00:00:00does not want governments tied to the majority in the country to be formed and achieve stability,
00:00:03it is always a state that invests in minorities in a way that will trigger
00:00:07ethnic and sectarian conflicts, because it tries to prevent the formation
00:00:10of strong states around it. It wants countries to lose
00:00:14their internal integrity and territorial integrity, to experience internal
00:00:17conflicts, to exhaust their energy, and to create areas that Israel
00:00:21can occupy and use in the future.
00:00:23Israel's basic strategy is this doctrine, which is why
00:00:27they invested heavily not only in PKK members, but also
00:00:30in the southern Druze, and they were involved in military activities aimed
00:00:33at preventing the Syrian government from establishing
00:00:37dominance there due to its proximity to Israel. They carried out
00:00:40serious attacks, if you remember. Again, in the region, they are trying
00:00:43to build a structure that exists in the regions to the east
00:00:47of Dera in the Suwayda region, by supporting various
00:00:51Druze commanders under the leadership of Al-Hijri, in order to continue
00:00:54a separatist agenda. If possible, when the conjuncture is appropriate,
00:00:57they want to incite this structure to rebellion again
00:01:00and create an independent area, or by intervening militarily
00:01:03under the guise of providing humanitarian aid to these structures,
00:01:07they want to create an occupation that includes Dera. If Israel
00:01:11had the power, if the ground forces of the IDF,
00:01:14the Israeli army, had the power, and if there were no deterrent
00:01:18elements like Turkey, it would definitely try to implement
00:01:21this plan and occupy a large area from the Dera region
00:01:25to Suwayda. However, the formation of
00:01:28a stable government in Damascus, the country's ethnic and sectarian
00:01:32divisions, the successful governance of the country by Ahmet
00:01:36Hara, and the largely resolved PKK issue east
00:01:39of the Euphrates have brought about the formation of a unified
00:01:42country. A strong Damascus government was built with
00:01:45Turkey's political, economic, and military support, and above
00:01:48all, Turkey, with President Erdoğan's engagement with Trump,
00:01:51pushed America into a position alongside Turkey and Damascus.
00:01:55And here, of course, it was a great achievement
00:01:59that Barack became Trump's special envoy and designed
00:02:03America's policy in line with Turkey's and Damascus's
00:02:06interests. This needs to be emphasized. Thus, Israel's
00:02:09aggressive stance was balanced in this way. Of course,
00:02:13the Syrian army is also strengthening now. It is concentrating
00:02:16significant power, with both conventional and asymmetric
00:02:20systems, in order to be a deterrent force against Israel when needed.
00:02:23However, we should not forget that Israel still occupies
00:02:26certain areas. That is, in December 2024,
00:02:30taking advantage of the chaos and opportunity, it seized
00:02:34strategically important areas such as Mount Hermon, even
00:02:37if they were small. Now, the Damascus government needs
00:02:41to withdraw from these areas. It is trying to make Israel
00:02:44withdraw from here by putting pressure on it through both
00:02:46international and regional diplomatic activities and in the
00:02:49context of its relations with America. But unfortunately, we do not
00:02:53see much inclination for Israel to withdraw from these areas
00:02:56in the context of Netanyahu and his war cabinet.
00:03:00Thank you very much. We will move on to Iran,
00:03:03but we can connect it like this. No matter what happens,
00:03:07perhaps Syria's biggest test and the issue
00:03:10it needs to be firm about is perhaps to make
00:03:14its unitary structure, which it has achieved for the
00:03:17first time in 100 years, permanent. And
00:03:21to know that there is a power like Turkey behind it,
00:03:24because our relationship with Syria has perhaps
00:03:28turned into a common destiny rather than a relationship
00:03:31of interest. Because we were by its side
00:03:35in the most difficult times. Thank you very much. Now we will
00:03:39continue. Let's say Iran. Iran announced that an agreement
00:03:42has been reached with Oman regarding the route to be established
00:03:45for the safe passage of commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
00:03:49It was announced that the joint declaration is in its final stage.
00:03:52American media, however, claimed that ships will use
00:03:56different routes for entering and exiting the Strait of Hormuz.
00:04:05The negotiations between Iran and Oman regarding the Strait
00:04:07of Hormuz have come to an end. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign
00:04:11Affairs announced that they have reached an agreement on the
00:04:14security route. Spokesperson Ismail Bekhai stated that
00:04:18an agreement was reached on the geographical coordinates
00:04:22of the route. He said that
00:04:23the joint declaration, which includes
00:04:26the main issues, is in the final review stage. Kazem,
00:05:00Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, harshly criticized US Secretary
00:05:03of Defense P. Texate, claiming that he was misled about the
00:05:07decrease in missiles used in attacks against Iran. The White
00:05:10House denied the news. Trump, meanwhile, made a new statement
00:05:14regarding the Iran negotiations, stating that he preferred an agreement,
00:05:18but that the use of force
00:05:19was still an option.
00:05:22We were completely ready to launch the biggest attack against
00:05:26Iran since World War II. They called me and said, "Please
00:05:29don't do this, let's talk."
00:05:31US Vice President
00:05:34JD Vance said in an interview with Fox TV that negotiations
00:05:38with Iran are difficult.
00:05:41people, and they cannot speak
00:05:44with one voice within their system. There are those in the
00:05:47government who want the war to end, and there are radicals
00:05:51who want it to continue."
00:05:53Now, for example, this
00:05:56latest statement, yes, there is confusion, but they
00:05:59already told you, this is not a place you know,
00:06:03this geography is stressful, this geography is resilient,
00:06:06isn't it? You will make mistakes, let's start
00:06:10from here, then Hormuz." I wrote
00:06:13an article that will be published in Sabah newspaper
00:06:16on Saturday, titled "Why Trump had to stop the
00:06:19attack for the fifth time and give diplomacy a chance again."
00:06:23In this article, I say that there are several factors
00:06:27for this. First, Iran's significant territorial depth,
00:06:30its possession of asymmetric power elements, its population
00:06:34of 100 million, its very long coastline in Hormuz,
00:06:37and its capacity to close Hormuz. But beyond all
00:06:41this, there is a serious inventory problem in the
00:06:44US army. Currently, various sources from the
00:06:48Pentagon are leaking information that the United States
00:06:50has an incredibly small missile interceptor capacity,
00:06:53that almost 80% of the high-altitude ballistic missile
00:06:57interceptors we call THAAD have been used up, that
00:07:0060% of the interceptor missiles used by Patriot
00:07:04batteries have been used, and that they have lost
00:07:0870-80% of their inventory of guided and ballistic
00:07:11missiles used for attack, such as Tomahawk. And it
00:07:14will take almost 3-4 years to re-produce these.
00:07:17So, currently, the United States was caught in the
00:07:21war, first the Ukraine war, then the Iran war, with
00:07:24a very serious lack of stock and production capacity
00:07:28in the defense industry. The United States produces
00:07:31much more sophisticated systems. These are both
00:07:34extremely expensive and take a very long time
00:07:37to produce, and we see that the defense industry system
00:07:41in America is very seriously inadequate. So, Centcom generals
00:07:45sometimes told Trump that "we are not ready for
00:07:49a new war right now. This will seriously cause
00:07:52difficulties in protecting our bases in the region,
00:07:55the Gulf countries, and Israel, and we could suffer very serious
00:07:59losses." When Trump didn't take these seriously, they started
00:08:02leaking them to the press, and today Trump even tweeted
00:08:06that "those who leaked these are traitors, we don't
00:08:10have such a problem, we are ready for war." But you know,
00:08:13two days ago, he again threatened Iran very seriously,
00:08:16but then he said that "regional countries called me to give
00:08:20diplomacy a chance, and I stopped the war again," making
00:08:23such an approach for the fifth time. So, what message
00:08:27does this send to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards? The Iranian
00:08:30Revolutionary Guards are more confident than ever right now.
