arrests, which we understand
01:29:37is not the case, because where is the investigation being conducted?
01:29:41The press crimes bureau. Our journalists,
01:29:45in the guise of, in the guise of economic reporters,
01:29:48pretending to know economics, there was a woman
01:29:52who was formerly a party general vice-chairman, a former party MP,
01:29:55explaining "shaking out." And I said in a broadcast, even in your broadcast,
01:29:59years ago, "Madam, what do you know about shaking out? What do you know
01:30:02about the stock market? Is this your
01:30:05place?" I said, "Is this your place?"
01:30:08She was left like this. Because a journalist looks
01:30:12for clicks, the other one looks for something else.
01:30:16Let's talk about the facts. Soner Bey, speaking of facts,
01:30:19I would like to clarify this point. As we said, I don't want to
01:30:22dwell on a specific company or person, but Trasula
01:30:26announced that it bought after the new regulation. However, this has not
01:30:29been officially completed yet, because this transaction is subject
01:30:32to CMB approval. It has not been approved yet. Is it possible
01:30:36that it will not be approved? And most importantly, will
01:30:39this activity also occur in other portfolio companies and funds?
01:30:43It is subject to the approval of not only the CMB but also the BRSA.
01:30:46Look, one and a half years ago, I
01:30:50was the first to criticize
01:30:54Tera, saying this is not how things should be. But do you know what happened to Tera,
01:30:57Ms. Gizem? I know your education
01:31:00is very good.
01:31:02It happened. Its Turkish equivalent is not to go bankrupt.
01:31:06It became too big to fail. Now everyone is in the same boat,
01:31:10and today, Tera, I'm telling you openly, Tera
01:31:13also has other rumors, from here, I don't
01:31:16want to speculate. Yes, I don't
01:31:19want to, but Tera has now put its hand in the fire.
01:31:23However, the reverse repo transactions, we as experts
01:31:25see them as such. I don't want to say this here,
01:31:29but today Tera... "By doing this, it has
01:31:32prevented a disaster. That is, Emre
01:31:36and Emir have prevented a disaster.
01:31:38Look, let me underline this. Today we are in the same
01:31:42boat. Today we must sit down and think about how
01:31:45to save this business. Hmm hmm. I'm not saying
01:31:48anything to small investors. Because this has turned into
01:31:52a football club. If I were to give you one percent daily
01:31:56return in a virtual computer world, wouldn't
01:32:00you love me, Ms. Gizem?" "
01:32:03"I mean, when I say wouldn't you love me, wouldn't you
01:32:06be interested as a fan? You would. It's necessary
01:32:10to overcome these things and save the current situation. And at the point
01:32:13we have reached today, look, honestly,
01:32:17in the capital markets, I'm telling you openly,
01:32:21no one should be offended, there are very good
01:32:25people in this country.
01:32:27If you exclude these people
01:32:30and put people who don't understand the capital
01:32:33market in this position, this is the point
01:32:36you will reach. So you are talking about the CMB
01:32:39itself. Let me tell you something, it's clearly stated in the law.
01:32:43Yes. Is it legal? It's legal. Actually,
01:32:47the transactions made are legal. That is, the closed fund
01:32:50established, its closed circuit nature and all details are legal.
01:32:53But the part about manipulating the prices afterwards is illegal.
01:32:57No, the law allows for this too. It says you can do it if you are a fund.
01:33:00We call this financial engineering.
01:33:04It says you can do it.
01:33:07This loophole exists. Financial engineering. This happened
01:33:11in America too, and elsewhere too. What needs to be done
01:33:15about this loophole if
01:33:17you wait a year and a half
01:33:20and then come up with a completely nonsensical
01:33:23regulation, then this is what
01:33:26happens. Did the infidel have to say it? Did MSI
01:33:30have to say it? This is, of course, very... I don't want
01:33:33to talk technically too much, but today we are in
01:33:36the same boat. Look, today we are in the same boat. If you allow me,
01:33:40Ms. Gizem, I also want to touch upon
01:33:43the speculations, that
01:33:45he fled abroad. I would be happy if we briefly
01:33:49touched on this, Soner Bey. I will keep it brief.
01:33:52Property rights are protected
01:33:55under the Central Securities Depository. None of the securities
01:33:57in that fund are going anywhere
01:34:01just by waving their hand, okay? They are not going anywhere.
01:34:05And their price is falling because
01:34:08it has to fall. No one should blame
01:34:12those who invested in this. They have no right
01:34:15to say anything today.
01:34:18Look, they have no right today. Nor do they have
01:34:22the right to ask those who won, who left the ship early,
01:34:26why they earned this money.
