00:00:00after being submitted, he made a statement on his social media account and conveyed his thanks
00:00:04to MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli for his contribution
00:00:07to the completion of the bill and the successful
00:00:10conclusion of the process. In fact, it became a state
00:00:14project with MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli's historical
00:00:16initiative, his historical call, and President Erdoğan's
00:00:20will. The process of a Turkey
00:00:23free of terrorism. Many stages have been passed so far, and yesterday,
00:00:27with the submission of the bill to the Parliament
00:00:30Speaker, another important
00:00:34threshold has been crossed. So far,
00:00:37the leaders, the two leaders
00:00:40of the People's Alliance, have held many meetings
00:00:42to ensure the success of the process. We foresee
00:00:46that in the ongoing meeting in Beştepe,
00:00:49comprehensive evaluations are being made regarding
00:00:52the next stage to be carried out
00:00:55in the process of a Turkey free of terrorism,
00:00:59and we were actually expecting this meeting
00:01:02to take place before the submission
00:01:05of the bill. President Erdoğan's official schedule
00:01:08today did not include this meeting,
00:01:12so we can describe it as a surprise meeting.
00:01:15President Erdoğan and MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli are currently holding
00:01:18a meeting at the Presidential
00:01:21Complex. Let's state that the main agenda
00:01:25item is the developments in the process
00:01:28of a Turkey free of terrorism. The leaders are making evaluations
00:01:32regarding the current stage, and we can state
00:01:35that the work to be carried out
00:01:39in the process after the submission
00:01:42of the bill to the parliament is being discussed
00:01:45under the roof of the People's Alliance. This meeting
00:01:47just started. Based on our experience from previous meetings,
00:01:51we expect today's meeting to last
00:01:55between 45 minutes and 1 hour. Afterwards, a written statement
00:01:58will not be made by President Recep Tayyip.
00:02:14Yes, dear viewers, we are living through historical days, of course,
00:02:17so the agenda is very busy within
00:02:21this activity. We received information that this important
00:02:24meeting, which was reflected in today's live broadcast,
00:02:28has started. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
00:02:32is receiving MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli at the Presidential
00:02:35Complex. We will discuss this meeting,
00:02:38which is very much related to this process,
00:02:41and then the point reached in the process
00:02:45of a Turkey free of terrorism. Journalist Dr. Murat Özer
00:02:49is our guest. Mr. Özer, welcome to our broadcast. Hello,
00:02:52good broadcast. Thank you for participating. Also, thank
00:02:55you. Now, when we look at the chronology
00:02:58of this process of a Turkey free of terrorism,
00:03:02we see the moves of MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli at many
00:03:05historical and critical moments. It actually started
00:03:09with him shaking hands in the parliament
00:03:13during the DEM ranks, but of course,
00:03:17there is a much earlier period. The rhetoric
00:03:20of strengthening the internal front,
00:03:24President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's showing his will in this regard,
00:03:27everything starts at that moment, and with a catalytic effect,
00:03:30with the critical interventions and steps
00:03:33of MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli,
00:03:37the bill was submitted to the Parliament Speaker.
00:03:40How do you interpret this meeting,
00:03:43this acceptance visit? Yes, of course,
00:03:47Mr. Devlet Bahçeli's stance has played
00:03:50a key determining role throughout this process.
00:03:54From Mr. Bahçeli's perspective, he has
00:03:57truly undertaken one of the most
00:04:00important roles in Turkey's fight
00:04:04against terrorism and in the process
00:04:07of building a Turkey free of terrorism,
00:04:10together with our President. Of course, Mr. Bahçeli's
00:04:13taking a position and a role
00:04:17in this matter is the main factor
00:04:20in the process reaching this point.
00:04:24If we remember the previous resolution
00:04:27process, the Nationalist Movement Party
00:04:31was against the process from the beginning.
