00:01:56was also detained. Now, on the one hand,
00:02:00new developments are taking place regarding those money transfers,
00:02:03and on the other hand, detentions and arrests are also taking place

00:02:13businessman Nihat Kırmızı,
00:02:16Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Istanbul Topkapı University and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Doğa
00:02:19Sigorta, was also detained.
00:02:22Let's state that Kırmızı's procedures at the police department
00:02:26within the scope of the investigation are ongoing. As we said, the fund
00:02:29investigation is currently being expanded. While financial

00:02:47We have just shared the information that a businessman
00:02:50was arrested. I apologize, we shared the information that he was detained.
00:02:54On the one hand, the details regarding
00:02:58the money transfers in the fund investigation
00:03:01have also started to emerge. It was announced
00:03:05that 15 million dollars was transferred to an account in Switzerland

00:03:12and 25 million euros was transferred to an account
00:03:16in Switzerland from the account of Muhammet Yazıcı,
00:03:19Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pusula Portfolio Management Inc.
00:03:22Now, what exactly was it? If you

00:03:30offered, and currently, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office
00:03:33took sudden money outflows and increases
00:03:37in publicly offered companies
00:03:40under investigation. And after that, detentions

00:03:46And today, a detailed report was requested from MASAK,
00:03:50and in the report, the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office
00:03:53sent a letter requesting the identification
00:03:57information of all executives of Pusula Finance Holding,
00:04:00Tera Investment Securities, Hedef Holding, and Bus Investment Securities

00:04:07the money and crypto asset movements of the executives.
00:04:10The money and crypto asset
00:04:14transfers made abroad by the determined executives
00:04:17since 2024 will be investigated.
00:04:20All money inflows and outflows were requested to be sent

00:04:27investigation also includes the primary relatives of 4 fund managers.

00:04:39crypto assets? All these will be determined.
00:04:43In the report to be prepared by MASAK,
00:04:46it will be investigated whether money and crypto assets
00:04:49were transferred abroad directly by the executives
00:04:52or through their relatives, based on financial
00:04:55data. The said information
00:04:58was requested to be sent to the prosecution
00:05:01urgently by MASAK. The data to be received
00:05:05from MASAK will reveal the domestic and foreign financial movements

00:05:24Finally, we would like to state that businessman Nihat Kırmızı

00:11:58Voters in Germany went to the polls today
00:12:01in the states of Berlin and Mecklenburg Vorpommern, dear viewers.
00:12:05What are the first results according to exit polls?
00:12:08We will get the first statements. For details, we are turning
00:12:11our cameras to Germany, to Berlin, the capital of Germany.
00:12:14Our friend Ramazan Aktaş from the TRT News team is in front of us.
00:12:17What notes do you have regarding the first results? Today, Berlin hosted
00:12:21a very important election. What will you tell us there?
00:12:28"Sezen, last week we shared the election results of Saxony-Anhalt.
00:12:32The far-right party AFD received 44% of the votes,
00:12:35and this was described as the biggest step in Germany
00:12:39after World War II in 1945 for a far-right party
00:12:42to become the prime minister in a state. Of course, there was a question mark
00:12:45in the public whether a similar situation would occur in other states,
00:12:49and we can say that it did. We see that the far-left
00:12:53party is leading in Berlin. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
00:12:56the far-right party AFD is in the first place.
00:13:00If we talk in numbers, we received the current numbers two minutes ago.
00:13:04In Berlin, the Christian Democratic Party lost 8.2% of its votes
00:13:07and fell to 20%. While the far-left party
00:13:10rose to 24.8% with a 12.6% increase
00:13:13in votes, AFD increased
00:13:17its votes to 15.7%.
00:13:20The Social Democratic Party lost 6.4% of its votes
00:13:23and fell to 12%. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
00:13:27there is a very interesting situation. While the far-left is leading in Berlin,
00:13:30the far-right party is leading in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
00:13:34AFD increased its votes by 20.6%
00:13:37to 37.1%. The Christian Democrats
00:13:41lost 8% of their votes and fell to 5.3%.
00:13:44We said in our broadcast an hour ago that they were above the 5%
00:13:48threshold, we said 5.5%, but as of now, they have fallen to 5.3%.
00:13:51So, will the Christian Democrats fall below the threshold
00:13:55in the coming hours? This is also a question mark. The Social Democratic Party
00:13:59lost 4.1% of its votes and fell to 35.5%. Of course, there are also polls
00:14:03for other states. There are elections in the coming months. We see
00:14:06that AFD has reached 42% in Saxony.
00:14:10It is at 40% in Thuringia and 37% in Brandenburg.
00:14:13Prime Minister Friedrich Merz made a statement
00:14:16in the past hour. He said, "We will continue
00:14:19to implement our reforms with courage. I am
00:14:23in charge." But when we observe and follow
00:14:26public broadcasters and experts,
00:14:30the comment comes that Friedrich Merz may resign
00:14:33in the coming hours. Let us remind you
00:14:36that in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, they appear to be only 0.3
00:14:40points above the threshold. We will continue to report on the German elections
00:14:43with the difference of TRT News, Sezen.
00:14:48US President Donald Trump said he was
00:14:52entering a decision-making phase regarding Iran. He said,
00:14:55"Big developments are on the way." The American president
00:14:59also signaled that he was open to meeting with Iranian President
00:15:02Pezeshkian at the United Nations
00:15:03General Assembly to be held this week.
00:15:08As the Iran war continues, all eyes are on New York this week.
00:15:12US President Donald Trump made statements regarding
00:15:15Iran to Fox News. He warned that significant
00:15:19developments would occur
00:15:21if Tehran did not change its stance.
00:15:24My question is, "When and how will I blow
00:15:27up the whole country? They better behave."
00:15:30Trump also said that the current
00:15:33options were to completely destroy the country, abandon it economically,
00:15:41or "a critical decision-making stage has been entered
00:15:44in the ongoing war with Iran. Big things will happen
00:15:48in the not-too-distant future. I am in the decision-making
00:15:51stage." Trump stated that he would probably
00:15:55be open to meeting with Iranian President Mesla. He expressed his willingness
00:15:58to establish diplomatic contact.
00:16:02Trump also said that contacts with the Houthis in Yemen
00:16:05were continuing.
00:16:07He stated that he was in communication with Washington
00:16:11after the ballistic missile attacks targeting Habistan. He claimed
00:16:14that the group agreed
00:16:16to avoid fighting with American forces.
00:16:20Genocidal Israel violates the ceasefire.
00:16:24It continues its attacks on Gaza. In the latest attacks, three Palestinians, including
00:16:28two children, were injured. Due to the electricity crisis
00:16:31in Gaza, health services have completely come to a standstill.
00:16:35The murderous Israel's attacks in the occupied West Bank
00:16:38do not end.
00:16:43Genocidal Israel attacks Gaza despite the ceasefire.
00:16:47Murderous Israeli elements opened fire on Palestinians
00:16:50in southern Gaza. Three people, including
00:16:53two children, were injured.
00:16:57Due to Israel's blockade, Gaza is also experiencing
00:17:00a fuel crisis. Health services, which were heavily
00:17:04damaged in the attacks and are trying to stand
00:17:12on their own with generators due to lack of electricity,
00:17:16are not working because some of the generators lack oil
00:17:19and spare parts. Their decommissioning will lead
00:17:23to the cessation of many health services
00:17:24provided in hospitals.
00:17:27Thousands of people will be deprived of these services. Murderous Israel continues
00:17:31its attacks in the occupied West Bank.
00:17:34Israeli elements killed a Palestinian
00:17:39in the city of Jenin. Israelis, who usurped Palestinian
00:17:42lands, added a new violation to their violations
00:17:46against Al-Aqsa Mosque, the first Qibla of Muslims.
00:17:49In the early hours of the morning, many invading Israeli
00:17:52elements were able to enter Al-Aqsa
00:17:56under protection. In Italy, reactions
00:18:00to the genocidal Israel's genocide in Gaza escalated.
00:18:03A giant shroud with the names of the murdered
00:18:08Palestinian children was carried in the streets of Sicily. A memorial ceremony was also
00:18:12held for more than 20,000 children who lost their lives.
00:18:17Genocidal Israel killed more than 20,000 children in Gaza.
00:18:21The names of those murdered children were written
00:18:24on a 30-meter long shroud. The shroud was carried in the streets
00:18:28of Sicily, Italy.
00:18:32The killing of Palestinian children was protested in the town of Shaka.
00:18:35Associations, students, and many people
00:18:38participated in the march.
00:18:42After the march, the shroud with the names
00:18:45of the Palestinian children was taken to the courtyard of the municipality.
00:18:49A ceremony was held for thousands of children
00:18:52who lost their lives in the attacks.
00:18:54It was stated that the shroud traveled
00:18:58to different regions of Italy. The Russia-Ukraine war
00:19:01claimed that leaders were preparing for war with Russia.
00:19:05The Slovak Prime Minister said that some Western politicians
00:19:09want war between Russia and NATO. Switzerland
00:19:12approved its new security strategy
00:19:16against the Russia-Ukraine
00:19:22war and increasing hybrid threats. As tensions escalated
00:19:25between Russia and the West, Russian President Vladimir Putin
00:19:28sent noteworthy messages to Europe. Some European leaders
00:19:32openly declare that they are preparing
00:19:35for war with Russia.
00:20:07He said that some Western politicians wanted
00:20:11a war between Russia
00:20:12and NATO by adding fuel to the fire. Some warmongers
00:20:16in NATO are doing everything they can to turn
00:20:20this war into a conflict between Russia
00:20:23and NATO, at all costs.
00:20:27The Slovak Prime Minister claimed that anti-Russian rhetoric
00:20:31in Europe was being used to cover up political
00:20:34inefficiency.
00:20:37Switzerland, on the other hand, announced its new security
00:20:41strategy with an emphasis on the Russia-Ukraine War.
00:20:44It was stated that the international security situation
00:20:47is becoming increasingly unstable.
00:20:50The detail of Turkey in Switzerland's
00:20:53new security strategy also attracted attention.
00:20:57Turkey, along with Brazil, India, and Saudi Arabia,
00:21:00was included in the category of regional powers.

00:23:36new information and statements from the suspects emerged.
00:23:40According to the statements, the owner of the fraudulent
00:23:43company on paper was a Turk, but
00:23:47it was actually Israeli citizens.

00:23:54except in the kitchen. The de facto owner of the company
00:23:57was Emit Yegal, an Israeli. The official
00:24:01boss was İlhami için. Maxim Verzilov was
00:24:05the second biggest boss after Yegal.

00:24:44The data obtained in the investigation, suspect statements, MASAK data,
00:24:48and seized digital
00:25:00materials are being examined together. Money transfers,
00:25:03hierarchical ties between foreign managers, and the roles
00:25:07of Israeli-linked individuals in the companies
00:25:09are also under scrutiny. So far, 203 suspects
00:25:12have been detained within the scope of the investigation.
00:25:1511 Israeli citizens were identified among
00:25:17the 47 suspects from 20 countries.
00:25:27The investigation into the suspicious death of former MIT

00:26:12evidence. The other three suspects in custody
00:26:15are expected to be referred to the courthouse
00:26:18after their statements. Earlier, 6 suspects
00:26:22were arrested
00:26:24within the scope of the investigation.

00:28:36The file of Ayşegül Yaşar, who disappeared in Düziçi district
00:28:39of Osmaniye, was re-examined comprehensively.
00:28:43Phone and camera records, witness statements, and
00:28:46criminal examinations were evaluated together.
00:28:48Biological findings were detected in the vehicle used by the identified
00:28:52suspect on the day of the incident. It was determined
00:28:56that the findings were compatible with samples taken from Ayşegül Yaşar's
00:28:59parents. The studies
00:29:02were deepened.
00:29:06Along with the murder suspect, the suspect's parents were also

00:31:28and all the areas it feeds from. The terror
00:31:31organization is being liquidated. No sentence
00:31:34is applied without weapons being laid down.
00:31:37The state is not retreating.
00:31:41The state is cleaning up whatever
00:31:44is left of the scourge of terror that has been shedding
00:31:47our nation's blood for 50 years. This is Turkey's
00:31:49new era. Alpaslan Doğan,
00:31:53who entered the congress as the sole candidate, was re-elected
00:31:57as MHP Ankara Provincial Chairman. The new week
00:31:59will be busy for the CHP. On Thursday, the MYK