00:08:34They are acting with maximalist demands at the table. In fact,
00:08:37there were two different positions within Iran, you
00:08:40know. One part, which gave more chance to diplomacy,
00:08:44saying, "Yes, we have achieved certain military gains
00:08:47on the field, but we must turn this into politics and diplomacy. We should
00:08:51not enter into a great adventure anymore." Even
00:08:55this group was somewhat reluctant, like they were
00:08:58standing in the middle. On one side, there were
00:09:02politicians who were also in favor of giving diplomacy
00:09:05a chance. But the Revolutionary Guards are very clear, especially
00:09:09seeing these shortcomings of the United States, and they say,
00:09:12"We have already lost everything we could lose. If we take
00:09:16control of Hormuz, this will guarantee our next 100
00:09:19years and create a brand new Iran." Indeed, if
00:09:23control of Hormuz passes to Iran, could the control
00:09:27of all small Gulf countries also pass into Iran's
00:09:31hands? Is there such a possibility? Is the agreement they claim
00:09:34to have reached with Oman to draw Oman to their
00:09:38side, or to offer a model proposal? Of course,
00:09:41the United States and the countries of the region normally
00:09:44cannot accept this. That is, this would completely destroy
00:09:48America's superpower status, because if you
00:09:52cannot provide freedom of navigation in the seas and straits,
00:09:56you lose your superpower status. And America's entry
00:09:59into this war and its being dragged into this
00:10:03situation is another cost. Especially, Qatar, Bahrain,
00:10:07Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates are currently
00:10:11entirely dependent on the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran
00:10:14controlling that region means that Iran will completely
00:10:17manage the desired ships, effectively tying any country
00:10:21it wants to a vehicle. And interestingly, America
00:10:25has its 5th Fleet in Bahrain, you know, its navy. Now,
00:10:28the passage of those ships will also be with Iran's
00:10:32permission, and Iran will not give such permission
00:10:35to the United States anymore. So what is happening now?
00:10:39Iran certainly has maximalist demands, but can they be realized?
00:10:43There are different news flows from the region, and we see
00:10:47conflicting news. Even oil prices fluctuate, sometimes
00:10:51falling, sometimes rising. There is uncertainty. What
00:10:53exactly happened, and what will happen remains uncertain.
00:10:57The different positions within Iran also reinforce the
00:10:59uncertainty about what kind of outcome this will produce.
00:11:03According to the latest information, Iran has been negotiating
00:11:07with Oman for a long time. Can a new regime be established
00:11:10in this region, a transitional regime? As far as we understand,
00:11:14they have currently introduced a new model for one or
00:11:18two months. America also needs this.
00:11:21Ships entering will enter from a route close to Iran. When exiting,
00:11:26they will exit from a route close to Oman.
00:11:29For a certain period, Iran will not charge any money
00:11:33for these passages, but Iran will ensure control over
00:11:36entries and exits together with Oman. Iran's main
00:11:39goal is not to get money at first. The important
00:11:43thing here is for its control to be recognized within
00:11:47a regional and international framework. After that, it will implement
00:11:51the regime it wants, and it will allow the passage
00:11:55of ships from countries it wants at any time,
00:11:59and not allow those it doesn't. It will be able
00:12:02to collect a certain amount of money for various
00:12:06service fees at any time. My prediction is this:
00:12:09It needs time. First, Trump made very large
00:12:13agreements with American defense industry companies,
00:12:16and he started to allocate serious funding for the
00:12:19rapid production of critical components, parts, and interceptors
00:12:23that America currently needs. And there is an upcoming
00:12:27election in the United States, you know. Now,
00:12:30after managing the situation on the field until the
00:12:34elections and turning the elections in his favor
00:12:38in some way, and also considering the elections
00:12:42in Israel, if Iran's maximalist demands and
00:12:45demands for control in Hormuz continue after the necessary
00:12:48increase in stocks of both offensive and defensive
00:12:52systems, there is a possibility of launching a larger
00:12:55confessions regarding his connection scenario. The second
00:12:58is for Iran to approach the situation more reasonably
00:13:02and to convert its gains against America on the
00:13:05field into diplomatic and political advantages,
00:13:09to step back from its maximalist demands, and to come
00:13:13up with a more acceptable offer to the regional
00:13:15countries and America, followed by the start
00:13:19of nuclear negotiations and a larger agreement
00:13:22to lift sanctions against Iran. This is the second
00:13:25scenario. Of course, we will see which one
00:13:29will come to fruition here. Fatih, it is
00:13:32difficult to analyze because none of the actors are
00:13:35rational. I was just about to ask that. Trump is an
00:13:38irrational character, and Israel is already acting like irrational
00:13:42characters with religious and theological ambitions,
00:13:45or actors within Iran who act irrationally,
00:13:49all three of them have come together, and anything
00:13:53can be expected from
00:14:13them. So, this should also be kept in mind
00:14:16as a precaution. Thank you very much. In summary,
00:14:20we can say that you said America needs time. Naturally,
00:14:23this picture shows that, but does the world it
00:14:25dominates need time, or how much longer can
00:14:29it endure? For example, we will talk about the markets
00:14:33soon. If it opens, at least with these temporary
00:14:37corridors, there will be a significant drop in oil
00:14:40prices, and more importantly,
00:14:41refined products will start
00:14:46to spread back to the region from the refineries
00:14:49in the region. There will also be a certain drop
00:14:53in refinery margins, and oil and chemical
00:14:56industrial products that the world needs will be accessible,
00:14:58and a global crisis will
00:15:02be triggered. Dear viewers,
00:15:05you know that US President Trump has a social media platform, and he shares
00:15:09all his critical messages there.
00:15:13Truth Social
00:15:14has brought early
00:15:18access to posts. The cost is $100,000 per month.
00:15:22Those who pay this fee will be able to see posts
00:15:25from the 10 most followed accounts, including Trump's,
00:15:28before anyone else. The social media platform called Truth Social, owned
00:15:32by US President Donald
00:15:36Trump, has introduced a new feature. According to this,
00:15:39by paying a certain fee, posts can be seen before
00:15:43anyone else. So, how does the system, which
00:15:47is offered for sale but not yet implemented,
00:15:51work? Companies will be able to see posts
00:15:54from the 10 most followed accounts, including Trump's,
00:15:58for $100,000 a month. Corporate subscribers will
00:16:01receive notifications in advance instead of constantly
00:16:05refreshing the Truth Social application. This way,
00:16:09they will be able to access posts in advance.
00:16:12This application was named Truth API.
00:16:16Sir, we just talked a little bit
00:16:19about the global markets. Of course, these elements
00:16:23that closely concern the whole world have direct
00:16:26reflections. For example, gold prices have been
00:16:30rising uninterruptedly for 4 days. The price of
00:16:33an ounce of gold has increased by more than
00:16:36350 liras since the beginning of the week, exceeding
00:16:396,500 liras and reaching its two-month peak. So,
00:16:42will this rise continue? What should investors pay
00:16:46attention to in their buying and selling decisions?
00:16:49We will talk with economist Professor Doctor Murat Çetinkaya.
00:16:53Welcome, hocam, to our broadcast. Welcome, Fatih Bey.
00:16:56Good evening. Thank you very much. Now, the question
00:17:00is very meaningful, but what should investors do?
00:17:04Can investors reconsider their decision to continue
00:17:07investing or not in such an environment, also for
00:17:11the world? Because there is indeed a very volatile
00:17:15market. How long do you think this can continue?
00:17:18Let's start with gold, for example. Well, let me
00:17:22say, the important advice for investors is to stay
00:17:25away from daily political statements. That is, if
00:17:29they adopt those instantaneous political statements as
00:17:32an investment strategy, they will fall into a
00:17:35very serious misconception. We need to underline
00:17:39that particularly. Of course, when it comes to gold,
00:17:42yes, we can clearly see an upward trend again.
00:17:45In fact, as of today, the ounce gold level
00:17:48has reached 4262 dollars. I can even say it has
00:17:52seen its 7-week peak, Fatih Bey. Yesterday,
00:17:55it provided a significant return of over 4%.