00:04:34Of course, there were many factors in ending
00:04:37that resolution process, especially the promise
00:04:41of a state to the PKK terrorist organization
00:04:44by imperial powers in Syrian territory,
00:04:47which played a very significant role in ending
00:04:50this process. However, Mr. Devlet Bahçeli's
00:04:54and the Nationalist Movement Party's
00:04:57previous opposition to this process by diagnosing
00:05:00the magnitude of this problem occurring in Syrian territory
00:05:03was also effective in ending the resolution
00:05:07process. Today, the Nationalist Movement
00:05:10Party, which is the headquarters of Turkish nationalism,
00:05:14has taken steps in this regard,
00:05:17which has enabled the process to reach
00:05:21this point. If the leader
00:05:24of the Nationalist Movement Party had not
00:05:27made such a serious sacrifice and taken
00:05:31such a courageous decision, perhaps the process
00:05:35would not have reached this point. From this
00:05:38perspective, of course, the most important
00:05:42architect of the process is Devlet Bahçeli,
00:05:45together with our President. Yes, the signing
00:05:49of these documents in the process
00:05:52reaching this point shows that we are
00:05:55at a very historical threshold, because yesterday,
00:05:59on the signatures submitted to the Grand
00:06:02National Assembly of Turkey, there was the signature
00:06:06of the co-chairman of the DEM Party,
00:06:09and next to it, the signature of Mr. Devlet
00:06:12Bahçeli, and as the first signature,
00:06:16the signature of the Speaker of the Grand National
00:06:19Assembly of Turkey, Mr. Numan Kurtulmuş. This shows
00:06:22that in Turkey, in the real
00:06:25fight against terrorism,
00:06:28the entire parliament, with its political
00:06:32figures, is demonstrating
00:06:35a great will. A very strong
00:06:38consensus has been achieved in the Grand
00:06:42National Assembly of Turkey. This consensus,
00:06:45of course, has some names
00:06:48behind it, but I would like
00:06:51to ask you this: yesterday,
00:06:54when Abdullah Güler was explaining
00:06:58the details of the bill, he was asked questions
00:07:01and he used this expression:
00:07:05"We are not claiming that we have prepared
00:07:08a perfect, flawless thing,
00:07:11we tried our best, but there may be
00:07:14shortcomings, and this process is very dynamic, it is an event
00:07:18that is affected by regional and global
00:07:21issues, and has the potential to be affected,
00:07:25so new steps can be taken if needed,
00:07:28and the Grand Assembly can be resorted
00:07:32to when there is a need for a law,
00:07:35meaning this process is an active, living
00:07:38process, and new steps can be
00:07:43taken if needed." How should we evaluate
00:07:47this meeting in this context? When these
00:07:49are needed, the unity in this People's
00:07:53Alliance will probably be reflected
00:07:57in this process, won't it? Now,
00:08:00the issue we are discussing is the main problem
00:08:03that the Republic of Turkey has faced
00:08:07since its establishment, that is,
00:08:10for more than 100 years.
00:08:21This needs to be emphasized.
00:08:24The Republic of Turkey has never
00:08:27had a bigger problem in its history than this.
00:08:31Because just before the establishment
00:08:33of the Republic, even during
00:08:37the Battle of Sakarya, the main thing
00:08:40that could prevent us from winning
00:08:44the Battle of Sakarya and naturally
00:08:48ensuring the return of the Turkish state
00:08:52and the Turkish nation as an entity
00:08:55to the stage of history
00:08:58was not the resistance of the Greek army
00:09:02or the British army against us,
00:09:06but the Koçgiri rebellion. If the rebellion
00:09:10had not been suppressed, we would not have
00:09:13won such a victory in Sakarya. Later,
00:09:17the Şeyh Said rebellion, then the Dersim rebellion.
00:09:20Look, all these processes are referred
00:09:23to as Kurdish rebellions, the history of Kurdish rebellions
00:09:27in Turkey. And the biggest
00:09:30problem after the establishment
00:09:34of the Republic is the establishment
00:09:37of the PKK terrorist organization
00:09:40and its causing great damage to our state
00:09:44and nation for more than 40 years.
00:09:47Naturally, it is impossible
00:09:51to solve the biggest problem of the Republic
00:09:54of Turkey in a few sentences and in a short
00:09:58time. In Syria, the December
00:10:012024 revolution took place. During
00:10:04this process, Mr. Devlet Bahçeli
00:10:07already made this move,
00:10:11as you know. If there had been
00:10:13no revolution in Syria,
00:10:17and the YPG terrorist organization had not
00:10:21been dissolved, ceased to exist,
00:10:25and integrated into the Syrian
00:10:28state, the revolutionary government, and if the United
00:10:32States had not recognized the reality
00:10:35and come to the point of saying,
00:10:38"Yes, now cooperation with the Republic
00:10:42of Turkey is needed, the only way
00:10:46to establish peace in this region
00:10:49is to strengthen relations with the Turkish
00:10:52state and strengthen the legitimate government
00:10:56in Syria," if it had not
00:11:00been faced with such a necessity,
00:11:03we would not be able to talk about
00:11:07a terror-free region and a terror-free
00:11:11Turkey. All these stem from the very
00:11:14long history of operations
00:11:18of the Turkish Armed Forces. They stem
00:11:22from the Syrian revolution. They stem
00:11:25from the strong will of the Turkish
00:11:29state and the new Syrian Government to find
00:11:32a peaceful, truly democratic
00:11:35solution to the Kurdish problem.
00:11:38In terms of these processes,
00:11:41we have now reached the point of eliminating
00:11:45terrorism. From this perspective,
00:11:48those who stand against this process
00:11:52are actually making small calculations.
00:11:55Unfortunately, they are missing
00:11:59the reality. I don't think they are acting
00:12:02in a way that is in the interests
00:12:05of the Republic of Turkey and the peoples
00:12:09of the region, not just Turkey,
00:12:13but also the peoples of the region in Syria
00:12:16and Iraq. If they had acted in their
00:12:20interests, they would have supported
00:12:24the current administration in Syria and stood
00:12:28behind Turkey's will to create
00:12:32a terror-free Turkey. Nobody in the region
00:12:35wants bloodshed anymore, and by nobody, I am not talking
00:12:39about those with imperial interests,
00:12:43I am talking about the Turkish state
00:12:46and the Syrian state. So,
00:12:49this whole process was resolved
00:12:53in this way. It didn't happen
00:12:57by saying, "There's an organization
00:13:00called the PKK, let's confront
00:13:03it, negotiate with it, come on, give up
00:13:07this business, give up establishing
00:13:11a Kurdistan state in Turkish territory
00:13:15or northern Syria." The Turkish state
00:13:18carried out four major operations in Syria.