01:34:27yok,
01:34:30Because unfortunately, in our country,
01:34:33ethical values, authority
01:34:36oversight, and continuous institutional quality improvement
01:34:39processes do not work.
01:34:42It comes to a limit and then it ends. And what happened
01:34:45yesterday, look, I'm going to say something.
01:34:49The chairman of the board of directors of some place
01:34:53fled. These are very dangerous,
01:34:55wrong statements that can completely manipulate
01:34:59those who lack financial literacy and system
01:35:02knowledge. I'm addressing the journalists
01:35:05who write without understanding. You don't understand
01:35:08anything. If that person, let's
01:35:12say, really fled, Ms. Gizem, well, I don't know.
01:35:15You cannot associate his flight with the fund.
01:35:19Because the property right of the fund is different,
01:35:22that is different. If a penalty is to be given for this,
01:35:26the CMB will enforce Article 107 and give it. We are in
01:35:29a completely absurd period. I hope that sane,
01:35:33knowledgeable people will understand. The CMB and currently
01:35:36the BRSA have a very big job to do. Because look, there
01:35:40is a participation bank. There is a participation finance
01:35:44cycle. There are those who approve these.
01:35:48We are going through historic days, but I can say
01:35:51that we are all in the same boat now.
01:35:55I'm talking about a minimum of 30 million people, Ms. Gizem.
01:35:58A minimum of 30 million people. We are in the same
01:36:02boat. We have to speak very carefully. It ended a year
01:36:05and a half ago. You closed my X account, that's it.
01:36:08Today, criticizing, they are talking today,
01:36:12where were you a year and a half ago? You are speaking today.
01:36:15Where were you? I won't
01:36:17name names. This is
01:36:21like the murder of Kaşif Bey. Just as those who spoke
01:36:24then are hiding under the table today,
01:36:28those who didn't speak a year and a half ago are speaking today. Where were
01:36:31you, brother? Those days are over. We are in the same boat
01:36:35and we are in finance. Not just
01:36:38finance. We are in an existential
01:36:41crisis for the economy. Let's sit down and talk about this.
01:36:45I will ask you a question related to that as a final point, because
01:36:49everyone was wondering what would happen today when the markets
01:36:52opened. There was an anxious wait,
01:36:56frankly. As far as I can see, after the CMB's new
01:36:59regulation on calculating free float,
01:37:03the free float rates of 247 companies on Borsa İstanbul
01:37:06decreased in one day, while the rates of 343
01:37:10companies remained stable. The free
01:37:13float rate.
01:37:26Don't get stuck on it, there are others. Will we experience a domino effect
01:37:29in the future? Let's look at that if you like.
01:37:32The free float rate has dropped by about 3%, Ms. Gizem.
01:37:35In the financial community, not
01:37:39only in Turkey but also in the world, these people, excuse
01:37:42me, I apologize, are not stupid. So Warren
01:37:46Buffett is not a stupid person, and the people
01:37:49who do this on Wall Street are not stupid, okay?
01:37:5213, those who do this blindly,
01:37:56it dropped by 3%. In Turkey,
01:38:00how many of the funds that disclose
01:38:03their real ownership can we know? Here,
01:38:07we are winking at MSI. MSI said we are entering the technical field.
01:38:30to do this in the world. I will hide my name.
01:38:33Not even my soul will know that Soner bought it. People are not stupid.
01:38:37The authority, the authority immediately
01:38:40introduces regulations. Financial engineering
01:38:44immediately finds a solution against the authority. This has been
01:38:47going on since 1830. The question we need to ask
01:38:51is this: two questions. Two questions.
01:38:54Where were you a year and a half ago?
01:38:58We said it. Where were the others? Those who are speaking today
01:39:02are coming out, right? What price did they pay?
01:39:05Second, the second basic question: There are 10
01:39:09problematic assets in the market.
01:39:11And all of these 10 assets,
01:39:15all of these 10 assets in the fund,
01:39:18must be held at a certain value. What will we do with
01:39:21these 10 assets? We have two problems.
01:39:24But the problem has grown so much that
01:39:27MSI is issuing regulations so that it doesn't downgrade us to the Frontier market.
01:39:31They are coming out very badly, by the way.
01:39:35They are rule-based. There's no need for them to come out.
01:39:38I don't want to get too technical here. You abolished the free
01:39:41fund, which we call a hedging fund, a fund that needs protection.
01:39:45Why are you abolishing it?
01:39:48You're making it rule-bound. While doing this, I'm saying
01:39:52something to the commentators who think they are economists,
01:39:54to the journalists who think they know about finance
01:39:58and capital markets, to those who have no
01:40:01idea about money and who harm
01:40:04this country from abroad and elsewhere just
01:40:08for clicks: shut up.
