00:00:00after 3 months, we are talking about a completely different person and a completely different scenario. Probably there is no such thing, I mean, there are exorbitant returns, but when you don't set a criterion for what is exorbitant, what is the starting date, when you don't set any criteria for these, then a news report comes out saying 187 billion, another news report says 401 billion. These 187 billion and 401 billion probably overlap. I mean, we might be making a mistake by adding them up. So they want us to take some information from them in a fog and interpret it. There is a benefit in being transparent. When Mehmet Şimşek took over from Nurettin Nebahat in 2023, what did he say? Transparency, accountability, international standards. Now, in an investigation of this magnitude, where a loss of about 20 billion dollars is mentioned, I say don't announce the names of the people, but at least number them, let's know who withdrew how much money on what date, how much of it was an exorbitant return, and how much was not. Let's put it into a standard, so we can make a calculation within it. As long as these things don't happen, as I said, we are trying to comment in a fog. Well, let me add this to the public funds part, Kerim Bey, Emlak Katılım bought 1.5 billion units of Katılım Ev shares from Tera, and we are talking about approximately 12 billion Turkish liras at current prices. A similar situation will undoubtedly occur with Pusula. Cevdet Yılmaz says public funds will not be transferred, but I think we saw the first transfer of public funds, at least clearly, in Emlak Katılım, can we say that? Yes, there is a lot of obfuscation there as well, that is, the share price in that table.
00:00:25October 12, 2026, Monday. We have started a new week and
00:00:28a busy week. This week's agenda will be quite
00:00:32busy. We will continue to talk about the fund fraud, as we did
00:00:36in previous weeks. There are new statements made today.
00:00:39The statements made by Cevdet Yılmaz were important.
00:00:43There is a detail that has been said for days, that
00:00:46public funds will not be transferred, but
00:00:50today such a development did not occur. We will look at whether
00:00:54public funds are being transferred or not. It's a critical week
00:00:57in the IBB case. We expect the second hearing
00:01:01to conclude this week. Ekrem İmamoğlu, who could not make
00:01:04his defense at the end of the first hearing,
00:01:07will he be able to make his defense this week? Will he be given only
00:01:11two days again? We will ask these questions soon, and
00:01:14another hot development of the day is reflected on your screens, dear
00:01:17viewers. Now, today, Zeynel Emri, the spokesperson
00:01:21of the New Party, made statements and touched upon this issue.
00:01:25Which one? The Antalya Metropolitan Municipality.
00:01:28In recent days, especially due to some statements, the question
00:01:31of whether he would join the AKP came to the agenda. Büşra
00:01:35Hanım stated that she spoke with our chairman
00:01:39and there is no such situation. Büşra Özdemir also
00:01:42broke her silence and said that she is doing politics in the CHP
00:01:46and of course she can meet with ministries, but
00:01:50she said she will continue to stay in the CHP. At the same time,
00:01:53we will bring a piece of Ms. Büşra's voice to your screens.
00:01:57Her speech at the City Council in October. "Actually,
00:02:00Ms. Büşra also touched upon this issue.
00:02:04In recent days, actually for the last 15 months, a lot of news
00:02:07has been made about me, you must have noticed. I have a habit
00:02:11of not answering, let's say this is my nature. I don't
00:02:15answer any of them, but I will answer, because for a week now,
00:02:18a very tiring process has begun. I came to office in a very difficult
00:02:22period, I took over a difficult duty, and I believe that I have
00:02:25done my best in this duty, I am trying to be worthy
00:02:29of the responsibility. I do politics under the roof of the
00:02:33Republican People's Party. As the Deputy Mayor of Antalya
00:02:36Metropolitan Municipality, I approach with great courtesy, that is, when
00:02:39talking about someone, I ask people
00:02:43to be more courteous and more thoughtful.
00:02:46Let me also say this: of course, we meet with our
00:02:50ministries. Antalya is not only Turkey's
00:02:54but also the world's tourism paradise, the capital of our country's
00:02:57agriculture and tourism, a city. And since
00:03:01the first day, most of you know me from a long time
00:03:04ago, I have always not used a very political discourse,
00:03:08I have always approached everyone with courtesy, because
00:03:10I believe that local government is independent of politics, that
00:03:14serious politics, that is, serious political
00:03:17discourses, should be made by members of parliament,
00:03:20provincial and district chairs. As such, our responsibility
00:03:23is to serve this city, because we were elected
00:03:27to serve this city. "Yes, for this
00:03:30reason, I meet with our ministries, with all relevant institutions,
00:03:34with great respect and courtesy, and I receive
00:03:37very good responses from them. This is a mutual approach,
00:03:40a mutual dialogue. We approach with great respect,
00:03:43and we also see very good attitudes. From our Ministry of Environment
00:03:47and Urbanization,
00:03:50So I am being accused of an authority from our Minister of Youth and Sports for our Golden Orange application I just mentioned, and from
00:03:54all our other relevant organizations, from our provincial directors,
00:03:58from our esteemed governorship, we have developed positive dialogues
00:04:02with our ministries, and I still
00:04:02believe that this is good for
00:04:06this city and that I am doing the right thing." We brought
00:04:09the statements of Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Deputy Mayor Büşra
00:04:12Özdemir's speech in the council in October to your screens. So,
00:04:16if you ask where this rumor came from, AKP Deputy Chairman
00:04:19Hasan Basri Yalçın said, "I won't mention names, but
00:04:22there is another metropolitan municipality in line."
00:04:26A journalist close to the government and expected to join the AKP,
00:04:34Sinan Burhan, had also pointed to it, and as we said today,
00:04:37the spokesperson of the New Party held a press conference minutes
00:04:41ago. He was asked this question
00:04:45there and he answered, "There is no such situation." Zeynel
00:04:48Emre conveyed that Ms. Büşra had a meeting
00:04:52with our chairman this morning and said that such a thing
00:04:56is out of the question. Let's emphasize this once again. Now,
00:05:00As we said, it's a critical
00:05:03week today. We are also waiting for Ekrem İmamoğlu to speak.
00:05:07If I remember correctly, 17 people's defenses were left
00:05:11last time. Today and tomorrow,
00:05:28those 17 people will finish. Yes, there was a break, after which a new
00:05:32name, Selim Marangoz, was called to the stand. With this, 16
00:05:35names remained, including Ekrem İmamoğlu. It is expected that
00:05:3815 people will finish within these two days, and on Wednesday
00:05:42at the earliest, İmamoğlu will begin his defense.
00:05:45You started with the fund, and I would like to say something
00:05:49about that as well, because this is one of the very frequently
00:05:52discussed topics. İmamoğlu said it while making his defense
00:05:55in his own cases, and today, we heard it again with the slogan
00:05:59shouted from the audience tribune: "Funders out, presidents in."
00:06:02With these slogans, the break ended, and as I said, the defenses
00:06:06continue from where they left off. We are in the 9th and final
00:06:10week for the second hearing, and as of this morning,
00:06:13the defenses have begun. Important names,
00:06:16especially those in the additional indictment, are making their defenses.
00:06:20There was a request this morning, and a result was obtained regarding
00:06:23this request, we can say that. There were 7 names in the additional
00:06:26indictment who were not arrested, but had judicial control measures
00:06:30in the form of house arrest, meaning they could not leave their
00:06:34homes. It was expected that an evaluation would be made over
00:06:37the file for these 7 names on Friday, but it was not done.
00:06:41The lawyers said, "Let's not wait for Thursday." Let's say
00:06:44that before the lunch break, the judicial control measure
00:06:47in the form of not leaving their homes for these 7 names was
00:06:51lifted. Currently, there are only those with a travel ban abroad,
00:06:53and there are names among the unarrested
00:06:57names who have judicial control measures in the form of signing
00:07:01in. It started with Oktay Özer this morning, as I just said.
00:07:04After he completed his defense, Murat Ongun asked him a question.
00:07:08Murat Ongun asked a question based on an allegation made
00:07:12in Deniz Dörtyol's defense in the last session last week,
00:07:16and he said, "What do you say about the allegation that the advertisement
00:07:19in Karaköy was removed? Did we make this decision?"
00:07:23Oktay Özel said, "Because the historical structure's silhouette was damaged,
00:07:26it was outside our decision. I remember that the Ministry
00:07:30of Culture Protection Board had a decision to remove it." Immediately
00:07:33after that, Mustafa Duhan Demir was one of the names from the
00:07:37indictment, and after him, Sezer Adaateş, Eren Sönmez.
00:07:41These are the names who say they rejected the charges because
00:07:44they were not based on concrete evidence. Selim Marangos is
00:07:48currently at the stand, as I just mentioned, and he is
00:07:51the 328th person to be heard. A total of 353 people are expected
00:07:55to be heard. When we exclude the fugitive names,
00:07:59there are currently 16 names remaining, including Ekrem İmamoğlu.
00:08:03However, there are also important names among these 16 names.
00:08:06For example, Ahmet Çiçek is expected to be heard today.
00:08:09Muhittin Palazoğlu had actually submitted an excuse today,
00:08:13but there is a possibility that he will be called and make
00:08:16his defense today. If that happens, since the questions of these
00:08:20names who benefit from effective repentance take a very long
00:08:24time, we expect this session to last for many hours.
00:08:27In the coming day, especially the detained
00:08:31names will be heard, and we expect Ekrem İmamoğlu
00:08:35to be next on Wednesday at the earliest. However,
00:08:38"appropriate time and reasonable duration" was said. This was
00:08:42the reason why Ekrem İmamoğlu did not make his defense
00:08:45in the first hearing. It was because a limited
00:08:49time was given. A debate arose over this, and the hearing
00:08:52was concluded by saying that he was using his right
00:08:56to remain silent. The hearing was actually concluded
00:08:59one day earlier than the target date. Here too, I think
00:09:02Ekrem İmamoğlu will be given about one and a half days.
00:09:06There are 155 actions with the additional indictment,
00:09:10and he is held responsible for 154 of them. One
00:09:13and a half days will be given for his defense based
00:09:17on these. If it starts on Wednesday, his lawyers
00:09:20will also make their defenses, and at the same time,
00:09:24an interim decision will be made on Thursday.
00:09:27In that interim decision, a decision will be made about
00:09:31the 53 arrested people. We will see if a release decision
00:09:34is made. So, it seems that a very limited time will be
00:09:37given again. We will see in the coming days whether a
00:09:40debate will arise regarding this. After Thursday,
00:09:44there will be a break of at most two weeks,
00:09:48and the third hearing will begin at the beginning of November.
00:09:52If two weeks are given in the first week,
00:09:55and then at the end of the third hearing,
00:09:58the opinion on the merits is expected to be heard, and the process
00:10:01is expected to progress quickly. But what will happen this week,
00:10:05when will İmamoğlu be given the floor, what will be asked
00:10:08of the names who benefit from effective repentance, what will
00:10:12be said? We are following all of it, let's say,
00:10:16to convey it to you. Yes, we thank Gamze Altunay.
00:10:20Ekrem İmamoğlu, who is on trial for 154 of the 155 actions,
00:10:23as far as we understand, will again be given
00:10:26a period of 1.5 days in the second hearing,
00:10:30just like at the end of the first hearing.
00:10:33Will he speak during that time, or how much will he be able
00:10:37to say even if he speaks? We will also follow this
00:10:39on Wednesday and Thursday.