00:13:22After that, the Syrian Revolution
00:13:25took place. If we ignore
00:13:28this process, this historical
00:13:32reality, we cannot understand
00:13:36how today's process reached this point.
00:13:39What is being done in the Grand
00:13:43National Assembly of Turkey today is this
00:13:45bill. Why is it a historical
00:13:49bill? Because the will that established
00:13:53the PKK terrorist organization says,
00:13:57"I have dissolved this organization,
00:14:01and the reason for dissolving
00:14:04it is not just my defeat,
00:14:08not just the military defeat I suffered
00:14:11against the Turkish state, but also
00:14:15that we have given up the idea
00:14:18of establishing a separate and independent
00:14:21state in Turkish territory." All of Abdullah
00:14:25Öcalan's statements are in this direction.
00:14:29This is what he said when he told
00:14:33the PKK terrorist organization
00:14:36to hold its congress and dissolve the PKK.
00:14:39He says, "We are no longer
00:14:42at this point ideologically." The Turkish
00:14:46state and the current government in Turkey
00:14:49have made very serious efforts both
00:14:53in the field, in terms of diplomacy,
00:14:55in terms of meeting
00:14:57with the people, and in terms of
00:15:01a democratic solution to the Kurdish problem,
00:15:03such as opening a Kurdish television
00:15:07channel in Turkey. They have a number
00:15:11of practices spanning 20 years.
00:15:14From this point on, there is
00:15:18this: the organization
00:15:21has dissolved itself, the leaders of the organization,
00:15:24the founding leaders of the organization,
00:15:28have said, "We will no longer
00:15:31have such an effort or activity."
00:15:35Militarily, those in Syria
00:15:38have been integrated into the Syrian
00:15:42Army, and there are almost
00:15:45no PKK terrorists left in Turkish
00:15:49territory. The rest are in Syrian
00:15:52and Iraqi territories, not knowing what to do,
00:15:56meaning they have no ideology,
00:15:59no military structure. The Turkish Army
00:16:02is constantly conducting operations in Iraqi
00:16:06territories, and the final
00:16:09point has been reached. After
00:16:12this, the Turkish state
00:16:15is showing generosity towards
00:16:19those who have not been involved
00:16:22in any crime in a place where
00:16:26there is no organization, who have only
00:16:29taken part in organizational activities,
00:16:32taken part in propaganda activities,
00:16:34and received punishment for being
00:16:38within the organization due to organizational
00:16:41discipline. It says, "If you have not
00:16:45committed a crime, if you have not
00:16:48fired a bullet, if you have not
00:16:52committed a murder against the Turkish
00:16:56soldier, come and surrender
00:16:59your weapon. If you have received
00:17:03a sentence of less than 15 years,
00:17:06I will defer this sentence
00:17:10for 5 years, and if I see
00:17:13that you have not committed
00:17:16another crime, you will not
00:17:19serve this sentence. If you have been
00:17:23sentenced to more than 15 years,
00:17:26I will monitor you for 10 years, and if you
00:17:30do not engage
00:17:33in any new terrorist activity
00:17:37during this period of 10 years,
00:17:39then I will completely remove your sentence,
00:17:43your execution." This was already
00:17:47the final stage that the process
00:17:50needed to complete. The organization
00:17:53would not disappear otherwise. After
00:17:56dissolving the organization, the mothers and fathers
00:18:00of the young people who went to the mountains
00:18:03as members of the organization, who were taken,
00:18:06kidnapped, or went there
00:18:10themselves by the PKK terrorist organization,
00:18:13have been protesting for years,
00:18:17as you know, the Diyarbakır Mothers
00:18:20are demanding their children back,
00:18:23and many of them have succeeded in this.
00:18:27Now, the duty of the state
00:18:30was this: to defer
00:18:34the sentences and executions
00:18:37of all other elements who declared
00:18:41that they gave up this work
00:18:44if they had not committed any
00:18:47crime until today. This is the current
00:18:51situation. That's why I don't think
00:18:54those who stand against this process
00:18:58are in the right and beneficial
00:19:01place at this
00:19:02historical turning
00:19:06point for Turkey or the peoples
00:19:10of the region. We say that
00:19:13it is a super-political issue, but we still
00:19:17get the impression that some political
00:19:21calculations are being made, given
00:19:24the current situation and attitude.
00:19:27Now, I actually want to add
00:19:31this here: when we evaluate
00:19:34the balance sheet of Turkey's fight
00:19:38against terrorism, of course,
00:19:42the lives we lost are a very
00:19:44separate issue.