00:17:59Perhaps it is the strongest momentum or performance
00:18:02since February. Of course, I should state here
00:18:06that yes, you were talking about the war
00:18:09a little while ago, but I think the weakening
00:18:12expectation of a US interest rate hike is a much
00:18:16bigger factor at the base of this movement,
00:18:20this acceleration. That is, I should particularly state
00:18:23that the probability of an interest rate hike in
00:18:27September has decreased from 65% to 57%
00:18:31within a week. Of course, this factor emerged as
00:18:34a fundamental dynamic that strengthened gold a little
00:18:37more. Now, when we look at it, yes, I think
00:18:41the direction that US bond yields and the
00:18:44dollar will follow together will be the main determinant
00:18:47for gold. As you know, last week, the Fed
00:18:51did not make any changes in its interest rate decision,
00:18:54keeping it stable. But in the period ahead,
00:18:58especially the course of employment and inflation
00:19:02data, I think will be very decisive in the
00:19:05gold markets as to whether
00:19:07interest rates will be raised or not. But I
00:19:11also need to state this, when we return
00:19:14to your initial question, will this rise continue,
00:19:18or what are the factors triggering it? My guess
00:19:21is that the expectation for gold in the coming
00:19:24period, the mid- and long-term story, has not yet
00:19:27ended. Let me state this, look, the World
00:19:30Gold Council states that in the first half of
00:19:342026, total gold demand increased by 2% to
00:19:372,522 tons. That is, the monetary value of
00:19:41demand, Fatih Bey, is currently breaking records
00:19:45at 300 billion dollars. Now, all strategists
00:19:48and international organizations still state that central
00:19:51banks will have a serious demand for gold
00:19:55in the coming period. I think that investors'
00:19:58purchases in Asia and over-the-counter markets will
00:20:02also come to a point where they further support
00:20:06gold from the second half of the year.
00:20:08My base scenario right now is that in the
00:20:12short term, there is a possibility of it moving
00:20:15in a wide range of 4050-4450 rather than a
00:20:19sharp and one-sided rise. But I would like to
00:20:22particularly state that in the medium to long
00:20:26term, I still think that gold will be
00:20:29an attractive asset for investors in the coming
00:20:32period, because there is a serious change
00:20:36and transformation in the international financial system.
00:20:39Central banks are implementing a de-dollarization strategy
00:20:41and are substituting gold for the dollar. This
00:20:45naturally increases the demand of central banks, and
00:20:49therefore, I would like to emphasize that the
00:20:52trend is still upward. Hocam, you used a very
00:20:55important phrase, which I immediately noted down.
00:20:59You said, "it is a long-term investment, and you can
00:21:03achieve good long-term gains." Now, your emphasizing
00:21:07the term "long-term" twice really caught my attention,
00:21:11because gold, as you, our esteemed professors,
00:21:14always emphasize, is a long-term investment. However,
00:21:18the fluctuating situation experienced in the last
00:21:22year, since August-September last year, a year has
00:21:25passed. This volatility, this unsettledness, has
00:21:29whetted the appetite of investors with a
00:21:32higher risk appetite. But there is a danger
00:21:36here, isn't there? Gold investors should have certain
00:21:39characteristics, I think. What do you say?
00:21:43Well, let me put it this way, maybe we
00:21:46shouldn't compare it to 2025, Fatih Bey. Because
00:21:50there's a different equation now, of course. We won't
00:21:53see those sharp rises we saw in 2025.
00:21:57I want to emphasize that, because 2025 was
00:22:01very different. During that period, as I
00:22:04mentioned earlier, central banks, especially the
00:22:07Chinese Central Bank, the Polish Central Bank,
00:22:11and even our own central bank, had a very
00:22:14strong demand for gold. Of course, when investor
00:22:17demand was added to this, prices went up much
00:22:21higher than expected. Of course, this reversed
00:22:25with the war. It reversed within a period of
00:22:294-5 months, approaching 6 months, starting at
00:22:33the end of February. Of course, this reversal
00:22:37was also due to the fact that when oil
00:22:40prices went up a little more, Fatih
00:22:44Bey, some countries adopted a strategy of selling
00:22:48gold to close this deficit. The Gulf region,
00:22:51isn't it, hocam? Yes, absolutely, absolutely.
00:22:55This naturally pushed gold prices down. That is,
00:22:59right now, in the coming period, look,
00:23:02the uncertainty about where the war will go and what will happen
00:23:06still continues. That is, today we are talking
00:23:09about the end of the war, but perhaps
00:23:12tomorrow we may face a completely opposite situation.
00:23:16We know that an announcement from Trump could completely
00:23:20reverse everything. That is, it is not
00:23:22a finished situation. But unfortunately, as
00:23:25you also know, and as you talk to your
00:23:29guests, wars no longer last for a short
00:23:33time, they last for a very long time.
00:23:36And the market is now starting to carve
00:23:40out a role for itself accordingly, Fatih Bey.
00:23:43That is, there are some markets that are
00:23:47slowly recovering from the effects of the war's
00:23:50the possibility of continuing in the upcoming period, especially the statement made by the World
00:23:54Gold Council today, was in that direction. In fact, there might be some volatility in the short term,
00:23:57but our long-term expectation clearly
00:24:01indicates an upward trend in gold prices. On the other hand,
00:24:05since gold is still an attractive investment tool, there is a significant demand not only for
00:24:08physical gold but also for gold investment funds, which
00:24:12continues to drive prices upwards. So, I think
00:24:16in the upcoming period. The main
00:24:18trend is upward, let me emphasize that. We still maintain the potential
00:24:22for the main trend to be upward, but
00:24:26as I said, a continuous and straight rise is not
00:24:29very realistic. I think the direction of gold, as I said,
00:24:33will be determined more by real interest rates in the US,
00:24:36the dollar, and the Fed's expectations,
00:24:40rather than the safe haven rhetoric. So, we should also state
00:24:44that, yes, we used the term upward, but
00:24:48for new peaks to emerge, Mr. Fatih, let me emphasize that
00:24:51the dollar needs to weaken, real interest rates need to fall,
00:24:55and if central banks continue to buy gold, which I mentioned earlier,
00:24:59I still believe that the direction of gold, as I said,
00:25:03will continue to be upward in the medium and long term. Volatility
00:25:06may occur in the short term due to geopolitical risks
00:25:10or interest rate expectations in the US, but the trend
00:25:14in the medium and long term is upward. However, this upward trend
00:25:17does not mean that there will be rapid movements
00:25:21in 2025. Sir, let me put it this way,
00:25:24if you allow me, no professor, no economist will say
00:25:27"buy here, sell there," but you can deduce some things
00:25:31from the figures he mentioned that indicate
00:25:35the predicted range of movement. Sir, he says that
00:25:38for gold, especially the range between 4050
00:25:42and 4450 dollars is important.
00:25:45I took note, right, sir? I think I'm saying it correctly.
00:25:48Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, so everyone
00:25:52should consider these short-term fluctuations
00:25:56when making investments. Absolutely,
00:25:59absolutely. We always emphasize this, not just for gold, Mr. Fatih.
00:26:03When investing, gradual buying is always important, whether it's for stocks
00:26:07or gold. For example, our investors go and invest all their money
00:26:10in a single stock, but if they were to buy gradually or choose a stock
00:26:14or a company, adopting a gradual purchasing method would provide a significant advantage
00:26:18both when prices fall and when they rise. We always say, Mr. Fatih, that
00:26:21in Turkey, the most significant deficiency of investors
00:26:25is that financial literacy has not reached a sufficient
00:26:28level. We always make investments based on rumors.
00:26:31For example, everyone buys because they say gold will rise,
00:26:35or everyone buys because they say this stock will increase.
00:26:38Of course, if we can present an argument to improve our
00:26:42financial literacy rather than relying on this perception,
00:26:45I believe we can achieve a more advantageous position in terms of both
00:26:49returns and losses from our investments. We would like to thank Professor Dr. Murat
00:26:53Çetinkaya for his contribution. Thank you, sir. I thank you
00:26:57and wish you good broadcasts. Thank you
00:27:18that daily production has reached 83,300
00:27:21barrels. Minister Bayraktar also drew attention to the impact
00:27:24of the "Turkey without terror" process on the region.
00:27:27He said, "Gabar has become the address
00:27:31of production, employment, and hope."
00:27:34Turkey has refreshed its production record in Gabar, with daily
00:27:38oil production
00:27:42reaching 83,300 barrels.
00:27:45Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar evaluated
00:27:48this important development. He touched upon
00:27:52the impact of the "Turkey without terror" process on the region.
00:27:55and there was hopelessness, with the process of Turkey free of terrorism, Gabar
00:27:58became the address of production, employment,
00:28:02and hope. Our oil production in Gabar
00:28:06reached a record of 83,300 barrels per day.
00:28:09Minister Bayraktar gave a signal that production in Gabar will increase
00:28:12even further. We will work tirelessly to increase production
00:28:15and continue to be a source of hope for the future of our citizens.