00:10:42Now, what's on Turkey's agenda? There are bar elections,
00:10:46and important and critical statements are also coming
00:10:49from the bar elections. We will evaluate them soon, but
00:10:53the statements of the Ankara
00:11:01No. 2 Bar Association, which have been widely discussed
00:11:05in recent days, the "favoritism confession"
00:11:09in quotation marks, also led to his withdrawal
00:11:12from candidacy. Another hot topic of the day, we will
00:11:16evaluate it soon. So, if you ask what is happening
00:11:19in the bar elections, if we go from Ankara-Istanbul,
00:11:23Elçin Özge Şimşek Çağlayan was elected as the Head of
00:11:26Ankara Bar Association with 5848 votes.
00:11:30In Istanbul No. 2 Bar Association, 3 candidates competed.
00:11:33Rıza Saka was elected as the head with 1022 votes.
00:11:37Ali Kasım Tunay, the candidate supported by the Ak Party,
00:11:40said he would object to the election results,
00:11:44and this objection is a bit like... The AKP objected to the deputy mayoralty
00:11:47elections in the municipalities, and during that objection process,
00:11:50they won through arrests and transfers. Are we heading
00:11:54towards such a point
00:11:57in the bar elections as well? We will discuss this soon.
00:12:01A member of the Ak Party, Şamil Tayyar, made a post
00:12:05on social media about this. The discussion about the Istanbul
00:12:08No. 2 Bar Association election continues.
00:12:10In the past, the fight would be between the "right"
00:12:14and "left," as the classical term goes. Now, micro
00:12:17fights have started. Over the Istanbul No. 2 Bar Association,
00:12:21it is happening between the pro-government right and the opposition right. In the last
00:12:25election, the Ak Party members who lost the management
00:12:29in the Ankara No. 2 Bar Association lost in Istanbul again.
00:12:32There are only two No. 2 bar associations,
00:12:36and we have lost in both. Six years ago, when this law
00:12:40was being passed, we repeatedly stated that it was wrong.
00:12:44The division of bar associations, their categorization with political
00:12:47epithets... What happened now? It didn't
00:12:50even benefit those who said, "Let it be small, let it be mine."
00:12:53I hope they don't say,
00:12:56"Let's establish a No. 3 bar association" now, said Şamil Tayyar.
00:12:59About 5-6 years ago,
00:13:03the establishment of No. 2 bar associations,
00:13:06their political impact or the impact of politics
00:13:09on them, we will discuss this issue soon. But until now,
00:13:12with the conclusion of the bar elections that have taken place,
00:13:16bar elections are being held across Turkey.
00:13:19On one side, there are cries of "Allahu Akbar," on the other
00:13:23side, the second female president of the 102-year-old
00:13:26bar association. Four candidates competed
00:13:30for the presidency of the Ankara Bar Association.
00:13:33Elçin Özge Şimşek Çağlayan, the candidate of the Democratic
00:13:36Left Lawyers Group,
00:13:39won the presidential election with 5848 votes.
00:13:42Çağlayan became the second female president
00:13:45of the Ankara Bar Association, founded in 1924.
00:13:48Doğukan Kozan, the candidate of the Turkish Nationalist
00:13:52Lawyers Group, received
00:13:572997 votes. Funda Şahin, the candidate of the
00:14:00Lawyers' Rights Group, received 2816 votes.
00:14:04Mehmet Kaplan, the candidate of the Democratic Lawyers Change
00:14:07Group, received 427 votes.
00:14:10"I promise that I will manage this bar with all our colors.
00:14:13I promise that I will leave this podium, which I came to
00:14:17with applause, with applause." After the multi-bar law,
00:14:21which came into force in July 2020,
00:14:25the Istanbul No. 2 Bar Association, which was established, also held
00:14:28its presidential election. Three candidates competed in
00:14:31the election. Rıza Saka received 1022 votes.
00:14:35Ali Kasım Tuna received 1016 votes.
00:14:38Murat Güneş received 51 votes. Tuna, who was supported
00:14:42by the AKP and MHP, lost the elections according
00:14:45to the results. Rıza Saka, who was supported
00:14:48by groups in Istanbul and lawyers of Milli Görüş
00:14:51origin, won the election. After the results,
00:14:55cries of "Allahu Akbar" rose.
00:14:58Tuna, who was 6 votes behind his opponent in the
00:15:02election where a total of 31 votes were deemed invalid,
00:15:06said that they did not accept the results and announced that they objected
00:15:10to the election board. Now let's continue with
00:15:14the Head of Ankara No. 2 Bar Association. Gökhan Ağdemir
00:15:17participated in a program on live television,
00:15:21made statements there, and so to speak,
00:15:25he virtually confessed to ministerial favoritism.
00:15:28He said that they referred 70 members to ministries
00:15:31and enabled them to become judges and prosecutors.
00:15:35Of course, when you look at the reactions that started
00:15:38to be discussed, the reactions of "Is the No. 2
00:15:42Bar Association a bar that guarantees judgeships
00:15:44and prosecutorships?" came to the forefront. But
00:15:48Özgür Çelik made a different and striking statement.
00:15:51He was also a guest on Halk TV this morning.
00:15:54He asked, "How many of these are assigned to municipal
00:15:58cases?" That is, Özgür Çelik asked how many
00:16:02of those 70 personnel or perhaps more,
00:16:06are assigned to municipal cases.
00:16:10The ministry granted us a privilege.
00:16:13It gave privilege to 70 lawyers to become judges
00:16:17and prosecutors. He says, "We became a reference."
00:16:20"We became a reference. We mediated." Now, how can this be taken
00:16:23out of context? That is, what has Turkey been
00:16:26discussing for many years, Deniz Bey? The issue of interviews,
00:16:30right? Promises were made before the elections. It was said that interviews
00:16:34would be abolished. People take KPSS exams.
00:16:37They get high scores in certain proportions, but those
00:16:41who get low scores become teachers, prosecutors,
00:16:45judges instead of others because they have political
00:16:48connections in Ankara. They work in various positions
00:16:51in the state. This is exactly the point where
00:16:55Turkey says that when we talk about the politicization
00:16:59of the judiciary, the trust in the judiciary
00:17:02in Turkey today has fallen below 20%.
00:17:06In the cases in Silivri, the president of the court
00:17:09committee is in my and your age range on average,
00:17:12but when you look at the members next to him,
00:17:16young judges aged 22, 23, 25 are serving there.
00:17:19Now, of course, young people should serve in important areas,
00:17:23the way should be opened for young people, this is a separate
00:17:26issue, but first, those judges should serve in different
00:17:29cases, and after gaining a certain experience,
00:17:33they should be able to look at the most important cases
00:17:36in the 103-year history of the Republic, such as
00:17:39the IBB case. Therefore, as the Istanbul Provincial
00:17:42Chairman, I ask and wonder, how many lawyers did the
00:17:45No. 2 Bar Association in Istanbul mediate for
00:17:48in terms of judgeship and prosecutorship?
00:17:52How many of these, in some way,
00:17:56in the municipal operations, in the arrests
00:17:59in the municipal operations...
00:18:08again seen in this process that twisting a statement
00:18:12out of context and distorting it to different
00:18:15meanings, creating a perception based on certain
00:18:19expressions, and reducing two years of effort
00:18:22to a single discussion leads to deliberate
00:18:26and malicious distortions," he said. His statements were
00:18:29extremely clear, quite clear. It was a speech he made
00:18:32on a television program, but he said it like this.
00:18:35He made a similar statement
00:18:37the other day as well. He said, "The success of our
00:18:41bar associations and our young colleagues in the legal profession
00:18:44is being made a tool of these discussions."
00:18:47He said, "For this reason, in order to prevent
00:18:50the discussions created in the public against
00:18:54me from harming the institution I represent any further,
00:18:57to protect the reputation of our bar association,
00:19:01and to prevent the ethical values of the legal
00:19:05profession from becoming a tool for cheap politics
00:19:08any further, I announce to the public
00:19:12that I have decided to withdraw from my candidacy for the chairmanship of the Ankara
00:19:16No. 2 Bar Association." Now we will discuss
00:19:19this and more. Of course, the words here are also
00:19:22striking. He said, "in order to prevent the ethical values of the legal
00:19:26profession from becoming a tool for cheap politics
00:19:29any further," but are we already talking
00:19:33about the politicization of the judiciary here,
00:19:36when we look at his initial statements? we will also ask.
00:19:40Lawyer Avşin Natipoğlu is with us. Welcome.
00:19:43Hello, good broadcast, glad to be here. Thank you.
00:19:47Now, the statements of the Head
00:19:49of Ankara No. 2 Bar Association, which he made on a television
00:19:52program, fell like a bomb on the agenda.
00:19:55He said, "My words were taken out of context."
00:19:59Well, do you think they were taken out of context,
00:20:02because he draws attention to the same point in this statement
00:20:05as well? At the same time, he said that he withdrew
00:20:09his candidacy. But it seems that
00:20:12the issue should not be closed with his withdrawal
00:20:16from candidacy. What do you say?
00:20:19If it was taken out of context, why did he resign then,
00:20:22why did he withdraw his candidacy? He shouldn't have withdrawn,
00:20:26he should have insisted. Also, there is a wordplay there,
00:20:30he withdrew his candidacy, he is still the head
00:20:33of the No. 2 bar association, isn't he? Gökhan Aydemir is
00:20:40the head of the No. 2 bar association, as far as I know.
00:20:43This means he has not resigned from his current bar presidency,
00:20:47he has only withdrawn his candidacy. Let's put this on record.
00:20:51If it was taken out of context and he is innocent and a victim
00:20:54in this matter, he shouldn't have resigned then.
00:20:57As Gizem Hanım says, "the tongue stumbles, the truth emerges."
00:21:01Here, a surprise occurred.
00:21:03Getting carried away by the charm of words
00:21:07on live television revealed the truth,
00:21:11and this was seen. They were embarrassed.
00:21:14With the emergence of the things they did in the
00:21:16background, this picture emerged before
00:21:20us. They couldn't stand behind it and had to resign,
00:21:24or rather, run again. The purpose
00:21:27of establishing the No. 2 bar associations was clear.
00:21:30The Istanbul Bar Association also considers itself
00:21:33the bar association of the Ummah.
00:21:37Bar associations are constitutional organizations
00:21:39that are organized to protect the rights
00:21:43of lawyers, to support them in continuing
00:21:47their professional lives, and in this context,
00:21:51to protect human rights, and to provide people
00:21:54with the law they need. They are not
00:21:57for the Ummah or any ideology or
00:22:01a nation, but rather places that are at the center
00:22:04of humanity, protecting the rights of humanity.
00:22:08For this reason, bar associations should be
00:22:12free from all ideologies, they should be plain, they should be
00:22:15nesten. Bar associations should not be used
00:22:19as a transitional stage to judgeship and prosecutorship.
00:22:22With such confessions, we clearly saw how
00:22:25the AK Party government has governed us for 25
00:22:29years, and by what methods
00:22:32and with what kind of people it has worked. The public
00:22:36also saw this. So, is there proof of favoritism?
00:22:39Well, here's the proof. He confessed, and then he resigned.
00:22:43This is a clear document, a clear
00:22:46document that names close to the AK Party government
00:22:50were made judges and prosecutors. It's a document of evidence,
00:22:54because it wasn't denied, Gizem Hanım.
00:22:57The Ministry of Justice didn't deny it. When I say
00:23:00the Ministry of Justice didn't deny it,
00:23:03actually the main addressee of the issue is the HSK,
00:23:07but the Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek is at the head
00:23:10of the HSK anyway. No, justice,
00:23:13the Ministry of Justice does it. I was eliminated
00:23:16from the judgeship interview. Both judgeship and governorship.
00:23:39The Ministry of Interior conducts the governorship interview,
00:23:43and the Ministry of Justice conducts the judgeship interview.