00:19:49Our greatest sensitivity in this process
00:19:52is this, but on the other hand,
00:19:55there is a cost. If Turkey had invested
00:19:59these costs in other issues
00:20:01for the welfare
00:20:05of society, for example,
00:20:08in the defense industry, we see
00:20:12how important the defense industry
00:20:15is due to the global situation,
00:20:18what would have happened,
00:20:22I want to put this question
00:20:26on the table starting from today. Mr. Özer,
00:20:30will we see a very rapid
00:20:33acceleration, a transformation,
00:20:37a change? Look, I stated that
00:20:41the basis of this issue in Turkey
00:20:43needs to be traced back
00:20:46to the Koçgiri rebellion,
00:20:50back to 1921. It was an existential
00:20:53problem for us. If we had lost
00:20:57that war, the Battle of Sakarya,
00:21:00which, according to historians,
00:21:03was the battle where the 250-year
00:21:06Turkish retreat was stopped
00:21:09and the Turks on these lands
00:21:12said, "We exist
00:21:16and we will not disappear."
00:21:19This rebellion took place
00:21:22before that war. We are talking
00:21:25about more than 100 years
00:21:28that have passed. For these more
00:21:32than 100 years, Turkey has been
00:21:35fighting terrorism, not just losing
00:21:39people, as you said, we are setting
00:21:43aside those, their compensation
00:21:46is impossible, but we had to
00:21:50dedicate hundreds of billions
00:21:53of dollars of our great
00:21:56treasury to this. If this had
00:22:00not happened, Turkey would have
00:22:03an economic power 10 times greater
00:22:07than its current power. Turkey
00:22:10would not be in such a situation.
00:22:13Turkey's relations with its neighbors
00:22:17would be very strong. There would
00:22:20be a Turkey strengthened with
00:22:24its neighbors. Imagine a strong
00:22:27Syria, a strong Lebanon.
00:22:30This PKK terrorist organization and
00:22:34its affiliated structures not only in Turkish
00:22:38territory,
00:22:44but also in the valley
00:22:48where they were trained,
00:23:20they were the biggest factor in the destabilization
00:23:23of Lebanon and Syria.
00:23:26Terrorism has
00:23:27always been
00:23:31an apparatus used by imperial
00:23:33powers since the beginning
00:23:37of the War of Independence. The complete removal
00:23:41of this from our lands, its cleansing
00:23:44from our region,
00:23:48will lead to a Turkey
00:23:52strengthened with all our
00:23:56neighbors in the region. Yes, let's
00:23:59pause for a moment, with your permission,
00:24:03I will take your last sentences,
00:24:06yes, but we had
00:24:10also received your will not be taken. However,
00:24:12a service fee will be deducted due to security and personnel
00:24:16expenses. The income obtained will be for Iran and...
00:25:20we shared what happened, how do all these developments and
00:25:23geopolitical events affect the markets? To get
00:25:26the answer to this question, we go to Istanbul, to the Grand
00:25:29Bazaar. Merve Sarıkaya is
00:25:31waiting for us.
00:25:34You can also check under the chart. Yes, gold prices continue
00:25:38to rise on the 4th trading day of the week. In fact,
00:25:41with decreasing geopolitical risks, we also saw a slight easing of
00:25:45inflation concerns, and this supported the demand
00:25:48for precious metals, and we continued to follow
00:25:51the upward momentum in gold prices on the
00:25:554th trading day of the week. Looking at today,
00:25:59we actually saw an acceleration in the upward momentum of gold prices...
00:26:02We are tracking an ounce of gold that has reached its 7-week
00:26:06peak. We are currently observing
00:26:08the highest level in the last 7 weeks for the price of an ounce
00:26:12of gold. When we look at the ounce of gold, we were actually tracking
00:26:15an ounce of gold in the range of 4000 and 4200
00:26:19dollars in the last 6 weeks, but as of today,
00:26:22we saw an ounce of gold rising towards the highest level
00:26:26in the last 7 weeks because it tested 4300 dollars
00:26:29at its peak. We had seen it.
00:26:33When we arrived
00:26:37today, we saw that this
00:26:40region was tested again. Developments on the geopolitical side are very effective
00:26:44on gold prices, especially hopes for an agreement
00:26:47on the US-Iran line, the negotiation
00:26:50agenda, and there are also expectations that the upward
00:26:53momentum in the gold sector will accelerate further with
00:26:56possible news flow from here. Gold has found support
00:27:00in this process from geopolitical developments
00:27:03and the hope of an agreement here. Since the beginning of the week, we have seen a significant pullback in the oil
00:27:07sector. The oil price also fell below $80. Of course, the decline
00:27:11in oil prices also eased inflation concerns, which
00:27:14supported the upward momentum in precious metals, and
00:27:18we have been tracking the highest levels of gold prices in
00:27:22approximately the last two months. Of course, its reflection
00:27:25domestically was also positive, it was upward. We also tracked
00:27:29levels of 6,500
00:27:31liras in gram gold. We observed a gram of gold
00:27:35priced above 6,500 liras. Gold last saw these levels at the
00:27:39beginning of June, approximately 2 months ago.
