00:00:00Karatepe, welcome.
00:00:04The incident occurred on the Istanbul-Izmir highway in the Akhisar region.
00:00:07While cruising, a tour bus collided with a truck loaded with logs.
00:00:11Upon the notification of bystanders, a large number of health, fire, police, and
00:00:15AFAD teams were dispatched to the region.
00:00:18In the accident, many people lost their lives and were injured.
00:00:21yaralandı.
00:00:25According to eyewitnesses, the driver of the tour bus, which was reportedly going to Pamukkale district of Denizli,
00:00:29missed the Akhisar Junction.
00:00:32In order to turn back to the junction he missed,
00:00:36the driver started to maneuver backwards on the highway. It was stated that a truck traveling in the same direction
00:00:39hit the bus while the bus was moving backwards.
00:00:42An investigation into the accident has been launched.
00:00:46Prosecutors conducted an investigation at the scene.
00:00:49An arrest warrant was issued for both drivers.
00:00:52verildi.
00:00:59Now, of course, the opposition's number one agenda item is the fund scandal.
00:01:03The new party leader, Özgür Özel, describes the situation
00:01:06as "this fund crisis has spoiled the chemistry of the government."
00:01:09Today, his stop was in Bursa.
00:01:12The priority on Bursa's agenda
00:01:15was again the fund issue.
00:01:18He said, "Come on, announce this list.
00:01:21Not announcing it can lead to entirely different slanders
00:01:25and lies." He also had something to say
00:01:29to the Ministry of Justice.
00:01:31"The government's chemistry has been spoiled by the fund crisis,
00:01:35and it is clear who is bothering them
00:01:38about this fund crisis. The hiding of these names, which pave the way for lies and slander,
00:01:41and their use in power struggles within the AKP.
00:01:45Many lists are circulating. Politicians are trying to verify these names.
00:01:48We did not announce the names without verifying them.
00:01:51There was only one person with the same name as Minister Mahinur Göktaş's father.
00:01:55We apologize for that, but is the right to be untainted only for AKP politicians?
00:01:58The cure for the right to be untainted is transparency.
00:02:01All photos from the mobile phone of a person not involved in the investigation
00:02:05are being served. While this is the case when you are in the opposition, when you are an AKP member,
00:02:09our friends say 'let them not be tainted'." Özel's latest statement regarding the fund crisis.
00:02:12Özel, who said "many lists are circulating,"
00:02:16stated that the concealment of the lists paved the way for lies and slanders.
00:02:20He also answered the question of whether the lists would be announced
00:02:23after the deadline given to Erdoğan until Monday. "There are important names from the AKP.
00:02:26It is important to verify these names, it is possible that wrong names are being served knowingly.
00:02:30We announce what we have verified.
00:02:33It is the government's responsibility to announce the entire list. Claims that the Ministry of Justice bureaucracy is also involved at a high level
00:02:37açıklamak. Bu işin içinde Adalet Bakanlığı bürokrasinin de üst düzeyde var
00:02:41increase concerns about this issue. Özel, speaking to Cumhuriyet,
00:02:44reacted once again to the voluntary return account opened
00:02:48regarding the fund crisis. "They have opened an atonement account,
00:02:51saying 'leave your sins here'. This is unacceptable.
00:02:54There are names that they themselves have leaked. Some people working with pseudonyms in the Ministry of Justice
00:02:58are doing such things by managing internal party operations. Mahi Nur Hanım probably now understands
00:03:02the other sons and fathers, they have been doing this to Hasan İmamoğlu for a year and a half.
00:03:06They dug up the garden of his house in the village. His retirement pension is in arrears, his account is frozen.
00:03:09We invite Mahinur Hanım
00:03:13to family solidarity. Let her see those who have been suffering for months
00:03:16the injustice that her father experienced for 10 minutes.
00:03:17görsün.
00:03:23Actually, the whole discussion started with the Minister of Justice, Mr. Gürlek, saying
00:03:27"we have a list of 214 people
00:03:30who earned a record 87 billion liras."
00:03:34The opposition said, "Well, that's great, then
00:03:37please disclose this list, enlighten the public."
00:03:41AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Özlem Zengin said,
00:03:44"I will sign it, I am in favor of its disclosure," but she could not attend
00:03:48the next parliamentary meeting as group deputy chairman.
00:03:51The main discussion on this matter was initiated by AK Party
00:03:54Group Deputy Chairman
00:03:57Abdullah Güler. He referred to Article 8,
00:04:00which is the presumption of innocence, which is the right to be untainted.
00:04:04The opposition said, "How nice,
00:04:07we have started to speak the same language, we have been talking about this
00:04:11since March 19: the right to be untainted,
00:04:14the presumption of innocence." And so, naturally,
00:04:18such a polemic has started.
00:04:21In the fund scandal, there is now a polemic
00:04:24of "untaintedness"
00:04:28between the government and the opposition.
00:04:31"We will never allow slanderers
00:04:35in politician's clothing to carry out summary executions.
00:04:37We will not tolerate
00:04:41dirty methods, slander, and
00:04:44discrediting campaigns being used against
00:04:48our cadres. All thieves are registered
00:04:52eyvallah demeyiz. Hırsızların tamamı merkezi
00:04:55in the central registry, the one appointing is AKP, the one appointed
00:04:59is AKP. "The one stealing is AKP, the one being stolen from is AKP.
00:05:02When it comes to the AKP gang of thieves, the right to be untainted,
00:05:06what a shame, you are unfortunately
00:05:09tainting honest, honorable, and dignified people."
00:05:13Don't do this, the presumption of innocence is fundamental, Article 38 of the Constitution.
00:05:17We are not accusing anyone,
00:05:20but we are pursuing whoever committed
00:05:24what crime with their actions Those who ignore the thousands of criminal complaints
00:05:27we filed against the slanders thrown at us for months shamelessly talk about the right to be untainted,
00:05:31and also, when it comes to you,
00:05:34did the right to be untainted come to your mind? Whatever you do,
00:05:37your filth has been exposed, the swindle of the century, the fund robbery has been revealed.
00:05:41The nation sees everything, the answer is at the ballot box.
00:05:44Those who are innocent already benefit from the presumption of innocence,
00:05:48and when those who are guilty are identified as a result of the joint work
00:05:52of the treasury and the judiciary,
00:05:56the necessary price will be paid, and the necessary
00:06:00punishment processes will begin. The New Party's announcement of the AKP members involved in the fund
00:06:04initiated a polemic of "untaintedness"
00:06:07between the government and the opposition. While AKP members
00:06:10talked about the right to be untainted, the opposition
00:06:14reminded of the investigations against municipalities. "If the New Party, the New Party,
00:06:17as they always say, if the New Party members had done this,
00:06:21at 6 AM, the entire list of 270 people
00:06:24and all their relatives
00:06:28would have been detained and would now be on trial under arrest.
00:06:31Until now, you have disregarded the personal rights
00:06:35of everyone who is in opposition. You have disregarded their families,
00:06:38their honor, their dignity, their social lives, their jobs, their livelihoods,
00:06:42their food. "You have not refrained from any discourse or action that is not native.
00:06:45Do you think it is easy to go to the afterlife carrying this burden on your shoulders?
00:06:48We attach importance to the presumption of innocence,
00:06:52we attach importance to the right to defense. Do not accuse
00:06:55everyone openly in a way that will affect
00:06:59their honor and dignity. When it comes to
00:07:02government officials, the presumption of innocence and the right to be untainted
00:07:05come to the fore. A political lynching campaign is being attempted.
00:07:09We will not allow this. Especially,
00:07:12"Our President is our red line. With all our organizations,
00:07:15we are moving to the highest level
00:07:18of struggle against this attack
00:07:22on our President, our party, and our cabinet. We are in a tight spot,
00:07:26we will attack at the highest level," they say. "The best defense is offense," they say.
00:07:29"Anyway, the judge is ours, the prosecutor is ours, the police are ours,
00:07:32the gendarmerie is ours,"
00:07:33they say.
00:07:37Meanwhile, the fund scandal is expanding,
00:07:41and the investigation is being broadened as it expands. According to the statement from the Ministry of Justice,
00:07:43within the scope of this investigation,
00:07:47the assets and accounts of 6 people
00:07:50Among the owners of the seized accounts and protected assets
00:07:54is the wife of singer Mustafa Sandal.
00:07:58Now, there was a deputy minister, Mr. Aksu,
00:08:01as you know. We discussed him on the program last night. He is said to have lost 100 million liras.
00:08:05He said, "Yes, it's true, I lost it,
00:08:09but the money is not important. What bothers me,
00:08:13what makes me angry, is being made a fool of."
00:08:16He might be right. This time he was asked a question,
00:08:20and it was said, "Okay, you might be angry not about the money being lost
00:08:24but about being made a fool of," in quotes, of course.
00:08:27"So, what is the source of this money?"
00:08:30There is no clear statement
00:08:33about that source yet.
00:08:34yok.
00:08:38The fund investigation continues, the assets of 6 people have been seized.
00:08:41The decision was approved by the Istanbul 4th Criminal Court of Peace.
00:08:44onandı.
00:08:48Accordingly, the assets of Abdullah Yusuf Yarız, Cihan Süçurup, Mustafa Sandal's
00:08:51wife Melis Sandal, Jeremy Etiğin D-Post, İsmet Öğüt, and Hasan
00:08:55Peker were seized. The bank accounts and company shares
00:08:59of the people on the list were frozen.
00:09:02Vehicles and real estate were seized. Former Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Forestry,
00:09:06AKP member Mustafa Aksu, was also among the names
00:09:10that came to the fore during the fund investigation process. Aksu, who is claimed to have lost 100 million liras,
00:09:13spoke to Nefes Newspaper. He gave an evasive answer to the question of where he found the 100 million.
00:09:17He said, "I am an industrialist and a businessman,
00:09:20where I found the money is recorded. I resigned from the deputy ministry because I am a businessman and industrialist."
00:09:24sanayici olmam nedeniyle bakan yardımcılığından ayrıldım
00:09:27Aksu also stated that his father is an industrialist of 55 years,
00:09:31one of the top 500, a tax record holder, implying that his financial savings came from his family.
00:09:34He also stated this.
00:09:36getirdi.
00:09:40Mustafa Aksu did not give a clear answer to the question of what he based his fund investment on.
00:09:44He said, "I had gone to the bank, the employee there directed me."
00:09:47Aksu, who said his loss was not as much as 100 million liras,
00:09:51did not give
00:09:52a precise amount.
00:09:55The fund investigation also created an entirely different judicial agenda.
00:09:59As you know, a judicial process was initiated against four journalists
00:10:03who followed the fund investigation. Mustafa Balcı,
00:10:06journalist Şaban Sevinç, and journalist were arrested
00:10:09and sent to prison. First, they were released
00:10:19with a judicial control measure, then with the news that came in the morning.
00:10:23ardından sabahına gelen haberle.
00:10:25"The information was shared that this measure would be used as house arrest.
00:10:28Okay, the Mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality,
00:10:32Ekrem İmamoğlu, reacted
00:10:36That reaction came with a question.
00:10:39"Are you that
00:10:41scared?"
00:10:46Journalists Şaban Sevinç and Mustafa Balcı were arrested.
00:10:50House arrest was decided for Murat Ağrel and İsmail Saymaz.
00:10:54All four journalists had the fund investigation and the crisis
00:10:57on their agenda. Arrested IBB President and Presidential candidate
00:11:01Ekrem İmamoğlu also reacted to the government
00:11:04with a statement he made after the judicial decisions against journalists.
00:11:08"Spreading misleading information publicly."
00:11:11This has been the most useful phrase for the government recently.