00:23:46Well, now, you know that in recent weeks
00:23:50we have been asking, "Who are the fund fraudsters?"
00:23:54Just as we haven't received an answer to that,
00:23:57as far as I understand, in the coming period,
00:24:00we will continue to ask, "Who are these 70 people
00:24:04in Ankara?" Will there be an answer to this,
00:24:08and I wonder, who are these 70 people,
00:24:11and who mediated for these 70 people,
00:24:14and what positions are they currently holding?
00:24:18I think this should be shared with the public,
00:24:22I should say. I was eliminated from six
00:24:25interviews, from six different institutions
00:24:28and professions. One of them was administrative
00:24:32judiciary judgeship. events, these are not very secretive
00:24:35events, they are all out in the open, everything is in
00:24:38front of everyone's eyes, everyone
00:24:41knows this, here, it's not about discussing a person's
00:24:44entry into that profession over the judiciary, of course this should be discussed,
00:24:48that's right, for example, Mr. ____'s statement is a scandal, this
00:24:52is a separate issue, this is also a scandal because
00:24:55it's about luring lawyers, so to speak, they are trying to gather
00:24:59members, they are telling young lawyers that if you choose
00:25:02Bar Association No. 2, this is also a career stage for judges and prosecutors
00:25:06at the same time, this is the message implicitly given, this is what
00:25:10they essentially want to convey, for example, the losing member of Bar Association No. 2
00:25:14in Istanbul, the losing member in Istanbul, our colleague
00:25:17said, our goal is to reach 7 members. Now, how will I reach
00:25:217,000 members, is this a cooperative? How will I reach 7,000 members? There is a logic
00:25:24to this, the bar association profession, the bar
00:25:28organization, the legal profession requires highly qualified
00:25:31people, moreover, in Istanbul Bar Association No. 1,
00:25:34are in the archives and system of the Ministry
00:25:38of Justice, just like all judges and prosecutors,
00:25:41all governors, and won. Our colleague
00:25:45who won there became a candidate 5
00:25:47days ago and won in 5 days. Is it an election? This
00:25:51is a government that loses elections everywhere, so they lost
00:25:55here too. Now, to answer your question, we need to look at this here,
00:25:58uh, the judiciary and courts, judges
00:26:02and prosecutors. "They are admitted to the profession with different
00:26:05procedures and principles, this does not mean, let's explain that too,
00:26:09these corrupt practices, these nepotism practices have lasted for
00:26:1325 years, so they are always discussed through the AK Party,
00:26:16because it lasted so long, 25 years ago, in the recruitment
00:26:19of judges, prosecutors, inspectors, and district governors,
00:26:22the government officials of that time also resorted to this,
00:26:26that's why interviews should be abolished, so that no one
00:26:29else can resort to this and enter." We need
00:26:33to ask, how do we conduct the TUS exam, how do we select
00:26:37pediatricians, general surgeons, neurosurgeons, ophthalmologists?
00:26:40Medical faculty graduates take the exam, get their score, are placed
00:26:44in their specialty, go, and do their job, right? You also introduce an exam here,
00:26:47at most you put a security investigation,
00:26:51and you admit them to the profession according to their score ranking. Look,
00:26:54wherever there are people, these kinds of things are
00:26:57always done, human beings,
00:27:01because April, rebellion like that, everywhere, this
00:27:04and that, slowly starts to move, it has
00:27:08such a relaxed structure. It's not possible for these things
00:27:11not to happen in a 25-year government. Whoever
00:27:14takes power, they will do similar things. One must be rational,
00:27:17one must be reasonable. Whoever comes, they will resort to these things.
00:27:21That's why this interview business should be completely abolished. But
00:27:25since judges and prosecutors are recruited with a certain
00:27:28procedure and principle, saying that they act completely
00:27:31under the government's control would be an excessive interpretation, not a correct interpretation,
00:27:35one needs to look at it on a case-by-case basis, on a file-by-file basis, on a topic-by-topic basis,
00:27:39here, one should not leave an entire professional
00:27:42group under suspicion, as a lawyer, at least,
00:27:46I am not a politician, as a lawyer I would like to maintain that line,
00:27:50the fact that this resignation followed this scandal
00:27:52is something we are not used to in our country, and I congratulate
00:27:56him for that, that is, he made a mistake here,
00:27:59the mistake has been beneficial for the public's information, but this...
00:28:03through this, he has let down his own bar association,
00:28:06his own friends, and he has withdrawn from his position
00:28:09by saying he will not run again, which is extremely
00:28:13appropriate, it should be evaluated in this way, absolutely.
00:28:16Thank you very much, Afşin Hatipoğlu, for joining us
00:28:19and for your contributions. Thank you.
00:28:23Dear viewers, Ankara Bar Association No. 2 President Gökhan Ağdemir said
00:28:26that his words were taken out of context,
00:28:30that he mediated 70 lawyers
00:28:32becoming judges and prosecutors, that they gave references, he had
00:28:36openly stated this, and as we said, he withdrew
00:28:39from his candidacy about half an hour ago,
00:28:43we have evaluated that too. Now, on the one hand,
00:28:46we are talking about politics, on the other hand, the legal system,
00:28:50the intertwining of events there, the politicization
00:28:53of the judiciary, and another aspect of this is undoubtedly
00:28:57the press, and when we talk about the press in Turkey,
00:29:00we are talking about press freedom. The pressures on press and freedom
00:29:04of expression in Turkey were revealed by the September report
00:29:07prepared by Utku Çakırözer, Vice President
00:29:11of the New Party.
00:29:11Who will apologize
00:29:16for what has been done to journalists, whose profession is to report news,
00:29:19to people whose profession is to ask questions? Utku Çakırözer,
00:29:23Vice President of the New Party responsible for Media, shared
00:29:26the Press Freedom report revealing the violations
00:29:30in the last two months. According to the report,
00:29:33in September, journalists appeared before judges at least 50 times
00:29:37and access was blocked to approximately 1,350,000
00:29:40social media accounts. The AK Party government is usurping the public's
00:29:44right to information by arresting journalists, imposing house
00:29:47arrest, and blocking access to news websites and social media accounts.
00:29:51Censorship and judicial pressure have now turned into a systematic
00:29:54form of governance, not an exceptional one. In the century's
00:29:58prominent fund crisis, it is not those who defrauded the nation,
00:30:01but the journalists who exposed them who are arrested.
00:30:04In the last 2 months, many journalists, from Oya Lale Özan Arslan,
00:30:08Ali Tarakçı, Tuğba Terek to Selahattin Günday and
00:30:11Fatih Ergin, have been arrested and sent to prison. The report
00:30:15included not only judicial decisions but also physical
00:30:18and verbal attacks that journalists faced in the field. Reporters
00:30:22covering news were detained. Cameramen were attacked.
00:30:25Many names, including İsmail Arı, Canan Coşkun,
00:30:28Kazım Kızıl, Ruşen Çakır, faced investigations and
00:30:32lawsuits due to their news and statements.
00:30:36Utku Çakır Özer
00:30:37also laid
00:30:40bare the toll of digital censorship in his press report.
00:30:44In September, 1350 social media accounts were
00:30:47blocked. While news websites like T24 Evrensel Kısadalga
00:30:51were blocked, social media accounts that reported access
00:30:54blocks with documents were also blocked.
00:30:57Access was blocked
00:31:00to dozens of news stories that closely concerned
00:31:03the public, from the fund crisis to the documentary
00:31:07Şeytantepe, which covered the Narin Güren murder and the Rojin
00:31:11Kabehiş file. Çakırözer stated that the accounts
00:31:15of rights organizations and economists were also
00:31:19targeted, saying
00:31:19that where the press is silenced,
00:31:24the public's right to information is destroyed. Now that we are
00:31:27talking about press freedom, let's continue with comedian Deniz
00:31:31Göktaş. He had a stand-up show, he had been doing it for years,
00:31:35he uploaded it to YouTube. Afterwards, as you know, the arrest
00:31:38and trial process began. He remained in prison for 88
00:31:41days. Now he has given an interview to the New York Times, saying
00:31:45he doesn't regret it for a second. He also shared and conveyed
00:31:48his experiences during his time
00:31:49in prison. Here are the
00:31:53details. Comedian Deniz Göktaş spoke for the first time about
00:31:57his experiences in prison, saying he didn't regret it for a second.
00:32:01"I am very happy to be reunited with my family, my mother,
00:32:04my father, my friends." Deniz Göktaş was arrested in June, just
00:32:07one week after publishing his show on YouTube,
00:32:11on charges including insulting the president. He remained
00:32:15in prison for 88 days. After his release, he gave
00:32:18his first interview to the New York Times. He announced that he had written
00:32:22a new 20-minute show during his days in prison.
00:32:25"Will we see you on stage again in stand-up shows?" "I don't know,
00:32:28let me see, let me write something." Did Deniz Göktaş expect
00:32:32to be released at the first hearing? "I did not expect to be released.
00:32:35I felt a great leap. Everyone who read my defense, my lawyers
00:32:39and those around me told me that this defense could cause
00:32:42me to stay in prison a little longer. My priority was not
00:32:46to get out as soon as possible." Deniz Göktaş underlined
00:32:49in his defense that he did not want to take an apologetic stance.
00:32:53He said he wanted to set an example for other comedians.
00:32:56"You can speak freely, you don't have to be afraid.
00:33:00I wanted to show that there is nothing an artist cannot endure
00:33:03for the sake of defending a principle,"
00:33:07he said. Deniz Göktaş stated that he had started
00:33:10to self-censor in his shows before going to prison,
00:33:14and that this disturbed him. He also explained
00:33:17why he thought this way. "The people who came to my shows,
00:33:20students, retirees, acted more courageously
00:33:24than me in their daily lives, while I was becoming more and more
00:33:28cowardly. This made me feel hypocritical. To feel better,
00:33:31I started saying everything I found funny again, without thinking
00:33:35about the consequences. It might sound romantic, but on my first
00:33:38day in my cell, I had the best sleep of my life." Was Göktaş
00:33:42sorry for the show that led to his arrest? To this question,
00:33:46he replied, "I didn't regret it for a second. It was the time
00:33:49in my life when I felt the least alone. Of course,
00:33:53it's great to be outside, I missed it a lot, but inside or outside
00:33:56doesn't make much of a difference. I hope a time will come when we can all
00:34:00be free."
00:34:06Now let's look at the Middle East. The conflicts and attacks
00:34:09between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia are now even more
00:34:13concerning to us. As you know, due to the Mecca Agreement,
00:34:16the agreement is expected to come to the Grand National
00:34:20Assembly of Turkey this week. Since the weekend, Houthi
00:34:23attacks against Saudi Arabia
00:34:27have continued. The King Khalid International Airport
00:34:30in Riyadh was attacked for the second time. In
00:34:34the first attack, 13 people died and 308 people
00:34:37were injured. In the latest attack, one person
00:34:40lost their life. 11 people were injured. The images
00:34:43of the latest attack...
00:34:55The first moments of the attack on King Khalid
00:34:58International Airport in Riyadh, the capital
00:35:01of Saudi Arabia,
00:35:02on Saturday.
00:35:05Al Arabiya television also broadcast security camera
00:35:09footage of the attack. A violent explosion
00:35:11occurred in the area where passengers were waiting
00:35:15to board their planes for Umrah. In
00:35:19this attack, at least 13 people died and hundreds
00:35:22were injured.
00:35:25One day after the attack claimed by the Houthis
00:35:28in Yemen, the airport was targeted again. On Sunday,
00:35:31ammunition that hit Terminal 4 caused a fire.