00:28:18We showcased a small part of what we can add to
00:28:22our country in Gabar. When we spread this
00:28:26to all of Turkey
00:28:26and the entire region,
00:28:32hopefully, the future of Turkey and the entire region,
00:28:36the future of our people, our nation, will be
00:28:39much brighter. The discovery
00:28:42made in Gabar, Şırnak, in 2021
00:28:45was recorded as the biggest oil discovery
00:28:48in the history of the Republic. Turkish Petroleum
00:28:51expanded production in the region to 7 fields.
00:28:55To date, over 50 million barrels
00:28:59of crude oil have been produced. Indeed, Vice President
00:29:03Cevdet Yılmaz said
00:29:05that a global talent network
00:29:09has been created with the National Competence Initiative.
00:29:12He emphasized the importance of the "brain drain to brain power"
00:29:15approach. He said that in 2025,
00:29:19those who joined Aselsan from abroad reached 2.5 times
00:29:22the number of those who left. He was on the podium
00:29:26at the second anniversary event of the National Competence
00:29:29Initiative, conducted by the Defense Industry Academy.
00:29:32With a program that we named "from brain
00:29:35drain to brain
00:29:39power," we are trying to provide motivation to our young people
00:29:43who will return to their country in this sense.
00:29:46In 2025, the number of people who joined
00:29:49Aselsan from abroad has reached approximately 2.5
00:29:53times the number of those who left
00:29:56Aselsan to go abroad. He drew attention to the reverse
00:30:00brain drain and reminded of the goal of full independence
00:30:03in defense. He said that a global talent network
00:30:07has been created with the National Competence Initiative.
00:30:09Our goal of full independence encompasses not only
00:30:13training human resources who will develop
00:30:16critical technologies in our country, but also
00:30:19bringing qualified human power from different
00:30:22centers around the world to Turkey. With this understanding,
00:30:26we are creating a global talent network
00:30:29by extending our National Competence Initiative
00:30:33beyond Turkey's borders. Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz
00:30:36was on the podium at the second anniversary event of the National Competence
00:30:39Initiative, organized in Ankara by the Defense Industry
00:30:42Academy. In the program, Defense Industry President
00:30:46Haluk Görgün also drew attention to the importance
00:30:49of trained human resources. It is not about
00:30:52producing platforms, but about
00:30:55having the knowledge, corporate memory,
00:30:58engineering culture,
00:31:02and human effectiveness to develop these platforms for years.
00:31:06We see human resources not as an employment category,
00:31:10but as a strategic capacity that will shape the future
00:31:14of our defense industry. Sir, Turkey's
00:31:18influence in the Balkans is closely
00:31:21monitored in Greece. Katimerini newspaper
00:31:24carried Turkey's initiatives in its spiritual geography
00:31:27to its columns.
00:31:31It said that Turkey is evaluating all possibilities
00:31:35of applying soft power in the Balkans
00:31:38based on historical, cultural, religious, and educational
00:31:42ties. Turkey protects the rights of the Turkish
00:31:45minority in the Balkans, and invests in its spiritual geography,
00:31:48which has historical and cultural ties.
00:31:51Katimerini, one of Greece's leading newspapers, published
00:31:53a news report on Turkey's
00:31:58influence in the Balkans. The report drew attention
00:32:02to the Turkish presence in Greece, Albania,
00:32:05North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia. The political
00:32:08influence of Turks in Bulgaria, North Macedonia,
00:32:12and Bosnia and Herzegovina was discussed. It was emphasized
00:32:15that Turkey's ties with Balkan countries are not only
00:32:19ethnic. The report underlined
00:32:23Turkey's historical and cultural ties with the region.
00:32:26It stated that Turkey uses every opportunity
00:32:30to apply soft power in the Balkans based on
00:32:33historical, cultural, religious, and educational ties.
00:32:36Moreover, it was stated that it does this even
00:32:40in regions where the Turkish community and minorities
00:32:43are not officially recognized. In the Greek Katimerini report,
00:32:46the example of Albania was given. Although the Turkish minority
00:32:49is not officially recognized
00:32:52in Albania, it was underlined that Turkey's influence
00:32:55in the country has strategic qualities. The Greek newspaper
00:32:58reminded that the Turkish Naval Forces have had the right to use
00:33:02the Pashaliman naval base in Vlora since 1992.
00:33:06It was also emphasized that Albania has cooperation
00:33:09with Turkey in defense with the Bayraktar TB2 SİHA.
00:33:12Dear viewers, the second phase of the ceasefire
00:33:16in Gaza has caused
00:33:17a rift between the United States
00:33:26and genocidal Israel. The Israeli press wrote
00:33:29that differences of opinion emerged. Ron,
00:33:33a close associate of killer Netanyahu, was sent to resolve
00:33:36the crisis in the Washington-Tel Aviv line.
00:33:40The second phase of the ceasefire
00:33:43in Gaza
00:33:45brought about a new
00:33:51disagreement between Washington and Tel Aviv.
00:33:55The Israeli press wrote that Ron Dermer, a close
00:33:58associate of killer Netanyahu, went to Washington
00:34:02to calm the diplomatic crisis. According to the Haaretz
00:34:05newspaper,
00:34:08genocidal Israel objected to the agreement reached with Hamas.
00:34:12partners asked Netanyahu to convene the cabinet.
00:34:45The Gaza Peace Council announced that Hamas accepted
00:34:47the roadmap
00:34:50for the second phase of the ceasefire.
00:34:54Trump also announced that an agreement had been reached
00:34:57with Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza on disarming.
00:35:01Hamas emphasizes that the implementation of the second
00:35:04phase depends on Israel fully fulfilling its obligations
00:35:08in the first phase. Now,
00:35:10truly
00:35:14difficult images to describe.
00:35:17Genocidal Israel did this too. It dug a trench
00:35:21around the prison where it held Palestinians captive
00:35:24to place crocodiles. Two ministers of the killer
00:35:27Tel Aviv administration, whom you know, visited
00:35:30the dug trench. One of the ministers
00:35:33of genocidal Israel also made scandalous remarks, saying
00:35:36that the conditions of the crocodiles would be better than those of the Filipinos
00:35:40inside. Of course, these images caused a great reaction
00:35:43in the world. Israel's plan to dig trenches around
00:35:47the prisons where Palestinians are held captive and place
00:35:50crocodiles inside was blocked by the judiciary.
00:35:54The reason for the decision was stated as the health
00:35:57of animals, not humans, being at risk.
00:36:00After these images, there is perhaps only
00:36:03one comment to be made. Even crocodile tears
00:36:06are more innocent than this Itamar Ben-Gvir, dear viewers.
00:36:10Along with this, the development in Gaza.
00:36:14More than 60 Palestinians,
00:36:22including women and children, were detained.
00:36:25Tear gas and stun grenades were thrown at journalists,
00:36:29and the entrances to the camp were closed. The killer Israel's
00:36:33provision of security services to the occupiers and its de facto
00:36:36protection of these groups was also reported in the Israeli press.
00:36:39The killer Israeli Army's
00:36:44raids on the Qalandiya refugee camp in occupied East Jerusalem
00:36:48continue. More than 60 Palestinians, including
00:36:51women and children, were detained.
00:36:54Tear gas and stun grenades were thrown at journalists,
00:36:58houses were used as interrogation centers, workplaces were destroyed,
00:37:02and the entrances to the camp were closed with piles of earth.
00:37:05Curfews were imposed, and morning prayers
00:37:09in mosques were prevented. In the West Bank,
00:37:11Israeli settlers' attacks
00:37:14on Palestinians continue. Settlers enter agricultural
00:37:17lands, set vehicles on fire, and uproot olive
00:37:21trees, which are the livelihood of Palestinians. It was also reported
00:37:25in the Israeli press
00:37:28that Israeli forces did not prevent the attacks
00:37:31of settlers who usurped Palestinian lands. It was stated
00:37:35that killer Israel provided security to the settlers
00:37:39and de facto protected these groups.
00:37:42Israel's genocidal National Security Minister
00:37:45Ben-Gvir issued a new directive regarding Palestinian
00:37:49prisoners. He demanded that the clothes and Holy Qurans
00:37:52of Palestinian prisoners
00:37:53be confiscated.