01:40:11susun,
01:40:24to get clicks and PR, Ms. Gizem.
01:40:28Professor, I just want to reiterate this part, because
01:40:32I understand what you're saying, but
01:40:35when you answered the first question, you said
01:40:39it's not just about the compass, there are other players too. From
01:40:42that point, will we face things like what we experienced
01:40:46this past weekend in the coming days?
01:40:49Now, there are those who are hurt,
01:40:52those who acted ethically as they should,
01:40:56and are hurt. Who are they? I won't name
01:40:59names, but these are the ones who have been managing the fund
01:41:03as it should be for two years.
01:41:06Do you know what happens, Ms. Gizem?
01:41:10For example, you gave me 100 lira. I am a fund manager.
01:41:13I made you earn 70% annually.
01:41:16What kind of thing is this? Don't you think it's a good thing? I made you
01:41:19earn above inflation. You rested, you traveled, or
01:41:23you stayed at home and watched a movie.
01:41:26Behavioral? We're coming to finance. There's a Nobel prize for that, right?
01:41:30function is there, it's a very bad function, the real academician who is
01:41:34watching me, well, today someone has come out, uh,
01:41:38is he an academician or what, he's marketing his YouTube, ridiculous,
01:41:42I don't want to say it anymore, you
01:41:45can't put us in that situation, brother, you can't make such statements, anyway, I've
01:41:49passed that, behaviorally, 70%
01:41:52is not liked, Ms. Gizem,
01:41:56now you... You are a fund
01:41:59manager who has made 70% and they tell you, what did you do, brother,
01:42:0270%, why didn't you make 100%?
01:42:06How would
01:42:06you feel?
01:42:10I understand the point here, this is what we call behavioral finance, we have become
01:42:14a great laboratory, we have become a great laboratory,
01:42:17uh, let's see
01:42:21what happens, but let me tell you, we are not in the situation
01:42:24we were in a year and a half ago, hm hm, today there are
01:42:28to big to fail situations, I'm not saying this for those who invest
01:42:31there, I'm saying this for the survival of Turkey's financial and economic markets,
01:42:35today it's the exact opposite, we are in the same
01:42:38boat, it's necessary to protect that boat,
01:42:42it's necessary to be calm and prudent, thank
01:42:45you very much, Professor Sonar, for your
01:42:48participation, I also thank you, good broadcast, regards, thank you, same
01:42:52to you, sir, now we will
01:42:56turn to Syria and... "We will say fuel prices,
01:42:59gasoline price hikes in Syria, fuel price hikes are being
01:43:03protested, but it has spread to 7-8 provinces,
01:43:06uh, huge price hikes were made for gasoline
01:43:09and diesel there, the Syrian people, who know
01:43:12very well that the fuel price hikes will spread to transportation,
01:43:16food and basic necessities in a short time, have literally
01:43:20lost their temper.
01:43:24The 40% hike in gasoline and diesel data confirming
01:43:27to the streets.
01:43:32Protests against the fuel price hike intensified in the north and
01:43:35east of the country. Demonstrations broke out in many
01:43:38cities from Raqqa to Deir ez-Zor, from Hasakah to Tabqa.
01:43:42In a short time, they spread
01:43:43throughout the country.
01:43:47In Syria, where a large part of the population currently lives in difficult economic
01:43:51conditions, protesters demanded the withdrawal of the price hikes
01:43:54and the resignation of the Minister of Energy. Public transport. Many
01:43:58drivers shut down their vehicles
01:44:00in protest.
01:44:10They tried to block passage by setting tires on fire, and
01:44:13in some places where transportation came to a standstill,
01:44:17clashes and even conflicts
01:44:20occurred
01:44:21between protesters and security
01:44:26forces. The Damascus administration tried to calm the situation
01:44:30by arguing that the price hikes were temporary. The Ministry
01:44:34of Energy cited tensions in the Middle East causing fuel
01:44:37prices to rise and supply to become more difficult.
01:44:41It was stated that the refinery in Baniyas being shut down for two months
01:44:44caused a decrease in fuel supply to the domestic market
01:44:48and additional imports. Syria imports approximately 60%
01:44:52of the fuel consumed in the country. This is because
01:44:55due to deficiencies in the infrastructure, not all of the crude oil extracted
01:44:59in the country
01:44:59can be converted into
01:45:03products. Now, the war in the Middle East, America attacking Iran,
01:45:07the crisis in Hormuz, and even the Houthis seizing
01:45:11the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, oil prices
01:45:14continue to climb. Here, too, a price hike is expected
01:45:18for diesel as of tomorrow night, and it seems
01:45:21it will reach the 100 lira band. Here are
01:45:23these price hikes in fuel,
01:45:26what happened in Syria has appeared on your screens. We will talk about this. At the same
01:45:30time, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will also have contacts in Syria there.