00:33:59After the 3-day camp, the CHP will finalize
00:34:03its work program for the new legislative year.
00:34:06Excessive speed, carelessness, and rule violations
00:34:09caused traffic accidents. In accidents that occurred
00:34:13in the country, one person died and 11 people were injured.
00:34:17In Hatay, a motorcycle collided with a light commercial
00:34:21vehicle coming from the opposite
00:34:24direction. The seriously injured motorcycle driver
00:34:28was taken to the hospital, but despite all interventions,
00:34:32the driver lost his life. On the Hatay Reyhanlı Antakya
00:34:35Highway, a motorcyclist hit a truck that was stopped
00:34:38in the emergency lane from behind.
00:34:45The driver of the motorcycle, which was thrown by the impact,
00:34:48was seriously injured. It was reported that the injured person,
00:34:52who was taken to the hospital
00:34:53after initial intervention,
00:35:00was in critical condition. In Adana, a mother
00:35:03who was taking her two children to school on a motorcycle
00:35:07was hit by a three-wheeled
00:35:07motorcycle driven by a 16-year-old
00:35:15unlicensed girl. The mother was injured in the accident,
00:35:19and her children also experienced great fear. The accident moment
00:39:25to me actually, I love anchovies but my husband
00:39:29loves bonito, so it will probably
00:39:32be his choice today, we will buy bonito
00:39:35on weekdays and weekends, we buy it two
00:39:39or three times a week.
00:39:39Sellers are happy
00:39:44that the season started well. It's 250 lira,
00:39:47it continues the same way, 300 l for sadder
00:39:50and 200 lira for sales continues. There are sea
00:39:53breams and sea basses, fish that are always available.
00:39:58We are giving it to citizens
00:40:00for 200 lira. Currently,
00:40:02the most popular fish with a 90% share
00:40:06is bonito. The abundance of bonito
00:40:10continues in the sea. In Istanbul, the most
00:40:12sold fish in August
00:40:15was bonito with approximately 156 tons. Horse mackerel,
00:40:18sea bream, and sardine are also among the most
00:40:21preferred fish. They say this season is the bonito
00:40:24season. I bought bonito last time and it was very
00:40:28good. It was really fresh. We love fish. We started
00:40:32with bonito, and it started to get more delicious
00:40:34slowly. For me,
00:40:37the best option is bonito. With the change of seasons
00:40:40and the opening of schools, viruses have become active.
00:40:44In recent weeks,
00:40:45an increase in flu cases
00:40:50has been observed. Experts warn those over 65
00:40:52and those with chronic illnesses. It is noted
00:40:56that the ideal time for vaccination is now.
00:41:00With the arrival of autumn, the weather suddenly got cold.
00:41:03The number of people applying to hospitals
00:41:07with flu symptoms increased.
00:41:12In patients over 65, in individuals with chronic
00:41:15illnesses, in people in high-risk groups,
00:41:18we see more flu infections.
00:41:21Experts especially
00:41:24emphasize that patients in risk groups such
00:41:27as heart, asthma, and diabetes should be vaccinated.
00:41:31So, when is the right time for the flu vaccine?
00:41:34We especially want these people to be vaccinated,
00:41:38because they can come
00:41:46to us with more severe infections. October and November are the ideal
00:41:50time for vaccination before the disease
00:41:53peaks. Individuals in high-risk
00:41:57groups can access their vaccines
00:41:59free of charge
00:42:04by applying to their family doctors.
00:42:08The viruses that cause the vaccine vary
00:42:11every year. Having been vaccinated in previous years
00:42:15or having had the flu does not mean that there
00:42:18is no need to be vaccinated this year.
00:42:22Temperatures, which will be around seasonal
00:42:25norms at the beginning of the week, are expected
00:42:28to drop starting from northern regions
00:42:31from Tuesday. In the middle of the week,
00:42:35cold weather will also
00:42:36increase its effect
00:42:41in the interior and western parts. In Ankara, Istanbul,
00:42:44and Izmir, cool weather will be effective
00:42:47from the middle of the week. Temperatures will drop
00:42:50in the new week.
00:42:51Rainy weather will increase
00:42:57its effect in some regions. Meteorology
00:43:00shared the expected temperature forecasts
00:43:04for the new week. Temperatures, which will
00:43:06be around seasonal
00:43:10norms at the beginning of the week, are expected
00:43:13to drop starting from northern regions
00:43:16from Tuesday. From the middle of the week,
00:43:19cold weather will also increase its effect
00:43:22in the interior and western regions.
00:43:25Rainy weather will continue to be effective
00:43:29in some regions. At the beginning of the week,
00:43:32especially in the northeast of the country,
00:43:35thunderstorms will be effective locally in the Black Sea
00:43:39and the northern parts of Eastern Anatolia
00:43:43throughout the week. So, how will the temperatures
00:43:47be in the three major cities? In the capital
00:43:50Ankara, temperatures, which will be around
00:43:5324-25 degrees at the beginning of the week,
00:43:57are expected to drop from the middle of the week.
00:44:00In Istanbul, partly
00:44:04cloudy weather will be effective throughout the week,
00:44:08and temperatures will be around 20-22 degrees.
00:44:11Izmir will start the week with an air temperature
00:44:14of 30-31 degrees.
00:44:19Temperatures are expected to drop to 25-27
00:44:22degrees from the middle of the week.
00:44:25In Sakarya, a neighborhood-based transformation project
00:44:28has been launched. A total of 109 buildings
00:44:31are being demolished in Tığcılar neighborhood.
00:44:35The renovated houses are expected to be delivered
00:44:38by 2028. In Sakarya, a city
00:44:42affected by the earthquake, urban transformation continues
00:44:46without slowing down. A new stage has been reached
00:44:50within the scope of the studies after the 1999
00:44:53Marmara earthquake. For the first time
00:44:56in the city, a neighborhood-based urban transformation project
00:45:00has been launched. The demolition of 109 buildings and 718
00:45:04independent units in Tığcıdar Neighborhood, Adapazarı
00:45:07district, by Sakarya Metropolitan Municipality has started.
00:45:11We have been experiencing the process you have been
00:45:14following for about 1.5 years. By meeting
00:45:17with our citizens one by one, gaining
00:45:21their approval, with the approval of our
00:45:24right holders, the agreement for 718 independent
00:45:27units has been completed
00:45:30with a 92% approval. The neighborhood has turned
00:45:34into a gigantic construction site.
00:45:37Our demolition tender is 3 months. Of course,
00:45:40we continue simultaneously during this period.
00:45:44Our goal is to complete these houses by 2028
00:45:46and deliver them to the right
00:45:49holders. We provide rent assistance, we provide
00:45:53relocation support. The project aims for citizens
00:45:57to live in safer structures.
00:46:0190 universities from Turkey entered the world
00:46:04rankings in at least
00:46:26were evaluated in the 2025-2026 World Field Ranking
00:46:30prepared by the ODTÜ URAP Research
00:46:33Laboratory. Universities were examined based
00:46:36on their academic performance over the last 5 years.
00:46:5290 universities from Turkey entered the world rankings
00:46:55in at least one scientific field. According to the research,
00:46:58Turkish universities ranked in 48 of 78
00:47:02scientific fields. The most ranked fields of Turkish
00:47:05universities were medicine, health sciences, and engineering
00:47:08departments. 82 Turkish universities ranked

00:47:15in engineering. 26 in biology, 24
00:47:19in technology, 19 in mathematics, 12
00:47:24in physics, and 12 universities in materials
00:47:28sciences entered the ranking.
00:47:29In the world university
00:47:34success ranking, Istanbul Technical University ranked
00:47:37in 28 scientific fields in Turkey.
00:47:41ITU was followed by Hacettepe University, ODTÜ, and
00:47:44Yıldız Technical University.
00:47:50ITU ranked 73rd in the world in polymer science.
00:47:53It ranked 139th in water resources, 141st
00:47:56in marine sciences, and 151st in civil engineering.
00:48:00ITU also ranked 223rd in artificial intelligence
00:48:02and 268th in robotics