00:37:57Indeed, Israel continues to violate efforts for peace
00:38:01in the Gaza Strip and to massacre civilians. A joint statement
00:38:05was issued by the Foreign Ministers of Turkey and 7 countries
00:38:08regarding Israel's stance. The statement said that the attacks
00:38:11were a grave violation of international law
00:38:15and called on the international
00:38:17community.
00:38:20The Foreign Ministers of 8 countries issued a joint statement
00:38:24regarding Israel's ongoing attacks and violations
00:38:27against civilians in Gaza. The Foreign Ministers of Turkey,
00:38:31the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan,
00:38:35Saudi Arabia, and Jordan stated that the attacks
00:38:38in the Gaza Strip were a grave violation of international law.
00:38:42The ministers expressed their strongest condemnation
00:38:45and rejection of Israel's violations, including attacks on civilian
00:38:49infrastructure, particularly healthcare facilities and medical
00:38:52infrastructure, and the continued loss of civilian lives, including
00:38:55women and children. The joint statement noted
00:38:58that the continued violations undermine international
00:39:01efforts and deepen the humanitarian catastrophe.
00:39:04The ministers emphasized
00:39:06that providing humanitarian aid, medical supplies,
00:39:10and relief assistance throughout the Gaza Strip immediately,
00:39:13safely, and without hindrance is a legal obligation
00:39:17that cannot be compromised or mitigated under any
00:39:20circumstances.
00:39:23It was also stated that Israel's violations
00:39:27in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem are a systematic
00:39:31policy aimed at creating fait accompli and marginalizing
00:39:34the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. A call was made
00:39:38to the United Nations Security Council and the international
00:39:41community. The ministers reiterated their calls
00:39:45for practical and effective measures to compel Israel
00:39:49to fulfill its obligations under international law
00:39:51and to ensure accountability
00:40:01for those responsible for grave violations.
00:40:04Dear viewers, the investigation into the Ahbap association
00:40:08continues. MASAK examined the association's bank accounts
00:40:11and prepared a report. The report emphasized
00:40:14that money transfers amounted to millions of liras.
00:40:17It was also underlined that those who helped
00:40:21in good faith were victims of the crime. The investigation
00:40:24will also examine to which individuals and companies
00:40:34the donations made by famous names were transferred, and whether they
00:40:38were used for purposes other than intended.
00:40:42Ahbap association's bank accounts are under scrutiny. MASAK
00:40:45prepared a report regarding high-value donations
00:40:48made in 2023 and thereafter. According
00:40:51to the examination, a large number
00:40:54of singers, actors, presenters, and content
00:41:12producers made high-value payments to the association.
00:41:15The list includes 38 names.
00:41:19According to records, singer Ebru Gündeş,
00:41:22chef Somer Sivrioğlu, and artist Genco Erkal
00:41:25were found to have sent 500,000 liras each.
00:41:40Halit Ergenç made a total of
00:41:42400,000 liras in two separate transactions. The investigation will examine
00:41:45whether receipts were issued in the name of the donors
00:41:48and whether the money was used for the stated
00:41:51aid activities. If it is determined that
00:41:54the donations were used for purposes other
00:41:57than intended, the donors will be victims
00:42:00of the act. Therefore, the investigation
00:42:03is being carried out meticulously.
00:42:07To which individuals and companies were the donations
00:42:31transferred in later stages? Indeed, there has been a new
00:42:34development in the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality
00:42:37bribery and corruption case.
00:42:40The former deputy secretary general, who was previously arrested
00:42:43and released during the trial, and a businessman were re-detained.
00:42:46The two suspects sent to the courthouse were released after their statements
00:42:50to the prosecutor. Meanwhile, Tuğçe Güney, the head of the Antalya
00:42:53Metropolitan Municipality Youth Center, who was arrested
00:42:57in the prostitution operation, was alleged to have facilitated
00:43:00prostitution for Muhittin Böcek
00:43:02and his son.
00:43:06In the bribery and corruption investigation at Antalya Metropolitan
00:43:10Municipality, they were arrested. While the case was ongoing,
00:43:13they benefited from effective repentance and were released.
00:43:16The former Deputy Secretary General and a businessman
00:43:20were re-detained as part of the ongoing investigation.
00:43:23Serkan Temuçin and Çağrı Gümüşlü had shared some information
00:43:26when they were first detained last year, benefiting
00:43:30from effective repentance, and they were released. However,
00:43:34the investigation was deepened, and it was determined
00:43:37that the two suspects had not shared some information.
00:43:41The Antalya Public Prosecutor's Office's investigation
00:43:44is multi-faceted. The two suspects, who were sent to the courthouse
00:43:48after their procedures at the Antalya Provincial Police Department,
00:43:52were released by the prosecutor. Meanwhile, in Antalya,
00:43:557 people were arrested in the prostitution operation
00:43:59in which 12 suspects were detained. Tuğçe Güney, the head
00:44:02of the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Youth Center,
00:44:06is among those arrested. Güney was alleged to have
00:44:10facilitated prostitution for former Antalya Metropolitan
00:44:13Municipality Mayor Muhittin Böcek and his son Gökan Böcek.
00:44:17Following the suspension of Üsküdar Mayor Sinem Dedetaş
00:44:21from her duty due to allegations of bribery and extortion,
00:44:24a deputy mayor was elected in the Municipal Council,
00:44:28as you know. During the elections, there were discussions about letters,
00:44:31which became a big issue. AK Party Istanbul Provincial
00:44:35Chairman Abdullah Özdemir
00:44:38claimed threats and marked ballots for the elections.
00:44:41He likened the deputy mayor election to a theater play.
00:44:45We considered this invalid in the previous one.
00:44:48It was done as G6 here, so I consider this invalid.
00:44:52Location: Üsküdar Municipality. There was an election for Deputy
00:44:55Mayor to replace Sinem Dedetaş,
00:44:56who was arrested
00:44:59on charges of corruption and extortion. However,
00:45:03the election was controversial, and allegations of threats
00:45:06and marked ballots emerged. In the 4th round,
00:45:09despite the name Dündar Ziya Gültek being
00:45:12clearly understood, there was a defect
00:45:15in the letter K. It was like the letter T.
00:45:19The Bayrampaşa theater and its play were performed here.
00:45:22AK Party Istanbul Provincial Chairman Abdullah Özdemir
00:45:26claimed that the will of the Republican People's Party members of the council
00:45:29was usurped in the elections. He stated that the new party cadres
00:45:33put pressure on the CHP council members, bordering on violence.
00:45:36Extraordinary threats, punches flew.
00:46:10The provincial
00:46:11chairman and district
00:46:14chairman of the New Party, which has a democracy
00:46:18referral, were there. The Ministry of Interior
00:46:21announced that Mayor Sinem
00:46:25Dedetaş, who was arrested on charges of bribery
00:46:27and extortion, was suspended from her duty.
00:46:31Dear viewers, new details have emerged in the investigation
00:46:34into the disappearance of Gülistan Doku in Tunceli
00:46:38in 2020. The hospital barcode, prescription, and pieces of paper
00:46:42found at a depth of 14 meters in the Uzunçayır Dam
00:46:45created suspicion. The expert stated that it would not be possible
00:46:49for the papers to reach a depth of 14 meters
00:46:52and remain intact. Two of the three diver police officers detained

00:48:37who fled Soviet tyranny
00:48:45and sought refuge in Turkey, but were
00:48:47returned by a decision of İsmet İnönü,
00:48:50were shot and killed that day. The Azerbaijani
00:48:54Turks who lost their lives have not been forgotten
00:48:58despite the years that have passed.
00:49:01Our soldiers, unfortunately,
00:49:03were left in the hands
00:49:06of the enemy at the Boraltan Bridge,
00:49:08and those soldiers turned to the administration
00:49:12of that period and said the following:
00:49:16"Do not hand us over to the enemy,
00:49:19kill us yourselves, but do not hand us over to the enemy."
00:49:23Calendars showed
00:49:28August 6, 1945. 195 Azerbaijani Turks who fled Soviet oppression
00:49:32and sought refuge in Turkey marched
00:49:35to their deaths that day. With the signature
00:49:39of then-President İsmet İnönü, the Azerbaijani Turks
00:49:43were extradited to the Soviet Union.
00:49:45The issue was first
00:49:56brought up in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey
00:50:00in 1951. The details of the tragedy
00:50:03were also reflected in the parliamentary records.