00:35:35In this attack, one person died and 11 people
00:35:39were injured.
00:35:49An additional warning was reiterated
00:35:52that all airports in Saudi Arabia, except Mecca and Medina,
00:35:56are
00:35:58potential targets. After the Houthis
00:36:02seized strategic areas on the Red Sea coast last
00:36:04month, Saudi
00:36:08Arabia had intensified its military
00:36:11operations
00:36:15in Yemen. United States President Donald Trump
00:36:19said on Saturday that America could also participate
00:36:22in attacks against the Houthis. America currently provides
00:36:26intelligence and targeting support to Saudi Arabia.
00:36:29There are also approximately 200 American military
00:36:32advisors in the country.
00:36:35Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan made a joint statement
00:36:38with Saudi Arabia, condemning the attacks. They supported
00:36:42the measures taken to protect Riyadh's security. Iran,
00:36:46on the other hand, offered to help facilitate dialogue
00:36:49between Saudi Arabia
00:36:50and Yemen.
00:36:57Dear viewers, we will discuss this issue shortly. Also,
00:37:01speaking of the Middle East, of course, the US-Iran war,
00:37:04the latest situation there, and most importantly, we will
00:37:08ask if the Strait of Hormuz will finally open. But speaking
00:37:11of the Strait of Hormuz and the United States,
00:37:14an important statement came from US President Trump:
00:37:18he said that a ceasefire in the energy sector had been
00:37:22achieved between Russia and Ukraine. He had made calls on this issue
00:37:25before, as you know, but Ukraine didn't really listen. Kyiv
00:37:28first said they had no news. After overcoming it, they sent
00:37:31a message of support after
00:37:33Trump's latest statements.
00:37:37Here are the details. United States President
00:37:40Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine
00:37:43had agreed on an energy ceasefire, meaning
00:37:46they would not attack each other's energy facilities
00:37:49and energy infrastructure.
00:37:52Trump, who announced the news with a social media
00:37:56message, wrote that both sides had accepted
00:37:59the ceasefire. However, the reactions from the two sides of the ceasefire
00:38:03raised questions.
00:38:06The first to react was Ukrainian leader Volodymyr
00:38:10Zelensky, who first stated that he had no knowledge
00:38:12of the ceasefire Trump mentioned. But he added
00:38:15that he was open to such
00:38:18an idea. Zelensky, who met with his European allies,
00:38:22made another statement shortly after. He announced
00:38:24that they supported the ceasefire, saying, "This is good news
00:38:28for everyone." He noted that they were awaiting
00:38:32further details from America.
00:38:36In his message announcing the agreement, Trump had stated
00:38:39that the ceasefire would take effect immediately. Moscow,
00:38:42which has not yet commented on the matter, in a sense,
00:38:45gave its answer on the ground. Zelensky announced that
00:38:49the energy plant in Kharkiv, Ukraine, had been targeted
00:38:53by Russia in the evening. On the other hand,
00:38:57the Ukrainian leader also responded to Trump's words,
00:39:00who had criticized him.
00:39:02Zelensky had called Trump's
00:39:04agreement with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin
00:39:08on diesel supply on Friday a sign of weakness.
00:39:12Trump had retaliated by saying, "Ukrainians
00:39:15should elect another leader." Speaking to the American press,
00:39:18Zelensky continued the polemic.
00:39:22He argued that it was not possible to hold elections
00:39:24in Ukraine due to wartime conditions.
00:39:28Addressing Trump, he said, "Convince
00:39:31Putin to a 60-day ceasefire, and we will hold
00:39:35the election." Dear viewers, now let's
00:39:37turn to the United States.
00:39:41Serra Karaçam is with us. Undoubtedly, the recent attacks
00:39:45on Saudi Arabia, the targeting of the airport,
00:39:49the casualties, and the images are very striking. This affects
00:39:52Turkey extra. Why? Because the Mecca Agreement
00:39:55may come to parliament this week. How should we view
00:39:59both these attacks and what kind of responsibility
00:40:03a possible Mecca Agreement will place on us? Let's
00:40:06start with that. Serra Karaçam is with us. Welcome, Serra,
00:40:10I hand the floor over to you. Yes, thank you.
00:40:14In the new attack, one person died. The day before, 13
00:40:17people had died in the attacks that took place
00:40:20on Saturday. More than 300 people were injured.
00:40:24Of course, the targeting of the passenger terminal
00:40:27is particularly important, especially when an important
00:40:30energy conference is about to take place in Riyadh.
00:40:34The Houthis' claim of responsibility
00:40:37is another important perspective, of course,
00:40:40because they usually deny it,
00:40:44as you know. I think there's a problem with the connection,
00:40:47while my colleagues check it, let me reiterate to our viewers
00:40:51what we're talking about. Now, the war in the Middle East,
00:40:55the attacks between the US and Iran, and Israel's
00:40:58aggressive stance. We continue to discuss this. At least
00:41:02in terms of a live and active war, we haven't seen an attack
00:41:06for a long time, but the focus of the attacks seems to be shifting
00:41:09more towards the Houthis and the Saudi Arabian region.
00:41:13Now, we're already talking about the Strait of Hormuz, as you
00:41:16know, for a long time, along with the increasing
00:41:19fuel prices, oil prices, and the economic difficulties
00:41:23we are experiencing especially in Turkey, are these problems and difficulties
00:41:40and for that reason, slowly it seems we will start
00:41:43talking about the Bab el-Mandeb Strait as well.
00:41:46As Serra just mentioned, on Saturday, during the weekend,
00:41:50the Houthis carried out an attack on King Khalid
00:41:53International Airport in Riyadh, the capital
00:41:57of Saudi Arabia. They also claimed responsibility for
00:42:01the attack, and 13 people died and 308 people
00:42:04were injured in that attack. Serra drew attention to
00:42:08an important detail earlier.
00:42:10There was a very important
00:42:14conference to be held here, many international experts
00:42:18were expected to come from abroad. She said that
00:42:21it was quite striking that such a thing happened
00:42:24before that. 13 people died and 308 people were injured.
00:42:28Now, immediately after this attack, another attack
00:42:31was carried out on the airport. This time, one person died
00:42:34and 11 people were injured. So, a total of 14
00:42:37people died in Saudi Arabia and 319 people were injured.
00:42:40The images of the attacks were also quite striking.
00:42:44The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attacks,
00:42:48and also announced that they would continue
00:42:50their attacks in the region, except for Mecca and Medina.
00:42:54So, what awaits us in the region in the coming
00:42:58days is a critical situation. There is also this situation:
00:43:02while Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, and the United States continue
00:43:06their support for Saudi Arabia and their harsh
00:43:10rhetoric against the Houthis and Yemen, the Mecca
00:43:13Pact or Agreement discussed between Turkey,
00:43:16Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia has not yet come to the Turkish
00:43:19Grand National Assembly and has not been approved,
00:43:22and we do not know its articles. Therefore, the debate
00:43:26there continues, but the fact that these attacks have increased
00:43:29so much in these days when we expect the Mecca
00:43:32Agreement to come to Parliament this week also concerns
00:43:35us. Dear viewers, Serra from the United States was
00:43:39with us. As you know, we had a problem with the connection
00:43:42and unfortunately, our time is limited right now.
00:43:46Since we couldn't reconnect, I'd like to continue with
00:43:50the news we want to convey to you. Now, let me ask
00:43:53my director Ali, a ship drifted in Kanlıca. The Malta-flagged
00:43:57ship carrying chemical substances, which was going
00:44:00from Bulgaria to Italy,
00:44:02drifted off Kanlıca and
00:44:10managed to stop meters from the shore. The captain
00:44:14sounded the alarm for minutes, but those on the shore
00:44:17watched the moments
00:44:19like this, some
00:44:23recorded it on their mobile phones. The Malta-flagged
00:44:26ship carrying chemical substances was en route from Bulgaria to Italy.
00:44:30Due to a malfunction,
00:44:34it drifted off Kanlıca. The moments the 110-meter-long
00:44:38ship drifted were captured on camera like this. There is a tanker
00:44:42in front of Kanlıca that had
00:44:45an engine failure, and it is currently
00:44:48drifting. Hopefully, nothing
00:44:51bad will happen. Teams from the Coastal
00:44:55Security Directorate were dispatched to the area.
00:44:58Tugs were deployed, and ship traffic in the Bosphorus
00:45:01was stopped.
00:45:02It has dropped anchor.
00:45:10The ship moved forward meters. By chance, the ship
00:45:14stopped meters from the shore. At that moment, the citizens
00:45:17on the shore were also recording
00:45:22with their mobile phones. With the efforts of the teams,
00:45:26the ship was anchored
00:45:27in Küçükçekmece. Bosphorus
00:45:30traffic returned to normal. We talked about the flood
00:45:34disaster in Nepal in the summer, hundreds of people had lost
00:45:37their lives. The images were terrible, as you know.
00:45:40The country has again fallen victim to natural
00:45:44disasters. Disturbing
00:45:45images have again emerged
00:45:52from the country. Nepal. Pitch-black mud and
00:45:56water swallowed houses one by one. The East Asian
00:45:59country Nepal experienced
00:46:05a disaster once again. In the flood caused by a river
00:46:08overflowing in the central parts of the country,
00:46:11and suspension bridges were swept away, a hydroelectric
00:46:14power plant was damaged, and the water level in the river
00:46:17reportedly rose from 2 meters to 8.5 meters within
00:46:21a few hours.
00:46:24The Nepalese army announced that 95 people, including
00:46:289 foreigners, had been rescued, and 5 people were still
00:46:31missing. The death toll has not yet
00:46:34been clarified.
00:46:37Nepalese authorities stated that more than 200
00:46:41houses were damaged and more than 650 people were affected by the flood.
00:46:45Land connection to some settlements was completely
00:46:48cut off.
00:46:49Two months ago,
00:46:53Nepal also experienced a flood disaster that caused
00:46:56the death of more than 1400 people and the disappearance
00:47:00of thousands.
00:47:01Experts attribute
00:47:05the increased frequency of floods to climate change accelerating
00:47:09the melting of glaciers in the Himalayas.
00:47:12Dear viewers, we are now
00:47:16going to Beyoğlu, the heart of Istanbul's multicultural
00:47:20memory. Here are images
00:47:22from Beyoğlu, where two major gatherings
00:47:25shed light on the city's Levantine heritage.
00:47:28Beyoğlu's historical
01:00:04We continue on Halk TV screens where we left off in parentheses. In
01:00:07this section, we will begin to discuss the fund
01:00:10scandal. Various
01:00:13investigations are ongoing. So what are their details?
01:00:17We will start to examine them, and at the same time, there were statements from Cevdet Yılmaz today,
01:00:21according to the statements, will public funds really
01:00:25not be used, how will payments be made, is the
01:00:28payment system announced so far fair, we will ask this, but
01:00:32let's start with the scandal part, the chief prosecutor's office
01:00:35announced that the accounts of 214 people,
01:00:38who were determined to have obtained an unfair gain of 187
01:00:41billion liras from the fund, were blocked. Now
01:00:44when we see the number, at least for those who
01:00:48deal with this issue, 187 billion seems
01:00:52quite a small figure for the scandal
01:00:55we are talking about, because when we look at the dates, it was
01:00:59between September 12-16, I think, the time period given for this unfair gain,
01:01:03but when we look at fund fraud. We have our guest,
01:01:06economist Kerim Rota, with us. Welcome, Mr. Kerim.
01:01:10Madam, I wish you good broadcasts. Thank September 16, we see
01:01:13that 401 billion liras evaporated. Now
01:01:16this is the happening in the investigations?