00:48:18With the opening of schools, families are limiting
00:48:20their children's tablet
00:48:23and phone use, as they have been exposed to screens for a long time.
00:48:27Experts say that parents
00:48:33cutting screen time completely can cause
00:48:36a digital jetlag effect. They recommend
00:48:39a gradual reduction. Almost
00:48:43all my summer passed with my phone
00:48:45and tablet.
00:48:47I even continue to look at my phone
00:48:51when I'm sleepy. I give my phone
00:48:54in a controlled way for certain
00:48:58periods, it causes sleeplessness.
00:49:01Schools have opened,
00:49:03and a new era has begun
00:49:07in phone, tablet, and computer usage.
00:49:11So, how should children's sleep patterns
00:49:14and digital habits be regulated
00:49:18during this process? When schools start
00:49:21and families remove digital devices,
00:49:25experts state that cutting them off completely can create a digital
00:49:29jetlag effect.
00:49:34We observe that children experience anger outbursts,
00:49:38stress, and even family conflicts.
00:49:41We call this digital jetlag. When you completely
00:49:45switch off, they inevitably experience a period
00:49:49of confusion. Long screen times can also
00:49:53disrupt children's sleep patterns. During the summer
00:49:56holidays, sleep hours can inevitably change.
00:49:59Going to bed at 9 when they used to go
00:50:03to bed at 12 at night can cause problems
00:50:06with adapting to the biological clock
00:50:10and school adjustment. Experts recommend
00:50:14a gradual progression when re-establishing
00:50:16sleep patterns. A new step has been taken
00:50:20in artificial intelligence. A robot school in China
00:50:23graduated its first students. Four robots
00:50:27graduated after more than 2 months of training.
00:50:31They received their diplomas at a ceremony.
00:50:34A robot school in China graduated its first students.
00:50:37A graduation ceremony was held in Hangzhou
00:50:41city. Two guide robots, one inspection robot,
00:50:45and one piano-playing
00:50:48training lessons. In addition to basic
00:50:52skills, robots were also given specialized training
00:50:56according to their fields of work.
00:51:00Body optimization, positioning, and route
00:51:03planning are some of the common lessons for all
00:51:06robots. These are covered in general lessons. Specialization
00:51:10lessons, on the other hand,
00:51:16are specially prepared according to different
00:51:19needs and different application scenarios.
00:51:23Graduated robots will start their duties
00:51:26in various places. Two guide robots
00:51:30will work in the China Official Series Archive
00:51:33and the robot school. The inspection robot
00:51:35will be sent to the production
00:51:40workshop. The piano-playing robot will go
00:51:44to South Korea for entertainment shows.
00:51:47The insurance liability of those who employ
00:51:51domestic workers at home varies according
00:51:54to the number of days worked. While daily premiums
00:51:57are paid for those who work less than
00:52:0110 days a month, the scope expands
00:52:05for those who work 10 days or more.
00:52:08There are also rules that need to be paid
00:52:12attention to for foreign nationals, retirees,
00:52:15and relatives. So, what is the responsibility
00:52:19of the homeowner in case of a possible
00:52:22work accident? Let's look at the answer.
00:52:25It is a mandatory practice to get insurance
00:52:29for domestic workers, caregivers, and similar
00:52:31employees in household
00:52:35services. However, this liability varies
00:52:38according to the working period. Even if a person
00:52:42is a domestic worker, if you employ them
00:52:45for less than 10 days,
00:52:47you must log in through e-government
00:52:50and pay the insurance premium from the household
00:52:53services section. "It's not very expensive,
00:52:5722 lira per day. If they work
00:53:01less than 10 days as a domestic worker,
00:53:04you pay 22 TL. This only covers
00:53:07occupational accidents
00:53:08and occupational
00:53:12diseases. For work of 10 days or more,
00:53:16the scope of insurance expands,
00:53:19and the employee can benefit from health
00:53:22services and retirement rights. For foreign
00:53:26domestic workers,
00:53:27the 10-day limit
00:53:32does not apply. If they are foreign nationals,
00:53:36even if they work for one day here,
00:53:39you must pay insurance premiums, and here
00:53:42it's not 22 lira,
00:53:46you must pay long-term insurance premiums.
00:53:50The fact that the person called to the house
00:53:53as a domestic worker is the employer's
00:53:56relative or a retiree does not eliminate
00:53:59the insurance liability. processes will be
00:54:03a single-stop office model. It will also be activated for technological
00:54:06entrepreneurs. It will provide the opportunity to manage
00:54:10the establishment and operations of technology-based companies
00:54:13and their communication with public institutions,
00:54:16eliminating bureaucracy and managing all relationships with institutions
00:54:20from a single point and completing the processes.
00:54:22The regulations to be implemented will also
00:54:26pave the way for foreign technology entrepreneurs
00:54:28to establish companies faster in Turkey.
00:54:31This may also create an opportunity for foreign
00:54:35investors to come to Turkey, establish new ventures, and become
00:54:38an investment hub and entrepreneurship hub for foreign investors.
00:54:42Here, it will be possible to accelerate company formations and reach
00:54:46unicorn status quickly.
00:54:47provided.
00:59:47of former MIT officer Kaşif Kozinoğlu continues, dear
00:59:51viewers. We will discuss the latest details regarding
00:59:54the investigation. In the Alihan Kuriş criminal
00:59:57organization investigation, an arrest warrant was issued
01:00:00for 30 suspects, and trustees were appointed to 23
01:00:04companies. We will evaluate it. There are also important
01:00:07investigations in the capital markets. In the fund investigation,
01:00:10the scope of the financial review has been expanded.
01:00:14The international illegal Forex fraud investigation,
01:00:17managed by individuals connected to Israel,
01:00:20continues. We will look into it. In the second
01:00:24part, we will turn to external affairs. President
01:00:28Recep Tayyip Erdoğan went to the United States. Erdoğan
01:00:31will address the 81st United Nations General
01:00:34Assembly on September 22. We will discuss
01:00:37and table this topic.
01:01:18New developments have occurred within the scope of the fund
01:01:21investigation conducted, dear viewers. Businessperson Nihat
01:01:24Kırmızı, who is the chairman of the board of trustees
01:01:28of Istanbul Topkapı University and the chairman of the board
01:01:31of directors of Doğa Sigorta,
01:02:12Ferhat Murat, I would like to get your comment first.
01:02:15Yes, the money movements of publicly offered companies
01:02:17are being investigated, and it is being looked
01:02:21into whether there are transfers abroad.
01:02:24Along with this, MASAK is preparing
01:02:28a report, and financial
01:02:30movements are being examined. What is actually happening
01:02:34in terms of fund movements, what are the problem
01:02:37areas, what is the current issue? First,
01:02:41if you wish, let's give some information to our viewers, let's
01:02:44summarize it, and then comment on the latest
01:02:47development. Now, essentially,
01:02:50there are 2038 funds managed by portfolio
01:02:54management companies in Turkey. Out
01:02:57of these funds, 131 have been
01:03:00liquidated. 131 fund accounts belonging
01:03:04to 7 companies, 7 portfolio management companies,
01:03:08have been liquidated, and we see the liquidation process,
01:03:11but if we try to explain what this actually is
01:03:14in a very clear way, what is a fund? Portfolio
01:03:18management companies create a pool on behalf of
01:03:21their clients, claiming that they manage
01:03:24the stock market and finance better. Investors,
01:03:28whether small investors or qualified investors, make
01:03:31stock purchases of certain companies on the stock
01:03:34market through these funds by investing their
01:03:38money, and they strive to earn income or profit
01:03:41from this. Why are
01:03:44we facing this situation? When you ask this question,
01:03:48we can say this: some fund companies, of course,
01:03:51this will become clearer as a result of the prosecutor's
01:03:55in-depth investigation. Because we are facing
01:03:58a situation where manipulating
01:04:00the stock market, making companies appear
01:04:04more valuable than they are, and conducting intense
01:04:08buying and selling of shares leads to unbalanced
01:04:12prices, a process
01:04:15has been initiated by the CMB to eliminate
01:04:18these manipulations. Let me give you an example.
01:04:22For example, one of the 7 companies
01:04:25currently, Terra investment, a company
01:04:28within its structure, is being publicly
01:04:31offered. Let's not name it since the investigation
01:04:35is ongoing, but when we look
01:04:38at it, after the public offering, we are faced
01:04:42with a value increase of between
01:04:454,800% and 7,200%, in a very short
01:04:48period of time. When we go into the details
01:04:52of these companies, for example, Turkish Airlines
01:04:55is also a company traded on the stock
01:04:58exchange, but it is a company that
01:05:02can show you the equivalent of that value,
01:05:06with more than 500 planes. However, the fact
01:05:09that companies with 130-100 employees face
01:05:11an intense valuation after going public currently
01:05:15intensifies the question marks. At this point,
01:05:19the CMB issued an evaluation,
01:05:22or rather, a bulletin, at the end
01:05:25of last August, and there it said to
01:05:28the fund companies, "Conduct your activities
01:05:32in these areas with a certain discipline in the coming
01:05:36period." Of course, some fund companies
01:05:38defaulting led to a chain
01:05:42reaction. This process, which started with
01:05:44the detention of Muhammet Yarız, Chairman
01:05:48of the Board of Directors of Pusula Portfolio Management,
01:05:51then continued with Serdar Turhan, Chairman of the Board
01:05:54of Directors of Pusula Holding, and Emre Tezmen,
01:05:58Chairman of the Board of
01:06:00Directors of Tera Holding. and now it continues with different
01:06:04names. There is an interesting development that emerged
01:06:07today, of course, the prosecutor's office requested a report
01:06:10from MASAK. What was in this report request?
01:06:13Yes, a report on the personal bank
01:06:17movements of the fund company managers was requested,
01:06:21and an interesting point emerged there. It was stated
01:06:24in the MASAK reports that Serdar Turhan, Chairman
01:06:27of the Board of Directors of Pusula Holding, sent
01:06:3115 million dollars to an account in Switzerland, and Muhammet
01:06:34Yarız, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sula
01:06:37Portfolio, sent 25 million
01:06:55The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office had
01:06:58put the unusual rise in company shares after
01:07:01the IPO under scrutiny, and there were detentions,
01:07:04arrests, and reports requested from
01:07:08MASAK during the investigation process. Now, we announced
01:07:11the detention news at these hours yesterday. There
01:07:15is a new development. An arrest warrant was also
01:07:18issued for Nihat Kırmızı. He was detained. Within
01:07:21the scope of the fund investigation conducted by the Istanbul
01:07:25Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, businessperson
01:07:29Nihat Kırmızı, who is the chairman of the board
01:07:32of trustees of Istanbul Topkapı University and the
01:07:35chairman of the board of directors of Doğa Sigorta, was detained.
01:07:39Let's also state that Kırmızı's procedures at the police
01:07:43department are continuing within the scope of the investigation.
01:07:47As we said, since the beginning of this investigation,
01:07:50detention and arrest decisions have come one after
01:07:54another. In fact, within the scope of the investigation,
01:07:57five more suspects, including the chairmen and managers
01:08:00of two holdings, were detained. So far, 4 suspects have
01:08:04been arrested, and a travel ban and asset freeze
01:08:08were decided for 51 people. Of course,
01:08:11the investigation is deepening at the moment. As
01:08:14you said, I was also listening to the conversation
01:08:18with your guest from that point. The Istanbul
01:08:21Chief Public Prosecutor's Office had addressed
01:08:24the sudden rise in companies that went public.
01:08:28When we look at it, a company worth
01:08:3115 million suddenly rose to 1.3 trillion.
01:08:34There were abnormal increases.
01:08:38The chief prosecutor also asked about these
01:08:41moneys from the names detained and arrested
01:08:44within the scope of the investigation. And
01:08:48when these moneys were asked, the answers given
01:08:51were indeed "abnormal". Let's state that
01:08:55the unusual money increase in companies was also
01:08:58asked to these individuals one by one. As
01:09:02a last-minute development, a new development occurred
01:09:05in the fund investigation. Nihat Kırmızı is also
01:09:07among the detained names, and his procedures at
01:09:11the police department are currently continuing. Let's
01:09:15say that the investigation is deepening and expanding.
01:09:18While detentions and arrests are taking
01:09:22place on one side,
01:09:25MASAK is also conducting inspections of accounts
01:09:29on the other side. At that point, we can say that
01:09:33a comprehensive review of financial transactions
01:09:36is currently taking place. So, what will happen
01:09:40next in the fund liquidation process? What
01:09:43do we expect? Sema Akbulut,
01:09:46we said that the scope of the financial review
01:09:50in the fund investigation has been expanded,
01:09:54because the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's
01:09:56Office asked MASAK to prepare a new and urgent
01:10:00report. This report was not only for four
01:10:03companies, but also for the sub-companies
01:10:07under those four companies, and it was specified
01:10:11that the identity information of their managers
01:10:14should be included, as well as the primary
01:10:18relatives of the managers in this MASAK
01:10:21report. How? Now, in the letter sent
01:10:25to MASAK by the chief prosecutor, the identity
01:10:29information of all managers in Pusula Finans Holding,
01:10:32Tera Yatırım Menkul Değerler, Hedef Holding, Buls Yatırım
01:10:35Menkul, and their sub-companies was requested. The investigation
01:10:46and crypto asset transfers made abroad by the identified
01:10:48managers since 2024
01:10:52are being investigated one by one. It was
01:10:56requested that all money inflows and outflows
01:10:58be sent to the chief prosecutor's office in raw
01:11:01form. Yes, yes.
01:11:04Let's also get your comments on the latest
01:11:07developments, Ferhat Murat. Now, we were actually
01:11:10explaining that, and our reporter
01:11:14gave comprehensive information. Here, it is being
01:11:17looked into whether some companies, some portfolio
01:11:20management companies, have directed the money
01:11:24in their portfolios and pools to the companies
01:11:28they publicly offered, leaving their values
01:11:31at a much higher valuation than their
01:11:35book value, which is the real value
01:11:39of the company. This is important. I gave
01:11:42an example earlier. A factoring company
01:11:46publicly offered by Tera, a company with
01:11:50100-150 employees, almost reached the
01:11:53same value level as Turkish Airlines,
01:11:56which has over 500 planes and is a serious
01:12:00corporate structure with significant added value.
01:12:04This is actually where the question
01:12:06marks intensified. For example, I just
01:12:09mentioned Pusula Holding, and I mentioned that