00:11:14For this reason, many journalists have been tried to be silenced.
00:11:18Journalists Şaban Sevinç and Mustafa Balcı were the last journalists to be arrested.
00:11:21The reason was asking questions about a circulating photo.
00:11:25You answer the questions and move on. What is this
00:11:28fear?
00:11:31İmamoğlu also brought up the house arrest decision given for Murat Ağral and İsmail Saymaz.
00:11:35He touched upon the discussions about the right to be untainted.
00:11:38The reason is again the same. Publicly spreading misleading information.
00:11:42Those who ignored the thousands of criminal complaints we filed against the slanders thrown at us for months
00:11:45shamelessly talk about the right to be untainted.
00:11:49And when it comes to you, did the right to be untainted come to your mind?
00:11:52Whatever you do. "Your filth has been exposed,
00:11:56the swindle of the century, the fund robbery has been revealed.
00:11:59The nation sees everything, the answer
00:12:01is at the ballot box.
00:12:05A reaction regarding the right to be untainted also came from Ekrem İmamoğlu's wife, Dilek İmamoğlu.
00:12:08She requested the protection of the presumption of innocence and the right to be untainted.
00:12:12We are not saying that no one should be tried,
00:12:15we say that laws should be applied, evidence should speak, everyone should be fairly tried.
00:12:19Which of these is a privilege? Why is the law not applied to everyone
00:12:22in the same way? The presumption of innocence, the right to be untainted,
00:12:25for whom is it valid?
00:12:28Is the Constitution applied according to person, office, political view?
00:12:32We want equality, not privilege. We want the same justice for everyone,
00:12:36not double standards in law.
00:12:38istiyoruz.
00:12:43The fund scandal is the common agenda not only of the New Party, but of all opposition parties
00:12:47that have a group in the parliament. Uğur Poyraz,
00:12:50Deputy Chairman of the Good Party Group, one of the influential figures of the opposition
00:12:54and also Antalya Deputy,
00:12:57made a speech of approximately 2-2.5 minutes in Parliament.
00:13:00His messages were very clear but effective.
00:13:04He said, "The country has been defrauded, and they are still waiting for instructions from the president
00:13:07to investigate the matter."
00:13:11A communication campaign is being carried out. "Our President is very angry about this issue."
00:13:14Okay. "Our President is very saddened by this issue,"
00:13:18okay. "He gave instructions for the necessary actions to be taken regarding those responsible."
00:13:21That's also okay. From the CMB to the Ministry of Justice,
00:13:25everyone, including all units, has started their sentences this time like this: "With the instructions and determination of our President..."
00:13:28Brother, don't you have
00:13:31regulations? Don't you have laws? Are you obliged
00:13:35to receive instructions from an authority regarding what you should and should not do?
00:13:38The country has been defrauded, citizens have been defrauded,
00:13:41the Turkish economy has been ruined, everything built in the international arena
00:13:45has been destroyed.
00:13:48What instructions are you still waiting for? Are you doing things with instructions?
00:13:51Then what is the meaning of your powers, the powers regulated in that law?
00:13:55I am addressing all politicians and bureaucrats who refer to instructions.
00:13:58If you are waiting for instructions
00:14:02to investigate something, you must analyze well where this sentence leads.
00:14:05Then it means that you received an instruction
00:14:09when these misdeeds, these frauds were being committed.
00:14:12You must analyze where the sentences that come out of your mouth go. You must analyze well
00:14:16with what discretion you sat in those offices.
00:14:20You must analyze well that the offices are state offices.
00:14:23An effective speech.
00:14:26Uğur Poyraz, Deputy Chairman of the Good Party Group,
00:14:29also reacted to the situation by holding the Constitution booklet
00:14:32due to his legal background. Now let's move on
00:14:35to other hot topics in politics.
00:14:39Of course, we will continue to delve deeper into the fund scandal in the second hour.
00:14:42We will continue to ask our questions on behalf of the public.
00:14:46After that, of course,
00:14:49the people will decide, as always. What kind of news do we make
00:14:52in 24 hours, I wonder? Some people are bothered
00:14:55by the news made,
00:14:58that is, you are actually saying something to the viewers of a television channel
00:15:02that millions of people clearly make number one, with your words,
00:15:06who understood what I just said
00:15:09to whom, those who needed to understand, understood.
00:15:13We ask our questions on behalf of the public, for the public good.
00:15:15Whether you like it or not, we won't be able to know that,
00:15:19and we won't be able to consider it, excuse me. Now we move on,
00:15:23as I said, to other political topics.
00:16:45October 10th was set as the date. The CHP's candidate was Cafer Parlak,
00:16:49the People's Alliance candidate was Muhammet Çakır.
00:16:51Çakırdı.
00:16:53While the Eyüpsultan Municipal Council went to the polls to elect
00:16:57its new deputy speaker, the municipal building was surrounded by police and riot control vehicles.
00:17:00Journalists
00:17:03were not allowed into the municipal building.
00:17:44In the second round, both the AKP and CHP candidates received 18 votes each.
00:17:47One of the AKP's votes was counted as invalid, the AKP objected to the invalid vote,
00:17:51the chairman rejected it. "5 of our friends
00:17:53were forced to vote for that side by threats."
00:17:57In the 4th round, the CHP candidate received 19 votes, and the AKP candidate received 16 votes. votes.
00:18:01aldı.
00:18:07The municipality remained with the CHP. The AKP announced that they would object to the election.
00:18:10"We claim that this election
00:18:13was won 19-18 by our AK Party and the People's Alliance
00:18:17candidate Mr. Muhammet Çakır."
00:18:20"We will swiftly launch our legal battle, dear friends."
00:18:23arkadaşlar.
00:18:28Now Eyüpsultan Municipality remained with the CHP.
00:18:31The AK Party objected. If the objection is evaluated
00:18:35and the execution is suspended and the election is renewed,
00:18:37there are those who say that
00:18:46the transitions to the AK Party are due to the AK Party being a center of attraction.
00:18:50One of them is our President.
00:18:53Of course, key figures also use the same expressions.
00:18:56One of them is Deputy Chairman Hasan Basri
00:18:59Yalçın, who appeared on CNN Türk television
00:19:03last night, or rather, the night before.
00:19:06He said that the municipality was a reference,
00:19:09he said something like, "Even after Izmir passed to the AK Party,
00:19:13many other municipalities want to pass to the AK Party.
00:19:17Izmir was important for us," he said,
00:19:20and he also said that another metropolitan municipality was next in line.
00:19:24He didn't give a name, he said, "You'll hear about it soon." The moderator he was with asked,
00:19:27"Ankara or Balıkesir?" He said, "I'm not giving a name, you'll learn soon anyway."
00:19:31Of course, we'll learn anyway, it's not important what the voter thinks there,
00:19:34what their preference is, it's not important for us.
00:19:38After meetings are held with the public, with the voters,
00:19:41we will all learn. Okay, up to here it's good, but
00:19:44there are reactions from politicians as well as social opposition
00:19:48against this situation. One of the names is Good Party Deputy Chairman Erhan
00:19:52Usta. Do you expect
00:19:55prominent names, other names
00:19:58to pass? I do.
00:20:01From very prominent names, yes I do. Like Mansur Yavaş.
00:20:04I'm not going to say that. It's a great disrespect to the will of the voter.
00:20:08Turkey has become a regime that uses the law a little
00:20:12from the edges to forcibly take
00:20:15what people have not given, what they have not chosen.
00:20:19There is a metropolitan municipality next. I can say that much.
00:20:22We will see it as soon as possible, hopefully.
00:20:25These things, for example, in the past, people would be a little
00:20:29ashamed, embarrassed, or they would try to find
00:20:32some excuses or something. Now there is no such thing.
00:20:36There is no shame left in that sense. They acted as if this was very normal.
00:20:40I predict that soon,
00:20:44especially when they see the example of Izmir.
00:20:48"Many mayors
00:20:50may show even more favor to the AK Party."
00:20:54Our President also states this openly. "Our doors are open
00:20:57to those who want to come to us, who want to join us."
00:21:00It's as if they are transferring football players. We don't know what kind of treatment
00:21:04they are giving to mayors, of course, are they being threatened, what is being done,
00:21:08are people being intimidated? Such transfers are being made,
00:21:11and wherever they take them, there are shouts
00:21:14of victory. It is truly unacceptable.
00:21:18Turkish democracy does not deserve this. And
00:21:21I think the nation will eventually punish this,
00:21:24or rather, it should. A great tragedy.
00:21:28düşünüyorum, vermelidir daha
00:21:29doğrusu.
00:21:35In the traffic accident that occurred in Manisa today,
00:21:3911 of our citizens lost their lives,
00:21:42and 27 of our citizens were injured. Unfortunately, new images
00:21:46of the tragic accident have started to reach us.
00:21:50Here is the moment the passenger bus overturned and the truck coming from behind
00:21:53crashed into the passenger bus
00:21:57uncontrollably at the moment it overturned.
00:22:00The passenger bus overturned in seconds.
00:22:04Because it missed a junction, during its maneuver to reverse
00:22:07approximately 50 or 75 meters,
00:22:10an expert opinion
00:22:14was shared regarding this, while it was still reversing.
00:22:17The truck coming from behind
00:22:20either didn't notice it
00:22:23or couldn't stop or braked at the last moment.
00:22:27Of course, all these
00:22:30will be clear after the expert report
00:22:33is completed. Here is the accident
00:22:36that happened in seconds. A passenger bus
00:22:40that had pulled over to the right side of the road. While it was making a reverse maneuver
00:22:43because it missed the turn, the truck coming from behind
00:22:46crashed into it. Within minutes,
00:22:50they collided. That is,
00:22:53the truck went through the bus, as they say.
00:22:57It went inside, and at the same time, both vehicles
00:23:00overturned. 11 of our citizens
00:23:04lost their lives in this accident today. Despite all the interventions
00:23:07of the teams that arrived at the scene, they could not be saved.
00:23:11There are injured people who are in critical condition and have been taken to the hospital
00:23:15with red codes, and injured people
00:23:18who have been taken with orange codes. We wish
00:23:22all the injured a speedy recovery.
00:23:25These are the latest, unfortunately,
00:23:28the most recent
00:23:32images of the tragic accident that have reached us,
00:23:34captured by security cameras, by surveillance cameras.
00:23:37This is also from a camera, that is,
00:23:41images recorded after the accident taken with a drone
00:23:44camera. We see that both vehicles
00:23:47are lying on their sides, but they are intertwined.
00:23:50If Oğuz can get a little closer, the load in the trailer of the truck coming from behind
00:23:54also overturned with them,
00:23:57but it directly went into the bus,
00:24:01into the passenger bus. This is also
00:24:04the last images recorded by cameras,
00:24:07security cameras,
00:24:10at the moment the bus was taking passengers. So it has been recorded as the last images.
00:24:13Once again, we wish
00:24:17God's mercy upon our citizens who lost their lives.
00:24:20"It was said that there were foreign tourists inside, I might be wrong, if so, I apologize.
00:24:24We convey our wishes for mercy from God for all those who lost their lives,
00:24:27and patience to their loved ones."
00:24:30Let's do that.
00:24:33Now look, we just showed it on screen, what did we show?
00:24:36Mr. Hasan Basri, one of the deputy chairmen,
00:24:39one of the key figures of the AK Party, says
00:24:42Izmir has become a reference point, there is such a great demand for the AK Party
00:24:46that the nation is in line.