01:45:34So what is the issue and what caused all these, that is,
01:45:37what caused the fuel and oil prices.
01:45:45Donald Trump announced the date the war
01:45:48will end, we will evaluate these, we are
01:45:51returning to America, our representative Serra Karaçan is with us. Welcome,
01:45:54Serra, good broadcast Gizem, thank you, if you like, let's start
01:45:58with Syria. Yes, actually, we just watched
01:46:02the protest news, what happened after is an important
01:46:06test for the new government, for the interim government, and
01:46:09it's an internal test, not a test from the outside
01:46:13world, from external actors, these are the biggest protests
01:46:16since the transition period, and of course, it's very clear
01:46:20that there's a cost of living shock linked to the impact of the regional
01:46:23war on oil prices,
01:46:26but in Syria, 109% of the population is already
01:46:30struggling with poverty, below the poverty line,
01:46:33so the country has been hit twice
01:46:36as hard by this fuel cost.
01:46:40We are looking at Israeli news sources, of course, in any development related
01:46:44to Syria, especially when there are things that can be
01:46:47provoked, like protests, even though there was no such
01:46:51like to add a note uh, in the news there,
01:46:54uh, in 2025, uh, based on the
01:46:58i24 channel, reported that
01:47:01bullets were fired at protesters, they call them live bullets, which
01:47:04means real bullets, this, uh, news came that the
01:47:08internal security forces, forces affiliated with the Ministry of
01:47:12Interior, opened fire, but on the other hand, there is
01:47:15SDG integration, we were
01:47:29it appears that this was not mentioned,
01:47:32there is a source inconsistency, uh, of course,
01:47:35in the developments in Syria, the fact that Israel
01:47:39needs to be watched is also a reality. As you said, Fidan made a two-day visit
01:47:42to Damascus, he met with the Foreign
01:47:46Minister, he met with President Evşara, and he also met with the Minister of Interior,
01:47:50which is quite important. Besides this, of course, we see
01:47:54that he also met with names such as the Aleppo Member of Parliament
01:47:57of the Syrian People's Assembly, the President of the Turkmen Assembly,
01:48:01and representatives of different groups. Uh, the most important topic,
01:48:05in my opinion, during this visit, was President Erdoğan's
01:48:08upcoming visit to Syria in the near
01:48:11future, which will be the first time. Fidan
01:48:15said that the decisions taken through
01:48:18the high joint committee would be reviewed. Last week,
01:48:21you know, there were discussions in Syria about French
01:48:24being an optional language, and how Turkish would be included
01:48:28in schools. Hakan Fidan had clarified these issues.
01:48:31He said that Turkish would also be an optional course. Of course,
01:48:35when we talk about the increase in fuel prices, let's turn
01:48:38to America, the effects of the regional war
01:48:49diesel, was asked to President Donald Trump on the plane
01:48:52yesterday while returning from Ireland. The question
01:48:55was whether the Russia-Ukraine war or the Iran war
01:48:59would end first. But
01:49:02Trump said, he said, regarding
01:49:05Russia, because we get most of our diesel from Russia,
01:49:09I asked Zelensky not to attack diesel
01:49:12facilities and refineries. He explained that diesel
01:49:16prices are rising due to the difficulty of leaving
01:49:18Russia. He said this is also a situation that harms
01:49:22the world. "He used the phrases, of course, you know,
01:49:26inflation during the Biden era was bad, it was
01:49:30really bad, he came with the promise to fix it, those who voted
01:49:34for him are now being tested with this,
01:49:38of course, we can say that it has globally affected
01:49:40both Syria and the world due to the war. I would
01:49:44I forgot for Syria,
01:49:47there were some incidents of violence
01:49:51against Druze, it was reflected in both UN reports and
01:49:54civil society organizations, after that, it is quite
01:49:57important to follow these
01:50:33statement on Friday, we talked about it on Saturday on Sınırsız,
01:50:37and now, of course, while returning from Ireland on the plane,
01:50:40Iran came back on the agenda in various ways, uh,
01:50:44but the most recent was his statement
01:51:03want to negotiate and they keep calling me. But
01:51:07he used the phrase "I won't say yes
01:51:10to an agreement I don't accept." Of course, he has been saying
01:51:13since day one that oil prices will drop when the war ends, but the war is not ending, it was said
01:51:17it would be a few weeks, it's been 6 months. While all this was being discussed,
01:51:20of course, oil prices were very high. On September
01:51:239, he similarly said the war would end
01:51:26right after the election, but
01:51:29there's something like this, negotiations have stopped,
01:51:33let's remember that, and he says they are calling me, but we see
01:51:37that there is no agreement very close right now. On the other
01:51:40hand, of course, we know that there would be some meetings
01:51:44of Gulf countries in Oman, and these have been postponed. There
01:51:47was a new tension with Saudi Arabia this weekend,
01:51:51uh, some facilities were closed there too, which
01:51:54affects oil. Uh, Iran,
01:51:57when we look at Iran's
01:51:59desperate message,
01:52:02we see Iran. Most recently, the President spoke at a summit
01:52:05in New Delhi, uh, and he said
01:52:08they would not bow to bullying, he said they would resist
01:52:12Israel and America. Both sides therefore continue
01:52:15to present a narrative of weakness
01:52:18that is opposite to each other. Tensions
01:52:22are still high regionally, meaning there are no
01:52:25Trump's optimistic predictions.