00:27:42As of today, with the rise in
00:27:45ounce gold, we tracked levels above 6,500
00:27:49liras in the price of gram gold. Looking at the current
00:27:52selling price, we are tracking 6,540 in gram gold, 10,680
00:27:56liras in quarter
00:27:59gold, and we are observing buyers at these
00:28:02prices. We touched upon geopolitical developments in gold, but on the other
00:28:06hand, expectations of interest rate hikes by the Fed also affect
00:28:09the direction of gold. Tomorrow, non-farm payroll data will be released
00:28:12in the US, and this data will also be very decisive
00:28:16for the direction of gold in the coming
00:28:19period. Experts say that the upward momentum in gold
00:28:22is strong with the easing of geopolitical developments
00:28:26and geopolitical risks. Let's return to
00:28:28Ankara.
00:28:35The Deputy Mayor Rüzgar Sönmez, who was wanted as a fugitive
00:28:39within the scope of the bribery and extortion investigation
00:28:43targeting Menderes Municipality in Izmir, has also been
00:28:46apprehended. Thus, the number of detainees in the investigation
00:28:50has reached 16. We will learn the current situation, the latest
00:28:53information in the investigation. We are in Izmir. Bülent Güler
00:28:55will give the details.
00:29:03Within the scope of the investigation launched by the Izmir Public
00:29:07Prosecutor's Office, simultaneous operations
00:29:10were carried out in homes in Karabağlar, Menderes,
00:29:13and Konak. At the same time,
00:29:16around 5:30 and 6
00:29:19o'clock, an operation was also carried out at Menderes
00:29:22Municipality, and the computer and flash drives of Mayor
00:29:26İlkay Çiçek were seized,
00:29:29and investigations were carried out at his residence.
00:29:33An arrest warrant was issued for 16 people, and 15
00:29:36of these people were apprehended,
00:29:39and then they were brought here, to the gendarmerie
00:29:42command, and their statements are still being taken.
00:29:46Among these people, as I just mentioned,
00:29:49is Menderes Mayor İlkay Çiçek.
00:29:53Yes, one person could not be reached, Deputy
00:29:56Mayor Rüzgar Sönmez
00:29:58could not be reached.
00:30:02As a result of police intelligence cooperation,
00:30:06Rüzgar Sönmez was found
00:30:09in a house yesterday around
00:30:135 p.m. and brought here.
00:30:16His statement is also being taken here.
00:30:19So, what is at the center of the accusations, what is
00:30:22the focus of the accusations? There are serious allegations,
00:30:25especially regarding zoning.
00:30:29Related to irregularities in zoning.
00:30:32There is extortion, and these 16 people are also accused
00:30:36of forming a criminal organization to carry
00:30:40out this bribery, extortion, and
00:30:43irregularities. They are accused of forming a criminal
00:30:46organization. Their statements are still being taken here,
00:30:50and most likely,
00:30:53they will be referred to the courthouse tomorrow
00:30:57morning. These people are accused of making
00:31:00irregularities in matters such as issuing occupancy
00:31:04permits, construction licenses, and zoning changes for
00:31:06illegal gains. Let's
00:31:10leave the floor to the center again.
00:31:13We shared the photo
00:31:17frames from one of today's important meetings, the meeting
00:31:21between President Erdoğan and MHP Chairman Devlet
00:31:25Bahçeli, with you just a moment ago. We are
00:31:28now showing you the images shared regarding that
00:31:32meeting, the first moments when the reception
00:31:35took place, after the photo frames.
00:31:38Approximately 30 minutes, half an hour, has passed in this
00:31:42meeting. It is taking place in an important period,
00:31:45on an important day. This week, in the process of a Turkey
00:31:49free of terrorism, it is also critical and important
00:31:53for the meeting as it takes place
00:31:56at a time when the target is very close, dear viewers. As you
00:32:00know, the draft law was submitted to the Parliament Speaker yesterday.
00:32:03The details of the draft law were shared. There were
00:32:06busy days in the Parliament. Before that, we are talking
00:32:10about a process of approximately 2 years, the process
00:32:13where ideas and steps regarding the "Turkey without Terror"
00:32:16process began to be realized. Almost two years have passed
00:32:19since then. The parliamentary commission also started its
00:32:22work on August 5, 2025, and a year later, a consensus
00:32:26was reached on the draft law with intense agreement,
00:32:29dear viewers, and the text and the draft law were submitted
00:32:33to the Parliament Speaker yesterday, and immediately afterwards,
00:32:36President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is receiving MHP Chairman
00:32:40Devlet Bahçeli today. This reception also lasted
00:32:44approximately half an hour.
00:32:54Esteemed viewers, the moment a four-story building collapsed
00:32:57in Istanbul was captured by security cameras. You can
00:33:00actually see the effect of a large explosion in the vicinity.
00:33:03Look, you can see a citizen who had just done some shopping
00:33:07at a market nearby quickly
00:33:10moving away and fleeing. Thankfully,
00:33:13dear viewers, precautions were taken
00:33:17in advance due to the attention of the residents of the building.
00:33:21A controlled demolition operation also started
00:33:25in the risky building
00:33:26next to the collapsed building.
00:33:31The building collapsed suddenly, and a cloud of dust covered
00:33:35the surroundings. Those moments were captured by security cameras.
00:33:39A citizen narrowly escaped death.
00:33:43I was sitting in the office and
00:33:45it came like that, I thought it was an earthquake, but it was my first
00:33:49time experiencing such an earthquake, like a sound from below,
00:33:52I went outside
00:33:55and it was full of dust. The evacuated building
00:33:59collapsed here, it could have fallen on a child or something.