01:01:20Let the
01:01:21details come.
01:01:25In the fund investigation, classified documents were
01:01:29found to have been shared on social media. The Public
01:01:32you. Now there are hot launched an investigation against
01:01:35individuals deemed to have
01:01:37violated the confidentiality of the investigation.
01:01:40Fund investigations continue. In the examinations
01:01:43of the fund companies' accounts, names
01:01:46that made over 100 million profits were identified.
01:01:49developments since the weekend. the investigation file,
01:01:52214 people, 141 of whom are natural
01:01:56persons and 73 are legal persons, made a total profit
01:02:00of 187 billion 653 million liras from
01:02:043 funds. The Istanbul Public Prosecutor's Office
01:02:07I want to discuss them with A travel ban
01:02:10was imposed on the individuals and company owners by
01:02:13court order.
01:02:17The financial data in the investigation file also attracted attention.
01:02:21According to the news in Sabah newspaper, approximately 401
01:02:25billion liras of you, evaluate them. First,
01:02:28Terra and Pusula funds between September 1-16. Accordingly, the total outflow
01:02:32was recorded as
01:02:37401,266,791,742 liras.
01:02:40While fund investigations continue, the Savings
01:02:43Deposit Insurance Fund the investigation was mentioned.
01:02:46the liquidated funds. TMSF announced that it
01:02:50will recruit 75 personnel, including 10 fund auditor
01:02:53assistants, 45 fund expert assistants, and 20 fund
01:02:56lawyers.
01:03:03Now, frankly, in the investigations, both the judicial part and
01:03:07A call was made to 141 somewhat confusedly. Last
01:03:11Friday, Abdullah Güler shared the details of the
01:03:14draft law that was planned to be presented this week
01:03:17at the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. So he shared information
01:03:21about both the scam part and how the creditors
01:03:24real persons and three companies everyone had in mind was,
01:03:27undoubtedly, Abdullah Güler's attention to the right to
01:03:31not be stained, that is, he drew attention to the right
01:03:35to not be stained, saying "who are these fund swindlers,
01:03:38disclose them." Now, a list of
01:03:41to return, to voluntarily whose accounts were blocked
01:03:44is being discussed. It was expected that at least that list
01:03:48would be shared. Only 85 of them were shared.
01:03:52So far, we understand that it was deemed
01:03:55appropriate to share the names. Will we learn the rest? Let's
01:03:58pay, as you know, from Minister also had statements on the
01:04:02issue today. He touched upon the draft law. He shared
01:04:05details on how payments
01:04:08can be made up to a lira.
01:04:10Let's hear it. There are 7 companies and
01:04:14131 problematic funds under of Justice Akın Gürlek. We are
01:04:18companies accepted ordinary liquidation conditions
01:04:22and were liquidated. Payments for
01:04:24approximately 44,000 citizens from these
01:04:27455 have been made. Thus, 17
01:04:31funds have been taken out of circulation. talking about 187 billion
01:04:34there are about 2,000 people in the three liquidated
01:04:38institutions. The biggest ones are Fontera, Pusula,
01:04:41Hedef, and Atlas. Negotiations regarding Atlas are currently
01:04:45ongoing. Ordinary liquidation is possible.
01:04:49Neither in ordinary liquidation 653 million liras, and
01:04:53will public funds be used. You might ask what will be used if
01:04:56there are no public funds. Here, of course, our main principle
01:05:00is those who took out the net investment amount, and
01:05:03also those who engaged in illegal transactions. These
01:05:06two groups then information was shared
01:05:10up to 1 million, but we want to especially
01:05:13prioritize small investors and money market funds
01:05:17in this law. A large part of the 450,000
01:05:21we mentioned will be decided here by our
01:05:23parliament, and that their assets were seized
01:05:26implemented, the number of investors we are talking about
01:05:30will probably fall below 100,000. For these
01:05:33131 funds, a special account has been opened for
01:05:37each fund, and a general account has also been opened.
01:05:41Both those who voluntarily by the TMSF. Now there excessive
01:05:45gains, and the income from the
01:05:49sale of assets of companies or individuals who have engaged
01:05:52in illegal transactions and obtained unfair
01:05:56gains will be collected are two important details here.
01:05:59From the general account, this resource
01:06:03will be distributed to these funds according to certain
01:06:06criteria. There are three sources. The first is the assets
01:06:10remaining in this fund. The second is the refunds
01:06:13to be made to these One is that 85 names
01:06:16is, as you know, measures have been taken against the assets
01:06:20of many responsible individuals. There are
01:06:22resources that will come from the liquidation of assets
01:06:25and their evaluation. So this will be financed
01:06:29from these three sources. There emerged later, of illegal
01:06:33transactions, market-distorting activities,
01:06:36and excessive income. If there
01:06:40is a return, even if there is no illegal
01:06:43transaction due to excessive income, there is nothing
01:06:47we were talking about 141 names. is an illegal
01:06:50transaction, responsibilities certainly do
01:06:53not cease. Now, of course,
01:06:56there is also the
01:06:58impact of the fraud on the laws, and it's a
01:07:02growing and continuing impact. Let me ask why 85 were announced.
01:07:05on the stock exchange is quite heavy. If you ask what happened,
01:07:09when we look at BIST 100, there is a
01:07:126.53% decrease. The number of investors who emptied
01:07:15their accounts exceeded 50,000. In September, the loss
01:07:18in stock portfolios reached The other important liras.
01:07:22The
01:07:26fund crisis hit the stock market, investors withdrew from stocks.
01:07:30Since
01:07:34September 16, when the fund investigation came to the agenda,
01:07:37the stock market continues to fall. In 23 days, the
01:07:41thing is that on Borsa Istanbul
01:07:44lost 6.53% of its value. The decrease in BIST 30
01:07:46was 3.63%. BIST 100
01:07:50fell from 13,122 points to 12,265 points.
01:07:54The index experienced we are talking about an excessive
01:07:57A decrease of 570 points was also recorded
01:08:01in BIST 30. The loss in the stock market
01:08:04was also reflected in investors' portfolios. According to the Central Registry Agency data,
01:08:07the total value of stock portfolios decreased by
01:08:105 trillion 330 billion liras gain of 187 billion
01:08:13The portfolio value, which was 22.9 trillion liras
01:08:17at the end of August, decreased to 17.58 trillion
01:08:19liras.
01:08:22Stock investors also withdrew from the market. In
01:08:26September, the number of investors who zeroed their
01:08:29based on the dates increased by 50,234. In
01:08:33investment funds, the number of investors who emptied their
01:08:36accounts increased by 1133 people.
01:08:40The total portfolio value of investment funds
01:08:44also decreased. The fund portfolios, which were 10 trillion
01:08:48between September 13-16, decreased to 9.264
01:08:50billion liras at the end of September. The loss in one
01:08:53month exceeded 1 trillion 171 billion
01:08:55liras.
01:08:58The sharpest loss was seen in large portfolio holders. The
01:09:02portfolio value of investors but don't we need to go back
01:09:0610 million liras or more decreased by 14.39%. In
01:09:10the stock market, the portfolio value of investors
01:09:13with portfolios of 10 million liras or more decreased
01:09:17by 23.57%.
01:09:20A noticeable decrease was also experienced in foreign investors'
01:09:23further? investors' fund portfolios,
01:09:26which were 532 billion liras in August, decreased
01:09:29to 245 billion liras in September. The decrease reached
01:09:3354%.
01:09:36Considering the index decreases in the period
01:09:39of September 16 - October 9, Madam Gizem, that is, if
01:09:44in stock portfolios is estimated
01:09:45to exceed 1 trillion liras.
01:09:50Now we will start to evaluate the latest details of the
01:09:53başlayacağız. Konuğumuz var,
01:10:03gelişmeler var hafta sonundan bu yana yaşanan. Sizinle birlikte ele almak
01:10:06istiyorum, değerlendirmek istiyorum. İlk başta soruşturmadan bahsedildi.
01:10:10141 gerçek kişiyle. üç şirkete yönelik geri ödeyin,
01:10:14gönüllü ödeyin çağrısı geldi biliyorsunuz adalet bakanı Akın
01:10:17we call insider
01:10:21bahsediyoruz, sonrasında da TMSF tarafından mal
01:10:24varlıklarına el konulduğu bilgisi paylaşıldı. Şimdi burada önemli iki
01:10:28tane detay var. Biri sonrasında 85 isim ortaya
01:10:31çıktı, 141 isimden bahsediyorduk. Neden 85'i
01:10:35trading, the first
01:10:3813-16 Eylül tarihleri arası baz alınarak bir
01:10:42faiş. kazançtan bahsediyoruz 187 milyar
01:10:45ama bizim daha da geriye doğru gitmemiz gerekmez mi diye sormuş
01:10:49olayım mutlaka Gizem hanım yani hani içeriden
01:10:53step that led to the
01:10:55bakıyorsak eee fonların aslında eee
01:10:59tasfiye olmasına yol açılan ilk adım eee kamu
01:11:03otoriteleri tarafından 28 ağustos'ta atıldı yani
01:11:06özür dilerim 28 Ağustos'tan sonra eee atılan adım aslında
01:11:10liquidation of the funds
01:11:14çıkanlar zaten çok önem taşıyor yani 28 ağustosla işte belki
01:11:1810 Eylül arasında eee ama onun öncesi de önemli
01:11:21yani biliyorsunuz eee temmuz'un sonunda da sermaye
01:11:24piyasası kurulu bu fonlardaki gayrimenkul
01:11:28was taken by the public
01:11:32bir karardı dolayısıyla aslında eee bu tür
01:11:34adımların eee içeriden öğrenilip
01:11:38eee fonlardan çıkış yapılma tarihini bence çok geriye taşımak lazım.
01:11:42Yani bir de sadece eee bu değil bir de biliyorsunuz
01:11:46authorities on August 28.
01:11:49çıkarken kimlere sattılar, hangi tarihlerde ne kadarlık karlar
01:11:52ettiler, o yüzden her fonun yani tasfiyede
01:11:56olan ve normal tasfiye parasını
01:11:59ödeyememiş olan fonların yani yatırımcılarına para kaybettirmiş
01:12:03That is,
01:12:07gerekiyor, 141 kişi ve 73 şirket
01:12:10dendiğinde bir şey anlamamız mümkün değil. bizlerin yani
01:12:13214 tane TC kimlik veya vergi numarasından
01:12:17bahsediyoruz, bunlar KVK gereği açıklanmıyor
01:12:20I apologize, the step
01:12:23eee ama şunu beklerdim yani
01:12:26gerçekten eee bu konuda çok samimi bir yaklaşım
01:12:29olsaydı eee bu kişilerin eee isimlerin soyatlarının baş
01:12:32harfleri veya bir başına bir numara konularak eee bu
01:12:36taken after August 28
01:12:39varlığına hangi hesap numarasında el kondu. ne
01:12:42kadarının takipte eee ne kadarı için de dava açıldı yani
01:12:46bunları takip etmek isterdik, illa isim açıklanmak zorunda değil ama şu
01:12:50anda bu 214 şirket ve kişiden eee ne
01:12:53was actually a preliminary
01:12:57kadar tahsil edileceğini hiç bilmiyoruz, yani insanın aklına da
01:13:01şu gelmiyor değil gizemanım eee bir bir noktadan
01:13:04sonra aradan belli bir zaman geçtikten sonra eee
01:13:08warning.