00:24:50He brings it up, that is, this is a matter of attraction, this is a power,
00:24:53this is about being a center of gravity. That is, people
00:24:57want to serve by coming to the AK Party,
00:25:00mayors and even members of parliament. Our President himself
00:25:04had already expressed this at a badge-pinning ceremony,
00:25:08but
00:25:11the voters don't say so. You will remember Özlem Çerçioğlu,
00:25:15the Mayor of Aydın Metropolitan Municipality, who,
00:25:17despite her years
00:25:21of politics in the CHP, had parted ways with the CHP
00:25:23and joined the ranks of the AK Party. Very nice.
00:25:27So what was the situation then, and what is the situation today?
00:25:30Now, in public opinion polls, when you look at Aydın in the Turkey data map,
00:25:34it is very clear to see the current feeling of the voter,
00:25:37their current preference, and their "favor" as expressed by Mr. Hasan Basri.
00:25:41No survey
00:25:44is definitive but
00:25:47it is a reference. It gives you a rough idea
00:25:51for the future. It presents such a picture,
00:25:55and the picture it presents is like this: Look, in the March 31, 2024 elections,
00:25:58Özlem Çerçioğlu
00:26:02ran as a candidate from the CHP and received over 50%
00:26:06of the votes. That is, one out of two people
00:26:09preferred Ms. Özlem in Aydın.
00:26:11Today, in the report we received by looking at the AK Party's Turkey data,
00:26:15what percentage
00:26:19of the votes do we see in the September data?
00:26:2224%. That is, the vote
00:26:25Ms. Özlem received that day, or rather, the vote
00:26:29the AK Party received that day, March 31, 200.
00:26:3336%, right? I'm not good with numbers. It's not good, but it's true. The
00:26:37AK Party's 36%
00:26:40of votes today, if there were
00:26:43an election, would be 24%.
00:26:46In other words, the transfer market that Hasan
00:26:50Basri Bey showed and described
00:26:53doesn't mean that when voters go
00:26:57to the polls, they will react in the same way;
00:27:00on the contrary... When compared today,
00:27:04Ms. Özlem has lost 12 points
00:27:07since she took office. Of course, the economic realities, the fund crisis,
00:27:11this and that, the pressure on the
00:27:14opposition in the country, all of these have had an impact,
00:27:17but I also brought and shared the September
00:27:21report of the Turkey data map
00:27:25with you to show
00:27:28the meaning of the phrase "center of power, center of attraction."
00:27:30So, it's not enough to just
00:27:33say it.
00:27:37It's about how the ballot box will react. Now, an operation was organized in the Kayyun Municipality,
00:27:40as you know, in the Esenyurt Municipality. Now, the MHP leader
00:27:44Bahçeli says "Ahmetler, to duty," but
00:27:47we haven't seen Ahmetler return to duty yet. Ahmet
00:27:50Özer is still not able to return
00:27:54as the elected mayor of Esenyurt Municipality.
00:27:57There is a trustee municipality in his place.
00:28:00The deputy mayor is among those arrested. An operation was
00:28:03carried out, let's look at the details
00:28:06of this operation. In October 2024,
00:28:10after the arrest of Esenyurt's elected mayor Ahmet Özer,
00:28:13Deputy Governor Can Aksoy was appointed as a trustee
00:28:17to the Esenyurt Municipality. An operation was carried
00:28:20out in the Esenyurt Municipality during the trustee Can Aksoy
00:28:23period due to allegations of bid rigging and bribery.
00:28:2717 out of 19 people for whom arrest warrants
00:28:30were issued were arrested. The most striking
00:28:34of these names was Esenyurt Deputy Mayor Yusuf Ulutaş.
00:28:37Ulutaş had previously served as Deputy Mayor
00:28:41in the AK Party's Beyoğlu Municipality. He was
00:28:44appointed as Deputy Mayor by Cansoy, who served
00:28:48as acting Mayor of Esenyurt during the trustee period.
00:28:50Within the scope of the investigation, 9 people,
00:28:54including Deputy Mayor Yusuf Ulutaş, were arrested.
00:28:57Let's continue with Musavat Bey's news, dear
00:29:01Alara, my editor. Now, MHP General Chairman Devlet
00:29:04Bahçeli made one of his groundbreaking statements
00:29:08regarding the process. MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli
00:29:11makes and takes the groundbreaking
00:29:15statements and steps of this process.
00:29:17Now, regarding yesterday, he had said, "It is his
00:29:21right," referring to Öcalan, in the coordination of politicization.
00:29:24Today, the response to those words came
00:29:28from IYI Party General Chairman Musavat Dervişoğlu.
00:29:30Devlet Bahçeli
00:29:33frequently brought up the status, this time he said it was
00:29:36Öcalan's right. What will you say about this? For me,
00:29:40there is only one right, and that is
00:29:43the independence of my
00:29:44nation that worships
00:29:48right. The school attacks that have started to increase
00:29:51recently were also on President Erdoğan's agenda. He pointed
00:29:55to tech oligarchs and emphasized
00:29:59that the target of this group is young people.
00:30:09In Turkey, at least two school attacks occurred
00:30:12in just two months. While Interior Minister Mustafa
00:30:15Çiftçi claimed that they fulfilled their duties regarding
00:30:19school safety, National Education Minister Yusuf Tekin
00:30:23said on October 8th that they would be before the public
00:30:26with a different solution
00:30:28by February. However,
00:30:31he did not share any details on the matter. According
00:30:34to President Erdoğan, techno-oligarchs are behind
00:30:37school attacks. The impact of technology on our
00:30:41lives is growing every day.
00:30:44With artificial intelligence, radical changes are
00:30:47taking place in our lives.
00:30:50Techno-oligarchs who see themselves
00:30:53as chosen, who see themselves as superior
00:30:57to other people, want to shape
00:31:00according
00:31:04to their understanding
00:31:07and interests. Our youth are
00:31:10the target audience of these
00:31:14techno-oligarchs who see the world
00:31:17as a playground where they can play
00:31:20as they wish. Erdoğan also stated
00:31:23that this mentality sows poisonous
00:31:26seeds. The recent unfortunate
00:31:29incidents in our schools have shown
00:31:33us what a threat the
00:31:37poisonous seeds sown by
00:31:41this mentality are. What we will do,
00:31:46how we will stand against these new
00:31:49generation elites who fuel racism
00:31:53and encourage hedonism
00:31:56and recognize no rules
00:31:59or boundaries, and how
00:32:02we will protect our children
00:32:05from them, is very, very important.
00:32:08Meanwhile, an important regulation, an important
00:32:11regulation regarding young people's presence
00:32:14on social media, new rules and regulations
00:32:18were published in the Official Gazette and entered into force.
00:32:22Young people under the age of 15 will no longer
00:32:25be able to be on
00:32:26social networks, social
00:32:31media platforms. The new regulation on social
00:32:35media, which introduces age verification for
00:32:38social network providers, was published in the Official
00:32:41Gazette. With this regulation, the use of
00:32:44social media by children under the age of 15
00:32:47is completely prohibited. Social network providers
00:32:49are obliged to block
00:32:52access to services for individuals in this age
00:32:56group. Special rules have been determined for
00:32:59users between the ages of 15-18. Special
00:33:03rules will be applied for the privacy settings,
00:33:06parental control, messaging
00:33:10features, and content recommendation systems
00:33:14for users in this age group. The implementation
00:33:17of the regulations will start as of November
00:33:211, 2026. Social network providers will
00:33:24have to prepare the necessary technical infrastructure
00:33:28and control mechanisms until this date. The ban
00:33:31on social media for children under 15,
00:33:34age verification, and the authority of the Cybersecurity
00:33:37Presidency to block access drew the reaction
00:33:40of the opposition. We are calling on the Constitutional
00:33:43Court from here. First
00:34:17of all, take up this issue.
00:34:20Decide to stop its implementation and cancel
00:34:24it without delay. They
00:34:26don't want corruption,
00:34:29shamelessness, all the cruelty,
00:34:32all the pressure they have done in Turkey
00:34:36to be discussed, because
00:34:39as society talks, as we talk,
00:34:43as each of us stands up,
00:34:46resistance will rise and their
00:34:49rule will end. They will come to an
00:34:52end. Our request to the high judges,
00:34:55our request on behalf of the nation,
00:34:58our plea on behalf of those whose voices
00:35:01are silenced, is to issue a stay
00:35:05of execution. Let this oppression,
00:35:08this cruelty end here. Within the framework of the newly
00:35:12introduced
00:35:17regulation, the blocking of access to the independent news
00:35:20website T24 and the increasing account
00:35:23closures were interpreted by the public as
00:35:26a blow to freedom of expression and digital
00:35:29martial law. The government, on the other hand,
00:35:32argues that the regulations aim to protect children
00:35:35from digital addiction, cyberbullying, and
00:35:39obscene content. You know, Twitch announced
00:35:42September inflation data on October 5th.
00:35:45It drew attention to inflation data that fell
00:35:48below 30% after 57 months. Mehmet
00:35:52Şimşek also emphasized
00:35:54that breaking this psychological
00:35:57barrier was important. However, Ali Mahir Başarır,
00:36:01a prominent figure of the opposition, the new party group
00:36:04deputy chairman and Mersin deputy, criticized the government
00:36:07by saying, "The inflation on paper and the inflation
00:36:11on people's tables are not the same.
00:36:14You are taking people's livelihood
00:36:17from their tables and pockets."
00:36:21Inflation is huge, how is it determined?
00:36:25I'm very curious. Look, food has increased
00:36:28by 27.62%, housing by 39.99%,
00:36:31transportation by 35.10%, health by 43.26%,
00:36:34education by 48.62%. Now, which of these can
00:36:38we give up? Basic things like shelter,
00:36:42nutrition, transportation, health, education,
00:36:45if we include these, it goes over 34%,
00:36:48but when they keep these low, it's
00:36:5124.9. Who is TÜİK doing this
00:36:55evil to? To millions of retirees
00:36:58and workers living below the hunger line. People
00:37:02will get a raise in January according to this average,
00:37:06but nutrition, food, housing, health are
00:37:09unimportant. What are you taking as a criterion?
00:37:12The increase is here. The situation we have
00:37:16reached, I want to give an example from
00:37:19200 lira again. Look, in 2009,
00:37:23the day the money first came into circulation.
00:37:26We were buying 82.6
00:37:29liters of diesel with 200 lira. Now,
00:37:32it's 2.1. We could buy 12.200 liters
00:37:36of beef, now we buy 200 grams.
00:37:40We could buy 45
00:37:41kilos of chicken,
00:37:44now we buy 1.6. We could buy 870
00:37:48eggs, now we buy 30 eggs.
00:37:52Milk was 151 liters, now it's
00:37:553.3. The country
00:37:58has come to this point. TÜİK shows it
00:38:01as low with such a fund. The realities
00:38:05are here. When we say you are
00:38:08committing a crime in food, nutrition, housing,
00:38:12you are taking people's livelihood from their
00:38:14pockets, tables, refrigerators, shopping
00:38:18bags.
00:38:20I will give you the 60 thousand lira you won
00:38:24in the case you filed against
00:38:28me, TÜİK, but
00:38:28you are taking
00:38:37the rights of 86 million people. You are
00:38:40taking their livelihood. Can you account
00:38:43for this
00:38:46in the afterlife?
00:38:47We said "Acca"
00:38:52on our tag today. People are suffering.
00:38:56The intention here is not to use
00:38:59this as a tool for agitation,
00:39:03but to make those people's voices
00:39:06heard. He is 66
00:39:09years old. I can't say
00:39:13he's an uncle collecting harvest,
00:39:17collecting produce. He's not really
00:39:20at an age to be called an uncle,
00:39:23but he's a brother. He's crying,
00:39:26crying, saying he's suffering.
00:39:30Here you go. No.