01:52:29Especially as you said, attacks on Saudi oil
01:52:32infrastructure, the Houthis' advance, we see that
01:52:35alternatives in maritime trade routes are also
01:52:39in trouble. Uh, that's why, uh, it is reported
01:52:41that President Trump is being tried
01:52:45to be persuaded to adopt a strategy
01:52:48that will prevent the war from escalating further. An alternative
01:52:53development path, Karataş, which Turkey is also a part of. It
01:52:56is very important for Syria's stability when an alternative
01:52:59is sought in Hormuz. Yesterday in Ireland, at the residence
01:53:03of the American Ambassador,
01:53:20phrase. With the Iran war, we always talk
01:53:23about how Iran was successful with its cheap unmanned aerial
01:53:27vehicles, and in return, America's expensive ammunition
01:53:30stocks are running out. He emphasized that cheaper
01:53:34alternatives are being sought for slower missiles,
01:53:38and he said that laser will be the technology of the future.
01:53:41You know, Turkey was negotiating for Patriots for
01:53:45air defense, but because this didn't happen, they bought S400s,
01:53:48but here too, new technologies are being discussed.
01:53:51Serra, we have 3 minutes. I actually
01:53:55wanted to talk about artificial intelligence too, can I quickly get
01:53:58that from you? Of course, uh, last week, you know,
01:54:02there was a resignation from Antropic due to concerns that artificial
01:54:05intelligence could take over humanity and get out of control,
01:54:09and it was emphasized that in a few
01:54:13cases where it was released for the development of artificial
01:54:16intelligence, it was involved in two separate hacks,
01:54:19therefore it couldn't be trusted. The CEO of Antropic also issued
01:54:35a new warning. A few weeks ago, he published an article. If China
01:54:38does not slow down, there is concern that they will fall
01:54:41behind in the competition. Trump was asked this on the plane yesterday,
01:54:45and he said he also uses artificial intelligence. When asked what
01:54:49functions he uses it for, he said you can do a lot
01:54:52with artificial intelligence, and he did not explain
01:54:56what he uses it for. Of course, perhaps his assistants
01:54:59use it. But the phrases "whoever wins
01:55:03in artificial intelligence will win the world" especially drew attention. Currently,
01:55:06the United States is trying to get ahead in artificial
01:55:10intelligence technology by taking some risks and
01:55:12postponing regulations
01:55:32American public's agenda. You know, previously, a technology
01:55:36company that had an artificial intelligence agreement with the
01:55:40Pentagon had refused to give all of its artificial
01:55:43intelligence capabilities to the Department of Defense,
01:55:48be misused in wartime situations. After this, they had declared
01:55:52that company a national security risk. Now, the company
01:55:56has been found right in court, of course, this decision can be overturned
01:55:59by the higher court, it's not final yet, but
01:56:03we can say that it affects all
01:56:13areas. Good broadcast, thank you, sir, now we briefly mentioned Russia-Ukraine, uh, more through
01:56:17fuel prices. Russia targeted railway infrastructure
01:56:20in its recent attacks on Ukraine, but who
01:56:24else was in that target? Some important European political
01:56:27officials and politicians
01:56:30who were visiting Ukraine were there, and it
01:56:33turned out that they narrowly
01:56:35escaped the attack.
01:56:41The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that they hit some
01:56:44railway lines and trains in their attacks
01:56:48on Ukraine over the weekend. The ministry claimed that these lines
01:56:51were used to transport military cargo from European
01:56:54countries.