01:12:13its chairman of the board of directors sent
01:12:1715 million dollars to Switzerland, and Muhammet
01:12:20Yarız, chairman of the board of directors of
01:12:24Pusula Portfolio Management, sent 25 million
01:12:27euros to Switzerland. For example,
01:12:31Pusula's managed money amount as
01:12:34of now, after the CMB regulation of
01:12:37August 28th, is 64 billion lira.
01:12:39So, this is a large amount. When you
01:12:43focus such large amounts on publicly offered
01:12:46companies, it is inevitably evaluated that this
01:12:49creates an environment of manipulation, where
01:12:53there is intense focus on their own shares
01:12:57and heavy investment in affiliated companies.
01:13:00It is also evaluated that they create
01:13:03manipulation by focusing on low-float shares.
01:13:07Here, of course, there is also the
01:13:10question of whether these individuals, the
01:13:14chairmen of the board of directors, will flee
01:13:17abroad after sending their money abroad.
01:13:20Because this brings with it a chaotic
01:13:23environment in the sector and the stock
01:13:27market, which is really problematic. Therefore,
01:13:29we have seen a process where those who do
01:13:33not invest in stock market shares through
01:13:37funds are also clearly affected. However,
01:13:41we can say that the CMB took very
01:13:44quick action to prevent investors from being
01:13:47victimized. They have been asking this question a lot for a few
01:13:51days, especially on the streets,
01:13:55this issue concerns a large number of investors,
01:13:59and everyone is trying to ask the questions
01:14:03on their minds, as we try to explain on television screens.
01:14:06Therefore, the CMB
01:14:10appointed two banks on Friday and
01:14:13Monday, one is İşbank, and the other is
01:14:16Ziraat Bank, a state bank. These banks are making
01:14:20these evaluations and working hard to ensure
01:14:24that our citizens who have money in funds
01:14:27suffer the least possible damage. After these
01:14:31determinations are made during two business
01:14:33days, it will be looked into whether these
01:14:37funds have state debts or loan debts. If
01:14:41there are such debts, after these debts are
01:14:44paid from the funds, they will be minimized
01:14:47in terms of value loss, and perhaps some
01:14:51funds will not lose value at all.
01:14:54It is aimed to complete these payments within
01:14:58the next 10-15 days. This part is important.
01:15:02Although there is a 3-month period on paper,
01:15:05the information I have obtained is that
01:15:08this will not be left for 3 months,
01:15:12and people's investments and money will be transferred to their
01:15:16accounts within the next 15-day period,
01:15:19because there are indeed our citizens who have
01:15:23entrusted their very small savings to such
01:15:27companies in the hope that they will appreciate.
01:15:31It is important for them to get their
01:15:34money back quickly. Here, a very important
01:15:38point is also that two companies, Katılım
01:15:40Evim and Bir Evim, were under the umbrella
01:15:43of these portfolio management companies. There are
01:15:47our citizens who applied to buy a house or
01:15:50a car from there. The question is what
01:15:54will happen to their savings invested there.
01:15:57Let's separate the stock market investor from the
01:16:00fund investor. For our citizens who turned
01:16:04to these companies to buy a house or a
01:16:07car, due to their interest sensitivity
01:16:11or to avoid high interest rates, our
01:16:25is a very important note. You emphasized
01:16:28this point regarding Katılım Evim and Bir
01:16:32Evim. Thank you. Now, let's summarize and bring up the
01:16:35information screen. Dear viewers, let's
01:16:38go over it to summarize the situation.
01:16:42What is the latest situation in the fund
01:16:45market? Let's give you the answer immediately.
01:16:49The fluctuations in the markets were caused
01:16:52by a limited number of funds. Dear viewers,
01:16:55fast and strong measures were taken
01:16:58to prevent the spread of risk. The measures
01:17:02taken are considered sufficient at this
01:17:05stage. There is no widespread systemic
01:17:07risk. There are no structural problems
01:17:11in the stock market and fund market.
01:17:14There is a 3-month roadmap for the
01:17:17liquidation process. 10% of the fund
01:17:20market has been quarantined. The process is healthy
01:17:23in the remaining 90% of the market,
01:17:26dear viewers. The CMB clarified the
01:17:30liquidation and payment process of the funds.
01:17:33131 funds in seven portfolio companies will
01:17:36be liquidated. Banks will be authorized
01:17:40in the liquidation process of the funds. Investors
01:17:43will receive their cash in proportion to their
01:17:47shareholding in the funds. Let's continue.
01:17:50How will fund payments be made? This is
01:17:53a very important question mark, a question
01:17:56that closely concerns the public. Let's give the answer immediately.
01:18:00Investors who place a sell order will be
01:18:04prioritized. Instructions given after 1:30 PM on September 17th
01:18:07will be evaluated
01:18:19what needs to be paid attention to
01:18:22here is that the supervisory board, the CMB,
01:18:26quickly put into action many mechanisms,
01:18:29such as identifying a situation that
01:18:33could grow much larger and cause much more
01:18:37damage in the future, taking precautions,
01:18:40and after determining everything after the
01:18:43audit processes, what kind of sanctions
01:18:46will be applied, what kind of punitive
01:18:50measures will be applied, the legal aspect
01:18:54of this process from now on, or the
01:18:57part where the damage of the affected citizen
01:19:01is not compensated, or what kind of measures
01:19:04can be taken. I think this is
01:19:08the most important point, because everyone, as
01:19:12Mr. Ferhat said, is trying to learn
01:19:15how those who are damaged by this
01:19:19business can be compensated, what risks might
01:19:23come upon us from here, and how the
01:19:25returns will be. However, the issue
01:19:29of stock market manipulation is not a new issue.
01:19:32It is an issue that exists all
01:19:36is involved in doing in all major stock markets.
01:19:39There are different calendars, but here, of course,
01:19:43it is perhaps too early for this mechanism
01:19:46to be working, for the system to be continuing, especially
01:19:50the emphasis on the fact that 90% of it is not a structural
01:19:53problem, which might be reassuring for those
01:19:57who might lose money and have already lost
01:20:01money from this system, as to how they can
01:20:04get their savings or investments back. But of course,
01:20:08stock market manipulation not only affects citizens
01:20:12but also the entire system, shakes trust, and
01:20:15can cause great damage to the entire economic
01:20:19system, and if it is not brought under control
01:20:23and noticed, it could lead to even greater damage. There
01:20:26are also talks of international connections, and these will
01:20:30surely be investigated. New developments are emerging, but
01:20:34since the matter can lead to very different places,
01:20:48Forex fraud, ladies and gentlemen. The investigation
01:20:51into international illegal Forex fraud, managed
01:20:54by individuals linked to Israel, continues. The
01:20:57statements of 203 suspects, including
01:21:0011 Israeli citizens and 47 foreign
01:21:03nationals, who were detained, are being taken. Dear
01:21:06viewers, according to the initial statements of the suspects,
01:21:10the company, which officially belonged to a Turk, was
01:21:14actually owned by Israeli citizens. Also, according
01:21:18to the statements, the Israeli boss's driver
01:21:21carried money in a car and a safe. The information
01:21:31Forex fraud investigation, launched after hundreds
01:21:34of victims applied, is deepening. In the investigation,
01:21:38conducted under the coordination of the Istanbul Chief Public
01:21:41Prosecutor's Office, the police, and MASAK, new
01:21:45information and statements from suspects have emerged.
01:21:49According to the statements, the company involved in the
01:21:52fraud was officially owned by a Turk, but was actually
01:21:55owned by Israeli citizens. In fact, speaking Turkish
01:21:58was forbidden in the company except in the kitchen.
01:22:02The actual owner of Facto company was Israeli
01:22:05Emit Yegal. The official boss was Ilhami. Maksim
01:22:09Verzilov was the second biggest boss after Yegal.
01:22:12An Azerbaijani named Tural was among the managers
01:22:16at the boss level. The information of people to be
01:22:19defrauded was bought and then directed to call centers.
01:22:23Personnel speaking different languages worked for many
01:22:26countries around the world. It is also alleged that money
01:22:29was transported in safes in the fraud company. Emit
01:22:33Yegal's private driver brought large amounts
01:22:37of cash in a car and a safe.
01:22:43In Facto, my salary was deposited into my
01:22:46bank account. The data obtained in the investigation,
01:22:50suspicious statements, MASAK data, and seized digital
01:22:53materials are being examined together. Money transfers,
01:22:57the hierarchical connection
01:22:59between foreign managers, and the roles of Israel-linked
01:23:03individuals in the companies are also under scrutiny.
01:23:06So far, 203 suspects have been detained within
01:23:09the scope of the investigation. It was determined that
01:23:13among the 47 suspects
01:23:15from 20 countries, 11
01:23:19were Israeli citizens. Assets worth 1.5 billion TL,
01:23:22including 80 vehicles and 12 properties, alleged
01:23:26to be criminal proceeds, were seized. Yes,
01:23:29let's look at the Forex fraud issue a bit more.
01:23:32There are international connections, and there's
01:23:36also the espionage issue. But first, let's try
01:23:39to understand what this issue is, and then we'll comment on the latest
01:23:43developments. Many of our viewers may have heard
01:23:47of Forex, Forex investing, etc. phonetically. What
01:23:50is Forex? Foreign exchange. In other words, you entrust
01:23:54your investment to a company, a bank. I'll explain
01:23:57that in a bit. That bank tries to increase
01:24:00your earnings by buying or selling different
01:24:03currencies around the world. For example, by predicting
01:24:07that the Japanese Yen will rise, and when it
01:24:10reaches its peak, it can be switched to Chinese
01:24:14Yuan, or American Dollars or Euros can be bought
01:24:17and sold. Who can do this, Ms. Betül? The Central
01:24:20Bank, banks, and companies approved by
01:24:24the BRSA should carry out these transactions.
01:24:27Now, the issue here, as our friends have written, is illegal
01:24:32Forex fraud. It's illegal
01:24:35fraud. In an illegal way,
01:24:38without having this license, without having this
01:24:42authority, they ask people to direct their savings and
01:24:45investments to them with the promise of
01:24:49making a profit. They do this through call
01:24:52centers. Of course, one of the interesting
01:24:56things here is that even though the owner
01:24:59of this company was officially Turkish, its
01:25:02managers were actually Israeli. In fact,
01:25:06according to the information we obtained from the operation
01:25:09carried out by the Prosecutor's Office, it was stated
01:25:12that speaking Turkish was forbidden inside
01:25:16the office, and that Hebrew should be spoken.
01:25:20This is also among the information. Here, of
01:25:23course, when Israel
01:25:27business illegally in Turkey, we also see this
01:25:30very clearly: people, of course, perhaps with
01:25:34the hope of making a profit, can also convey a lot
01:25:37of their information to these companies through
01:25:41call center employees. Therefore, perhaps in the
01:25:44coming period, as you said, the espionage dimension
01:25:48of this matter may also emerge. But here, an
01:25:51important operation was carried out against a method
01:25:53that is already illegal and covets people's money,
01:25:57and also allows their personal data to meet with them.
01:26:00I must state that. A significant blow was indeed
01:26:03dealt to those who covet our people's money, earnings,
01:26:07and information, through these companies and similar
01:26:10methods. While a serious blow is dealt to our people's economic gains,
01:26:14personal information is also obtained through
01:26:17these companies and similar companies, and different
01:26:20avenues of fraud may be pursued through these.
01:26:24As you know, even if not through Forex, after
01:26:28personal information is leaked, fraud is resorted to
01:26:31at different points, and people are defrauded as
01:26:35if they were government officials, prosecutors,
01:26:38judges, or police officers, by calling them and
01:26:42causing them to lose their savings, which they
01:26:45have worked for years to accumulate.
01:26:48Therefore, attention must be paid
01:26:51to this. I think these operations are
01:26:55important in this context. Indeed, it is important
01:26:59that the necessary procedures are carried
01:27:03out for everyone who covets our citizens'
01:27:06money, earnings, and information. It is
01:27:09interesting that such companies operate in
01:27:12Istanbul or Turkey in a closed circuit.
01:27:15For example, it is an interesting detail that
01:27:19all companies operating in Turkey are required
01:27:23to pay their employees' salaries through a bank,
01:27:26but this company strangely pays in cash.
01:27:29In other words, it actually reveals an informal
01:27:33working arrangement. Of course, here, perhaps
01:27:37the money of our citizens will be revealed as a
01:27:39result of a deep investigation by the prosecutor's
01:27:43office, but it is also possible that it may
01:27:46be used in crimes. Therefore, we need
01:27:50to be very careful. These kinds of transactions
01:27:53should be carried out with reliable sources.
01:27:57Whether it's Forex or funds and similar
01:28:00processes, it is very important for our citizens
01:28:04that these are carried out and controlled through
01:28:07our state's banks, our state's institutions,
01:28:11and companies authorized by our state. Yes,
01:28:20should have been handled with meticulous
01:28:23care and sensitivity were not given
01:28:27enough attention, and some things were
01:28:30quickly taken care of, perhaps in an
01:28:34attempt to close the process. Of course, as a citizen,
01:28:38I wonder why this happened, and
01:28:42why many suspicious situations, such as
01:28:45the cup washing incident, were not
01:28:48dealt with as they should have
01:28:52been. journalist Osman Arslan,
01:28:55ambulance driver Süleyman Kaba, then-Prison Director
01:28:59Ömer Vatan, and then-Shift Supervisor Kazım Beyke
01:29:03were detained. The ambulance driver was released
01:29:06after his statement to the police, considering
01:29:09the current evidence. The other three suspects
01:29:13in custody are expected to be sent to the
01:29:16courthouse after their statements are taken.
01:29:19Previously, 6 suspects were arrested within
01:29:22the scope of the investigation. Among those arrested
01:29:25were Ali İşgören, the then-Chief Public Prosecutor
01:29:29of Silivri, who was expelled from his
01:29:33profession due to FETÖ membership, and former
01:29:37Prison Prosecutor Necep Doğan. Now, let's
01:29:39elaborate a bit more on the information screen. There are those who
01:29:43are arrested and those who are under house
01:29:47arrest. Two arrests and two house arrests
01:29:50stand out. Especially Hasan Atilla Uğur
01:29:54was Kozinoğlu's cellmate, a retired colonel.
01:29:57Kaşif Kozinoğlu's cellmate. Yes. And he
01:30:01is currently under house arrest. İşgören
01:30:04was serving as the Silivri Chief Public Prosecutor
01:30:08at the time of the incident. He is currently arrested.
01:30:11The prosecutor who issued a non-prosecution decision
01:30:15for Kozinoğlu's death. And the interesting