00:34:02We had a narrow escape. I was at the
00:34:05entrance of the park. Then suddenly,
00:34:08I heard a sister's voice. Then I looked back
00:34:11and the building had collapsed. I was very scared then, I thought it was an earthquake.
00:34:15A four-story building in Bahçelievler, Istanbul,
00:34:19was evacuated due to sounds coming from the columns. The structure,
00:34:23which contained 22 apartments
00:34:24and 3 workplaces, collapsed
00:34:28shortly after the evacuation. The building next to the collapsed
00:34:31building was also damaged. Municipal teams started
00:34:34controlled demolition work on the damaged building.
00:34:37Extensive security measures were taken in the area. Police, fire department, AFAD, UMKE,
00:34:41health, and municipal police
00:34:45teams were present. Due to the demolition work, some
00:34:48streets in the area were closed to pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
00:34:52Some buildings in the vicinity were also evacuated
00:34:54as a precaution
00:34:58during the demolition. We will continue with images
00:35:01from Bursa. A traffic accident in the Beşyol
00:35:04area of Osmangazi district and those moments captured
00:35:07by security cameras, dear viewers. You are watching. Look,
00:35:11a motorcyclist and a pedestrian narrowly escaped an accident.
00:35:15The motorcyclist loses control of the handlebars,
00:35:18and passes by the pedestrian on the sidewalk to avoid hitting
00:35:22them. There is caution there, but he crashes into
00:35:26the wall by the side of the road at high speed, dear
00:35:29viewers. As you can see, the pedestrian narrowly
00:35:32escaped the accident, but the motorcyclist was seriously injured.
00:35:36Look, we see a part of the motorcycle that fell to the
00:35:39ground due to the impact. The driver was also
00:35:43thrown by the impact, which is not fully visible
00:35:46in the footage, but he was seriously
00:35:49injured in this accident, dear viewers.
00:35:52The motorcyclist narrowly missed the pedestrian
00:35:56walking on the sidewalk, but
00:35:57as we said, the motorcyclist
00:36:03was seriously injured. Ladies and gentlemen, in Kadirli
00:36:07district of Osmaniye, while repairing a mobile
00:36:10phone at a technical service, smoke suddenly started
00:36:13to rise from the battery. We experience this situation very often, as you know.
00:36:17Especially when it happens during
00:36:20repairs, it is also captured by the security
00:36:24cameras of the workplaces. The owner, İsmail Şen,
00:36:27noticed the situation, placed the phone on the workbench,
00:36:31and moved away. As the phone fell onto the table, the battery
00:36:35suddenly exploded and then caught fire. Thankfully,
00:36:38İsmail Şen quickly extinguished the flames
00:36:41with a fire extinguisher.
00:36:47Those moments were recorded by the workplace's security
00:36:50camera. In California, USA, hundreds of hectares
00:36:54of land turned to ash due to forest fires.
00:36:58European countries are also battling fires. Hundreds
00:37:01of thousands of hectares of forest land have been destroyed
00:37:04by fires this summer. In Greece, the moments when flames engulfed
00:37:07a neighborhood in minutes due to strong winds were also
00:37:11captured by security cameras.
00:37:15California, USA, is battling forest
00:37:19fires. The forest fire that broke out in the Calaveras
00:37:22region spread over a large area due to strong winds.
00:37:26While dense smoke covered the sky, approximately
00:37:29700 hectares of land turned to ash.
00:37:33Evacuation decisions were made in some regions
00:37:36as the flames approached
00:37:37residential areas.
00:37:41In Greece, the progression of the forest fire
00:37:44was captured second by second by security cameras.
00:37:48The images are from the Porto Germeno region. In the images
00:37:51recorded by a camera on a house balcony, it is seen that
00:37:54the flames, growing under the influence of strong
00:37:58winds, gradually enveloped the neighborhood. The flames
00:38:01reach the house where the camera is located. In the Attica
00:38:05region, where the fire was effective, more than
00:38:0813,000 hectares of land turned to ash in one week.
00:38:11Officials continue damage assessment studies to determine
00:38:15the extent of the damage
00:38:19caused by the fire. The forest fire that broke
00:38:22out in the Lower Austria province of Austria
00:38:26rapidly grew due to extreme heat and drought.
00:38:29Dense smoke covered the sky. While the fire
00:38:33was intervened at the highest
00:38:34alarm level, more than 500
00:38:37firefighters participated in the efforts. In Europe,
00:38:41thousands of hectares of land turned to ash in forest
00:38:45fires this summer. According to the report prepared
00:38:48by the World Wide Fund for Nature on fires,
00:38:5170,000 hectares of forest land burned in Italy,
00:38:55219 hectares in Spain,
00:38:58and 91 hectares in France. In the last 20 years,
00:39:01the amount of forest land destroyed
00:39:04by fires has increased
00:39:08by 133%. We shared the fires and images
00:39:11that caused thousands of hectares of land outside our borders
00:39:15to turn to ash. Let's return to our country. A wheat field
00:39:18in Havsa district of Edirne caught fire. We will get
00:39:22the latest situation and information about that fire. Yavuz Demir
00:39:25is waiting for us right there. "Get
00:39:28ready.