01:56:58It was true that the wagons were going back and forth to Europe,
01:57:01but some of them did not contain cargo, but important
01:57:08European passengers. It was announced that Boris Johnson,
01:57:12former Prime Minister of the UK, and Carbilt passed through
01:57:15the same spot in another train 15 minutes before one
01:57:19of the trains was hit. It turned out that the duo, who attended
01:57:22a conference in Kyiv and were preparing to leave Ukraine, narrowly
01:57:26escaped the attack that took place just 800 meters from
01:57:28the Polish border.
01:57:46was at a train station nearby during
01:57:49the incident.
01:57:54On the other hand, Ukrainian officials announced that the
01:57:58passengers on the train whose locomotive was hit were evacuated
01:58:01when the Russian UAV was detected, and there were no deaths or injuries
01:58:08in the incident. Since the start of the Russian
01:58:11invasion in 2022, railways have become the main
01:58:15means of transportation for Ukraine due to the suspension
01:58:17of all air travel.
01:58:24Dear viewers, with this news, we have come to the end of our time,
01:58:27we are concluding. Hopefully, we will meet at the same time tomorrow.
01:58:31Eco Ünar will be with you for Halk Anahaber. Good evening.
01:58:48To make the unheard heard, to say the unsaid,
01:58:52to show the unseen.
01:59:20Every weekday morning from 7 to 10,
01:59:23while Turkey wakes up, we will
01:59:26be together in this studio.
01:59:48"Good morning, my dear Turkey, welcome, you bring honor, it's September
01:59:5215, 2026, Tuesday, you are
01:59:55on Halk TV screens, the clock shows 6, I am
01:59:59Gökhan Kayış, welcome to the hour where we will convey
02:00:02everything our esteemed news center has prepared,
02:00:05with its hot news,
02:00:25with Seferihisar, sir, I want to make a very quick entry, because
02:00:29there is hot information and hot images.
02:00:32In İzmir Menderes, you know, 47 names
02:00:35were detained in connection with a bribery
02:00:38operation. A detention warrant was issued for 48
02:00:42people in the bribery investigation carried out against the Seferihisar
02:00:46Municipality. In the operation conducted on Friday, September
02:00:4911, 47 people were detained, and
02:00:52it was reported that efforts to apprehend one person were ongoing,
02:00:56it was said that this person was abroad, if
02:00:59I remember correctly, all of those detained,
02:01:02after their procedures at the police station were completed, were transferred to the courthouse
02:01:06in the morning with extensive security measures. Now,
02:01:09after their interrogations at the prosecutor's
02:01:12office, these 47 names, the 47 detained names,
02:01:16you know, the mayor of Seferihisar also changed by proxy
02:01:20and went to the AK Party, here too, there was
02:01:24a serious debate about it, and today,
02:01:27for 47 names, uh,
02:01:29we will see if a request for arrest will be made
02:01:33after the prosecutor's interrogation for all of them or
02:01:36for certain names, that will be one of the topics we will
02:01:39report in our broadcasts in the coming
02:01:42hours, sir.
02:01:44efendim.
02:01:49Operations and hot topics, I guess we've gotten used to them, for a long
02:01:53time there have been operations against municipalities,
02:01:56against district municipalities, and Turkey is moving step
02:02:00by step towards the general election, and in people's minds,
02:02:03is Turkey still a democracy, authoritarian democracy, no election
02:02:07democracy and so on, many things are being talked about, but
02:02:11the emotions of a government that tries to convince
02:02:14even district municipalities and is so determined
02:02:17even for a district municipality with all the resources
02:02:21of the state, regarding the general elections, really
02:02:25confuses all of us. Let's quickly look at our headlines,
02:02:28my dear director will also send the link, what's on the agenda
02:02:32for Tuesday, September 15, 2026? We start with Nefes Newspaper,
02:02:35yesterday little first graders, hardworking second graders,
02:02:39an army of 17 million students and 1.2 million
02:02:43teachers, an education army, went out to their schools,
02:02:46some hungry,
02:03:04for 185 lira in line for a lifetime,
02:03:07it says. Now, this sentence
02:03:10is always used, "I would be a slave for 40 years
02:03:13to anyone who teaches me a letter," and from "I would be a slave for 40 years
02:03:17to anyone who teaches me a letter," to sweep... to the point of sweeping, sweeping, sweeping our protesting
02:03:21teachers, I don't even want to say it, but you know what
02:03:25is swept, sir. The question of how we got to this point
02:03:28is our headline in Nefes Newspaper, where we will discuss
02:03:31what opportunities the state offers to 100 thousand
02:03:35contracted teachers like an unregistered business.