01:30:18thing is that he was expelled from his
01:30:20profession within the scope of FETÖ investigations.
01:30:24After this incident, which took place
01:30:28in 2011. Yes, Necip Doğan was
01:30:30the Prison Prosecutor at the time of the incident.
01:30:34He was the prosecutor who participated in
01:30:37the crime scene investigation of Kaşif Kozinoğlu. And similarly, Doğan
01:30:41was also expelled from his profession within
01:30:45the scope of FETÖ investigations. He is currently arrested.
01:30:48Kozinoğlu's cellmate, retired Navy Captain
01:30:51Hasan Ataman Yıldırım, who is under house
01:30:55arrest, should also be noted. I want
01:30:58to ask you, Ferhat Murat, about the latest
01:31:01developments. The circle is expanding. Especially
01:31:05after these two arrests and two house arrest
01:31:08decisions, as we reported in the news, many
01:31:11people, such as the ambulance driver and
01:31:14the prison director, are included in the investigation.
01:31:18How do you evaluate the process? Of course,
01:31:21Kozinoğlu's death indeed harbored very serious
01:31:24question marks, and an investigation was launched
01:31:28after his death. However, the investigation
01:31:32was closed with a non-prosecution decision.
01:31:35With the lifting of this non-prosecution
01:31:38decision on August 26, 2026, and the establishment
01:31:42of the Department of Unsolved Crimes by Justice Minister
01:31:46Akın Gülle, this led to the reopening
01:31:49of these cold cases or highly suspicious cases. In this context,
01:31:53we are actually faced with a situation where
01:31:56Kozinoğlu's death, which was believed to be
01:31:59shrouded in mystery, makes us feel much
01:32:02more strongly that he did not lose
01:32:06his life in an ordinary, normal way, when
01:32:09we look at the many pieces of information
01:32:13that have emerged. Now, first of all, Kozinoğlu
01:32:16pressed the emergency button when he
01:32:20felt ill in prison. Hmm. 20 minutes
01:32:24after the emergency button was pressed,
01:32:27the officials arrived at the ward. It
01:32:31is alleged that the prison officials increased
01:32:34the volume of the radio broadcast inside
01:32:37the prison so that the sound of the
01:32:41emergency button would not be heard. In
01:32:44addition to this,
01:32:46it was stated that there was an ambulance
01:32:50change while going from the prison to the hospital.
01:32:53This is also information that emerged from the statements.
01:32:57And in addition to this, the fact that
01:33:00the warden fled abroad after the July 15
01:33:03coup attempt, that he was a FETÖ
01:33:06affiliate, that the Silivri Chief Public
01:33:10Prosecutor was expelled from his profession
01:33:12due to FETÖ membership, and that the Prison
01:33:16Chief Prosecutor, Necip Doğan, as we just
01:33:18mentioned, was also expelled due to FETÖ
01:33:22membership, actually deepens the suspicions
01:33:25even further. Another thing that deepens these
01:33:28suspicions is the most-watched TV series of that
01:33:31period, Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu. Here, 3 days
01:33:35before his death, in episode 136,
01:33:38a character named Kazım Kaşifoğlu, who represented
01:33:41Kaşif Kozinoğlu, and who also played a
01:33:46it is alleged that this character was
01:33:49a target, and 3 days after the order
01:33:52to execute that character was given,
01:33:55we are faced with Kozinoğlu's death. It
01:33:59is a suspicious death. Of course, when
01:34:02the investigations are deepened, when the camera
01:34:05recordings and the information of that
01:34:09day are re-examined, perhaps healthy hands,
01:34:13as I just mentioned,
01:34:15the prosecutors of the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office at
01:34:19that time were members of FETÖ. We can
01:34:22talk about the most up-to-date images if
01:34:25you wish. What happened in Kaşif Kozinoğlu's
01:34:29ward after he drank coffee after
01:34:32sports? This is important to understand.
01:34:36He has two cellmates. We just mentioned their
01:34:39names. We see a lot of activity
01:34:43here with Kaşif Kozinoğlu. Let's hear from
01:34:46you what happened. One of the interesting
01:34:50points here is that when we entered the
01:34:53ward, his cellmate, Hasan Atilla Uğur,
01:34:57who also served as the Deputy Head
01:34:59of Gendarmerie Intelligence, and who is also
01:35:02Oğuzhan Uğur's father, it is stated that
01:35:06Kozinoğlu asked for a sublingual pill that
01:35:10he had, and that he gave it to him.
01:35:13However, when asked, he says, "Yes, I took
01:35:16it, but I don't remember where I got
01:35:20it from." Yes, this is a suspicious
01:35:22situation that raises questions for the
01:35:26prosecutors. Another interesting point here, Ms. Betül,
01:35:29is this: Let's say we are in this studio,
01:35:33four of us. God forbid, if one
01:35:36of us dies, what does the prosecutor's
01:35:40office do? First, if there is no one
01:35:44else, they take the other three into custody
01:35:47if necessary, and ensure that the question marks
01:35:50and veil of secrecy are completely clarified.
01:35:54Yes, but this was not done. For example, I just mentioned the
01:35:57Silivri Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and
01:36:01the Prison Chief Prosecutor's Office. Yes,
01:36:04the prosecutors are currently arrested for that
01:36:08reason. While it is clear that the
01:36:11prosecutors were members of FETÖ, they
01:36:15are actually held accountable for how
01:36:18they revealed such grave negligence or
01:36:21deliberately malicious moves. While the cellmates
01:36:24and all the personnel there should have been
01:36:28thoroughly questioned, we were faced with
01:36:32a hasty non-prosecution decision. This was
01:36:35very important. Now let's try to understand
01:36:39the activity here. What's happening here? Now,
01:36:41Kozinoğlu, who was a truly remarkable person,
01:36:45started his military service in 1980.
01:36:48His life was spent both on military
01:36:52fronts and, after his retirement, on
01:36:54intelligence fronts. He carried out important
01:36:58work on behalf of our state in every
01:37:01region imaginable, including the Balkans, Central
01:37:05Asia, and Afghanistan. He was appointed as
01:37:08a chief advisor to the Central Asia
01:37:12coordinator by Hakan Fidan, who was
01:37:15the head of MİT at the time. Now,
01:37:19we also need to understand this: 2 or
01:37:222.5 months after
01:37:23Kozinoğlu died, we
01:37:26faced the February 7th MİT crisis.
01:37:30Actually, the issue that the prosecutor's
01:37:33office is currently suspicious of is that FETÖ
01:37:35caused Kozinoğlu's death not by natural
01:37:38causes, but by assassination. As you
01:37:42know, intelligence agencies, intelligence organizations,
01:37:45can use certain chemicals to trigger
01:37:49a heart attack by administering them in
01:37:52doses over a certain
01:37:54period. Here, it
01:37:56is stated that he fell ill after sports,
01:38:00and that his cellmates pressed the emergency
01:38:03button, but that the officials arrived
01:38:0620 minutes later. Yes, here is Kozinoğlu's room.
01:38:10While Kozinoğlu is being taken to the
01:38:13hospital by ambulance, his room is entered
01:38:17and exited. Afterwards, his friend washes
01:38:20the coffee cup he drank from. His
01:38:24cellmate is also from a military
01:38:27background, so he knows very well
01:38:30that the cup should not be washed. But
01:38:33why are they washing it? The prosecutor also asks this
01:38:37question today, but he cannot get an
01:38:40answer. Conflicting answers. This is a very
01:38:44important point. I'm sorry. He has
01:38:47an object in his hand. Uğur is asked
01:38:51what this object was, but he cannot
01:38:54answer. He says he doesn't remember.
01:38:57There are many question marks. Now,
01:39:01first of all, you are in a
01:39:04three-person ward.
01:39:06One of your friends,
01:39:08who is also your colleague, as
01:39:12Kozinoğlu was from a military background, tells
01:39:15you to come with
01:39:19him while he is on the stretcher.
01:39:23It is stated in the statements that
01:39:26Hasan Atilla Uğur went as far as
01:39:30he could. And after your cellmate,
01:39:33who is likely to die, or who
01:39:37is rushed to the hospital in an emergency, is taken to the
01:39:40hospital, is the first thing you
01:39:44do to wash the cup? I mean,
01:39:48let's think normally. Think of yourself as
01:39:50any human being. Even if you
01:39:54don't have the sensitivity to preserve the evidence
01:39:58you mentioned, you wouldn't go and
01:40:01wash the cup. You wouldn't face
01:40:04this situation as a result of an
01:40:07anxious wait. That's the first thing.
01:40:10Secondly, as you said, you were
01:40:13the deputy head of intelligence. If
01:40:16there is a suspicious death, and Kozinoğlu
01:40:19repeatedly told his cellmates... I'm
01:40:22sorry, the light was turned off.
01:40:25For example, why was it turned off?
01:40:29What was done after it was turned off?
01:40:33It was turned off. In other words,
01:40:37Kozinoğlu repeatedly told his cellmates, referring to FETÖ, "They
01:40:40will kill me." Considering this, and
01:40:44the fact that the lights were turned
01:40:47off, the cups were washed, and
01:40:51he said, "I don't remember where I gave
01:40:54the pill from, I don't remember how
01:40:58I gave it," we can say that
01:41:02these statements are indeed out of the
01:41:05ordinary course of life. At least the prosecutor's
01:41:09office thinks and evaluates it this
01:41:13way. Behind this process, of course,
01:41:16is the information that Kozinoğlu would
01:41:20explain all of FETÖ's organization in Central
01:41:24Asia in his statement 10 days later,
01:41:28or rather, in his defense at the
01:41:31court. And as I just said, when
01:41:35there was also an aim to reach
01:41:38Hakan Fidan, the then-MİT Undersecretary,
01:41:41after Kozinoğlu, you know, on that
01:41:45day, Turkey turned from a very
01:41:49important corner due to President Recep
01:41:53Tayyip Erdoğan, who was then Prime Minister,
01:41:56entering the operation
01:42:07late. And because
01:42:15important institution of our state, like
01:42:17MİT, we may have faced these situations.
01:42:21I believe that these veils of
01:42:24mystery will be clarified in the
01:42:27not-too-distant future. A final detail
01:42:30about Kozinoğlu, perhaps for viewers who
01:42:34don't know: while Kozinoğlu was serving
01:42:38in Afghanistan, he found a high-ranking
01:42:41American military officer, who was also
01:42:44a CIA agent, whom the United
01:42:47States could not locate. The information
01:42:50reached Kozinoğlu, or rather, our intelligence
01:42:54agency, and Kozinoğlu found this high-ranking
01:42:58officer as if he had put his
01:43:02hand on him, there are those
01:43:05who were detained, and there are those
01:43:09who were placed under house arrest.
01:43:12We are discussing many details. What
01:43:15is your comment? Honestly, it's an
01:43:19incident from many years ago and
01:43:23everyone is wondering why it was covered up so hastily
01:43:26and decisions were made suddenly. Everyone is curious,
01:43:29frankly, to go back and investigate all this evidence
01:43:32and the connection of the situation with FETÖ, especially
01:43:35as the damage caused by the FETÖ Terrorist Organization
01:43:39becomes much more visible year by year. It is important
01:43:42to reveal how far its branches and roots
01:43:45extend. It is quite significant
01:43:49because he is a civil servant
01:43:53who served for years, participated in many operations,
01:43:57was in many difficult environments, and made many sacrifices.
01:44:00But the point you have reached at the end is
01:44:03a very suspicious process. Of course, everyone has questions,
01:44:07but in the current ongoing process,
01:44:10many answers regarding the past have not been found.
01:44:14Many cases related to FETÖ in the past have been covered up,
01:44:18not investigated, ignored in some way
01:44:20due to FETÖ connections, or their evidence was concealed.
01:44:24We see that many such situations are now
01:44:28being brought up again and that
01:44:31many of them are being clarified. Besides this, many unsolved
01:44:35cases will also clear up the question marks in everyone's mind.
01:44:38Now,
01:45:01developments regarding the financial situation.
01:45:04As you know, previously,
01:45:07many developments occurred regarding the suspicious
01:45:10death of Arif Emire Denizolgun, the former leader of the Süleymanlılar group.
01:45:14Let's see what stage
01:45:16the investigation is at now, dear viewers.
01:45:19In the Alihan Kuriş criminal organization
01:45:23investigation, evidence was found
01:45:26that cash was hidden in aid shipments
01:45:29and sent abroad. Based on new evidence,
01:45:32arrest warrants were issued for 30 suspects.
01:45:36Trustees were appointed
01:45:40The testimonies of witnesses also drew attention
01:45:43in the investigation.
01:45:52Undeclared money transfers were made through logistics companies
01:45:56and couriers. In the investigation into the Alihan Kuriş criminal organization,
01:46:00new evidence was found regarding the organization's money traffic.
01:46:04In the investigation conducted by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office,
01:46:07arrest warrants were issued for 30 suspects.
01:46:10It was decided
01:46:11to appoint trustees to 23 companies.
01:46:15It was determined that individuals and companies
01:46:17believed to be connected to the organization organized money and asset movements
01:46:21and facilitated undeclared transfers. It was understood
01:46:24that the suspects were involved in activities aimed at laundering
01:46:28income believed to be obtained from crime.
01:46:29anlaşıldı.
01:46:33The methods used in money transfers were also reflected in the file.
01:46:37Evidence was obtained that cash was hidden
01:46:40in aid shipments sent abroad. It was determined
01:46:43that a significant portion of some money transfers
01:46:47was carried out undeclared through online payment systems,
01:46:50logistics companies, and couriers. It was determined
01:46:54that some individuals and companies provided consulting services
01:46:57to make these transactions
01:46:58appear legal.
01:47:03The testimonies of three witnesses also drew attention in the investigation.
01:47:06Witnesses stated that pressure was exerted to vote for the CHP
01:47:13during election periods, and that those who opposed were not allowed into dormitories, mosques, and social facilities.
01:47:15ettiler.
01:47:18Yes, dear viewers, a new operation
01:47:22has been launched within the scope
01:47:25of the Alihan Kuriş criminal organization investigation. Let's put that as the title
01:47:29and elaborate on it. The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office
01:47:32reached new evidence. Arrest warrants were issued
01:47:36for 29 suspects. Trustees were appointed to 23 companies.
01:47:40Yes, we continue.
01:47:44The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office reached new evidence
01:47:47regarding money traffic. Activities aimed at laundering
01:47:50income obtained from crime were detected.
01:47:54It was determined that individuals and companies
01:47:58connected to the organization organized money and assets.
01:48:01It was revealed that they facilitated
01:48:04undeclared money transfers. The methods used
01:48:08in money transfers were reflected in the file, sir.
01:48:10efendim.
01:48:14It was revealed that cash was hidden
01:48:17in aid sent abroad. It was determined
01:48:21that logistics companies and couriers were used
01:48:24in the transfers. It was reported
01:48:27that a large portion of money transfers was made using this method.
01:48:31It was determined that consulting services
01:48:33were received to make these transactions
01:48:37appear legal, dear viewers. What is
01:48:40the latest situation in the Kuriş criminal organization investigation?