00:39:33Look, to the state.
00:39:37You see, there's no oil.
00:39:40What will happen in this country?
00:39:44I'm tired. My age is
00:39:4766. The rich
00:39:51are getting richer.
00:39:54We will pay for what they
00:39:57took from us. That's it.
00:40:00Now, after 57 months, the
00:40:03annual inflation rate, which Mehmet
00:40:07Şimşek, Minister of Treasury and Finance,
00:40:10and even the economic management, described as having crossed
00:40:14the psychological threshold,
00:40:17falling below 30% to 29 point something,
00:40:20may have increased the political pressure
00:40:24on the Central Bank to cut interest rates.
00:40:28In this sense, there are comments
00:40:31made by economists. Therefore, all
00:40:34eyes are on the Central Bank. When
00:40:38is there a meeting? There's a meeting
00:40:41on October 22nd. Last month, it was
00:40:44passed, the interest rate was kept
00:40:48at 37%. But this time there's an
00:40:52expectation. They say, "Inflation has fallen
00:40:56below 30%. Okay, it dropped a bit,
00:40:59but whatever, cut this interest
00:41:03rate." Such pressure may arise. Now,
00:41:05when you look at international banks,
00:41:08the situation is not very favorable
00:41:11for this right now. Let's see
00:41:14what TÜİK says. TÜİK says
00:41:18that the annual inflation is 29.73%.
00:41:28threshold below 30% after 57
00:41:31months. Economist Erdal Sağlam
00:41:34is a name whose data, forecasts, and analyses can be
00:41:38trusted. He says,
00:41:40"I smelled something like that, there's
00:41:44such an atmosphere." Now, a 1-2 point
00:41:47cut, let's meet
00:41:49in the middle,
00:41:53let's make a 150 basis point
00:41:57cut. In this regard, comments
00:42:00are being made in the market
00:42:03that the Central Bank can make
00:42:06a 150 basis point cut, but
00:42:08this does not indicate a downward
00:42:12trend in inflation. This fund scandal can once
00:42:15again increase inflation upwards
00:42:18in October. Erdal Sağlam warns, and data
00:42:22indicates that a decision to
00:42:26cut interest rates together with inflation
00:42:29can be made. Reserves are pointed
00:42:32out. The fact that the Central
00:42:36Bank's reserves are once again
00:42:39moving upwards, to positive territory,
00:42:42is considered a sign that
00:42:46a 150 basis point cut decision
00:42:49may come from the Central Bank.
00:42:52The meeting is on the 22nd,
00:42:56but there's still a long way to
00:42:58go until the 22nd. We are
00:43:02continuing by saying that anything can
00:43:04happen at any moment for Turkey.
00:43:08We have opened
00:43:10such a parenthesis. Now,
00:43:12Yeni Parti Istanbul
00:43:17Deputy Özgür Karabat brings the BRSA
00:43:20data to the agenda. We say that people
00:43:24live with credit cards. Individual
00:43:28consumer loans. A concept called
00:43:31"cash advance, flipping"
00:43:37has emerged, where you take money
00:43:40from one card and put it
00:43:43on another,
00:43:46etc. He revealed very striking data
00:43:50related to this. While citizens' debt
00:43:54increased by 14% in 6 months,
00:43:57debts in arrears increased by a
00:44:00full 36%. In Turkey, citizens
00:44:04are getting more and more indebted
00:44:07every day. Their ability to pay
00:44:10their debts is
00:44:11decreasing much
00:44:17faster every day. When we look at the BRSA's
00:44:21data for the
00:44:24last 6 months, the picture is
00:44:27quite grim. Citizens' debt, which was
00:44:316.171 billion TL on April 3,
00:44:342026, increased
00:44:37to 3.534 billion TL at
00:44:40the beginning of October. It increased
00:44:44by a full
00:44:44522 billion
00:44:49in 6 months. Approximately 60% of
00:44:52the total individual debt increase is
00:44:56due to credit card debts. The
00:44:58real danger is that citizens, unfortunately,
00:45:02cannot pay their debts. Individual
00:45:05receivables in arrears, which were 278
00:45:12billion TL in April, increased
00:45:15to 379 billion at the beginning
00:45:19of October and increased by a
00:45:22full 36% in
00:45:246 months. Credit
00:45:28cards are sounding the alarm. A total
00:45:32of 232 billion in total receivables
00:45:35in arrears occurred in 6 months.
00:45:39AKP takes billions from the congress.
00:45:42The head of the United States
00:45:46is in trouble with the firearms
00:45:49law, that is,
00:45:50individual attacks.
00:45:54In the last armed attack,
00:45:589 people, including the assailant,
00:46:01lost their lives. In the armed attack
00:46:05in Pennsylvania, USA, 9 people,
00:46:08including children,
00:46:12lost their lives. According to local
00:46:15media reports, in Erie,
00:46:19police teams were informed on Saturday
00:46:23afternoon that a person was firing a weapon into
00:46:26the air in the street.
00:46:30The teams that arrived at the scene found
00:46:34the lifeless bodies of
00:46:38two women in the street. a presidential election
00:46:42will be held in the United States
00:46:45in November. Trump was speaking at
00:46:49an event for the election. Behind him
00:46:52was a group of women listeners,
00:46:55a large hall, but the women
00:46:57behind him were mostly applauding
00:47:01Trump as he spoke.
00:47:04He turned around and said, "Even
00:47:19if I say stupid
00:47:22things, you applaud." This reminded me
00:47:26of another stupid comment
00:47:29he made.
00:47:35If you ask who is the
00:47:38embodiment of arrogance,
00:47:42I would say Trump without
00:47:45hesitation. And also, they say, "poking
00:47:49a stick in one's eye," right?
00:47:52He entered a cage, a tiger cage, overcoming all obstacles.
00:47:56Someone in England overcame all obstacles
00:47:59and reached the tiger behind the cage, but this
00:48:03was the beginning
00:48:07of a tragic end for him.
00:48:10A person who entered the Bengal Tiger
00:48:14section, which was surrounded by high
00:48:16fences at a
00:48:19zoo in Yorkshire, England, lost
00:48:22his life as a result of
00:48:26the tiger's attack. The incident that
00:48:29took place during daylight hours at
00:48:32the Yorkshire Wildlife Park was captured
00:48:35by visitors' cameras. Eyewitnesses said
00:48:38that after a
00:48:41while, officials arrived and intervened with
00:48:45a gun. Officials shared the information
00:48:48that the tiger was placed in a
00:48:51cage after the incident. The person
00:48:53who was seriously
00:48:57injured in the tiger attack lost
00:49:00his life a few hours later.
00:49:04Following the incident,
00:49:08the zoo was evacuated and closed
00:49:11to visitors for two days. It
00:49:14was announced that the tiger posed
00:49:17no risk to citizens. The animals kept
00:49:21in the "Land of Tigers" section at
00:49:25the Yorkshire Wildlife Park can roam
00:49:28freely in an area with a
00:49:31natural habitat concept. It has been
00:49:35exactly one year. Our journalist colleague
00:49:39Hakan Tosun was murdered, beaten and
00:49:42assaulted. A year has passed since then.
00:49:46His family and loved ones did
00:49:49not leave him alone at his grave.
00:49:53They took what they took from
00:49:56us, but he is still with
00:49:59us, his camera is still recording.
00:50:03A year has passed since journalist
00:50:07Hakan Tosun was beaten to death.
00:50:10His family, friends and colleagues commemorated
00:50:13him at his grave. Hakan is
00:50:17here, his camera is recording. Today,
00:50:21his friends are
00:50:30carrying Hakan's camera. Journalist, documentary
00:50:34filmmaker Hakan Tosun set off to
00:50:37his family's home in Esenyurt on
00:50:41October 10, 2025. He was attacked
00:50:44by two people near his home.
00:50:47He lost his life due to
00:50:49kicks and punches. We said we
00:50:54would hold the murderers accountable.
00:50:57We held two murderers accountable,
00:51:29was made in the case regarding Tosun's
00:51:32beating to death. In the case,
00:51:36where only two defendants were tried,
00:51:39attackers Abdurrahman Murat and Adnan
00:51:42Şahin were sentenced to life in
00:51:45prison. Yusuf Öö, the third person
00:51:49involved in both attacks on Tosun,
00:51:52was not included in the trial.
00:51:55A decision of non-prosecution was issued
00:51:58for the criminal complaint against him.
00:52:02His family, friends, and colleagues commemorated
00:56:08with great pain. 11 of our citizens lost their lives
00:56:12in a traffic accident in Manisa. We are in pain.
00:56:15Fund victims are in pain. They are trying to figure out
00:56:18when they will be able to get their 3 kuruş
00:56:21savings back. They are trying to understand this.
00:56:24The retiree tells with tears in their eyes
00:56:28how much pain they are in. Today we say pain
00:56:32and start the second hour. Of course, this
00:56:51fund scandal has a very high economic cost,
00:56:54but it seems to have entered a period
00:56:58where political costs and political discussions
00:57:02have started to increase. For example, from the ruling
00:57:05party wing, statements
00:57:07like the right to be untainted and the presumption of innocence
00:57:10from Abdullah Güler ignited the fuse of a completely
00:57:14different political discussion. Again, the same Abdullah Güler's
00:57:19group leader's statement, "make your own moral self-assessment
00:57:22and judgment, if you conclude that
00:57:25this gain is unjust, go and return the money
00:57:29to the opened accounts" caused the opposition to react
00:57:32once again. "Is there a gate of repentance
00:57:35in the Turkish Penal Code?" asked the new party leader.
00:57:39Journalist, successful journalist, investigative
00:57:42journalist, our Bahadır Bahadır Özgür also had a
00:57:46different approach
00:57:55has deteriorated regarding the fund crisis. It's not those
00:57:58who defrauded the nation, but those who exposed it
00:58:02who are being jailed. While questions about the perpetrators
00:58:05of the fund crisis and the payments to the victims remain on the agenda,
00:58:09the voluntary return mechanism included in the roadmap
00:58:12created for investment funds in the liquidation process
00:58:16caused controversy. On one side
00:58:19there is the citizen's law. You apply one law to those close to you,
00:58:22seeing them as citizens, and another to those who oppose you,
00:58:26seeing them as enemies. AK Party Group Chairman
00:58:29Abdullah Güler said at a press conference regarding the bill that will
00:58:33start to be discussed in parliament this week that those who believe
00:58:36they have obtained unjust income can return it with their own
00:58:40conscientious calculation. If anyone thinks they have made
00:58:43a high return with this extreme volatility, they should
00:58:47do their own accounting. If they believe it is unjust and illegitimate,
00:58:51they should come and return it. Güler also underlined that these
00:58:54returns will not mean a legal judgment or an admission
00:58:58of debt. This mechanism does not replace criminal
00:59:01or legal responsibility, and the provisions to be applied
00:59:05to individuals who have legal or criminal responsibility
00:59:08under the relevant legislation are reserved. On the other hand,
00:59:12voluntary returns do not constitute
00:59:14any legal obligation, admission of debt,
00:59:22or acceptance of responsibility. Güler's statements also drew reactions.
00:59:25The new party leader asked, "Is there such a thing
00:59:29as a gate of repentance in a democracy,
00:59:33in a state of law?" They say, "We opened an account,
00:59:37let those who succumbed to their desires put their money
00:59:40here, we will not go after them." Journalist Bahadır Özgür
00:59:43used the expressions, "a robbery worth billions
00:59:46of liras is being closed before our eyes, relying
00:59:50on the Turkish Penal Code's article on referral to the other world."