01:13:11ödeyecek, bazıları bunun pazarlığını mı yapacak, iskonto mu
01:13:14isteyecek eee gibi şeyler de insanın aklına gelmiyor değil, o
01:13:17yüzden illa isimlerin açıklanması şart değil
01:13:21ama azından bu 214 kişi ve şirket numaralandırılarak...
01:13:25Those who withdrew after that point
01:13:28yapıldığı, ne kadarının yapılacağı, ne kadarının yapılamadığının
01:13:31açıklanabilirdi, yani bunda da KVKK'ya veya lekelenme hakkına
01:13:35hiçbir eee şey gelmezdi, zarar
01:13:38gelmezdi, eee dolayısıyla sürecin hiç şeffaf
01:13:40are very important, that is,
01:13:44oluşabilecek eee bazı risklere de kapı açtığını
01:13:47düşünüyorum. Peki şimdi şu an hani kişiler
01:13:51açıklanmasa da hani azından parayı verdiler mi hani bu aşamaday.
01:13:55anladığım kadarıyla ama 187 milyar konuştuğumuz vurgun için
01:13:58between August 28 and perhaps
01:14:02eee şimdi sabahın haberiydi ama İstanbul Cumhuriyet Başsavcılığı'na da biraz
01:14:06dayandırmışlar sadece biraz daha geri gittiğimizde yani
01:14:1013 Eylül tarihini 1 Eylül'e çektiğimiz zaman 1
01:14:13ila 16 Eylül tarihlerinde ve yine sadece tera ve
01:14:17September 10,
01:14:20266 milyon çıkış tespit edildiği söylenmiş yani
01:14:24o gün 10 gün böyle geriye gittiğimizde belli bir süre
01:14:27sanırım vurgunun maliyeti de katlanarak artmaya
01:14:31devam edecek ama bugün Cevdet Yılmaz'ın açıklamaları da şu
01:14:34but the period before that is also
01:14:37gibi garanti vermedi, o sebeple de kamu kaynağı
01:14:41aktarılmayacak, kamu kaynağı aktarılmadan ya da varlık
01:14:44fonundan işlem yapılmadan bu meblağlar
01:14:47sizce karşılanabilecek mi? Şimdi bir
01:14:51important. As you know,
01:15:03o son 16 gündeki çıkış taleplerini söylüyor, bunlar
01:15:07gerçekten çıkabildiler mi, yoksa fonun içinde mi kaldılar, o konuda pek bir fikrimiz
01:15:10yok, yani yazıdan bu anlaşılmıyor,
01:15:13çıktılarsa bile ne kadarlık bir ana para karşılığında ne
01:15:16at the end of July,
01:15:20anlaşılmıyor, yani şimdi 100 milyon çekti diye birini
01:15:23suçlamak çok kolay. ama işte 90 milyon yatırmışsa ara 3
01:15:26ay geçtikten sonra 100 milyon çektiyse bambaşka bir
01:15:29kişiden eee ve bambaşka bir senaryodan bahsediyoruz
01:15:32the Capital Markets Board
01:15:36ama yani bir kriter koymadığınız zaman ee
01:15:39fahiş nedir eee işte tarih nedir başlayacağınız
01:15:43tarih nedir bunlarla ilgili hiçbir kriter koymadığınız zaman böyle
01:15:46e işte bir haber çıkıyor 187 milyar başka
01:15:50took a decision regarding
01:15:53milyar muhtemelen çak'. Yani biz bunları toplamakla hata da
01:15:57yapıyor olabiliriz eee o yüzden bir sis bulutunun içinde
01:16:01bizden eee bazı bilgileri alıp yorumlamamızı
01:16:04istiyorlar. Şeffaf olmakta fayda var yani Mehmet Şimşek
01:16:07the valuation of real estate
01:16:10Şeffaflık hesap verilebilirik uluslararası standartlar demişti. Şimdi
01:16:14bu kadar büyük bir soruşturmanın olduğu 20 milyar dolar gibi bir
01:16:17kayıptan bahsedilen bir soruşturmada insanların
01:16:20isimlerini ben tamam açıklamayın ama azından numaralandırın kim ne kadar
01:16:24funds, and this was an
01:16:28değilmiş, hepsini bilelim, bir standardın içine oturdum, biz de onun
01:16:31içinde bir hesap yapabilelim, böyle bunlar olmadığı sürece de
01:16:35dediğim gibi bir sis bulutunun içinde eee yorumlar yapmaya
01:16:38gayret ediyoruz, peki kamu kaynağı kısmına bir de şunu ekleyeyim
01:16:42important decision. Therefore,
01:16:46ev hissesini tera'dan almış, güncel fiyatlarla da
01:16:49yaklaşık 12 milyar Türk lirasından bahsediyoruz, tere
01:16:53aynı şekilde pusulaya da satış.
01:16:58Onda da muhakkak ki benzer bir durum yaşanacaktır. Cevdet Yılmaz kamu
01:17:02kaynağı aktarılmayacak diyor ama sanırım ilk kamu kaynağının aktarıldığını en azından
01:17:05actually,
01:17:09miyiz? Evet eee yine orada da bir sürü
01:17:12karartma var yani oradaki tabloda hisse fiyatı
01:17:16No. Just the amount of shares, that is, what
01:17:20percentage of the shares are in Emlak Katılım. Emlak Katılım,
01:17:23as you know, was in the process of acquiring even participation. I assume
01:17:27that the Competition Board, the BRSA
01:17:30permit, and the CMB permits have been issued,
01:17:33but Emlak Katılım should have made an announcement before
01:17:36acquiring these shares, which would have been transparent.
01:17:40This was not done. Perhaps it will be done tonight,
01:17:43perhaps tomorrow, but we need to know how much money it paid
01:17:47for these shares, because this is a public resource. Exactly. That is, Emlak Katılım,
01:17:50an affiliate of the Turkey Wealth Fund,
01:17:54I guess these two organizations, it could be three. How much public
01:17:57resources did it invest when acquiring
01:18:00these three organizations? Does it have any expected
01:18:03revenue in return, or are there more open positions
01:18:07in these acquired companies? Are there any deficits that need to be financed?
01:18:11We don't know any of this. So, the only clear
01:18:13information Mr. Cevdet Yılmaz gave us is this:
01:18:17there is no state guarantee on these. Yes, we all knew that anyway. Investors
01:18:21knew that too. Other than that, I unfortunately did not see any tangible
01:18:24information. So, Mr. Kerim, let me ask if you could
01:18:27see any tangible information in the possible
01:18:30draft law. Last Friday, Abdullah Güler made a statement,
01:18:34and some articles.
01:18:46Do you agree with the comments that the draft law
01:18:49is not clear? I agree 100%. So, Mr. Abdullah Güler
01:18:53is asked what will happen to those whose shares
01:18:56are blocked. He has no idea about this. He talks
01:19:00about completely different things, as an answer.
01:19:03I don't think the deputies who signed under this know what they signed.
01:19:08The experts within the Capital Markets Board
01:19:11must have made some calculations, but the aim is to
01:19:15reduce the number of heads, if you'll excuse my
01:19:18expression. That is, how can we get rid
01:19:22of 355,000 out of 455,000 people? They thought about this,
01:19:26made calculations in Excel accordingly, and a
01:19:30draft law was written accordingly. Therefore, this will happen.
01:19:33That is, the result of this will be very clear.
01:19:36Especially in problematic funds,
01:19:39that is, in funds that cannot pay 100%
01:19:42of the fund to their investors, and there seem to be about 10-15
01:19:46such funds, those with up to 1 million
01:19:49in principal investment, the definition of principal is not very clear,
01:19:53those with principal investment will be able to receive this,
01:19:56because the calculations show that it can pay up to 1 million,
01:20:00at least for money market funds. For
01:20:04other funds, like equity-heavy funds, we don't know if this 1 million exists.
01:20:08Because in one article, as you know, it says it starts small
01:20:11and goes up to 1 million, perhaps
01:20:15some funds don't even have the resources to pay this 1 million,
01:20:19no assets. Then it might have to stay much
01:20:22lower. It could be cut at 200-300
01:20:26thousand. I'm completely speculating.
01:20:29We can accept the lack of clarity in the
01:20:33draft law, but at least we would expect
01:20:36the CMB or Cevdet Yılmaz or Mehmet
01:20:40Şimşek to say, when making a statement, if this draft law is accepted
01:20:44this way, then this many people's problems will be solved,
01:20:47and these funds will have such and such a payment rate.
01:20:51Unfortunately, in some funds,
01:20:54those with up to 1 million will get their
01:20:58money back, but it seems that someone with 5 million
01:21:02or 6 million will also get 1 million. So, it's not clear,
01:21:05and it's also unfair, isn't it?
01:21:09I mean, under normal circumstances, how is a fund liquidated? According
01:21:13to the old practice, I'm not talking about blocked shares or anything
01:21:17like that. There's another problem there, but let's put that aside.
01:21:20There might be 100 million in the fund, but only
01:21:2460 million in assets. Everyone gets 60%. This
01:21:27is normal. But with the new system,
01:21:31not everyone will get 60%. Some will get 100%, some 20%,
01:21:35some 5%. That is, how big.
01:22:01Looking at the markets in September, we also shared some details in our
01:22:05news.
01:22:07The number of people who zeroed out their portfolios in their stock
01:22:11accounts increased by 50,234
01:22:13in one month. We have been talking about the declines in our
01:22:17country for a while now. It's almost a month since we
01:22:20started talking about it. If we take September 11th
01:22:24as a baseline with Muhammet Yarız's escape, how do you see
01:22:28the past month in the market and the period until the
01:22:31end of the year, Mr. Kerim? Unfortunately,
01:22:35it seems that many small investors have left
01:22:39this dirty market unwillingly. I use this expression
01:22:42deliberately. In the past, there have been
01:22:45many crises in Turkey where savers were disappointed.
01:22:49Savings bonds in the 1960s, cooperative victims
01:22:52in the 1970s, banker victims in the 1980s,
01:22:56in the 1990s, as you know,
01:22:59an attempt was made to create savings
01:23:03through the state, and then that money, unfortunately,
01:23:07was not paid. It was eroded by inflation.
01:23:10These were housing assistance funds,
01:23:14banks that failed in the 1990s,
01:23:17banker victims. But in the stock market,
01:23:20we had not seen a risk other than price risk.
01:23:23Unfortunately, now in the stock and fund markets, we are facing
01:23:27a crisis where we encounter regulatory and supervisory risk
01:23:30in addition to price risk. This has tainted this market.
01:23:34Many small investors, unwilling to be here,
01:23:38have felt the need to withdraw their money to their banks
01:23:41or other intermediary institutions. Unfortunately,
01:23:45this loss of trust will continue to affect
01:23:48the perception of the stock market in the next few years.
01:23:52I don't know if it will have much effect on pricing,
01:23:55but in terms of the number of investors, it seems quite difficult for us
01:23:59to return to the old days. Thank you very much, Mr. Kerim, for your
01:24:02participation and contributions. I thank you, Ms. Gizem. Dear
01:24:06viewers, we evaluated the latest developments in the fund scandal
01:24:09with economist Kerim Rota. Now, I want to turn to politics
01:24:13and even municipalities. Let's continue with the Medicana file.
01:24:16Allegations of bribery against Şişli Mayor Resul
01:24:20Emrah Şohan have emerged. It is claimed that Medicana
01:24:24donated 4 million dollars to the municipality. Additionally, it is alleged that
01:24:274 million dollars was paid in cash to consultant Adem
01:24:31Altıntaş. Now, in court, Hüseyin Bozkurt,
01:24:34the owner of Medicana Hospitals,
01:24:37stated that Şahan did not demand any
01:24:40favors from him and did not direct
01:24:43him to Altıntaş. Şahan emphasized
01:24:47that the hospital license is under the authority
01:24:50of the Ministry of Health.