02:03:38And there's this photo, my dear friend, I don't know if you
02:03:42can show it, maybe we'll show it when it's bigger, but look at this security measure
02:03:46being taken. "The lady is searching the
02:03:49student, meaning we are also exposing
02:03:52the children, we always have trouble finding the balance,
02:03:56sir. Let's say a gun was found in this bag,
02:03:59what will this private security guard do? I mean, it's been
02:04:02said 40 times that specialist sergeants are waiting for appointments,
02:04:35look into this, a terrible news from Sivas and
02:04:39Evrensel. The small news next to the headline
02:04:42is actually its complement, under the headline "Nobody is Safe,"
02:04:46today there are LGBTI operations. "operations against street gangs
02:04:50related to children, there is such a chaos
02:04:54around, but among
02:04:56this chaos, the banning
02:05:00of some internet addresses." If we had put a headline today, we could have said
02:05:04"banned," access ban on our newspaper's
02:05:06X account, why was Evrensel
02:05:10newspaper's social media account banned? Why
02:05:13was the social media account of Ali İsmail Korkmaz Foundation
02:05:16banned? Amidst many bans,
02:05:19we are facing a government that talks
02:05:22about democracy. Bülent Arıç has an answer. Here,
02:05:26there is a criticism directed at Oktay Saral,
02:05:30the palace and its entourage, and the people
02:05:33living in that region, the president doesn't say everything,
02:05:36some people say it on his behalf,
02:05:39the answer is here now. Bülent Arınç made a long statement
02:05:43and completed this statement by praising Recep
02:05:46Tayyip Erdoğan throughout, but the Oktay Saral
02:05:50criticism he made at the end is it directed at the Palace,
02:05:53or at Oktay Saral, or at the Presidency? We will
02:05:56discuss that all together. The footsteps of the local
02:06:00geliyor efendim, nereden anlıyorsunuz derseniz,
02:06:03cumhurbaşkanı TRT ekranlarında daha çok görünüyor
02:06:06sanki.
02:06:09Dünya diplomasisinin öncü lideri geliyor. Bakın işte
02:06:12verdiğimiz veriler, ekonomik veriler, faize ayrılan para,
02:06:15insanların durumu, adalet durumu,
02:06:18demokrasi durumu. Türkiye'de seçim zorunluluktur. O yüzden
02:06:49leader of world diplomacy is coming. Look, the data we
02:06:51and the timing, whether President Erdoğan will be a candidate
02:06:55again is also a
02:06:56matter of debate.
02:07:30he said it would be. They say April, May or a week, this is not something
02:07:34that will happen, he says, what will we do for him to be a candidate for the third
02:07:37time? They say we will hold the elections 3 days, 4 days, a week earlier.
02:07:41This is to overthrow the constitution. The new party leader Özgür
02:07:44Özel gave his early election message at the Üsküdar rally
02:07:48for the last time. Özel shared a part of his speech
02:07:51at the rally as a video on his social media account. The lines
02:07:55have now become clear, the election
02:07:58will be with democrats.
02:08:19The game is broken, all over Turkey,
02:08:23now I want to give the good news to the listeners,
02:08:25that it is time for
02:08:28all democrats
02:08:30to come together, there is torment in separation,
02:08:33and mercy
02:08:34in unity.
02:08:39I always thought that, sir, and when these news often came to the agenda
02:08:42in recent years, one gets
02:08:46this feeling, at least I do,
02:08:50of course, may Allah grant them all a very long life,
02:08:54we cannot say
02:08:56anything else, of course, Mr. Devlet Bahçeli and Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,
02:09:00may they have very long lives, may they have very healthy lives,
02:09:03with their grandchildren, their families, may they have a good life,
02:09:07a long life, but it's as if
02:09:10they are behaving as if if someone leaves that seat,
02:19:02party name has also become a problem," he said, and
02:19:06Mr. Murat Emir responded to this yesterday
02:19:09evening on Halk TV. It was Gökmen Bey's program, if I remember
02:19:12correctly. The new party faced a name similarity crisis
02:19:16before entering the congress process. The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office of the Supreme Court of Appeals
02:19:19sent a notification to the new party to change its name
02:19:23upon the application of the innovation party. While
02:19:27political backstage was buzzing,
02:51:31Everyone's dream is to own a house to call their own
02:51:34after working for years. In the past, it was possible
02:51:37to buy a house with a retirement bonus. However,
02:51:40this is becoming more difficult over the years. Today, a retirement
02:51:43bonus is not even enough for a house or a car. We asked the public,
02:51:46"What is the most you can buy with a retirement bonus today?
02:51:50What is it enough for?" "Nothing can be bought,
02:51:53nothing at all. Both the worker and the retiree are miserable.