00:50:29moves further escalate tension. North Korea said
00:50:33we will evaluate additional military options. According to claims,
00:50:36it tested a ballistic
00:50:37missile.
00:50:43Japan, South Korea, and North Korea are experiencing busy days
00:50:47on their axis. In the escalating tension with mutual steps, parties
00:50:50accuse or blame each other.
00:50:57Japan's military actions in the region are drawing reactions
00:51:01from both North and South Korea. The source of the tension in the Tokyo
00:51:05flood line is the islands named Dokdo or Takeshima.
00:51:08Seoul's response to Japan's claim of rights over the islands was
00:51:12to start an exercise in the disputed waters between the two countries. Following

00:51:29It also conducted a joint exercise with the United States
00:51:33off the coast of the Philippines. These developments worried North Korea. The Pyongyang
00:51:36administration argued that Tokyo was accelerating the arms race
00:51:40in the region. It announced that it would consider additional military
00:51:44options. Following this statement, South Korea
00:51:48claimed that the North had used an unidentified munition. The Tokyo
00:51:51administration, on the other hand, alleged that North Korea had launched
00:51:55a ballistic missile into the Sea
00:51:56of Japan.

01:13:58were also on the agenda. Israel, the biggest obstacle
01:14:02to establishing lasting peace and stability in the region,
01:14:06continues to deliberately sabotage diplomatic initiatives
01:14:09for a ceasefire and lasting peace in Gaza, even
01:14:13during a period when they were progressing positively. It was stated
01:14:16at the meeting that 5 F-16 fighter jets of the Turkish
01:14:20Armed Forces started their mission in Estonia on August
01:14:241st within the framework of the NATO enhanced air
01:14:28policing mission. It was also announced that Turkey will
01:14:32host the Southeast European Brigade CBrig Headquarters,
01:14:35established in 1999, until 2032. The Brigade
01:14:38Headquarters achieved full operational capability in Istanbul
01:14:41on August 3, 2026. Currently, 28 core
01:14:45personnel from six countries are on duty. The Headquarters
01:14:48is planned to be officially activated on August
01:14:5131, 2026.
01:14:55Meanwhile, friends, the 40-year cost of terrorism to the
01:14:59economy is 2.3 trillion
01:15:02dollars. So, which investments
01:15:05could have been made in the economy with this colossal
01:15:08amount? The Directorate of Communications highlighted the economic
01:15:11cost of terrorism to Turkey with examples. A video
01:15:14was prepared within the scope of the communication campaign
01:15:18launched with the label "National Solidarity." According to this,
01:15:21thousands of city hospitals could have been established
01:15:25with this cost. Maraca
01:15:27Airport or highways
01:15:32could have been built. The cost of terrorism
01:15:35to Turkey is over 2.3
01:15:38trillion dollars. When we look at it from the perspective
01:15:42of opportunity costs, the economic
01:15:45loss of the country due to terrorism
01:15:49is almost double this figure.
01:15:5231 million earthquake houses, 15 organized
01:15:56industrial zones, 218 Istanbul
01:15:59Airports, a solar power plant that would meet
01:16:0323 years of electricity consumption. The Directorate of Communications
01:16:06explained the economic cost of terrorism to Turkey
01:16:10over 40 years with data. In this context, a communication
01:16:13campaign was launched on digital media
01:16:16platforms with the hashtag "National Solidarity."
01:16:20The cost of combating terrorism to the country's economy
01:16:24was highlighted with videos and graphics prepared
01:16:27within the framework of the campaign, its productions,
01:16:30and investments. The investment capacity
01:16:34that Turkey could reach if the resources were utilized
01:16:37in different areas was explained with examples.
01:16:40Today, the magnitude of this economic burden. According
01:16:43to this, if 2.3 trillion dollars were used for investment,
01:16:47a 4600 MW solar energy plant could be established.
01:16:50Or 5191 city hospitals with
01:16:543,650,000 beds, 850 1915 Çanakkale
01:16:57bridges, more than 100 modern airports, 30,000
01:17:01kilometers of highways, and 36 million
01:17:04social housing units were given as examples
01:17:07of what could be done with the said resource.
01:17:10The video was shared on the Directorate of Communications'
01:17:14social media account. In the post, it was stated that terrorism
01:17:18not only targeted our security and national solidarity,
01:17:22but also our economy, our future, and our
01:17:25welfare. It was stated that trillions of dollars
01:17:28allocated to the fight against terrorism over the years
01:17:31prevented investments in the future.
01:17:34When our Terror-Free Turkey process reaches its destination,
01:17:38our country will be permanently rid of this heavy
01:17:41economic burden. When this issue is solved
01:17:45permanently, the winner will be all of Turkey,
01:17:47with its 86 million individuals, the nation
01:17:51and the country. The work, which quickly rose to the top
01:17:55of social media trends, also received support from its members.
01:17:58While the "National Solidarity" hashtag stood out in the posts,
01:18:01attention was drawn to the importance of the Terror-Free Turkey
01:18:05goal for economic development
01:18:14and unity. Friends, we continue. Look,
01:18:1710 years of fugitive ended in prison.
01:18:20Terrorist Burkay Karatepe, the only fugitive suspect
01:18:24of the team assigned for the assassination of the president
01:18:28on July 15, was arrested to face justice. In his
01:18:31statement to the police, the FETÖ terrorist made important
01:18:35girişimine ilişkin önemli itirafları. görüştü,
01:19:08to FETÖ and the treacherous coup attempt. He had a catalog marriage. participated in the armed and bombed attack
01:19:11on the hotel where the president was staying.
01:19:13Burkay Karatepe, a Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) terrorist, who was caught in Afyonkarahisar after 10 years on the run,
01:19:16was arrested in Mugla. He wanted to benefit from effective repentance.
01:19:20In his 69-page statement, he made important confessions regarding the organization's structure
01:19:24and the coup attempt. The terrorist Burkay Karatepe confessed that
01:19:28he maintained his connection with the organization through people responsible for him
01:19:31during his education and profession.
01:19:34He said that he got married through the organization's catalog system.
01:19:38In 2013, with the aim of getting married,
01:19:41I met someone named Hami, known as the "matchmaker brother."
01:19:44I said I wanted to marry a lady from the Hizmet movement. My ex-wife, whom I married in this way,
01:19:47was a "sister" to university students within the organization.
01:19:51The terrorist Karatepe also recounted his meeting with the head of FETO in America in 2012.
01:19:54He said that he hid himself
01:19:58so as not to be recognized when he went to the meeting.
01:20:01Before entering the area where the mansion was located,
01:20:05someone told me to change my clothes, put on a hat and glasses,
01:20:08and that they were doing this as a precaution to prevent satellite tracking.
01:20:12I changed my clothes, put on the clothes they gave me,
01:20:15and entered the entrance gate of the area where the house was located
01:20:18with this person, wearing a hat and glasses.
01:20:21I realized that the questions given to us were exactly the same as the questions
01:20:25I had received for the staff exam. I thought that the organization that gave us the questions
01:20:28also gave the questions to other people like us and helped them pass the staff exam.
01:20:32After the July 15 coup attempt, 90% of those who were trainees in the same period as me
01:20:35were dismissed.
01:21:07For this reason, I think that 90% of those who came to the course
01:21:11were FETO members. The FETO terrorist
01:21:14also explained how they prepared
01:21:18for the July 15 coup attempt. We went to the brother's house in Bahçeli Evler.
01:21:21There, the responsible brother told us that an important activity
01:21:25would take place soon. He said that Şükrü Seymen would be our commander,
01:21:28that we should obey his orders and instructions,
01:21:31that we should not tell anyone, including our wives, about this,
01:21:35and that we should not take our phones with us. I learned here that Şükrü Seymen
01:21:39was from FETO. The terrorist Karatepe said that
01:21:42he was involved in the assassination attempt in Istanbul.
01:21:45He explained how they went to Izmir by helicopter,
01:21:48and from there to Marmaris with weapons and ammunition.
01:21:51We landed at Çile Military Air Base. When we landed,
01:21:54the area where Maklim was located was also ready.
01:21:57Here, General Gökhan Şahin Sönmez Ateş also joined us.
01:22:00First, Şükrü Seymen asked us if there was anyone among us who was not from the Hizmet movement.
01:22:03No one said otherwise. They told us that the army had carried out
01:22:06a coup within the chain of command regarding the activity to be carried out.