01:24:54In the Medicana file, which came up in the IBB case,
01:24:58bribery allegations were made against Şişli Mayor Resul Emrah Şan.
01:25:01Media organizations close to the government brought the file
01:25:05to the agenda with headlines like "Bribery Scheme".
01:25:08Şan's legal team drew attention to the statements
01:25:11given in court. In a system where laws, regulations,
01:25:15plans, and institutions have collapsed and become so complex,
01:25:19we now need a mobilization. In 2021, Medicana
01:25:22rented a building registered as an office in the land
01:25:26registry and with a building registration certificate under the
01:25:30amnesty law, to convert it into a hospital. During the process, obtaining
01:25:33architectural project approval and a certificate of conformity
01:25:36from the municipality came up.
01:25:38The Ministry of Health
01:25:42issued the hospital license. On June 5, 2024, Medicana
01:25:45management made a formal donation of 4 million dollars to Şişli
01:25:49Municipality. With this money, the municipality bought a cleaning
01:25:52fleet of 64 vehicles from the State Supply Office.
01:25:55According to the prosecution, on the same day, 4 million dollars
01:25:59was also given in cash to Adem Altıntaş, and a certificate
01:26:01of conformity was obtained from the municipality.
01:26:05In the IBB case, the owner and Chairman
01:26:08of the Board of Medicana Hospitals, Hüseyin Bozkurt,
01:26:11was asked if Resul Emrah Şahan had made any unfair demands.
01:26:15Hüseyin Bozkurt said, "You did not talk to me about
01:26:18such a thing, you did not make such a demand." Şahan
01:26:22also asked if he had directed him to continue meeting with
01:26:26Adem Altıntaş. Bozkurt replied, "I don't know Adem Bey,
01:26:30I didn't have such a conversation."
01:26:31Fatih
01:26:34Mehmet Bozkurt, a member of the Medicana Board of Directors,
01:26:38claimed that the demand for a 4 million dollar cash payment
01:26:42was conveyed by their consultant Adem Altıntaş. However,
01:26:45he stated that they did not meet with Şan and
01:26:48did not hear a demand from him. Altıntaş, on the other hand,
01:26:52said that the cash he received was a consultancy fee.
01:26:56Resul Emrah Anyanet spoke to Evrim Kepene.
01:26:59He explained the Medicana file as follows:
01:27:03"The institution that issues the license for Medicana is the Ministry of Health. All
01:27:06that was requested from the municipality was architectural project approval.
01:27:10that I do not have. On top of that, I am told that I personally
01:27:13gained benefits in return for that authority. The so-called
01:27:17benefit is a donation that was deposited into the official
01:27:20account of the municipality and is on record. Bozkurt also said in this session
01:27:24that he did not hear any demand
01:27:26from me. The will here is clear,
01:27:29and the demand of the nation is also clear." Now, what will happen in the process?
01:27:32Especially in the parliamentary and legal fields.
01:27:35We are following this with curiosity. There is a monitoring commission
01:27:38expected to be established in parliament regarding the resolution process,
01:27:42and when weapons will be laid down is the main agenda item.
01:27:45Today, there is also a cabinet meeting. Both the fund and
01:27:49the process, undoubtedly the most.
01:27:59said that the process is being carried out silently. DSP
01:28:03leader Önder Aksakal called on Erdoğan for clarity.
01:28:06Let's get the latest situation
01:28:08in the process on your screens.
01:28:13MHP's Fethi Yıldız pointed to the end of November
01:28:17for the "Turkey Without Terror" process. He also made a statement
01:28:20regarding the individuals who will benefit from the law. "Results will be
01:28:23achieved by the end of November, and then procedures will begin
01:28:27for terror convicts in prison. Approximately
01:28:292,800 people will benefit
01:28:32from the law." He emphasized that the process is a state
01:28:36and nation policy, and called for laying down arms and emptying
01:28:40the caves. He said,
01:28:41"We have red lines."
01:28:44Sabah columnist Yavuz Donat conveyed his discussions with
01:28:47AKP and MHP officials regarding the latest situation in the "Turkey Without Terror"
01:28:51process.
01:28:54According to Donat, who met with MHP Deputy Chairman
01:28:57Fethi Yıldız and AKP Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Yayman,
01:29:01Yayman stated that the process is progressing silently, not through
01:29:04discussions. Yayman also evaluated the 467
01:29:07votes in favor of the framework law in parliament as a guarantee
01:29:11of the process. As the Democratic Left Party,
01:29:14we offered an alternative. A statement regarding the process
01:29:18also came from DSP Chairman Önder Aksakal.
01:29:21artık kararlı bir karşı duruş göstermesi
01:29:25zorunluluğu vardır. Bunun zamanı gelmiş ve hatta
01:29:29seized, in which account number.
01:29:37Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devleti bir Kabile
01:29:39devleti değildir. Bunu kimse unutmasın. Sürecin Meclis
01:29:43ayağındaysa gözler kurulması planlanan izleme
01:29:46komisyonunda MHP'li Fetih Yıldız komisyonun Yeni yasama yılı
01:29:50How much of it is under
01:29:53yapısı ve çalışma esasları henüz netleşmedi. Meclis
01:29:56başkanı Nuğman Kurtulmuş'un komisyonun üye sayısı ve çalışma yöntemini
01:30:00belirlemek üzere siyasi partilerin. temsilcileriyle
01:30:03görüşmesi bekleniyor. Öcalanında süreci takip edecek
01:30:06investigation, and for how
01:30:10dem partinin de önümüzdeki günlerde liderler turuna
01:30:13on a leaders' tour in the coming
01:30:16days. The monitoring commission envisioned by the law
01:30:19must be established as soon as possible, with a method that will support
01:30:22and strengthen the process, ensure the representation of other political
01:30:26parties, and ensure inclusiveness and pluralism.
01:30:29The establishment work should be completed as soon as possible.
01:30:32MHP's Yıldız pointed to the end of November, but the
01:30:36timeline and scope of the process have not yet been clarified.
01:30:39Now, eyes are on Numan Kurtulmuş's meetings with
01:30:42political parties, the steps to be taken for the
01:30:45establishment of the monitoring commission, and the next
01:30:48stage of the process.
01:30:53Now, the law monitoring commission and the priority
01:30:56in these, that is, the red line, was also in our news.
01:31:00The government also stated that the organization must
01:31:03completely disband and lay down its arms, and that this
01:31:07must be confirmed and verified by our security forces.
01:31:10Now, steps in this regard continue to be taken. A hot
01:31:14development occurred today. The PKK evacuated
01:31:17four camps
01:31:18in Northern Iraq.
01:31:22According to information from security sources,
01:31:25within the scope of the new resolution process, four camp
01:31:29areas in northern Iraq have been evacuated.
01:31:32According to the information, it is also aimed to ensure
01:31:35the integration of the returning members of the organization
01:31:38into society through programs to be carried out in many
01:31:42areas such as education and economy. Sources
01:31:45say that every step taken with the new resolution process
01:31:48will be a harbinger of the peaceful future that the nation
01:31:51deserves.
01:31:58Now, what is the latest stage reached in the process? What
01:32:01do the evacuated camps in Northern Iraq
01:32:04mean? Can we say that the verification and confirmation
01:32:08mechanism has now begun in the process of complete
01:32:11disbandment of the organization? Will this
01:32:14pave the way for the legal parts of the law
01:32:17in parliament? We mentioned Fethi Yıldız in our news,
01:32:21he pointed to the end of November. We will talk about these.
01:32:31the evacuation of four camps in Northern Iraq was confirmed.
01:32:34The terrorist organization laying down its arms, and this being
01:32:38confirmed and verified, was seen as the first stage, the first
01:32:42condition, as you know, it was talked about. So, can we say
01:32:45that the verification and confirmation mechanism has now started with this development?
01:32:49Well,
01:32:52there is indeed a confirmation, because
01:32:55the news about the evacuation
01:32:58of the four camps in Metina
01:33:01was announced by Murat Karayılan, who spoke
01:33:04to Kamal Choman from The Amardi, an English
01:33:07language publication, last night. He said,
01:33:10"We evacuated these areas as of the 8th of the month,
01:33:14and we voluntarily evacuated
01:33:18this region, which Turkey has been trying to take
01:33:21over and control for years through warfare with
01:33:24the Turkish Armed Forces, but could not, in order
01:33:28to advance the process." After that,
01:33:31a statement was made by the security bureaucracy
01:33:35in Turkey to the media, and this was confirmed.
01:33:38So, we can say that a confirmation
01:33:42mechanism is at work just from this.
01:33:45Cevdet Yılmaz, in a statement,
01:33:49announced that they do not
01:33:52have to wait for the ordinary meeting
01:33:56of the National Security Council for the verification
01:33:59and confirmation mechanism to operate.
01:34:02So, it seems
01:34:05that the process is accelerating
01:34:09from this perspective. However,
01:34:13what is even more striking,
01:34:15in my opinion, is that Murat Karayılan stated
01:34:18in his statement to The Amargi that they have also
01:34:22called back their militants
01:34:25in secret operations in various regions
01:34:28of Turkey. This indicates
01:34:31that they have taken an important step
01:34:34to prevent any provocative
01:34:37actions. However, one of the fundamental
01:34:41issues here is this:
01:34:44it is always said that
01:34:47for this process to progress, the parties need to take
01:34:51mutual steps. However,
01:34:54as we can see, and as we journalists
01:34:58clearly see, in Ankara,
01:35:02as you just stated, Hüseyin Yayman
01:35:05says that actions are being taken
01:35:09rather than discussions.
01:35:12But in reality, we only see discussions
01:35:15between the parties, including the government.
01:35:19However, actions are being taken
01:35:23on the ground. These steps are being taken in cooperation
01:35:26with Turkey's security
01:35:30bureaucracy and negotiated with them.
01:35:33So, Turkey is not unaware of this.
01:35:36Therefore, while such a
01:35:39communication and agreement process
01:35:43is ongoing between the PKK
01:35:50in Ankara is constantly
01:35:54being tried to be resolved on the ground. However,
01:35:57this needs to be opened up in Ankara so that
01:36:01more practical steps can be taken on the ground.
01:36:04This is one thing. Secondly,
01:36:07I think Fethi Yıldız's statement is important,
01:36:11because in our country, since I work in the Kurdish
01:36:14issue and this field, I also
01:36:17hear some rumors that various steps
01:36:20could be taken to accelerate the process
01:36:23in the coming days. It is also said
01:36:26that this is subject to opening steps
01:36:30to be taken in Ankara.
01:36:33You were going to ask something. No, actually, I was going
01:36:37to continue from where you left off. I didn't want to interrupt,
01:36:40and I thought you would answer it anyway. I was going to come to Fethi Yıldız's
01:36:44statements. Now, the government side, especially from the AKP front,
01:36:47actually said that it remains in words, not in action.
01:36:51The architect of the process was Devlet Bahçeli and the MHP.
01:36:55But at this point, as we understand it,
01:36:58the verification and confirmation process has started from both
01:37:02sides. Now, the government side, especially the AKP side,
01:37:06was conditioning the complete disbandment of the terrorist
01:37:10organization PKK and the complete laying down of arms.