00:39:31A fire broke out in a harvested wheat field in Abalar village,
00:39:34Havsa district of Edirne. According to what we learned
00:39:37from the locals, the cause of the fire
00:39:40was said to be from electrical wires.
00:39:43A bird landing on the electrical wires
00:39:46caused a short circuit, and the
00:39:49flames somehow spread to the ground.
00:39:53After that, as you can see, the scene
00:39:56is horrifying. Approximately
00:40:0020 football fields
00:40:02worth of land burned. Of course,
00:40:05the wheat field has been harvested, but
00:40:09the remaining straw is useful, a valuable
00:40:13thing. As you can see, there is a straw bale.
00:40:16My cameraman friend, TRT cameraman Doğukan Vurgun,
00:40:20is showing it on screen. The area is very windy.
00:40:24However, we can say that it has almost been brought
00:40:27under control. This is a surface fire, a stubble fire.
00:40:31Let's go slowly towards that direction. Let's try
00:40:34to show why such black, dense smoke is coming
00:40:37out, dear viewers. This is Abalar Village,
00:40:41Kuzucu Village is right ahead at the point my cameraman
00:40:44friend is showing. Look, there is a flare-up there.
00:40:48Teams from the Regional Directorate of Forestry are intervening
00:40:51in the flames so that they don't spread to another
00:40:55And right next to it,
00:40:58there is an unharvested sunflower field.
00:41:01Fruit farming is very common in this region.
00:41:05There are also fruit fields, or rather, fruit orchards.
00:41:08Let's not get into that smoke, please. Now it will spray
00:41:12water towards us, so it doesn't splash on us.
00:41:16Come back a little. Yes, dear viewers,
00:41:19as you can see, there are grassy
00:41:23areas right by the side of the road.
00:41:26When the fire spread to those grassy areas,
00:41:29the flames also spread to the other side
00:41:32of the road. In fact, the flames start at
00:41:35the point that comes into view, and then, with
00:41:39the intensity of the wind, they jumped
00:41:42to this area, meaning
00:41:45they crossed the road. Look, it's coming into
00:41:48view now, the fire department is also
00:41:52intervening, but it's a road of approximately
00:41:555-10 meters. The flames have also entered
00:41:58the harvested wheat field on the opposite side.
00:42:02So how does this happen? Look, even pressurized
00:42:06water hasn't reached the smoke yet
00:42:10due to the wind. Look, there is an incredible
00:42:13wind in the region, but since it is
00:42:17a surface fire, we can say that the
00:42:20teams have made it easier now. Of course,
00:42:23there are many
00:42:25journalists in the region,
00:42:29and they are also trying to film it, but we saw
00:42:33some people behind the smoke down there.
00:42:35Now,
00:42:38we have turned right a little.
00:42:42Look, as the smoke thins out,
00:42:45we can see how dense and large
00:42:49an area it has covered or how large
00:42:52an area has burned. The fire engine is coming.
00:42:56Come forward a little.
00:42:59I think the fire department
00:43:03will intervene from another point.
00:43:06Look, there is a fruit tree right behind me, and it has
00:43:10also unfortunately been affected by the
00:43:13flames. It's as if it was held
00:43:17here. The teams were successful, it doesn't
00:43:21seem like it will go further from this point.
00:43:24Should we go down a little? Look, dear viewers,
00:43:28this area is a harvested wheat field,
00:43:32the wheat has been removed, but the straw
00:43:35bales came into view a moment ago.
00:43:38Look, to the right of
00:43:40this point,
00:43:43there is also an unharvested, unripe sunflower
00:43:46field. The road we are walking on
00:43:50is actually a harvested wheat field, a grain
00:43:53field, a harvested wheat field. The remaining
00:43:57straw, because it is dry, ignites with a tiny
00:44:01spark. Such flames grow,
00:44:04and you can't stop
00:44:05them when
00:44:08the wind comes.
00:44:11The number of teams has also increased, and the wind
00:44:14has started to scatter the ashes. There is an unburned
00:44:18spot below,
00:44:19I think they are straw
00:44:23bales. Should we walk towards them to show
00:44:26them to our viewers? It's a bit more stable.
00:44:30Without too much shaking.
00:44:33Now, right behind those green fields
00:44:37is Kuzucu village, to the left
00:44:40is where the fire came from, Abalar village.
00:44:44The area behind us is where the wind
00:44:47is blowing from, that's Şerbetdar village.
00:44:51God forbid, behind this ridge is
00:44:55Şerbetdar. Straw bales
00:44:58are burning there.
00:45:03Look, dear viewers, since there is nothing
00:45:06left to burn and with the intervention of the
00:45:10teams, it is gradually being extinguished.
00:45:12Let's continue downwards a
00:45:15little more.
00:45:19Pardon me, look, this
00:45:22is an area of approximately
00:45:2620 football fields.
00:45:29Of course, many of them
00:45:33are harvested wheat fields,
00:45:36but right next to them are
00:45:40fruit orchards, and those
00:45:43that have not been harvested
00:45:47have unfortunately been damaged.