01:22:09In this context, we were also told
01:22:12to take the President and deliver him to the designated place.
01:22:16He was trying to reach Gökhan Şahin Sönmezateş and other people through his phone,
01:22:19but he couldn't reach them. At this point,
01:22:23we understood that the coup had failed. The FETO terrorist gave conflicting statements
01:22:26regarding the large amount of gold and money found when he was caught.
01:22:30It is being investigated how the terrorist Karatepe
01:22:34hid for 10 years and with whom he was in contact. Yes,
01:23:07in the meantime, we will talk about the Ahbap association investigation.
01:23:11Because the investigation is ongoing. MASAK
01:23:14put the association's bank accounts under scrutiny
01:23:17and prepared a report. The report highlighted that
01:23:20the money transfers amounted to millions.
01:23:24It was emphasized that those who helped with good intentions
01:23:28were victims of the crime.
01:23:29In the investigation,
01:23:37it is being investigated to which individuals and companies
01:23:40the donations made by famous names were transferred
01:23:44and whether they were used for purposes other than their intended purpose.
01:23:47The bank accounts of the Ahbap association
01:23:50are under scrutiny. MASAK
01:23:53prepared a report regarding the high-value aid
01:23:57carried out in 2023 and afterwards.
01:24:01According to the report, many singers, actors,
01:24:04presenters,
01:24:09and content producers made high-value payments to the association.
01:24:13The list included 38 names. According to the records,
01:24:17Ajda Pekkan, Barış Arduç, Ebru Şahin, Tarkan Tevetoğlu,
01:24:20Sibel Can, and Nevzat Aydın each sent one million liras
01:24:23to the Ahbap association. According to the list,
01:24:27Ali Atay
01:24:29donated 562,386 liras
01:24:33to Ahbap. It was determined that
01:24:36singer Ebru Gündeş, chef Somer Sivrioğlu,
01:24:39and artist Genco Erkal each sent 500,000 liras.
01:24:43Halit Ergenç is recorded to have donated
01:24:47a total of 400,000 liras in two separate transactions.
01:24:50It was stated that the payment made by Hasan Cankaya
01:24:54was 320,000 liras. In the transfer descriptions,
01:24:57it was reported that terms such as
01:25:01"donation," "earthquake aid," or similar expressions
01:25:04were found. In the investigation,
01:25:07it will be investigated whether receipts were issued
01:25:10in the name of the donors and whether the money
01:25:14was used for the stated aid activities.
01:25:17If it is determined that the donations
01:25:20were used for purposes other than their intended purpose,
01:25:23the donors will be victims
01:25:26of the said act. Therefore,
01:25:29the investigation is being carried out meticulously.
01:25:32It is being investigated to which individuals and companies
01:25:35the donations were transferred in later stages
01:25:38and for what purpose they were used. Bank statements,
01:25:42donation receipts, association accounting records,
01:25:45and expense documents are being examined.
01:25:48The connections of transfers made from accounts
01:25:51registered in the name of companies or third parties
01:25:54with the real donors are being investigated.
01:25:58And now, we continue our bulletin
01:26:01with another investigation
01:26:03that all of Turkey
01:26:07is closely following. New details have emerged
01:26:10in the investigation into the disappearance of Gülistan Doku
01:26:14in Tunceli in 2020. The hospital barcode, prescription,
01:26:18and paper fragments said to have been found
01:26:21at a depth of 14 meters in the Uzunçayır Dam
01:26:24raised suspicions. An expert stated that
01:26:28the papers could not have reached a depth of 14 meters
01:26:32and that it would not be possible for them to remain intact.
01:26:35Two of the three diver police officers detained in the fourth wave operation
01:26:38were arrested on charges of tampering with evidence.
01:26:42The Gülistan Doku investigation is being carried out meticulously.
01:26:44In the investigation
01:26:49carried out by the Tunceli and Erzurum Chief Public Prosecutor's Offices,
01:26:5319 suspects were detained
01:26:57in the last wave operation. 12 of the suspects
01:27:00were arrested.
01:27:02Two of the arrested suspects
01:27:05were police divers. Scissors, hospital barcodes,
01:27:08prescriptions, and paper fragments were found
01:27:12in the Uzunçayır Dam, where Gülistan Doku had been searched for days,
01:27:15on January 8 and 10, 2020. These evidences,
01:27:19found 14 meters underwater and recorded in a report,
01:27:23were deemed suspicious
01:27:23by the prosecutor's office.
01:27:27The expert stated that the writings on the papers
01:27:30had not faded and that it was not possible
01:27:34for the papers to have reached a depth of 14 meters.
01:27:37Due to these paper fragments, which were assessed
01:27:40to have been placed in the area later, three diver police officers
01:27:44were referred to court with a request for their arrest
01:27:47on charges of tampering with evidence.
01:27:50Two diver police officers were arrested, while one was released
01:27:54under judicial control. A total of 28 people
01:27:57are under arrest
01:28:10within the scope of the investigation. Among the arrested
01:28:14are the former Governor of Tunceli, Tuncay Sonel,
01:28:17and his wife and son. And now,
01:28:20we will talk about the weather. Turkey has been affected
01:28:23by desert heat.
01:28:28Of course, when it comes with humidity,
01:28:31the perceived temperature increases.
01:28:32flocked to shaded Those who are overwhelmed by the heat
01:28:40and cool areas.
01:28:40Desert heat was effective
01:28:47in many parts of the country. Parks and gardens in Maraş,
01:28:50overwhelmed by the heat and humidity, remained desolate
01:28:52due to the scorching heat.
01:28:56The weather is very hot, brother, parks are very hot,
01:28:59children can't come, can't play,
01:29:03can't sleep at night. Even if it's hot here,
01:29:06it's windy,
01:29:09houses are hotter, we take a breath here.
01:29:12Another city where the desert heat
01:29:15made its effect was Osmaniye.
01:29:19With the effect of 67% humidity, the perceived air temperature in Osmaniye
01:29:22exceeded 40 degrees.
01:29:26During the hours when the heat was most intense,
01:29:29streets and roads fell silent.
01:29:35Those who went out
01:29:36tried to cool off in the shade. If I stayed at home,
01:29:40I wouldn't go out. I came out here,
01:29:44it's breezy here. It's very hot,
01:29:47I'm throwing myself outside,
01:29:49what can I do? In Antalya,
01:29:53with the humidity reaching 85%, the perceived temperature
01:29:56reached 40 degrees. Those overwhelmed by the heat
01:30:00preferred the beaches. In Adıyaman,
01:30:03where the air temperature
01:30:04was above 40 degrees,
01:30:07an air conditioning system was installed in the sports center.
01:30:10My friends didn't prefer it in summer, and as a result of a good R&D study
01:30:14with my friends, we installed
01:30:17what we call the air conditioning system
01:30:19here.
01:31:03increases even more. So, how long
01:31:07will these oppressive heats continue?
01:31:10We have a very valuable guest, climatologist
01:31:14Professor Doctor Barbaros Gönençgil
01:31:16is our guest on the broadcast.
01:31:18I want to turn to him immediately. Mr. Gönençgil,
01:31:22welcome to our broadcast. Thank you, good evening.
01:31:25Thank you very much. As I just mentioned,
01:31:29summer came late, but in recent days,
01:31:32the longing for cool weather has also increased considerably.
01:31:36We are facing oppressive heat.
01:31:39So, how long will the heatwave be effective?
01:31:43We are actually experiencing seasonal normals, at least in terms of pressure conditions,
01:31:47to some extent, because especially at the beginning of August,
01:31:50as the old people know very well, a hot period called "eyan bavur" begins,
01:31:54and we are in it. There are high-pressure conditions
01:31:58effective over Turkey, and consequently,
01:32:02hot weather is affecting our country.
01:32:04Of course, these are much more effective
01:32:08in urban life, and they are becoming even more effective,
01:32:11because with increasing urbanization, this process becomes
01:32:15more scorching or searing especially in cities.
01:32:18I would like to add that we talk about the perceived temperature,
01:32:21and this is really important, we talk about humidity and temperature together,
01:32:25but there is one more thing here, which is the wind.
01:32:28Lack of wind is also a factor
01:32:32that significantly increases the perceived temperature,
01:32:36so the perceived temperature should be considered over three elements:
01:32:39temperature, humidity, and wind,
01:32:41because windless days can result in higher
01:32:45perceived temperatures. Generally,
01:32:49when we look at it, Turkey is currently
01:32:52under these conditions. So, we are also curious about this.