00:59:54Journalist Nihal Bengisu Karaca reacted with the words,
00:59:57"While people are thrown into prison for a tweet, looters
01:00:01are called with this language. They say, 'If those who made
01:00:03high returns find it unjust
01:00:05in their conscience, let them
01:00:08come and return it.' Is justice now being begged for?"
01:00:12These names must be announced one by one, these names
01:00:16must immediately resign
01:00:20from their duties, give statements, and be tried.
01:00:23Now, such a voluntary system is sought to be established,
01:00:27saying "return the money if you believe it is ill-gotten gain."
01:00:30But the most authorized justice minister
01:00:34said that returns came from five
01:00:38of the names who made high gains. One of them
01:00:41is Fatma Betül Sayankaya, the second is her husband.
01:00:44Three people remain. So, for now,
01:00:48Mr. Güler's, Abdullah Güler's call does not seem to have
01:00:50found much response. Abdullah Güler's only call
01:00:54is not, of course, this issue of voluntary
01:00:57return. Since yesterday, it has ignited the fuse
01:01:00of a completely different political discussion, Article
01:01:0438 of the Constitution, meaning the presumption
01:01:07of innocence, meaning the right not to be tainted.
01:01:10It says that there is a list of 214 people,
01:01:14consisting of legal and natural persons.
01:01:17Who is announcing this? Mr. Gürlek is announcing it.
01:01:20But when pressure is put
01:01:22on the government to announce
01:01:26this list, Abdullah Güler talks about Article 38
01:01:29of the Constitution, the right not to be tainted
01:01:33and the presumption of innocence. "Did we come to the same
01:01:35place?" says the opposition, but also adds,
01:01:39"Why was the presumption of innocence never considered for us?"
01:01:42A good question. "We will never allow defaming politicians
01:01:46to commit extrajudicial executions.
01:01:50We will not tolerate dirty methods,
01:01:54slander, and discrediting campaigns against our cadres.
01:01:57All the thieves are registered in the central registration
01:02:01institution. The appointer is AKP, the appointed is AKP,
01:02:04the robber is AKP, the robbed is AKP. When it comes to the AKP
01:02:08gang of thieves, they talk about the right not to be tainted.
01:02:11Shame on you. You are tainting honest, honorable,
01:02:15and respectable people. Don't do this. The presumption of innocence is essential.
01:02:19Article 38 of the Constitution. We are not accusing anyone.
01:02:22But whoever has committed a crime with their actions,
01:02:25we are after them until the end. Those who ignored the thousands
01:02:28of criminal complaints we made against the slanders
01:02:32thrown at us for months are shamelessly talking
01:02:36about the right not to be tainted. Also, did the right not
01:02:39to be tainted only come to your mind when it concerned you?
01:02:43Do whatever you want, your filth has been exposed, the swindle of the century,
01:02:47the fund robbery, has come to light. The nation sees
01:02:51everything. The answer is at the ballot box. The innocent already
01:02:55benefit from the presumption of innocence. And when
01:02:59the guilty are identified as a result of the joint
01:03:02work of the finance and judicial authorities, they will pay
01:03:05the necessary price, and the necessary punishment processes will begin."
01:03:08The new party's announcement of the AKP members in the fund
01:03:11started a "taint" polemic between the government
01:03:15and the opposition. While AKP members spoke of the right
01:03:18not to be tainted, the opposition reminded them of the investigations
01:03:21against municipalities. "If the new party, new party members,
01:03:24as they always say, had done 1% of this work,
01:03:28by 6 in the morning, the entire list of 270 people
01:03:32and all their close relatives would have been detained and
01:03:35are now being tried in custody. You have disregarded the personal
01:03:39rights of everyone who has been in opposition
01:03:42until now. You have not refrained from any discourse or action
01:03:45that would affect their families, honor, dignity, social
01:03:48life, work, bread, and food. Do you think it is easy
01:03:52to pass away to the hereafter carrying this burden on your
01:03:55neck?" "We attach importance to the presumption of innocence,
01:03:58we attach importance
01:04:05to the right to defense. Do not speak in a way
01:04:09that will affect everyone's honor and dignity. When it comes to government
01:04:12officials, it's about innocence
01:04:15and untaintedness. And most importantly,
01:04:19our President is our red line. Together with all our organizations,
01:04:22we are moving to the highest level of struggle against
01:04:26this attack on our President, our party, and our cabinet. He says, "We are in a very difficult
01:04:34situation, we will attack from the highest level."
01:04:37He says, "The best defense is offense."
01:04:40He says, "The judge is ours, the prosecutor is ours,
01:04:44the police is ours, the gendarmerie is ours."
01:04:48Now, even though Mr. Güler talks about the presumption
01:04:52of innocence and the right not to be tainted for the 214 people
01:04:56in the hands of Justice Minister Akın Gürlek, his counterpart,
01:05:04or rather, group deputy Özlem Zengin, does not agree. She says
01:05:08that list should be announced. There is one more name.
01:05:11A speech of his fell into my hands today, again one of the effective
01:05:15and authorized names of the General Headquarters.
01:05:18The gentleman says, "Look, it's not enough
01:05:21to just identify those who have obtained unjust
01:05:25gains from this fund. Those who prevent
01:05:28the identification of those people, those who prevent
01:05:32the announcement of those people, should no longer walk with us."
01:05:34I don't know, Mr. Abdullah, were you able to
01:05:38hear this statement? "Regarding this recent fund issue,
01:05:42whoever made a mistake, look here.
01:05:45I will say something else
01:05:51at our organization's training meeting. Not only
01:05:54those who made this mistake, but also those who are afraid
01:05:57and hesitant to investigate those who made this mistake
01:06:00will not be able to stay among us anymore."
01:06:03Clear and concise.
01:06:06We have a President, our General Chairman,
01:06:10who has instructed that everything be thoroughly investigated,
01:06:13no matter where it leads. Mr. Büyük Gümüş also says the same
01:06:17things. He says, "Those who protect them, those who hide them,
01:06:21should no longer walk with us." Özlem Zengin also says the same,
01:06:24but Abdullah Güler says, as the group chairman,
01:06:27"I attach importance to the presumption of innocence. You cannot immediately
01:06:31declare people guilty. You are obliged to disclose
01:06:35who these 214 people are. This is the point,
01:06:38this is not something to be debated." Now, we will bring
01:06:42the statements of a fund victim to the screen.
01:06:45He says, "Forget about his earnings and so on.
01:06:49It's not like I made billions or ran away a few days before,
01:06:52selling and pocketing the money. He asks, "Will I be able to get
01:06:56my principal back?" "I stood by the state
01:07:00in every difficult time, in FETÖ, in the Süleymancıs,
01:07:04in July 15, when there was an earthquake,
01:07:08when there was a flood, I paid taxes from my salary
01:07:12and did everything I could. Why are we experiencing
01:07:15this? We did not smuggle our money abroad,
01:07:18we contributed to our country's economy. Now, let someone
01:07:21hear our voice. On that day, on September 17,
01:07:25I tried to make a sale, I ran to the bank.
01:07:28The 'sell' button didn't work.
01:07:31I'm saying, either we will die
01:07:35from grief, our home is broken, our peace is broken,
01:07:39we can't eat, we can't drink,
01:07:43we are sad. Please, please internalize our voice,
01:07:47hear us. We are sad, we feel helpless.
01:07:51We are the children of this homeland.
01:07:53I, for one, have not done
01:07:57anything wrong to this country. I have benefited it,
01:08:01not harmed it. Please, I want my money,
01:08:04I want my principal. We want our principal.
01:08:08We are going crazy now. That's why it started with pain.
01:08:12And people say, "We will die of grief,"
01:08:16"we can't sleep." They say, "Let it be,
01:08:19I gave up on intercession, just don't steal stones from my grave."
01:08:23What he's saying is, "Give me my principal,
01:08:26and I'll go my way. I haven't done anything
01:08:30wrong to this country." Now, of course, there are names
01:08:33alleged to have made excessive profits. Who is the most
01:08:37authorized and effective person at the top of justice,
01:08:40judiciary, and law in this country? Akın Gürlek.
01:08:44Mr. Gürlek described the situation as a record profit of 187 billion
01:08:47liras, not me. Mr. Gürlek also named
01:08:51the list of 214 people. Now, in this situation,
01:08:53people say, "Brother, announce who is on this list and who
01:08:57is not, so we can know." The opposition has such a demand
01:09:01from the government. Of course, on the one hand,
01:09:04as the investigation expands, new decisions and new steps
01:09:08are also being taken. The accounts of six people
01:09:11have been frozen, and precautionary measures have been placed
01:09:15on their property. Among those names is the wife
01:09:19of singer Mustafa Sandal. There was also a deputy minister,
01:09:23Mr. Aksu, as you know, a deputy minister who said,
01:09:26"I don't care about the money,
01:09:27but being deceived upsets
01:09:32me." Journalists reached him and asked, "How much
01:09:36is your loss?" "100 million liras." "Okay, what
01:09:39is the source of this money?"
01:09:42"That's unknown." The fund investigation continues,
01:09:46and the assets of six people have been seized. The decision
01:09:49was approved by the Istanbul 4th Criminal Court of Peace.
01:09:53Accordingly, the assets of Abdullah Yusuf Yarız,
01:09:56Cihan Sütşurup, Mustafa Sandal's wife Melis Sandal,
01:10:00Jeremy ETI's D-post, İsmet Öğüt, and Hasan Peker
01:10:04were seized. The bank accounts and company shares of the individuals
01:10:08on the list were frozen, and their vehicles
01:10:11and immovable properties were seized. Former Deputy Minister of Agriculture
01:10:14and Forestry, AKP member Mustafa Aksu, was also among the names
01:10:18that came up during the fund investigation. Aksu, who is alleged
01:10:21to have lost 100 million liras, spoke to Nefes Gazetesi.
01:10:25He gave an evasive answer to the question of where
01:10:28he got the 100 million. He said, "I am an industrialist
01:10:31and a businessman.
01:10:34The source of my money is recorded. I resigned from the deputy ministry
01:10:37due to being a businessman and industrialist."
01:10:41Aksu also stated that his father has been an industrialist
01:10:44for 55 years and is among
01:10:52a clear answer to the question of how he made his fund investment.
01:10:56He said, "I went to the bank, and the employee there guided me."
01:10:59Aksu, who said his loss was not as much as 100 million liras,
01:11:03did not give a clear amount. As you know, he had joined
01:11:06the ranks of the AK Party. He had put on his badge at
01:11:10the ceremony held last week. İzmir Metropolitan Municipality
01:11:14Mayor Cemil Tugay's first guest was Health Minister Memişoğlu.
01:11:18Cemil Tugay received Memişoğlu in his office.
01:11:21The portrait of Erdoğan behind him was naturally
01:11:24striking. Meanwhile, he gave an interview
01:11:28to one of the pro-government media organizations, of course.
01:11:31Now, why he said
01:11:33what he said is more important
01:11:44than what he said, in my opinion. Let's take a look at what people said.
01:11:47First of all, he said he put on a shirt of fire,
01:11:50as if they forced him to wear it. Let's listen, I think we should
01:11:54ask a few questions about it. Cemil Tugay put on
01:11:58the AKP badge and took a 5-day leave. But even before his leave ended,
01:12:01he hosted the Minister of Health in his office.
01:12:05The portrait of President Erdoğan he hung in his office drew attention.
01:12:09His very valuable family. İzmir Metropolitan Municipality
01:12:12Mayor Cemil Tugay had resigned from the CHP and was independent.
01:12:16He joined the AKP at the ceremony held on October 7.
01:12:18President Erdoğan presented him with his badge.