00:45:49Look, the teams, look, I see straw bales
00:45:53in the direction
00:45:56of the construction machine.
00:45:59Straw bales are burning here on the ground
00:46:03so they don't spread further. The construction machine
00:46:06is also intervening to contain the flames
00:46:10by digging
00:46:12the soil.
00:46:17There are also teams from the Regional Directorate
00:46:20of Forestry there. I hope the flames
00:46:24will eventually die out there,
00:46:27as they can't find a point to spread
00:46:30further, but look, on the right here,
00:46:34a small wooded area has formed
00:46:36between the two fields,
00:46:40and there is a flare-up there.
00:46:42Let's inform the teams here
00:46:46immediately; perhaps they will see it
00:46:50and intervene here too, because the adjacent
00:46:54sunflower field must not be
00:46:57reached by the flames,
00:47:01as it would cause great damage to
00:47:04the producers. This is a field
00:47:08that has not yet ripened and has
00:47:11not been harvested. Let's slowly
00:47:15walk towards that direction
00:47:18if you wish. Oh, the flames
00:47:22have started to rise
00:47:25a lot. It's time to hand
00:47:29it over to you. The teams are intervening.
00:47:33We can say it's getting easier,
00:47:36but there is also an incredible heat coming
00:47:40with the wind and smoke.
00:47:43We will continue to update you
00:47:47as new developments
00:47:49occur in the region.
00:47:59Extreme heat is affecting our country. We are experiencing
00:48:02a situation where thermometers show 40 degrees Celsius,
00:48:06and even higher in some places. Kahramanmaraş
00:48:09is one of the leading cities in this regard.
00:48:12Our reporter Asilhan Yılmaz is in the region. We mentioned
00:48:16the temperature shown by the thermometers, but
00:48:19Asilhan, the felt temperature might be different. What measures?
00:48:31Of course, you said 40 degrees in Kahramanmaraş, but we are
00:48:34here with you with an air temperature much
00:48:37higher than 40 degrees. Especially the rise
00:48:41in air temperature above 40 degrees
00:48:44inevitably affected life in Kahramanmaraş
00:48:47negatively. Traffic eased considerably
00:48:51in the busy areas of the city, and
00:48:54there was also a significant silence.
00:48:58We are in Ali İzzet Begoviç Park, one of the
00:49:01park areas highly preferred by cameras. The silence
00:49:05here is also one of the biggest indicators
00:49:09of how high the temperature is. Of course. Scorching
00:49:13temperatures inevitably affect daily life negatively.
00:49:17Of course, during the hours when the temperature

00:58:16We are with you once again with the news agenda segment.
00:58:19We are here to bring you the intense agenda. There
00:58:23was an important reception that ended a few minutes
00:58:26ago at the Presidential Complex. President Erdoğan
00:58:30received MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli. The main topic
00:58:34of the meeting was undoubtedly the legislative proposal prepared
00:58:37for a Turkey without terrorism, the draft law submitted
00:58:41to the Parliament. But we want to learn all the details
00:58:44about the important meeting. Our reporter,
00:58:47Ahmet Yılmaz, is with us at the point where the meeting
00:58:51took place. We would like to get the details and
00:58:54any statement regarding the content from him,

00:59:02President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Nationalist Movement
00:59:05Party Chairman Devlet Bahçeli held
00:59:09their third meeting of the year at the Presidential
00:59:13Complex. Like the previous meetings, this meeting
00:59:16lasted approximately 45 minutes. So, what
00:59:20was the agenda of this important meeting, which was actually
00:59:23a surprise meeting not included in President Recep Tayyip
00:59:27Erdoğan's official program? Important developments are taking
00:59:30place in the process of a Turkey without terrorism. Yesterday,
00:59:33the legislative proposal regarding the process was submitted to the Parliament,
00:59:37and one of the first signatories of this legislative
00:59:40proposal was MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli. Today's
00:59:44meeting between President Erdoğan and MHP Chairman Bahçeli.
00:59:48We anticipate that comprehensive evaluations were made regarding
00:59:52this legislative proposal. Yesterday, President Recep Tayyip
00:59:55Erdoğan made a statement on his social media
00:59:58account, expressing his gratitude to MHP Chairman
01:00:01Devlet Bahçeli for his contributions to the successful completion
01:00:04of this legislative proposal and the process after
01:00:07its submission to the Parliament. Similarly, on Tuesday,
01:00:11a similar thank you came from Devlet Bahçeli,
01:00:15the MHP Chairman, to President
01:00:17Erdoğan. The goal of a Turkey without terrorism,
01:00:21which started with MHP Chairman Bahçeli's historical call
01:00:24and was actually materialized by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's
01:00:28will, has become a state project. At this
01:00:31point, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and MHP
01:00:35Chairman Devlet Bahçeli have held many meetings
01:00:39so far. But today's meeting is undoubtedly
01:00:42very important. As we know, the legislative
01:00:46proposal was submitted to the Parliament yesterday. We expect
01:00:50that both the stage reached within the scope of the process
01:00:53so far and the path to be followed after the legislative proposal
01:00:57is submitted and becomes law in the Parliament will be discussed.