01:37:13But MHP's Yıldız pointed to the end of November
01:37:17for the monitoring commission. In this context, do you think
01:37:20that if this momentum continues, the legal steps in Ankara
01:37:24and the parliamentary process will take shape by the
01:37:26end of November? Everything will
01:37:30not be done by the end of November. This
01:37:34is contrary to the nature of things. Actually,
01:37:36on July 11th last year, that is, on July
01:37:4011th, 2025, there were 30
01:37:43members of the organization
01:37:45who burned their weapons. Let's consider these 30 people
01:37:48symbolically under Hozad's leadership.
01:37:51They burned their weapons and they couldn't
01:37:55return. Why?
01:37:57I mean, they burned their
01:38:01own weapons, but they couldn't return. Why? Because there's no law.
01:38:05If you return, you'll go to prison. Now a law
01:38:07has been enacted. You say the organization
01:38:11disbanding itself. For the organization to disband,
01:38:15the law needs to be implemented. How else will it happen?
01:38:18If even those who burn their weapons
01:38:21cannot return and need a law,
01:38:24and a law has been enacted, then this law needs
01:38:28to start being implemented. Cevdet Yılmaz's
01:38:31words are meaningful in this regard, that is, his statement
01:38:35that they do not have to wait
01:38:38for the NSC procedure is important. On the other
01:38:41hand, until now, Turkey has especially wanted some
01:38:45steps to be taken by the organization regarding
01:38:48this Metina issue. Murat Karayılan also confirms
01:38:52this. Long negotiations have been held.
01:38:56What does the Kurdish side
01:39:02want? It says that for this process to accelerate,
01:39:06that is, for concrete progress to be made
01:39:09by the end of November, which Fethi Yıldız indicated, Öcalan needs
01:39:13to get involved. Currently, meetings are
01:39:16being held with Öcalan, but Öcalan has
01:39:20never been able to participate
01:39:23in the process as a true,
01:39:27free, and easily movable actor.
01:39:30Because a regulation
01:39:33also needed to be made for this. Committees related to
01:39:36this process are being formed. Abdullah Öcalan was also
01:39:40said to be the coordinator of the disarmament and politicization
01:39:43subcommittee. Devlet Bahçeli raised
01:39:46the stakes and stated that he deserved the position
01:39:49of coordinator of this process. Now, if Öcalan
01:39:53takes the helm, yes, then it can accelerate
01:39:57by November. I say this because
01:40:00in August, I went to Qandil
01:40:03and had a long interview with Nurettin
01:40:07Demirtaş, Selahattin Demirtaş's brother.
01:40:10Subsequently, I also had many meetings
01:40:12with members of the organization. They all said
01:40:15this: for us,
01:40:19regardless of the law or the steps
01:40:22the government may or may not take, the only
01:40:25thing that will open the way for us to move
01:40:29quickly and return to Turkey
01:40:33is for our leader to call
01:40:36and take the helm. Why they attach
01:40:40so much importance to this is a separate
01:40:43and long discussion topic, but the state
01:40:47acknowledges this, it is aware
01:40:49of it. Actually,
01:40:52it was the state itself that created the Öcalan
01:40:56taboo. The state itself
01:41:00created that image of Abdullah Öcalan.
01:41:02The responsibility to change this image
01:41:06also falls to the state. Then things
01:41:09will progress much faster. The AKP is still making election
01:41:13calculations. Let me tell you more: Look, we are currently
01:41:17experiencing a truly revolutionary, historic
01:41:20event in Turkey. The resolution of an issue
01:41:23that has been associated with war, bloodshed,
01:41:27and suffering for 50 years is now
01:41:29finally being discussed
01:41:33and resolved. It is being resolved
01:41:36on a legal basis. Look, for years in Metina,
01:41:39we don't know how many losses the Turkish Armed
01:41:43Forces suffered, but for years
01:41:46there were clashes and wars there.
01:41:49Finally,
01:41:50at the end.
01:41:53very well, it was seen that it could be emptied smoothly and with agreement.
01:41:57This means that another method is possible.
01:42:01Now, however, the AKP made such an
01:42:05important process invisible with its
01:42:08oppressive, sometimes fascist
01:42:11practices. Due to the pressure it exerted on the
01:42:14opposition, the new party, and previously
01:42:17the CHP and the media, it actually
01:42:21prevented it from becoming
01:42:24socialized. If I.
01:42:27"My opinion is this, if the AKP
01:42:31gives up its election calculations and gives up
01:42:34advancing this process in such an oppressive
01:42:38environment, it is very easy for it to become socialized,
01:42:41it is very possible for taboos to be broken. The overwhelming
01:42:45majority of Turkish society
01:42:48no longer wants this, it doesn't want
01:42:52war and conflict, nor an autocracy established
01:42:55in the shadow of militaristic discourse."
01:42:57It wants a system, Ankara should no longer
01:43:01prevent this. When this doesn't happen,
01:43:04as Fethi Bey explained on the screen,
01:43:08there will be no need to wait until
01:43:11the end of November, things can progress much faster.
01:43:14Mr. Aktan, thank you for your participation
01:43:17and for the information you conveyed. Good broadcasts,
01:43:21thank you, take care. Dear viewers, another migrant tragedy
01:43:25occurred in the seas this weekend, let's continue with that. A small country
01:43:28located on the east coast of Africa, Djibouti,
01:43:32off its coast, this accident occurred. At least
01:43:35139 migrant people lost
01:43:38their lives.
01:43:42The boat carrying migrants off the coast of the Republic of Djibouti,
01:43:45located at the entrance to the Red Sea in East Africa, capsized.
01:43:49Dozens of migrants lost their lives. The United Nations
01:43:52International Organization for Migration had stated that the capsized
01:43:56boat set off from Djibouti towards Yemen with 305 people
01:43:59on the night of October 9. In its latest statement,
01:44:03the organization reported that the number of people
01:44:06who lost their lives on the capsized boat exceeded 130. The migration organization
01:44:10announced that the number of missing was more than 80, and noted
01:44:13that the accident was the deadliest to occur off the coast
01:44:16of Djibouti. Search and rescue efforts are continuing. It was
01:44:20reported.
01:44:23The statement also said that local authorities provided medical care
01:44:27to the survivors, and that funeral ceremonies were held
01:44:30for those who lost their lives.
01:44:33Djibouti's coastline is frequently used as a crossing
01:44:37point by many African migrants trying to reach
01:44:40Gulf countries via Yemen.
01:44:42Let's go to Italy now,
01:44:47where two large tornadoes occurred on the island
01:44:51of Sicily. They caused a lot of damage,
01:44:54two people were seriously injured, and many more were also injured.
01:44:58The images of the tornadoes
01:44:59were striking.

01:54:05We eat the most expensive food, we use the most expensive phones,
01:54:09and to buy a house or a car, we have to work for a lifetime.
01:54:12We asked the public, from food to phones, from
01:54:16houses to cars. Why are everything's most expensive
01:54:19here? The reason is, there is no production
01:54:22economy. All the investments made so far
01:54:25are investments for consumption, not for production.
01:54:28Factories were not opened,
01:54:31factories were closed. Now,
01:54:35you cannot prevent expensiveness without production.
01:54:38You sell the bridge, you increase the price of diesel.
01:54:41For example, eggplants, peppers, tomatoes
01:54:45produced in Antalya are transported to Istanbul
01:54:49by trucks. In between, there are wholesalers,
01:54:52and they take their commissions.
01:54:55Therefore, the expensiveness also comes from there.
01:54:58As long as this economic system continues
01:55:02in this way, it is not possible, they cannot fix the economy.
01:55:05There is a lot of expensiveness, of course.
01:55:08Of course, foreign capital, foreign brands,
01:55:12these are very important in daily use now. But if we, as a country,
01:55:16protect our own values, if we produce our own phones
01:55:19and cars and use them, maybe we can overcome all
01:55:23of these. I think we still haven't
01:55:26solved that. Really, inflation is rising
01:55:29quite a lot, salaries are quite low.
01:55:33Childcare, then house
01:55:36rents. I don't know, it's quite complicated, we can't get out of it.
01:55:40The situation is not good because of the government,
01:55:44I have nothing to say, because whatever we say is futile.
01:55:47Well, it's because the country is not well managed.
01:55:51I mean, right now, our country can
01:55:54support not just 85 million people, but maybe 180 million people.
01:55:58But because the management is not good, or rather because the managers
01:56:02are not good, they are putting this expensiveness on the people.
01:56:06It's really very difficult, it can't be like this, we have children.
01:56:09Well, what about us? There are those who go to school,
01:56:13we need money to buy books and pens. How will we buy them
01:56:16if there is no money? With my pension,
01:56:19I barely pay the house rent. Besides that,
01:56:23water, electricity, food, how will I make a living?
01:56:26Nothing will happen until the AKP leaves. The AKP must
01:56:30go, it has to go because they don't have money,
01:56:33they have destroyed the people. It's a sin,
01:56:36it's a sin, it's a sin to these people.
01:56:39I have never seen such a thing. Whether it was during their time or
01:56:43during Ecevit's time, they took him away.
01:56:46Nobody wanted Ecevit, why? Because he was an honest man.
01:56:49Honestly, whoever the next government is, they must give money
01:56:53to the workers, civil servants, and retirees.
01:56:56Then there will be shopping in this country, and this country
01:57:00will get better. We have
01:57:01no other choice.

01:57:49Welcome to Halk Main News, dear viewers. Today,
01:57:52on one side, we say, there are the insatiable, on one side
01:57:56there are those whose tears do not stop, on one side there are the fund victims,
01:57:59on one side there are the fund perpetrators, on one side there are imprisoned journalists,
01:58:03on one side there are those who roam freely,
01:58:06we say, let's begin.
01:58:22New Party spokesperson Zeynel Emre made very harsh criticisms
01:58:26against the government regarding the fund scandal.
01:58:30If we hadn't exposed it, nobody would have exposed
01:58:34this scandal. Nobody should deceive
01:58:37anyone," he said. In the recent period,
01:58:40such a crisis broke out, the sewer exploded, and the center
01:58:44of the sewer is the General Headquarters of the Justice and Development Party. Now, the Minister of Justice
01:58:48said that there are 214 names who obtained illicit gains
01:58:52exceeding 100 million. Do we know that they have this list?
01:58:55We do, why? Because we announced them, and they cannot deny them.
01:58:59Here, when we asked why they didn't announce these names, the group chairman, Mr. Güler,
01:59:03Abdullah Güler, said,
01:59:06"There is great hypocrisy here, there is a will to protect
01:59:09their own thief. If we didn't expose them,
01:59:12they wouldn't expose any of them. This is very clear.
01:59:16No matter how much you try to hide it, we will follow
01:59:19this on behalf of the nation. With these latest actions
01:59:22of the government, it has once again shown that it is not the party of the nation
01:59:26but the party of Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya. But the nation is not alone,
01:59:29the new party is with it. This plunder is the official
01:59:33proof that this country cannot be governed, because this is an individual
01:59:37robbery. The Capital Markets Board turned a blind eye,
01:59:40the Istanbul Stock Exchange turned a blind eye,
01:59:44and the Banking Regulation and Supervision Board took part in it.
01:59:50Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz made statements
01:59:54about what
01:59:56can be done, what will be done, and what
02:00:00measures will be taken after this scandal. He said, "We will start
02:00:03with small investors, we will start by compensating
02:00:07their losses," and stated
02:00:10that principal payments of up to 1 million
02:00:12lira could be made if this bill
02:00:16is approved. He said it would
02:00:18be realized. Neither in ordinary liquidation
02:00:21nor in extraordinary liquidation is the use of public
02:00:25funds in question. So you might ask,
02:00:28what will be used if there are no public funds?
02:00:32Here, of course, the main thing we take
02:00:36as a basis is the net investment amount. And those who made illegal
02:00:39this 1 million.