01:48:43So far,
01:48:47legal action has been taken against 161 suspects.
01:48:5080 suspects were arrested. Judicial control orders
01:48:53were issued against 22 suspects. As a result of the work carried out,
01:48:57trustees were appointed to 74 companies.
01:49:00Yes, Ferhat Murat, we are talking about a very
01:49:04broad investigation, but at the stage reached,
01:49:07there are significant developments especially regarding
01:49:10the money traffic and so on. We know that previously,
01:49:14the general headquarters of the formation,
01:49:18the central building, was moved abroad.
01:49:22A very magnificent building was built in Cologne, Germany,
01:49:25for 70 million. In this process,
01:49:28there were also reports and predictions
01:49:32that they made many moves to take this financial table abroad.
01:49:35Now these are coming true. How would you comment on this?
01:49:38Now, of course, today's operation
01:49:42is the 4th wave of operations. What had we seen before?
01:49:45We had seen the arrest of the organization leader Alihan Kuriş.
01:49:48Afterwards, we saw that Alihan Kuriş's brother, Süleyman Hilmi Kuriş,
01:49:51was caught while trying to escape
01:49:54as a fugitive. And he was caught
01:49:57in a vehicle allocated to former Interior Minister
01:50:01İdris Naim Şahin. In the search
01:50:04conducted in the company
01:50:07where he was on the board of directors, 206 kilograms of gold ingots, over 350 thousand dollars
01:50:11in cash, and over 150,000 dollars in cash were seized.
01:50:15This is a significant amount. As you just mentioned, a huge center
01:50:19worth 70 million was built in Cologne, Germany,
01:50:23which is already known to everyone. Now, the points
01:50:27that are actually coming true here are that, yes,
01:50:30money was placed in boxes appearing
01:50:34as aid packages or essential supplies,
01:50:37and the investigation is deepening
01:50:40into the possibility of these funds
01:50:44being directed outside Turkey,
01:50:47to Europe, to Germany. Of course, when you look at it,
01:50:51can it be expected that a structure
01:50:54that presents itself, in inverted commas, as a religious
01:50:58organization would face
01:51:01these criminal allegations? Can it be expected
01:51:04that it would face accusations such as money laundering
01:51:07(black money) of income obtained from crime,
01:51:11fraud by harming public institutions, and opposition to the tax procedure law?
01:51:14No, it cannot be expected. This is actually
01:51:18contrary to the nature of things. Here, we can very clearly
01:51:22say that our state does not carry out any operations
01:51:25against communities or religious groups.
01:51:28I am emphasizing this.
01:51:40by wearing this mask.
01:51:44It removes these masks from the faces of those
01:51:46who wear them. We need to understand this very well.
01:51:48Yes, you have made a very good summary
01:51:55of a very important issue. We have refreshed our memories again.
01:51:59In this context, I think we should also make this note:
01:52:03the change of the Süleymanlılar
01:52:06Community's leader in 2016
01:52:08due to suspicious death.
01:52:12In this context, the suspicious death
01:52:14of Arif Emre Denizolgu is being investigated
01:52:18and researched. It coincides
01:52:21exactly with 2016. In 2016,
01:52:25Alihan Kuriş and his team
01:52:28took over the leadership of the community.
01:52:32After this process, we talk about money traffic and so on,
01:52:36don't we? There was a shift towards
01:52:39corporatization in a way that was
01:52:42unprecedented and not in its tradition.
01:52:45So, the increase in its economic claims
01:52:48by this team and
01:52:51at the subsequent stage,
01:52:56there are allegations of contacts with foreign
01:53:00intelligence agencies and so on. And after the headquarters
01:53:03was moved abroad, we are talking about
01:53:07allegations that assets and this financial
01:53:10table were also taken abroad. So, all
01:53:13of this raises the question of whether
01:53:17preparations were being made for something. What is your comment,
01:53:20Yeliz Albayrak?
01:53:23Now, the suspicious death of Ahmet Arif Denizolgu,
01:53:26again, an investigation is opened,
01:53:30similar to Kozinoğlu's death we just talked about, but that investigation
01:53:34is also left unresolved. In fact,
01:53:37the finding that one of the doctors
01:53:40who performed his autopsy, one of the doctors involved in Denizolgu's autopsy,
01:53:44was a Bylock user and a member of FETÖ
01:53:47is also a point that further raises
01:53:50question marks. As you know, a grave was exhumed,
01:53:53and soft tissue samples were taken.
01:53:57As a result, it will be revealed whether it was poisoning
01:54:00or another cause. But I expect the report
01:54:04to be released in a very short time,
01:54:07in a few days. On the other hand,
01:54:11Denizolgu's death 2 months after the July 15 coup attempt
01:54:15and Alihan Kuriş's rapid appointment to lead this structure.
01:54:18Denizolgu rejected FETÖ's
01:54:22repeated offers of cooperation during
01:54:25his leadership. His death
01:54:28and then Alihan Kuriş suddenly taking over the structure
01:54:32and the increase in economic activity
01:54:35are also among the considerations that some businessmen
01:54:38or members affiliated with FETÖ
01:54:41acted together with this structure
01:54:45and used methods to cover their tracks after the July 15 coup attempt.
01:54:49What could all of this be a preparation for?
01:54:53It could be a preparation for this: Now, we are facing many problems.
01:54:57After the July 15 coup attempt, we faced a currency
01:55:01coup in 2018. In 2020, our surroundings were a ring of fire
01:55:04with the Russia-Ukraine war, and the earthquake. On one hand, we see
01:55:08that there is a tendency to harm the determined will of the state
01:55:12to fight inflation with market manipulations.
01:55:16Now, look, we are facing
01:55:19a chain of comprehensive operations, targeting fruits and vegetables,
01:55:23poultry, companies of such structures,
01:55:26and stock market manipulations. There is indeed a serious
01:55:30and comprehensive chain of operations.
01:55:33Therefore, there is this preparation here:
01:55:36some structures are acting collectively
01:55:40with foreign intelligence organizations
01:55:43to put the government, elected by the national will,
01:55:47in a difficult situation and pressure it,
01:55:50and operating in Turkey. Now,
01:55:53at this point, I see a serious sensitivity,
01:55:56and I openly read that the matter
01:56:00is being pursued decisively
01:56:03to the end. At this point,
01:56:06those who try to present themselves differently,
01:56:10such as the Süleymanlılar, but we call them the Kuriş criminal organization,
01:56:13or Alparslan Kuytul under the name of Furkan Foundation,
01:56:17have different connections,
01:56:20and these names present an image
01:56:23contrary to a religious structure.
01:56:27Their earnings increased significantly
01:56:30after taking over these structures.
01:56:34After losing its influence,
01:56:43there must have been those who gave
01:56:46them advice and guidance with this structure.
01:56:49Intelligence organizations do this very well,
01:56:53like Germany, America, and Mossad. Therefore, the fact
01:56:57that this structure moved its center to Europe
01:57:01and moved money out of here to do so
01:57:05already clearly tells us
01:57:15and how do you evaluate the current situation? Frankly,
01:57:18this issue seems like it will continue for a long time,
01:57:21because there are still many unresolved points,
01:57:24and I'm sure there are many more sub-topics to investigate,
01:57:28because we are talking about very large sums
01:57:31and many companies, and we see that they are
01:57:35in different sectors. What does this mean? It means that different
01:57:39interest groups come together through large sums of money
01:57:43and different means
01:57:46to act as they wish when the time comes,
01:57:49with many foreign-linked power centers
01:57:52or interest groups. Such groups usually
01:57:56work together both domestically
01:57:59and internationally, possessing both
01:58:02capital power and key positions
01:58:06they have established. They have the ability
01:58:09to use this power when needed.
01:58:13They provide the opportunity
01:58:17to use the power they hold
01:58:20when desired. Of course,
01:58:23and use the power they hold who they are with
01:58:27and whose interests they serve can also change from time to time.
01:58:31They can act together with different interest
01:58:35groups at home and abroad.
01:58:39However, there are many unresolved questions
01:58:42right now, but we can expect
01:58:45that it will spread over time,
01:58:48and many other surprising connections
01:58:51may emerge, even much larger sums. Some intelligence
01:58:55services are being talked about right now,
01:58:58and these points may become clearer.
01:59:01But, as I said,
01:59:05these structures can unfortunately take advantage of
01:59:08people's different thoughts, religious feelings, nationalist
01:59:11feelings, or all sensitive points,
01:59:15to somehow take money from citizens' pockets
01:59:18and gain their support, but then use it for very different
01:59:22things at very different times.
01:59:26We hope that everyone's question, "Where does it lead,
01:59:29what is it connected to," will be answered,
01:59:33just like in the previous case. Why were so many things covered up,
01:59:36why were so many issues investigated so quickly? In times past,
01:59:39there will probably be other murders, other key connections.
01:59:43We will, of course, see all of these in detail,
01:59:53including how far the connections extend. In our second hour,
01:59:56dear viewers, we will now look at the United Nations
01:59:59agenda. Next week, the world's eyes will be on the United Nations General
02:00:03Assembly meetings. The meetings
02:00:06will take place between September 22-28, sir.
02:00:09And the theme of the summit is "Rebuilding Trust,
02:00:12Managing Transformation: Delivering for All."
02:00:16için sonuç veren bir
02:00:24to attend the General Assembly discussions
02:00:28in the United States, sir. Erdoğan will address
02:00:32the United Nations General Assembly
02:00:35on September 22. Now let's turn
02:00:38our cameras to New York.
02:00:47As you know, we will hear about the atmosphere
02:00:50there from you. In addition, there are many
02:00:54things regarding the agenda topics
02:00:57of the UN meetings and the President's contacts.
02:01:00We are listening
02:01:01to your notes.
02:01:06Yes, we are in front of Türkevi. We expect the plane carrying
02:01:10President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to land in New York in approximately
02:01:13one hour.
02:01:17He will come to the Turkish House to continue his contacts
02:01:20during his 4-day visit. has hosted
02:01:24in New York right now, but let's state that
02:01:27many Turkish citizens are also at this point
02:01:30to welcome President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. We cannot show Turkish citizens
02:01:33from where we are for the broadcast, but let's state that
02:01:37a large number of Turkish citizens are here, as every year,
02:01:40to welcome President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
02:01:44will not have any programs today.
02:01:47He will rest after coming to Turkey, but he will start his contacts
02:01:51intensively on the sidelines
02:01:55of the United Nations General Assembly
02:01:58in the United States starting tomorrow.
02:02:02Of course, eyes will be on President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's
02:02:05speech at the United Nations
02:02:09General Assembly on September 22,
02:02:12which is Tuesday. The President will address
02:02:16the world from the United Nations rostrum for the 16th time.
02:02:20What messages will President Erdoğan convey?
02:02:23In his 15 previous speeches, the President gave historical
02:02:26messages. He gave memorable
02:02:30messages from the United Nations rostrum. This time, we expect
02:02:34him to give his messages again. The President will convey his
02:02:37historic messages from the United Nations General Assembly. In particular,
02:02:41we expect the President to once again draw attention
02:02:44to the genocidal Israel's genocide in Gaza,
02:02:47as he did in previous years. In previous years, President Erdoğan
02:02:51brought up Israel's occupation of Palestine
02:02:54and its atrocities in Palestine by presenting visuals and photos
02:02:58from the United Nations rostrum, addressing the world.
02:03:02We expect the President to once again draw attention
02:03:05to the genocide and occupation in Palestine
02:03:09during his speech on Tuesday, September 22.
02:03:12Besides this, from the US-Iran crisis to the Russia-Ukraine war,
02:03:15kadar uluslararası.
02:03:56President Erdoğan will emphasize the deadlock and injustices
02:03:59in the international system in his speech.
02:04:02Let's note that all eyes are on President Erdoğan's
02:04:06speech, which he will deliver for the 16th time
02:04:09at the United Nations General Assembly on September 22.
02:04:13However, let's state that
02:04:16the President will also intensively continue leader diplomacy
02:04:20in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations summit.
02:04:23Let me add this footnote: President Erdoğan
02:04:26has held meetings with Heads of State and Government
02:04:29from 68 different countries so far this year.
02:04:33He has signed off on a dizzying diplomatic traffic.
02:04:36Let's state that the President will continue
02:04:39this diplomatic traffic, leader diplomacy,
02:04:42within the scope of the United Nations General Assembly. Türkevi,
02:04:45where we are, has actually become a center of diplomacy.
02:04:49Since its opening in 2021, President Erdoğan
02:04:53bilateral meetings with leaders
02:04:56during his visit to the United States at Türkevi.
02:05:30We should also mention that President Erdoğan, as every year,
02:05:33will meet with the Turkish community
02:05:36living here in New York. In addition, a meeting
02:05:39will be held with representatives of US think tanks.
02:05:43It will be a very busy program for 4 days.
02:05:46We expect President Erdoğan's plane to land in about
02:05:49an hour, and President Erdoğan
02:05:53to be at Türkevi
02:06:19about this? Yes, Ahmet Yılmaz, did you hear
02:06:23me?
02:06:26I heard your question, Mr. President.
02:06:30No information about this meeting
02:06:33has been provided by the Directorate of Communications,
02:06:36but of course,
02:06:40this meeting may take place,
02:06:44but let's state that no information has been provided
02:06:47by the Directorate of Communications.
02:06:50it is clear with whom President Erdoğan
02:06:54will hold bilateral meetings in his program,
02:06:57and additions can also be made to these names from time to time
02:07:01during President Erdoğan's visit to New York. However, no information
02:07:05has been provided about a meeting with Trump. Let's also underline that
02:07:15Ahmet Yılmaz. We can also say this about this question:
02:07:19The G20 will be held in Miami, USA,
02:07:23in December. Of course, there will be meetings
02:07:26at this summit, but President Erdoğan will most likely
02:07:30have another America program in two months,
02:07:34and he will also meet with Trump at the G20 summit.
02:07:38I know that, yes, okay.
02:07:41Now, of course, dear sir,
02:07:44in the United Nations General Assembly meetings,
02:07:47perhaps the most anticipated speaker is Mr. President.
02:07:51He has made very impactful speeches
02:07:54at the UN General Assembly so far. Mr. President sometimes
02:07:57criticizes the system. He often brings solutions
02:08:01to global problems. He brings many agenda items
02:08:05to the world's attention. This time,
02:08:09he will definitely address Gaza, which is expected.