02:51:57We cannot buy anything of high material value, you cannot buy real estate,
02:52:01you cannot buy a car. What could you do with it? Maybe make a down payment,
02:52:04or it could be for a small investment. Nothing else. Now, nothing can be bought,
02:52:08not even a car. I miss the old days. How good
02:52:12it was before! We can't even buy and eat two or three types
02:52:15of fruit. That's what I do. What can I do, my daughter? Manage.
02:52:19If you don't manage, we'll lose our way home, my daughter, what can we do?
02:52:23It's not enough for anything, it's not enough for anything.
02:52:26We are still working at this age. I collect paper, I collect things
02:52:30from markets. You used to buy a house, you used to buy a car.
02:52:34People used to wonder, 'Oh, I wish I could retire.'
02:52:38Now, money has become a bitter memory. May God help our future.
02:52:41One simit is 25 liras. Calculate it, you can't even buy
02:52:45a simit. I wish it was 10 liras, 5 liras. I am 69
02:52:48years old. A house could be bought for 10 liras once. Now
02:52:52it's 10 liras." "May God bless those with children,
02:52:54they could become homeowners. In the past, people could buy
02:52:57houses,
02:52:59they could buy cars with their retirement bonuses, they could at least
02:53:02make an investment. But unfortunately,
02:53:06that's not possible now.
02:53:09I mean, they either go on a family vacation, or for a month.
02:53:11Since I have a retirement salary, I go to the city's
02:53:15public dining hall right now. I ate and came back, may God bless
02:53:18those who invented them. He said, 'I tolerate
02:53:21my son's clothes.' I make do with my son's clothes.
02:53:24Maybe for investment, a little dollar or gold, and put it aside,
02:53:28and try to make a living from its interest.
02:53:32Girl, you've already paid the money to her.
02:53:35For years, in rain, snow, and winter, you paid
02:53:38that money to her. So, give them something
02:53:42so they can relax. Nothing will happen. You can't buy
02:53:45a car, not even a small
02:53:47junk car now."
02:55:34without saying much or little, donate to Darüşşafaka,
02:55:37so our children can have a bright future through education.
02:56:17News of price increases and decreases for fuel
02:56:20are coming, citizens are confused. Their heads are spinning. Tracking
02:56:24fuel prices is harder than tracking the stock market.
02:56:27Now, getting the timing right is also important. So we asked the public,
02:56:30"When and according to what do you decide to fill
02:56:34your tank?" Well, in Turkey, we can't really
02:56:38decide that, because it's volatile every day.
02:56:41Now, when the fuel is at the bottom, we buy it when it's at the bottom.
02:56:44I mean, as much as our money is enough,
02:56:47according to my needs or my pocket. Most of all...
02:56:51göre en çok da...
02:57:05it might be easier to follow, because why? The screens are always in front
02:57:09of your eyes, but it's not like that here. Here, will you follow
02:57:12the road, or will you follow the labels
02:57:16on the road? These are big problems. When my tank is empty,
02:57:19I have to fill it up. We don't look at price increases or decreases.
02:57:23But when there's a discount, that's our loss. For example,
02:57:26I filled my tank now, but if there's
02:57:29a discount tonight, I'll lose money, that's what I mean. We can't
02:57:32keep up with the prices anymore, because they change every day. They reduce it,
02:57:36then they increase it, there's no stability in the country. Those discounts don't affect
02:57:40me at all. I'll buy 50 liters of fuel,
02:57:44and it will make a 200 lira difference, but my tank that used to cost 1500 liras
02:57:47to fill, now costs 4500 liras. A 200 lira discount
02:57:51won't affect me at all. We always keep our tanks full,
02:57:54but the prices are high, of course. Well,
02:57:58my car is both gasoline and LPG.
02:58:01I've cancelled the gasoline, I mean, fuel is too expensive.
02:58:05LPG is also expensive. In some places it's 30 liras, in some places
02:58:09it's 35 liras, that's how it goes. I don't know, I buy and use LPG. But it's very harmful
02:58:12to the engine. What can you do, you have to. They're making fun
02:58:16of it. Today they increase the price, 3 days later,
02:58:20you look and they say there's a discount. What's the point?
02:58:24It will come again in 3 days. No need, I think.
02:58:27This is an election investment, a gimmick,
02:58:30a show.

03:00:05remind you that you will see it in our headlines shortly, you will see it
03:00:09as our first headline, in fact, almost, uh,
03:00:11diesel fuel has been increased, so that's why today, after many price increases,
03:00:15after many problems, we said "bill", where are the bills
03:00:18being cut, to whom are they being issued, to which of us are they being issued, what
03:00:22is the size of the bill, what is its magnitude?