01:12:22Thus, İzmir, which had resisted right-wing parties for 27 years,
01:12:25joined the AKP for the first time in its history,
01:12:28at least on paper. The AK Party is the protector
01:12:32of the helpless. Tugay, who was on the country's
01:12:35agenda, took a five-day leave as soon as he put on his badge.
01:12:38However, even before his leave ended, Tugay hosted
01:12:42a minister in his office. The first visitor was Health Minister
01:12:46Kemal Memişoğlu, and the Governor of İzmir was also with him.
01:12:50Tugay announced the meeting with a post on his social media
01:12:52account. He stated that
01:12:55they discussed health investments to be made
01:12:59in İzmir. A detail in the shared photo caught attention.
01:13:03It was seen that Tugay had hung a portrait
01:13:06of President Erdoğan in his office. There was
01:13:09also a portrait of Erdoğan next to Atatürk's portrait.
01:13:12On the other hand, Cemil Tugay also gave his first interview
01:13:15after joining the AKP. For this, he preferred Yeni Asır
01:13:19newspaper, which is close to the government. His messages were striking.
01:13:23Tugay told the story behind the transfer. He emphasized
01:13:27that Minister Murat Kurum was very effective in this.
01:13:30He said that he was also very impressed by Erdoğan
01:13:34during their meeting. Tugay said that the words
01:13:37of our great leader, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,
01:13:41and the earthquake reality of İzmir were also effective in his decision.
01:13:45He pointed out the necessity of government support
01:13:49for urban transformation. He said, "I thought a lot,
01:13:52I took a risk, I put on a shirt of fire, but I believe
01:13:55I did the right thing."
01:14:09that speech word for word himself. He asked, "No one can deny
01:14:12Atatürk's words, but does this prevent the AK Party
01:14:15from claiming the legacy and wanting to be the protector
01:14:19of the helpless?" He also added, "I don't understand why
01:14:23it is criticized so much."
01:14:55I was going to ask him a few questions, but I gave up, it's not worth
01:14:58it now. Forget about it. Now, you know, the head
01:15:01of the annulment administration, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who returned to the CHP
01:15:05chairmanship with an annulment decision, put forward an argument.
01:15:08He said that those who commit corruption and theft either
01:15:12go to the AK Party or to the new party. Özel,
01:15:15stating that there was no transfer, said, "We are facing
01:15:19a terrible wave of lies and slander. Those
01:15:22who sell out and leave are traitors,
01:15:26traitors' sons." Özel, speaking to Cumhuriyet, said,
01:15:29"No one from us went to the AKP, but there are some who remained
01:15:32in the CHP." "No investigation has been launched
01:15:35against those who came to the new party. This does not mean that
01:15:39those who remained in the CHP are guilty. But Kemal Bey
01:15:42says, in an untrue way, that those who came to the new party
01:15:45are going to the AKP. That's why we are facing
01:15:48a terrible wave of lies and slander. We believe
01:15:52that no one can be handed over to political operations
01:15:55to all our friends." Özel also reminded
01:15:59that Kılıçdaroğlu had appointed the mayors of Aydın
01:16:02and Afyonkarahisar who joined the AKP.
01:16:05He said, "Kemal Bey's princess, the mayor of Afyon,
01:16:08went to the AKP." He also stated that there were contradictory
01:16:12behaviors in Kılıçdaroğlu's words by giving examples
01:16:15of his different reactions to municipal operations.
01:16:19He said, "Kemal Bey has only one file,
01:16:22and there is no public damage in it, but he says,
01:16:25'I have doubts' about Hüseyincan Güner just because of the change.
01:16:28But on the other hand, he goes to visit someone
01:16:32who has more than 50 files and remained in the CHP.
01:16:35They say, 'Those who are with us are innocent, those who are
01:16:39in favor of change are guilty.' They first did this to Ekrem İmamoğlu.
01:16:42Özel, stating that they achieved the greatest
01:16:46success in history on the evening of March 31, drew attention
01:16:50to the subsequent operations against municipalities.
01:16:52He said, "I consider this
01:16:58an injustice to history, not to myself."
01:17:01There is no such thing as an analysis, a fear,
01:17:05or a stress test. Such a dishonorable, despicable
01:17:09attack has never happened in history. Now, why
01:17:12didn't you foresee this? Who foresaw it that
01:17:16I didn't? When we were determining the mayors, we first sent
01:17:19delegations to the cities. Then these delegations
01:17:23looked at the candidates and narrowed down the serious
01:17:27candidates to a certain number. Then we looked
01:17:30at the candidates who would win through surveys.
01:17:34We didn't look at who supported us
01:17:37and who didn't among these candidates.
01:17:40Now, there is such a news that social media,
01:17:43so to speak, is buzzing. Such a video has been released.
01:17:47The declaration of the known. We were not surprised,
01:17:50actually, but we were a little surprised
01:17:54that it could be said so openly. Yes, we are aware
01:17:58that such a reality exists in this country.
01:18:08Now, an official from the ministry, from Ankara
01:18:11Bar Association No. 2, made such a statement.
01:18:14Or rather, a statement regarding the ministry's
01:18:18favoritism came. "We referred 70 lawyer friends
01:18:21to become judges and prosecutors, and they became them,
01:18:25they succeeded." This statement
01:18:27brings to mind Mert,
01:18:30who scored 115 points in the judge-prosecutor exam
01:18:33but was eliminated in the oral interview and took his own life.
01:18:37It is the reason why people with merit,
01:18:41who could not get the position they deserved
01:18:45despite their high score, are experiencing what they are
01:18:48experiencing today. Now, the video will appear on the screen.
01:18:51Please watch. "We refer our friends
01:18:55who want to become judges and prosecutors. We met
01:18:58with the ministries, thankfully, the ministry
01:19:02granted us a privilege in that sense." These statements belong
01:19:05to the head of Ankara Bar Association
01:19:15No. 2. He said that they referred 70 people
01:19:19and made 70 people judges and prosecutors.
01:19:23Gökhan Ağdemir, the head of Ankara Bar Association No. 2,
01:19:26was a guest on Bengitürk's broadcast and made confession-like
01:19:29statements. "We refer our friends
01:19:33who want to become judges and prosecutors.
01:19:37During our 2-year working period, we made 70
01:19:40"He openly confessed the reality of Turkey.
01:19:43If Bar Association No. 2
01:19:46also confessed the jobs they received from state institutions
01:19:49and banks, everyone would be relieved." Hürrem Sönmez, a member
01:19:52By referring our young of the Istanbul Bar Association
01:19:56Board of Directors, reminded of lawyer Mert Akdoğan,
01:20:00in 2025. He says, "If you become
01:20:03a member of Bar Association No. 2, we will make
01:20:07you a judge or prosecutor." That is, he is not at all
01:20:10the favoritism on screen, saying, "The ministry granted us
01:20:13a privilege, we made 70 of our members judges
01:20:17and prosecutors through reference." There was also a reaction
01:20:21from lawyers to Ağdemir's statement. Lawyer Afşin Hatipoğlu
01:20:24said, "The tongue slips, it straightens out."
01:20:28Attorney Akdoğan ended his life at his home in Beykoz.
01:20:31Ağdemir, in a statement he made on social media after the reactions,
01:20:35claimed that his statement was distorted
01:20:38and taken out of context. Ağdemir stated that
01:20:41presenting it with cheap and low-level expressions like "judge-guaranteed
01:20:45bar association" is a clear indication of a pathetic
01:20:48attempt to create a perception only one week before the bar association elections.
01:20:52he said.
01:20:53No, dear,
01:20:58I mean, serving it with cheap
01:21:01and low-level news before the upcoming
01:21:04elections creates a perception against you.
01:21:07Is that right? Am I saying that we were shown favoritism?
01:21:11Are you saying it or not? I mean, it was cut off at the back, cut off at the front.
01:21:14Don't bend the law like that for us. We are aware of what we hear and
01:21:18what we listen to. The moment you say we were shown favoritism,
01:21:22that is proof of cronyism
01:21:25and nepotism. No offense. And it justifies the questions asked by Hürrem Hanım,
01:21:29Afşin Bey, and Murat Emir. Why did we write
01:21:32those questions here? Because they are the right questions.
01:21:36Where exactly is merit in these references?
01:21:39You are a reference for 70 lawyers
01:21:42in the judicial and prosecutorial oral interview exam.
01:21:46Okay. What kind of reference are you?
01:21:49And where exactly is merit in this? Our judges and prosecutors
01:21:53with references, for example,
01:21:56where in the country are they working? Can we have a chance to
01:22:00find out? What cases are they handling, for example?
01:22:03As you know, we are going through a very difficult period, with the judicial climate.
01:22:07I can say we are being tested. Especially with the increasing judicial
01:22:10pressure on the opposition, municipalities, and opposition figures
01:22:14day by day, as a citizen, I will ask these questions, my friend,
01:22:18no offense. The fact that you are a lawyer
01:22:21does not mean that our brains are not working. For example, if these
01:22:2570 judges and prosecutors became judges and prosecutors
01:22:28with your suggestions, with your references,
01:22:32thankfully the authorities did not refuse you, okay. Which cases,
01:22:35which lawsuits are they handling, for example? We ask.
01:22:39You can answer, or not, that's your
01:22:42discretion. Have references and privileges played a role
01:22:45in some investigations and prosecutions,
01:22:48or in undertaking some important cases?
01:22:52Could they have? Does your statement bring these questions to the agenda?
01:22:55Afşin Bey also asked, Hürrem Hanım also asked,
01:22:59Murat Bey also asked. All three are lawyers.
01:23:02sormuş, üçü de hukukçu, doğru soruları sormuşlar kamu adına
01:23:06The new Party Group Deputy Chairman
01:23:20had made a post saying "airport, now Judge Prosecutor Guaranteed
01:23:23bar association". Our friends have already
01:23:26included it in the news, Saniye Bora Fıçıcı,
01:23:30Fıçı Fıçıcı Fıçı, anyway, whoever she is,
01:23:33she joined the AK Party,
01:23:37you will remember. It is one of the districts
01:23:39that the AK Party won without nominating a candidate, and
01:23:43it is a political success. By the way, you don't even nominate a candidate, saying
01:23:47"I can't win here," but months and months later,
01:23:51that municipality enters your orbit. Now, a sales
01:23:54tender has been announced. Let's look at the details.
01:24:50will be held on Monday, October 26.
01:24:53The new party leader Özgür Özel's
01:24:58stop today was Bursa. Of course, he met with the producers again.
01:25:02Grape producers, olive producers
01:25:05were around Özgür Bey,
01:25:08and of course,
01:25:11with the costs and the difficulties
01:25:14they experienced.
01:25:18Now. Let the friends
01:25:22see. This is one of Turkey's most beautiful
01:25:25table grapes. Its name
01:25:29is Çağrışan Karası. This grape is sold at 25
01:25:33liras this year, right? Last year,
01:25:36the grape that was caught in the flood, mixed with trash,
01:25:39and sold to produce alcohol
01:25:42was 20 liras.
01:25:46And last year, diesel was 50 liras.
01:25:50Now diesel is 98 liras, and this
01:25:53Çağrışan Karası grape is sold for 25 liras.
01:25:56Who else will we tell this to? Last
01:26:00year, 2.5 kilograms of wine grapes bought 1 liter
01:26:03of diesel. This year, 4 kilograms of Çağrışan
01:26:06Karası buys 1 liter of diesel. Who else should we tell?
01:26:09The gravity of the situation is so clear.
01:26:12They are trying to buy grapes from you for 25 liras,
01:26:16which cost 25 liras in total.
01:26:20That's why it's not possible to make a living
01:26:22here.