02:08:12He will emphasize many problem areas. What is your comment
02:08:16on Mr. President's speech? You know, when we look
02:08:19at the founding purpose or founding structure
02:08:23of the United Nations, we actually see a structure
02:08:27that is the exact opposite of today's situation. to produce peace. The functioning of the international system in the world,
02:08:30which should produce justice, should be carried out fairly and equally.
02:08:34It is a structure that protects and safeguards
02:08:37the international law in inter-state relations and
02:08:41should maintain it, but today it is facing
02:08:44a function that is exactly the opposite.
02:08:47In fact, there were various problems related to this
02:08:51during the Cold War era, but today this is very clear.
02:08:54We see this in a very obvious way.
02:08:58There is a structure called the United Nations Security Council
02:09:02with five permanent members and ten temporary members,
02:09:05and if these five permanent members veto,
02:09:08no law, no vote
02:09:12can be passed, even if 190 countries or 194 countries
02:09:15approve it. Therefore,
02:09:18in terms of the functioning of the system, there is an unjust structure, because the system
02:09:22was established after the Second World War
02:09:25in 1945, and this was a distribution based
02:09:28on the distribution of power at that time. But when we look at the distribution of power
02:09:32in today's world, we see that it does not reflect
02:09:35the truth or what is fair. We know this closely, because
02:09:39Turkey, as an actor located in the Middle East,
02:09:42suffered the most from this. In the Gaza issue,
02:09:46in the Palestine issue, in the face of Israel's actions,
02:09:49all states in the Middle East actually suffer
02:09:52from the helpless or dominant structure of the United Nations.
02:09:56As you know, Mr. President also strongly emphasized this.
02:10:00When he asked what Israel's borders are in the United Nations,
02:10:03where the legal structures of all
02:10:06states are valid, no one
02:10:09could answer, because no one knows
02:10:12Israel's borders. Therefore, in such a structure,
02:10:16a state that has managed to remain outside international law
02:10:20from its own perspective can find a place
02:10:23in the mechanism where international law operates.
02:10:27Therefore, in fact, "the world is bigger than five"
02:10:30has become a motto of Turkish foreign policy, and President Erdoğan
02:10:34in every UN General Assembly address,
02:10:37in his speech, touched upon different points,
02:10:40especially globally and locally, for example, regarding FETO,
02:10:44after 2016, he had a very serious speech. In 2016,
02:10:48just two months after the July 15 coup attempt, when he went to the United Nations in New York
02:10:52in September and gave a speech, he focused mainly
02:10:56on FETO. Look, today,
02:10:59in fact, both in our region
02:11:02and internally, we are facing serious crises.
02:11:06Look, today, the Ukraine, Iran, and Yemen
02:11:09issue draws a triangle. And Turkey is right in the middle
02:11:13of it. By contributing in all these areas and
02:11:16contributing to international peace and justice, it is actually trying
02:11:20to do what the United Nations should do.
02:11:24Therefore, in all these, starting with the Gaza issue,
02:11:27you know, last year, there was a serious meeting
02:11:31in the Gaza issue, both with Trump and with representatives of the Gaza Peace Council
02:11:34and other states. Perhaps
02:11:38today, in this United Nations General Assembly,
02:11:42perhaps Iran or Russia will be a more prominent issue,
02:11:46and Turkey is one of the states most closely related
02:11:49to both these issues. Therefore, President
02:11:52will actually be giving his 16th address
02:11:55to the General Assembly, and he is one of the leaders
02:11:59who has addressed it the most in the world. In this sense,
02:12:02he will give a strong speech,
02:12:06emphasizing the reform of the United Nations,
02:12:09what needs to change when we come from 1945
02:12:13to 2026. "He will strongly emphasize
02:12:16that this structure can no longer protect
02:12:19the current international order or heal
02:12:22the ruptures in the international system, and it has not been able to do so.
02:12:25It will probably be a reform-centric agenda item.
02:12:29Along with this, I believe that Turkey will also give serious messages
02:12:32regarding the crises around our foreign policy priorities.
02:12:36Of course, these General Assembly messages, as you know,
02:12:40the Turkish House, right across from Turkey, has become a diplomacy center
02:12:44as much as the General Assembly." And Mr. President holds very serious bilateral meetings there
02:12:47every time. The really critical
02:12:50point, in my opinion, is that Mr. President will deliver
02:12:54very valuable messages to the world there, but bilateral meetings are always
02:12:57more valuable, sir. It seems
02:13:01that Mr. President's visit to America has three pillars.
02:13:05The first is his speech at the United Nations General Assembly.
02:13:09The second is bilateral contacts, as you said.
02:13:12The third is the meetings that will be held and participated in.
02:13:16In terms of bilateral contacts, there is always
02:13:19a very rich range, and as you said,
02:13:22the Turkish House has truly become
02:13:25one of the important centers of diplomacy within
02:13:29the agenda of this General Assembly. What do you expect regarding
02:13:33that diplomatic traffic? Well, as our esteemed
02:13:37reporter just mentioned, Mr. President has held
02:13:40more than 60 meetings with
02:13:42his counterparts during the year. This is a very significant
02:13:45number, meaning we see the weight of Turkish diplomacy here.
02:13:49In this sense, having such a busy agenda
02:13:52and such an intense relationship with counterparts
02:13:56is not a diplomatic traffic that every state encounters.
02:13:59having such a place right next to the New York General Assembly
02:14:02is very good, and other states
02:14:06also have demands in this direction, as you know. For example,
02:14:10we know that Mahmoud Abbas of Palestine also held meetings there.
02:14:13Therefore, having such a place
02:14:16where one can easily and quickly exchange
02:14:18views with other state representatives
02:14:22is very valuable. Look, we listed this crisis circle
02:14:25around Turkey, but this is only
02:14:28one part of the job. For example, Turkey also has a very significant
02:14:32presence in Africa and has very intense relations
02:14:35with African states. Now, going on an African tour
02:14:39requires significant time
02:14:43and intensity, so there might be a mismatch of dates.
02:14:46But at the United Nations, while the General Assembly is ongoing,
02:14:50the Turkish House can be a place where you can meet
02:14:54with more than five African leaders.
02:14:57Therefore, in terms of both the intensity of the agenda
02:15:00and the easier establishment of bilateral relations, Turkey has become a place
02:15:04that will conduct a very heavy diplomatic traffic.
02:15:08But serious results can emerge from this, because Mr. President
02:15:11is a leader who can achieve more results in bilateral meetings,
02:15:15and perhaps this year, as in last year's Gaza Peace Council,
02:15:19there might be discussions on the Iran or Russia
02:15:22issue, or the Yemen issue, or, as you know,
02:15:26as in the Mecca Defense Agreement, between Turkey,
02:15:28Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Yes, Mr. President
02:15:32is a leader who can establish much warmer bilateral relations
02:15:35beyond the cold and distant style of diplomacy.
02:15:39As you said, the results
02:15:55What comments or expectations do you have regarding the framework of the speech?
02:15:58First of all, from the rostrum of the United Nations,
02:16:02it must always be remembered that the current system is not working,
02:16:05how the current situation should actually be resolved,
02:16:09how the United Nations system has become dormant,
02:16:12and especially which crisis
02:16:15points in the world are being ignored.
02:16:18Turkey draws attention to these points
02:16:21and constantly emphasizes this in all international platforms.
02:16:25It is in front of everyone's eyes, but especially
02:16:28in the United Nations, Turkey and Mr. President
02:16:32constantly underline and draw attention to many important points
02:16:36with maps in hand. Now,
02:16:39in this speech, as in previous ones,
02:16:43there are many unresolved problems, and the need for a modification
02:16:46related to the system is evident. Because,
02:16:50as my professor explained, we know that the United Nations'
02:16:53current system and its system over all this time
02:16:57have regulated. But the question mark
02:17:01in everyone's mind, and
02:17:04here, everyone who is concerned
02:17:07about all these global issues,
02:17:10about humanitarian crises,
02:17:14is this: The United Nations
02:17:17is not working right now. There is a decision-making
02:17:20mechanism within the United Nations
02:17:24that revolves around these five decision-making
02:17:27countries, and it is a system that
02:17:30is only activated when their interests are at stake.
02:17:34The current system cannot find a solution
02:17:37to any crisis, it cannot heal
02:17:41any wound, it remains ineffective.
02:17:45We have seen this in all the crises up to now.
02:17:48It has been subjected to very harsh criticism, of course. The fact that it responds late,
02:17:52or that when there is a conflict in the interests
02:17:55of these five permanent members, "no real step
02:17:58is taken, no real decision is made,
02:18:02actually shows how much the system
02:18:05needs to be modified right now. Turkey constantly says this in all its speeches.
02:18:09I think Mr. President will also give messages
02:18:13regarding the deadlock here in the upcoming speech,
02:18:16and especially regarding the deadlock in the Gaza issue,
02:18:19the unresolved nature of the Gaza issue, and the reasons
02:18:22why "steps cannot
02:18:25actually be taken, and what can be done
02:18:28to truly change the situation here.
02:18:32and the Russia-Ukraine messages will come
02:18:35on many points. But of course,
02:18:39unfortunately, Gaza is not the only issue right now.
02:18:43There are many problems, many global issues, many humanitarian crises
02:18:46that are still ongoing. As you know, we are in
02:18:50unresolved processes, we are talking about
02:18:53unresolved wars. Unfortunately, diplomatic tables
02:18:57cannot be effectively established, or even if they are established,
02:19:00they are somehow broken. Even if they are established,
02:19:04we see that they remain under the influence of other
02:19:07factors so that no solution emerges.
02:19:10There will definitely be a call regarding
02:19:14the current issues and crises. Besides Gaza,
02:19:17many humanitarian crises continue. As you know, there are ongoing
02:19:21processes in Yemen. There are very big problems
02:19:24in Africa. Besides Africa,
02:19:27alongside humanitarian crises, there are many issues
02:19:31that the current system cannot solve and that diplomacy
02:19:35cannot solve, or where many promises
02:19:38are made to solve them, and where the crisis is further
02:19:41escalated by other countries that offer mediation,
02:19:45like the USA. We can expect
02:19:49many topics and many points regarding bringing peace
02:19:52Abbas solutions or finding
02:19:56a middle ground
02:20:15high-level discussions will see high-level participation
02:20:19from 190 countries. 73
02:20:23heads of state, 45.
02:20:33We continue. The discussions
02:20:37will take place between September 22-28.
02:20:40The agenda for next week has already been clarified.
02:20:44Next week, we will frequently discuss
02:20:48the UN General Assembly discussions and bilateral contacts, meetings.
02:20:51The theme of the summit is also important and very significant.
02:20:54I want to get a comment from Ferhat Murat in this context.
02:20:58Rebuilding trust, managing transformation,
02:21:02a UN that delivers results for everyone.
02:21:04Yes.
02:21:07Meetings will be held. Climate crisis
02:21:10is important, the fight against
02:21:13climate crisis is important, and Turkey also has
02:21:17words to say here. With the Zero Waste project,
02:21:20Turkey has branded itself, and the COP31 summit
02:21:23will also be on the agenda. Sustainable development,
02:21:27pandemic preparedness, the complete elimination of nuclear
02:21:31weapons, and the genocide in Gaza,
02:21:34the US-Iran conflict,
02:21:45areas. Yes, Ferhat Murat, isn't
02:21:48the topic very significant? What do the UN General Assembly
02:21:52discussions tell us? It is a self-criticism,
02:21:55that is, rebuilding trust. There is lost trust,
02:21:59and we must be in an approach that produces solutions
02:22:03for everyone, not just for the five members.
02:22:06I understand. That is, if they are sincere.
02:22:10But we have seen that the United Nations,
02:22:13in many humanitarian crises,
02:22:16especially the Gaza issue, has not taken any action
02:22:20when the interests of those five countries
02:22:22do not coincide, when their interests are not involved.
02:22:25But on the other hand, we have seen that when there is a different
02:22:29situation, the United Nations takes action.
02:22:32For example, in Cyprus,
02:22:35when a road was to be opened to a Turkish village,
02:22:39the United Nations immediately intervened with the peacekeeping
02:22:42force. And there,
02:22:45it was a matter of fulfilling a humanitarian
02:22:49need. But in Gaza,
02:22:52unfortunately, even though its own
02:22:56personnel lost their lives, we are faced with the fact that
02:22:59no concrete action was taken. Of course,
02:23:03President Erdoğan repeatedly put forward the mottos
02:23:06"the world is bigger than five" and "a fairer world is possible",
02:23:10and this
02:23:12also emphasized the ineffectiveness of the UN.
02:23:16Now, the fact that the United Nations
02:23:19itself comes up with this theme
02:23:23raises the question of whether these statements
02:23:26will actually lead to such a process to eliminate
02:23:30the ineffectiveness of the United Nations, perhaps as a self-criticism.
02:23:33Frankly, am I very hopeful?
02:23:37Unfortunately, I would like to be hopeful,
02:23:41but I am not very hopeful. But on the other hand,
02:23:44of course, there are other problems
02:23:48that the world is facing that will be on the agenda.
02:23:51What message will Mr. President give in his speech?
02:23:54Let's get your opinion. Of course, Mr. President
02:23:58has regularly emphasized the Gaza issue
02:24:02and the Palestine issue since 2007,
02:24:052009, 2011, and 2014. This is very important,
02:24:08and a large part of his speeches in the last two years
02:24:12was dedicated to this. And besides this,
02:24:16as my dear professors just stated, he also emphasized
02:24:18the ineffectiveness of the United Nations' structure
02:24:21and the need to make it more functional. Here,
02:24:25besides the Gaza issue, the issue of recognizing
02:24:29the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is also expected
02:24:32to be brought up by Mr. Erdoğan, in accordance with the motto,
02:24:35Artificial Intelligence. Also, as you just mentioned,
02:24:38we will be hosting the UN Climate Summit
02:24:42COP31 this year in Antalya
02:24:46in November, and there will certainly
02:24:48be a section in his speech
02:24:52about this. Again,
02:24:56I anticipate that Mr. President will offer concrete
02:24:59suggestions and an encouraging approach
02:25:02regarding the steps that need to be taken against
02:25:05Israel by UN members or countries
02:25:08that stand with humanity,
02:25:12and that he will include these in his speech.
02:25:16And again, if you look,
02:25:19when we evaluate the speeches of the Heads of Government
02:25:23after every United Nations Summit,