01:32:55You actually drew a general framework, but we are especially curious about the weekend.
01:32:59What kind of weather is expected throughout the country?
01:33:03We can start with the megacity of Istanbul,
01:33:06the capital Ankara, and Izmir.
01:33:10Yes. It is possible to continue
01:33:13as follows: under these general conditions,
01:33:17the effects will be different in different geographical regions of Turkey,
01:33:20which is very normal, because there are different climate types
01:33:24in different geographical regions of Turkey. Especially Central Anatolia,
01:33:27Eastern Anatolia, or rather, Southeastern Anatolia,
01:33:30will experience temperatures above 40 degrees this weekend,
01:33:33it seems. A clear sky,
01:33:36because when the week is windless,
01:33:39the perceived temperature will be quite high.
01:33:42On the other hand, temperatures will be high
01:33:46in the three major cities as well, it seems.
01:33:49When we come to Istanbul, we need to pay attention to noon temperatures
01:33:53that can reach around 35-34 degrees. Izmir is higher,
01:33:55we are talking about a temperature that can reach 40 degrees.
01:33:59Ankara, of course,
01:34:03within the continental effects, will again see 34-35 degrees
01:34:06this weekend, it seems. Only in the east of Eastern Black Sea
01:34:09and its high parts, scattered showers may occur
01:34:13with the effect of high temperature, but this is only related to
01:34:17the local conditions at that moment. However,
01:34:21most of Turkey is clear
01:34:23and a bit windy, especially in Marmara
01:34:26and the Aegean. Yes.
01:34:29So, can we say this? We had rainy days for a few days
01:34:33last week and cooled down a little,
01:34:37but as far as I understand, there is no expectation of rain
01:34:40throughout the country in the coming weeks, right?
01:34:44Not for these days, and not for the next few days either.
01:34:47Probably these hot conditions will continue largely
01:34:51until mid-August. From the second half of August,
01:34:54as pressure systems start to change, we may occasionally see
01:34:56more effective rains
01:34:59or cooler weather, but currently,
01:35:03at least for the weekend, it is clear,
01:35:06and after that, high temperatures
01:35:09will continue during the week. So, for these few days
01:35:13or this period,
01:35:15we don't expect much rain. Well,
01:35:19you said that the heat will continue. As a climatologist,
01:35:22what can we do to protect ourselves from the heat
01:35:26or, we can say,
01:35:29to be less affected by it? You touched on a very important point indeed.
01:35:32First of all, high temperatures,
01:35:36especially when they continue towards extremes and turn into a heatwave,
01:35:40become a very serious problem for the elderly,
01:35:43children, and especially patients
01:35:46with chronic diseases. Therefore,
01:35:50it is necessary not to go out
01:35:54between 11:00 and 16:00, when the temperature is high,
01:35:57unless it is necessary. If you do go out,
01:36:01light-colored clothes should definitely be preferred.
01:36:04It is essential to increase water consumption,
01:36:08because this is an important factor. Therefore,
01:36:11some of our citizens have to go out
01:36:15due to work, but it is best
01:36:19to choose a time period away from the sun
01:36:23as much as possible, and not to go out
01:36:26if it is not necessary. Evening hours
01:36:30can be a little calmer. On the other hand,
01:36:33it is not only the heat, but also when it meets with humidity,
01:36:37it can become a serious problem for chronic diseases.
01:36:39Therefore, these two issues are important.
01:36:43Especially, it is necessary
01:36:46not to go out between 11:00 and 16:00
01:36:49and to consume plenty of fluids. Yes,
01:36:52now lastly, we are curious about air conditioner usage.
01:36:56It is very hot now, and we want to use air conditioners,
01:36:59but on the one hand, we are afraid that we might get sick.
01:37:02Do you have any recommendations regarding air conditioner usage,
01:37:06especially in this hot weather and in cars specifically,
01:37:10because in cars, it directly contacts
01:37:14and it's a more enclosed, smaller space?
01:37:17I would like to ask about air conditioners again. You are right.
01:37:21It can indeed lead to illnesses for both cars
01:37:25and homes. Not operating it at very high settings,
01:37:28and not being directly exposed is very important.
01:37:31It might be possible to do this at home,
01:37:48colds and serious illnesses during
01:37:51summer heat. We need it,
01:37:54yes, because the situation of the streets
01:37:58is obvious. We probably need these
01:38:02to be able to stay indoors, but let's not stand in front of it,
01:38:05at least, and let's cool it down relatively,
01:38:08instead of turning it up high to cool it down immediately.
01:38:35and when we get into the car, we immediately turn on the air conditioner
01:38:38at a very high setting, which can also make us sick,
01:38:41so we need to be extremely careful. Thank you very much
01:38:45for your valuable comments. You're welcome.
01:38:48I'd like to add this, especially regarding cars.
01:38:51When we get in, we turn it on,
01:38:54yes, but it's also useful to open the windows first,
01:38:57to let the air inside go out, and then close the windows
01:39:00and operate it at a lower level. This is important
01:39:04both economically and in terms of air quality,
01:39:08for the air to be breathable. It's useful to pay attention to this as well.
01:39:12Yes, you touched on a very important point.
01:39:15Thank you very much, have a good broadcast, goodbye.
01:39:17And now,
01:39:36that a violent explosion occurred near the Syrian capital, Damascus.

01:41:12opposes these talks. Direct talks
01:41:15with Israel are a disgrace,
01:41:17an humiliation. Israel continues to attack Lebanon
01:41:21despite the existing ceasefire. Four people were injured
01:41:25in an air attack on the city of Tyre
01:41:30in the south of the country. The United Nations announced

01:44:19in the strongest possible terms Israel's violations,
01:44:21including targeting health facilities
01:44:25and medical infrastructure, attacks on civilian infrastructure,
01:44:28and the continued loss of civilian lives, including women and children.

01:45:04the West Bank, and East Jerusalem
01:45:07are a systematic policy aimed at creating a fait accompli

01:45:47and the international community. to be the voice of Gaza, which has been subjected to
01:45:51persecution and genocide for years, to
01:45:54break this blockade, and to take a step

01:56:58of Culture and Tourism made
01:56:59children experience unforgettable moments at the Circumcision Feast, which it organized for the second time this year.
01:57:12every detail was
01:57:13carefully planned.
01:57:17we dressed our children in circumcision
01:57:20clothes, and then we took an Ankara
01:57:24city tour. After visiting the Aslarhane
01:57:27Mosque, which is on the UNESCO list, we visited
01:57:30the tomb of Hacı Bayram Veli, the spiritual architect of Ankara,
01:57:35and then we prayed
01:57:39there with our children and came here
01:57:42today with our circumcision convoy, which created
01:57:45a visual feast in Ankara today.
01:57:48At the feast, the children enjoyed

01:58:02our state, we were very happy, they
01:58:06did everything necessary,
01:58:09they helped us a lot in every
01:58:12matter, thank you very much. "I

01:58:38Ladies and gentlemen, look, Osman Okutan
01:58:42from Rize and
01:58:43his three brothers
01:58:48wanted to build a house on the
01:58:52land inherited from their father. The brothers, who could
01:58:56not find a suitable place on the
01:58:59rugged terrain, naturally used the sharp
01:59:03intelligence of the Black Sea people
01:59:06and built a three-story house on
01:59:10two adjoining rock masses.
01:59:13The three-story building built on huge
01:59:17rock masses weighing tons. The images
01:59:20are from Ardeşen district of Rize.
01:59:24Because there is no landslide on the
01:59:27rock here. It is very solid.
01:59:30That's what the geological engineer says.
01:59:34Houses built on rocks do not
01:59:38have any problems. Osman Okutan returned
01:59:41to his ancestral home in Rize
01:59:45after retiring. The man who wanted
01:59:48to build a house in his village
01:59:52could not find a suitable place
01:59:56on the rugged terrain. Okutan decided
02:00:24It was on this stone you
02:00:28see, and we did not lose
02:00:32its feature. We poured concrete on
02:00:35it and built a construction. The
02:00:39ancestral home where I live, we say,
02:00:41is on the same rock, so
02:00:45we did not disturb its naturalness.
02:00:49Those who see
02:00:49the house, which