01:26:27We said "bitter" for our tag today. Now I will bring the news of the producer in bitterness, but Erkan Eyiboğlu
01:26:30says: "They defrauded the people, and now they are still telling innocent stories,
01:26:34mocking the people, that's another bitterness."
01:26:38He says. So, the response it finds in people
01:26:41is this right to be stained, the presumption of innocence, it's not looking good for now,
01:26:45because people believe that the bitterness they feel
01:26:49is greater, and more important. Samet
01:26:52Özçelik says, when will a person tired of bitterness mature? The tea
01:26:56we drink is bitter, and the coffee we drink is also bitter.
01:26:59The system is working perfectly, we are in bitterness, says Zeynel Çetin Yılmaz.
01:27:02I try to go through your messages as much as our news
01:27:05and time allow. We will go to an olive
01:27:09no-harvest protest,
01:27:12because the producer is troubled,
01:27:15he decided not to harvest his product
01:27:18from the field. The reason is obvious.
01:27:35This year, diesel is 100 liras, olives are 20 liras. What happened? What happened? Why did this happen?
01:27:38The olive producers' rebellion is because production costs
01:27:42skyrocketed, prices remained very low, not even enough to cover
01:27:45harvesting costs. So they started a one-week
01:27:49olive no-harvest protest.
01:27:54This is Turkey's most important table olive production center,
01:27:57Manisa Akhisar. The producers gathered in Zeytinliova village
01:28:00and protested the announced olive purchase prices.
01:28:0415 liras, 15 liras, 15 liras for olives.
01:28:08This is outrageous. They are playing with our honor. They lowered
01:28:11the price five times in five days. We will not let our honor be played with,
01:28:15brother! The producers started a one-week olive no-harvest protest.
01:28:18Olive harvesting and purchasing were stopped,
01:28:21and the sifters were shut down. We work hard for a year,
01:28:25day and night, for its medicine, its fertilizer, and so on.
01:28:29They are literally mocking us with 10 lira olives.
01:28:32The new party's Manisa MP, Vehbi Bakıroğlu, was also there. He sharply
01:28:36criticized the government. I saw tomatoes left
01:28:40in the field.
01:28:42I saw peppers, melons, watermelons,
01:28:45and this year, cherries
01:28:48left in the field. We said,
01:28:51"This will be perhaps the first time in history
01:28:54that something like this happens. If no precautions
01:28:57are taken, olives will remain on the branch."
01:29:00Today, olives remained on the branch, friends.
01:29:03"Is this fair to us? Why do these prices
01:29:07drop? We are selling goods below the prices
01:29:10we sold three years ago.
01:29:14How can olive oil be 10 liras, for God's
01:29:16sake?"
01:29:22Fluctuating fuel prices seriously
01:29:25affect transportation in Istanbul,
01:29:29as fuel prices increase,
01:29:31it brings along an increase in public transportation
01:29:35fares. This is one of the main problems
01:29:38for citizens. It is
01:29:41becoming a problem.
01:29:45Transportation, urban dolmuş, metro,
01:29:48metrobus, if not for them, we would be in a bad state. Everyone
01:29:52is now crowding into metros, buses, and minibuses. Commuting to
01:29:55work in Istanbul is becoming more expensive every day.
01:29:58Fuel price increases especially strain the budgets of those
01:30:02who go to work with their private cars. The price of a liter of gasoline,
01:30:06which was 53.5 kuruş on the first day of the year,
01:30:09rose to 83.79 kuruş. The price of gasoline
01:30:12increased by 30.74 kuruş since the beginning of the year. The increase rate
01:30:15reached 57.9%. Every day there are increases, every day
01:30:18everything is getting more expensive. We are used to it now. The daily fuel
01:30:22cost for an employee who drives from Kartal to Bağcılar is approximately 540 liras.
01:30:26With the 15 July Martyrs Bridge crossing, the daily cost
01:30:30rises to 658 liras.
01:30:32When used, it rises to approximately 1200 liras. When
01:30:36calculated for 24 working days a month, an employee's
01:30:40monthly transportation expense using the bridge reaches
01:30:4315,792 liras. The monthly bill for those using the Eurasia Tunnel
01:30:46reaches 28,800 liras. We don't have such a budget,
01:30:50unfortunately. I mean, going from here to Çemberlitaş, to that place,
01:30:54it costs 600-700 liras, at least. The taximeters
01:30:57start at very high figures per kilometer. The monthly
01:31:00full fare for those who prefer public transportation is 3,628 liras.
01:31:04Transportation by taxi is much more expensive. A one-way
01:31:08taxi fare from Kartal to Bağcılar is approximately 2,277
01:31:11liras. The round-trip cost reaches 4,554
01:31:15liras. When calculated for 24 working days a month,
01:31:19the monthly bill for a round trip by taxi reaches 109,296
01:31:23liras. First, they don't like the place you want to go. If you are going
01:31:26a short distance, they say "ugh". It's very
01:31:28high. Now, using taxis
01:31:32is already very
01:31:33difficult for low-income
01:31:38people. Now, you know, a regulation was going to be made
01:31:41regarding cigarettes, a regulation regarding the purchase
01:31:44and smoking of cigarettes. However, even within the AK Party,
01:31:47this regulation divided them. The obligation to provide your TC
01:31:51(Republic of Turkey) ID number when buying
01:31:55cigarettes brought about a major debate.
01:31:58For example, Mücahit 1, a former AK Party Central Executive Board
01:32:02member, and a former Central Decision and Executive Board
01:32:05member, said this is a matter concerning the protection of personal data
01:32:08and is not right. Oktay Saral, one of the President's
01:32:12chief advisors, also objected to the situation. Following these
01:32:16objections, a new statement came from Memişoğlu.
01:32:19It is already forbidden for people under a certain
01:32:23age to smoke, it is forbidden to sell to them.
01:32:26This sale will also be made by presenting their TC ID or themselves.
01:32:30This is a very important thing.
01:32:32Smoking is harmful to health. Sales to those under 18
01:32:36are prohibited, and it is even forbidden to smoke in some
01:32:38open areas. However, rule violations are frequent.
01:32:42The Minister of Health will bring a new regulation to parliament
01:32:45to make people quit smoking, prevent sales to those under 18, and minimize
01:32:49harm to non-smokers.
01:32:50However, there is a reaction
01:32:54from within the AKP. The President's Chief Advisor Oktay
01:32:57Saral disagreed with the Minister of Health.
01:33:01We will verify his age. Currently, selling cigarettes to those
01:33:05under 18 is already forbidden. They will also show that. The President's
01:33:08Chief Advisor Oktay Saral said that asking for a TC
01:33:12ID number from a citizen to buy a pack of cigarettes
01:33:16should not be seen as an acceptable practice. He claimed that it would increase
01:33:19Erdoğan's burden due to public reaction.
01:33:22Minister of Health Kemal Memişoğlu
01:33:25stated that smoking in the best parts of cafes, their gardens,
01:33:29or most visible areas will be prevented,
01:33:33and that non-smokers will no longer be relegated to the back.
01:33:36Currently, non-smokers are more disadvantaged,
01:33:40they are in the back. We are correcting that as well.
01:33:44Former AKP member Mücahit 1, like Oktay Saral, also opposed the Minister of Health's
01:33:47regulation requiring a TC ID number for cigarette sales.
01:33:51He reminded that it violates the Personal Data Protection Law.
01:33:54Why should a citizen provide their TC ID to a market or grocery store
01:33:58that is not an official institution? He said if the bill becomes law
01:34:02in this form, it could be struck down
01:34:03by the Constitutional Court.
01:34:07Following the discussion, Minister of Health Kemal Memişoğlu made a statement on his
01:34:10social media account. He wrote that the preparations for the new draft
01:34:14law on this matter are handled within the framework
01:34:17of personal data protection. Our priority is to prevent the sale
01:34:21of tobacco products to children under 18 by age verification.
01:34:24We are evaluating all options, including electronic
01:34:28systems that protect privacy, safeguard personal data, and
01:34:31provide ease of application. We are also handling our new
01:34:35draft law and legislation within this framework,"
01:34:37he wrote.
01:34:41Immediately after, the President's Chief Advisor thanked the Minister
01:34:44for his statement, saying, "I thank our Minister Kemal Memişoğlu
01:34:47for his sensitivity and constructive approach
01:34:51in preventing unnecessary concerns in the public."
01:34:54He said, "We will probably submit it to parliament
01:34:57in a few weeks."
01:35:02A woman is murdered every day in this
01:35:05country. We hear that a woman has been
01:35:08killed in another city, another town.
01:35:11Usually by her ex-husband, her divorced husband.
01:35:15Her working husband, her boyfriend she was trying to leave, her fiancé,
01:35:18or by these psychopathic, neurotic men.
01:35:22However, this is the first time I've heard something like this.
01:35:25This time, the woman was killed by her divorced husband,
01:35:29but just 15 days ago, she had saved that man's
01:35:33life.
01:35:36The woman saved her ex-husband's life, but he took
01:35:40her life. In Trabzon, 33-year-old Gülşe
01:35:43Oktay was shot and killed by her divorced
01:35:47husband, Aydın Yedi Parmak. It was learned that the murdered woman
01:35:50had saved her ex-husband's life two weeks before the incident.
01:35:54The incident occurred on October 6. According to the statement of the perpetrator,
01:35:57Yedi Parmak, the couple had divorced 20 days ago due to debt
01:36:01enforcement. On the day of the incident, they met for their children's identity
01:36:04procedures and started arguing about the debts. As the
01:36:08argument escalated, Yedi Parmak shot Gülşa Hokta with the pistol
01:36:11he had with him. Then he fled the scene.
01:36:15The young woman was hit by exactly 7 bullets. She was taken to surgery but
01:36:18could not be saved. It was learned that the perpetrator,
01:36:22Yedi Parmak, had attempted suicide by taking medication a while before the incident.
01:36:26It emerged that Gürşa Oktay, his ex-wife whom he murdered,
01:36:29had called emergency medical services and saved his life when he attempted suicide
01:36:33due to financial difficulties. Aydın Yedi Parmak, who confessed
01:36:36to the murder, was arrested on charges of intentional homicide
01:36:39and sent to prison.
01:36:42Undoubtedly, one of the ministries that has opened up is the Ministry
01:36:46of National Education. One of its applications, or rather
01:36:49a survey it commissioned, became a step that again brought
01:36:53controversy. Now, as you know, there has been an insistence
01:36:56from the government for years to provide at least one free
01:37:00meal in schools, a demand that is not accepted,
01:37:04unfortunately. But instead of distributing meals,
01:37:07a survey was distributed. For example, do you know what kind of
01:37:10survey this is? It contains questions that could irritate
01:37:13human dignity and upset families.
01:37:16For example, "Which food can your children
01:37:19not consume the most?", "How many times do you get hungry?", "How many
01:37:22hours between meals?" These are the types of questions
01:37:26in this survey. So, society expects food from
01:37:29the ministry, the ministry
01:37:31distributes surveys.
01:37:36For years, free meals and potable water have been requested
01:37:39in schools. The government does not provide it, saying there is no budget.
01:37:43Instead of a budget, it offers a survey. We can't buy it.
01:37:47Maybe I can afford it, but
01:37:50in our school, in our class, there are many parents
01:37:53whom we help who cannot afford it. The Ministry
01:37:57of National Education sent a food survey to teachers and students.
01:38:01There are statements and questions in the survey, with options
01:38:03"strongly disagree," "undecided," "agree," and "strongly
01:38:07agree." There
01:38:10are questions and statements in the survey like "If I eat at school,
01:38:14I focus better in class," "If food is given only to some students, those students might feel embarrassed,"
01:38:18"I sometimes have difficulty focusing in class because I'm hungry at school,"
01:38:21"If food is provided at school, I would eat it every day," "Students' opinions should
01:38:24also be taken into account when preparing the school menu," and "If I'm given a food
01:38:28I don't like, I leave it on my plate."
01:38:31I buy whatever the cheapest fruit juice is. I buy a pastry.
01:38:35My money is still not enough. Do you think this is healthy?
01:38:39There is also a reaction to the questions in the survey. Hacer Foco, founder of the Deep Poverty Network,
01:38:43said her child is not getting enough nutrition.
01:38:51In Turkey, 36.8% of children
01:38:54are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The survey
01:38:57asks about the effect of hunger on academic success. Fogo, on the other hand, said
01:39:01that children might normalize hunger, and a child who does not
01:39:05realize the effect of hunger on learning would still need
01:39:08adequate nutrition. One of the questions
01:39:10is like a confession. There is the statement,
01:39:14"If food is given only to some students, those students might feel embarrassed."
01:39:18Hacerfoggo said that the questions brought the invisible dimension of
01:39:22child poverty into the survey. She stated that it could be made
01:39:25a matter of belonging and honor. She expressed that children
01:39:29should not be forced to make their poverty visible in front of their friends.
01:39:32It was stated that food should be provided
01:39:35instead of surveys.
01:39:39Against the claims of "no budget," there is the example of the fund crisis.
01:39:42With 19 billion dollars, which is 900
01:39:45billion liras, from the fund crisis, a meal can be provided to all
01:39:49students every day for 3.5 years. However, instead
01:39:52of providing food, the government distributes surveys.
01:39:56Every child must receive one meal from school,
01:39:59impartially, equally,
01:40:00and free of charge.
01:40:06The concept of "home youth" is a concept that defines young people who are neither
01:40:10employed nor in education,
01:40:13and it has been circulating in our lives for a long time.
01:40:16Now, it has emerged that one in four
01:40:20young people in Turkey is neither at school,
01:40:23nor employed, nor in working life.
01:40:27This table also reveals a reality: we are
01:40:30well above the world
01:40:32average.
01:40:36They are forced to work for low wages. And those
01:40:40who don't want this, the children who say "I won't work for that money," unfortunately stay at home.
01:40:43According to the data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development,
01:40:47Turkey became the country with the highest rate of "home youth"
01:40:50among member countries. Young people want easy jobs,
01:40:53so they don't prefer other jobs, such as welding
01:40:57in the industrial sector, or such heavy jobs. The concept of "home youth"
01:41:01defines young people who are neither employed nor in education.
01:41:04In Turkey, according to 2025 data, the rate of "home youth"
01:41:08in the 15-29 age group was determined as 27.12%.
01:41:11These young people are neither studying nor working. If there are
01:41:15unemployed young people who are university graduates, this
01:41:19is due to a lack of regular and planned activities.
01:41:22Young people need to work hard. They should not trust
01:41:25anyone. That's the truth.
01:41:28They shouldn't expect anything from the government. The average rate among member countries
01:41:31of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
01:41:34is 12.90%.
01:41:36Turkey, which is at the top of the list, is followed by Colombia
01:41:40with 24% and Mexico with 18%.
01:41:43Young people, teenagers, like to earn quick money.
01:41:47Many students pass through my hands now. At the same time,
01:41:50employers are also very ruthless. So, they
01:41:53pick up the phone, sit in front of the computer. But not working
01:41:57is easier for all of them. According to data from the Turkish Statistical
01:42:00Institute, the rate of "home youth" is 23%. This rate
01:42:03reached 30% for young women. This means one
01:42:07out of every three women is neither in education nor in working life.
01:42:11More opportunities can be given to young people.
01:42:14Instead of finding jobs themselves, more help can be extended to them
01:42:18in finding jobs. I mean, there are no jobs for them to like, right? Are there any jobs?
01:42:21Trabzon
01:42:25is famous for its anchovies and such. That's true, but
01:42:28after many, many years, Trabzon is experiencing
01:42:31an abundance of bonito. Fish stalls
01:42:35have come alive. This year, there is a bonito recital
01:42:38with prices ranging from 50 to 100 liras per kilogram.
01:42:42There
01:42:45was such a bonito boom 12 years ago.
01:42:48Now, the same thing is seen again
01:42:52after 12 years. The Black Sea is experiencing an abundance of bonito.
01:42:55Fish stalls in Trabzon are filled with various
01:42:58kinds of fish. Since the first weeks of the season, bonito
01:43:02has been the most caught fish in the nets. The abundance of the
01:43:05fishing season is reflected in the stalls. Tons and tons,
01:43:09truckloads of bonito are coming. You see, prices
01:43:13vary between 50, 75, and 100 liras. Bonitos weighing approximately 1
01:43:16kilogram, sold for 100 liras per kilogram, are reaching citizens' tables.
01:43:20Not only bonito, but other fish are also available
01:43:23at the stalls.
01:43:30Hake is 100 liras per kilogram, Horse Mackerel is 250,
01:43:34Sea Bream is 300, and Salmon is sold for 350 liras. The price
01:43:38of Sea Bass and Bream reaches 500 liras per kilogram. This year, bonito
01:43:42came with abundance. Bonito became both fattier
01:43:45and tastier. Bonito is now fattier, we have started to have
01:43:49kilogram-sized fish. Fishermen expect the abundance of bonito
01:43:53to continue in the coming
01:43:54weeks.
01:43:58The ranking of the 20 richest countries in the world has changed.
01:44:02Turkey is not in the top 20. Liechtenstein is in first place,
01:44:06with a per capita of 195,000
01:44:10dollars,
01:44:11it is at the top.
01:44:15These people pay rent, they pay for things, how can they live?
01:44:18They can buy, they can eat. These people are always poor. Beyond
01:44:22the necessity of eating and drinking to survive, you have to cut back
01:44:26in all other areas. The ranking of the world's
01:44:30richest countries has changed, with Europe's small
01:44:33economies coming to the forefront. According to the International
01:44:36Monetary Fund's 2026 data, per capita gross domestic product
01:44:40based on purchasing power parity. Liechtenstein, which ranked
01:44:43first with a per capita gross domestic product
01:44:46of 195,372 dollars,
01:44:49was followed by Singapore and Ireland.
01:44:52Turkey, on the other hand, could not enter
01:44:55the top 20 richest countries in the world.
01:44:59Currently, the per capita national
01:45:03income has reached $9,500.
01:45:07So, what happened? What
01:45:10were they saying? Every day our purchasing power decreases,
01:45:13every day, not just every month, every day
01:45:16our purchasing power is pulled down a bit. I don't know
01:45:20what to do. In the last 20 years, significant changes have occurred
01:45:23in the ranking. Singapore, which was in 9th place in 2006,
01:45:26rose to second. Guyana, which grew rapidly with oil
01:45:30production, surpassed the US. If they can pay their rent and bills,
01:45:34they say "thank God." Do we make calculations?
01:45:37How can we not? If you don't,
01:45:40you can't get out of
01:45:43the situation.
01:45:46There was a nice weather last weekend, this
01:45:49false spring, the last days
01:45:52of summer, also known as
01:45:54Indian summer, are over. From tomorrow, cool weather is coming,
01:45:58temperatures will drop by 8 degrees.
01:46:00Sunny weather, clear
01:46:04skies, and temperatures above seasonal norms
01:46:07in October. Days like summer.
01:46:11The weather in Turkey is
01:46:13changing again.
01:46:16The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Disaster Coordination Center
01:46:19announced that cool and torrential rain is expected in the city starting
01:46:22Monday. Along with the rain, temperatures
01:46:26will also drop. Especially starting Tuesday, the cool
01:46:29weather will be felt more. While temperatures in Marmara are expected
01:46:33to drop to between 16 and 21 degrees,
01:46:36in some regions the drop will be as much as 8
01:46:40degrees.
01:46:43Moreover, this rainy weather wave
01:46:47it will continue uninterruptedly in the form of thunderstorms
01:46:51all over the country on Tuesday, Wednesday and
01:46:53Thursday.
01:46:56Temperatures will also drop gradually in the 3 big cities.
01:46:59In Istanbul, the highest temperature, which is expected to reach 25
01:47:03degrees on Monday, will drop to 21 degrees on Tuesday.
01:47:06In Ankara, temperatures starting from 26 degrees are expected
01:47:10to drop to 19 degrees in the middle of the week, and in Izmir,
01:47:13they are expected to drop from 28
01:47:15degrees to 21 degrees.
01:47:20United States President Donald Trump has left everything
01:47:23and is now demanding that an ocean be named after him.
01:47:26This is the level,
01:47:28in narcissism.
01:47:30He made the Gulf of Mexico the American Gulf, and Lake Ontario Lake
01:47:34America. Now he's obsessed with the
01:47:37oceans.
01:47:48Trump spoke at a campaign event on Saturday, and in
01:47:51a tone that was unclear whether it was a joke or real, he referred
01:47:55to places he had previously renamed.
01:47:58He said, "We have our gulf, we have our lake, now
01:48:01we need an ocean." For the Atlantic or Pacific
01:48:04oceans, Trump suggested the names Trump Ocean or
01:48:08American Continental Ocean.
01:48:13At the same event, Trump also touched on the issue of Iran. He
01:48:17argued that Iran is a very evil country, the number one
01:48:20terrorism sponsor. Then he brought up another name change he
01:48:24had previously suggested. He said that they are considering changing
01:48:27the name of the Strait of Hormuz to Trump Strait. Trump had previously
01:48:31made the same claim, and even shared a fictional map
01:48:34showing it.
01:48:40In the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump wants to rename, tension
01:48:44was high again over the weekend. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps
01:48:47announced that a supertanker sailing in the Strait of Hormuz hit
01:48:51a sea mine and then an explosion occurred.
01:48:54The statement said that the fate of any ship that does not
01:48:57listen to the rules in Hormuz is a horrific
01:49:00fire.
01:49:02The Revolutionary Guards did not share who owned the ship, which
01:49:06is called a supertanker because it can carry up to two
01:49:12million barrels of oil. However, the United Arab Emirates had announced on the same day
01:49:16that a fire broke out on a tanker in the Gulf and that
01:49:1922 crew members were rescued.
01:49:23We have completed our final news, we are leaving
01:49:26by thanking our dear Ali Araya for his editorial support,
01:49:29all the Halk TV News
01:58:18Good evening, and welcome to Halk TV. We are with
01:58:21you with "Söz Sende," dear viewers. Today is October
01:58:2511th, Sunday. We are slowly preparing to
01:58:28complete a breathless week. What we are curious about
01:58:32is what new developments the new week will bring.
01:58:36Of course, we will talk about the fund scandal that left
01:58:39hundreds of thousands of victims with tears in their eyes,
01:58:43and important political developments are taking place.
01:58:46The fund investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief
01:58:49Public Prosecutor's Office continues. It was revealed
01:58:52that 214 people made a total of 187
01:58:55billion liras from 3 funds. After the figure of 214,
01:58:59given by Justice Minister Akın Gürlek, the question
01:59:02arose whether these people would be announced. This
01:59:05question was asked to Abdullah Güler, the group deputy chairman
01:59:09of the Justice and Development Party, and he said that
01:59:12they have the right not to be stained. When this
01:59:16happened, citizens asked. For example, in Mersin,
01:59:19did the woman whose door was knocked on at dawn and
01:59:23whose pajama-clad images were published in the media
01:59:27not have the right not to be stained? We will talk about this
01:59:30and many other important developments in the coming
01:59:34minutes. We have our esteemed
02:00:13Economist Professor Dr. Yalçın Karatepe is also with us. Mr.