02:25:26Mr. President's speech stands out as the most impactful
02:25:29speech, not only in Turkey but throughout the world.
02:25:32You will remember the atrocity in Gaza
02:25:36with photographs.
02:25:43I think he will emphasize
02:25:47these points, supported by visuals, as you mentioned,
02:25:50and that he will also bring up
02:25:53the crisis points in the world,
02:25:57from the Russia-Ukraine war
02:25:59to the Gaza issue and the crises in Africa.
02:26:03And again, as I just mentioned,
02:26:06I think he will definitely bring up the Northern
02:26:10Cyprus issue. I am a bit focused
02:26:13on the issue of joint steps to be taken
02:26:16against Israel. How will the presidents
02:26:20and officials of other countries
02:26:23react to them? The issue of Turkey
02:26:27is truly a source of pride for us every year.
02:26:31We might only come across it when the United Nations
02:26:34is in session, but it also provides a great service
02:26:38to our Turkish citizens throughout the year.
02:26:41Now, when we see that other countries ask the question,
02:26:44"Why couldn't we have a similar vision to Turkey's?"
02:26:48we see how important this situation is.
02:26:52But the opposition criticized it a lot at the time,
02:26:55you remember. Let's also make a note of that
02:26:58and remind them. Now, sir,
02:27:01we can open up the Gaza issue at this stage. This agenda actually started
02:27:05with America not granting a visa
02:27:08to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
02:27:11to attend the UN General Assembly. This can actually
02:27:15be called a very serious inconsistency.
02:27:18However, Benjamin Netanyahu will attend the General Assembly.
02:27:21will not.
02:27:24Now, when we look at the situation,
02:27:27despite the ceasefire declared on October 10, 2025,
02:27:31the Israeli genocide did not stop. The number of Palestinians
02:27:34massacred since October 7 has exceeded 70,000.
02:27:38Another very dramatic figure is that 2 million
02:27:41Gazans were forcibly displaced. And
02:27:45now, will this whole picture
02:27:49be questioned? The debris could not be removed.
02:27:53Access to drinking water and food,
02:27:55hospitals, educational areas,
02:27:58all are problems in Gaza.
02:28:01Life is really progressing
02:28:04through very difficult processes. There's no need to look
02:28:08at it in too much detail. You just gave the simple
02:28:12title: Rebuilding trust. Sub-heading: Netanyahu is invited,
02:28:15Mahmoud Abbas is not invited,
02:28:19denied a visa. "That's exactly the UN's problem.
02:28:23There is a structure that wants to rebuild trust,
02:28:25but the same structure that maintains
02:28:28its dual stance every time
02:28:32emerges. Therefore, as long as the UN's
02:28:36dual inconsistency continues, its credibility
02:28:39is already being questioned in all international
02:28:42circles. And rising powers are constantly
02:28:46pointing out the problem here while trying to re-establish
02:28:49and reorganize their place in this distribution of power.
02:28:53Remember last year, Mr. President frequently
02:28:56emphasized the issue of UN reform in his speech.
02:29:00But there is also a positive aspect. For example,
02:29:04regarding your question about Gaza, you will remember that the foundations
02:29:07of the Gaza Peace Council were laid when Mr. President
02:29:11and Trump sat side by side, with other actors in the Middle East
02:29:14sitting around them, and a summit was held in Egypt
02:29:18in October to actually initiate
02:29:20this Gaza Peace Council process.
02:29:28because of its continuation, it actually disturbs
02:29:31all states, especially non-Western
02:29:35states. There is a situation that deeply disturbs them,
02:29:39because the dual structure constantly
02:29:42works in favor of Israel. Because there is an American foreign policy
02:29:45that constantly protects and supports Israel,
02:29:48and the fact that this American foreign policy is actually at the center
02:29:52of the United Nations, we see its manifestation
02:29:55here in the establishment of the entire world order
02:29:58and the international liberal order structure after 1945.
02:30:02Therefore, while America
02:30:05takes steps in favor of Israel and constantly takes a stance
02:30:09against Palestine, other states naturally
02:30:12react here. But the thing is,
02:30:16especially when the United Nations Security Council
02:30:20does not take any stance
02:30:22or voice against the genocide
02:30:26in Gaza or in favor of Gaza,
02:30:29states' own solutions come into play.
02:30:32Look, many states in Europe recognized Palestine.
02:30:36Yes, I think one of Mr. President's agenda items
02:30:40will also be this: the recognition of the Palestinian
02:30:43state and its position in the General Assembly
02:30:46in terms of representation. We need to state clearly
02:30:50that Turkey is one of the actors that brings the Palestinian
02:30:54cause to the agenda and expresses it most
02:30:58in the General Assembly. Therefore,
02:31:01he will openly state in the General Assembly that there is a genocide
02:31:04in Gaza and that Israel's aggression,
02:31:08look, Mr. Ferhat mentioned the incident in Cyprus. 70,000 people
02:31:12were massacred, and not a single step was taken
02:31:15by the United Nations Security Council to condemn Israel or
02:31:19against Israel, or to stop Israeli attacks.
02:31:22Therefore, this dualistic attitude
02:31:26constantly comes before us. In Gaza,
02:31:29a full year has passed from 2025 to 2026.
02:31:4011 months have passed, In the attack, 5
02:31:43children died, and within a year, nearly a thousand people, even more
02:31:47than a thousand, lost their lives. Let alone stopping
02:31:50Israeli aggression. The United Nations,
02:31:54we see this especially often in Lebanon.
02:31:57The United Nations has points there, you know,
02:32:01it even includes that area.
02:32:11Therefore, there is no commitment to a ceasefire in Gaza
02:32:14by the United Nations, but a serious
02:32:17pressure can be put on the American government
02:32:21in a general assembly speech to prevent Israel's
02:32:24aggression in Gaza. Perhaps some pressure
02:32:27can be exerted, but this is, of course,
02:32:31extremely difficult for America. Maintaining the ceasefire is important
02:32:34because the ceasefire is constantly being violated.
02:32:37And since it's an election period, Netanyahu's government is constantly
02:32:41seeking provocations. Look, today again, there was a provocation
02:32:44against the Burak Wall. Every day, as the election
02:32:48approaches, perhaps we should openly say this, Ms. Betül.
02:32:52Perhaps we will face a very serious Netanyahu
02:32:55provocation at the United Nations General Assembly
02:32:58because there is an election in just one month.
02:33:02And Netanyahu is constantly seeking a global provocation
02:33:05to consolidate his base. The expectations regarding Turkey
02:33:09from his statements
02:33:11are even higher
02:33:13because he has lost momentum. He has become very aggressive recently.
02:33:17Look, today's Burak Wall issue is a result of this aggression.
02:33:20Perhaps we may face
02:33:24a similar provocation in the General Assembly
02:33:27or within the scope of the United Nations.
02:33:30"Perhaps next week we might be discussing this issue.
02:33:33Well, now, Yeliz Albayrak, let's
02:33:37look at the US-Iran
02:33:40war. It has dragged on quite a bit, and the crisis,
02:33:43I mean, it has gone beyond Hormuz. However, at the current stage,
02:33:47within the framework of the UN General Assembly
02:33:50discussions, the US granted visas to Iranian
02:33:54officials. So, can this be considered a green light?
02:33:57Will any outcome
02:34:00emerge in this context? For what? Uh-huh.
02:34:04Frankly, as I mentioned earlier, we are going through
02:34:07a period of frozen and unresolved wars and crises.
02:34:10It's very difficult
02:34:14of US policies here right now, because Trump's policies,
02:34:17Trump's actions, especially regarding this Iran issue,
02:34:21we always talk about how Israel draws the US
02:34:24into it, different scenarios, yes, but
02:34:28in terms of solutions, in terms of an exit,
02:34:31or in terms of discussions, unfortunately, we don't see
02:34:35very clear messages. Because if you take Trump as a basis,
02:34:38in terms of statements, one day he says this war will end,
02:34:42it will end very soon, especially after the midterm elections,
02:34:45while the next day he says, "Actually, I am
02:34:49at a very important decision-making stage." Especially today,
02:34:53he has such a message that very important things
02:34:56could happen, and he makes statements that raise tension
02:35:00again. If you look at all these
02:35:03rhetoric chronologically, after very harsh messages
02:35:07like "I can wipe out Iran, I can destroy all civilization,"
02:35:10the next day he says, "Our officials want to
02:35:13meet with us. Actually, this issue can be solved
02:35:17very quickly, in a very short time. Let's name the Strait
02:35:20of Hormuz the American Strait. Let's shape the regime
02:35:24there according to our own. When you place it
02:35:27in such a sharp, very marginal framework,
02:35:31we see that we are in a process that does
02:35:34not provide a clear roadmap or a clear solution.
02:35:38Now, will they attend the United Nations, or not, what kind of developments
02:35:42will happen there? We will, of course, follow all of these, but
02:35:45the main issue is whether there is a possibility
02:35:48of a larger attack starting after this midterm election period,
02:35:52and unfortunately, the statements being made,
02:35:55the calls being made regarding the region,
02:35:58or any logical
02:36:02discussions that can be logically confirmed and verified by Iran
02:36:05in a positive direction, there is unfortunately
02:36:09no information or data on this yet.
02:36:12So, we need to look at
02:36:15the points of contact here, at what level
02:36:19they can come together, because, yes,
02:36:21diplomatic relations at the leader level
02:36:25are very important. Of course, many meetings
02:36:28can also take place in Turkey, which is very important.
02:36:32Very quick results can be given. Many frozen issues,
02:36:35many unresolved issues
02:36:39But when we look at
02:36:42the US-Iran issue, unfortunately, we see
02:36:46that there are many gray areas regarding who is meeting
02:36:50with whom, who is being addressed, or how decision-making
02:36:54mechanisms fully operate. This also makes us wonder
02:36:57whether the US is preparing
02:37:00for a larger attack, or whether it views this
02:37:03as a temporary period. After these elections,
02:37:06Trump actually has another agenda. Their backdoor diplomacy
02:37:10continues, and perhaps they are just using this
02:37:14as a pressure mechanism, like "we can attack,
02:37:17we are ready, we are not backing down."
02:37:20Perhaps Trump and the Trump administration do not
02:37:24want to lose this advantage or psychological
02:37:27superiority, or they haven't produced a success story
02:37:30yet. Are they producing rhetoric to that end,
02:37:34and is another process continuing in the background?
02:37:37Even if you think this, there is no clear
02:37:40statement from Iran on this right now. We know
02:37:43the Revolutionary Guards are currently...
02:37:57As I just said, can this be a green light? Of course it can, but do we have something in reality
02:38:00that will quickly respond and quickly produce a solution on the ground? No,
02:38:03we don't have a clear map, unfortunately. Well, Ferhat Murat, when we look
02:38:07at it now, the US-Iran
02:38:11tension has also spilled over to the Red Sea, and
02:38:15the situation there has largely changed in favor
02:38:18of the Houthis. Now, if
02:38:21a development occurs between the US and Iran,
02:38:25will it happen first? Please comment on that briefly.
02:38:28And then, where will Yemen
02:38:32stand, and what are your expectations
02:38:35regarding Bab-el-Mandeb and Hormuz? Where will the Houthis stand?
02:38:38Perhaps that's how we should ask. Now,
02:38:42if there was a consensus
02:38:45that a development would occur,
02:38:48it would probably have happened since February 28th.
02:38:51I mean, frankly, I don't see
02:38:55two sides trying to make the process constructive,
02:38:58unfortunately. And this has actually caused
02:39:02regional crises to reach a global dimension,
02:39:05and we see that it has emerged
02:39:08in a different point, increasing its dose
02:39:11instead of decreasing it. For example, the Houthi attacks
02:39:15on Saudi Arabia from Yemen.
02:39:19When you look at it, the closure of the Red Sea,
02:39:22especially access to the Gulf of Aden
02:39:26through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, which significantly
02:39:29increases oil prices worldwide (it affected Turkey's inflation by 7 points,
02:39:33and similarly in Europe and America), and the addition of the Gulf of Aden
02:39:37and Bab-el-Mandeb to this,
02:39:40has brought a serious crisis before us. Because
02:39:43one-third of the world's oil transportation
02:39:46by sea, and one-quarter of the total,
02:39:49meaning that out of 100 units of oil,
02:39:5375 can be accessed, and 25 cannot. If it's by sea,
02:39:57the fact that access to the Red Sea
02:40:00is blocked, especially through the Gulf of Aden
02:40:03and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and in addition to this,
02:40:07the Houthis attacking the East-West oil pipeline
02:40:11of Saudi Arabia's Aramco company
02:40:14has already put the Suez Canal out of commission.
02:40:17In fact, this has brought us
02:40:20to an even lower level than the 75%
02:40:22I mentioned earlier. We see that Brent
02:40:26oil prices have reached almost 120 dollars,
02:40:30and this is truly reaching an unbearable
02:40:33level. Does it need to be resolved? Yes,
02:40:37in fact, for the world to be rid of this global risk,
02:40:40it needs to be resolved, but I don't see
02:40:44such a constructive approach.
02:40:53the Houthis attacking Saudi Arabia, and Iran, again, targeting Arab
02:40:56countries at the beginning of the war,
02:40:59actually leads to the continuation
02:41:03of the chaos in that region. This brings us
02:41:06to the question of who benefits the most
02:41:10from this. Perhaps we should leave the answer to our viewers,
02:41:13but will this result in a complete
02:41:17satisfaction for the Islamic geography, or will we see a situation
02:41:21where the Islamic geography is fragmented?
02:41:24Uh-huh. From this perspective,
02:41:28the fact that last week the holy shrines
02:41:31were also under serious threat,
02:41:35or that the ground is being prepared
02:41:38for false-flag operations, Israel could also carry
02:41:41out a false-flag operation there. Unfortunately,
02:41:45the possibility of this causing a new chaos
02:41:48among Islamic countries is among the realities
02:41:52we are experiencing. Therefore,
02:41:55frankly, I cannot be optimistic about the resolution
02:41:59of this process, because until now,
02:42:02very serious crises have emerged. Gas prices in America
02:42:06have almost increased by 100%. In Europe,
02:42:09there are also serious problems
02:42:12with access to energy. Iran, on the other hand,
02:42:16while wanting to go through a process of internal
02:42:20repair, is taking it slow, and the different structures
02:42:23there are engaging in different behaviors, which weakens this expectation.
02:42:27But there is a small possibility, as you mentioned earlier,
02:42:31that granting a visa to Iran might cause other countries
02:42:34to accelerate their contacts with Iran and perhaps
02:42:38put this process on hold. Maybe it could be
02:42:41a sign. Well, let's talk about another issue, Professor.
02:42:45The Russia-Ukraine war, a major crisis that has been
02:42:48ongoing for 5 years, will undoubtedly be on the agenda
02:42:52of the UN General Assembly. Will it enter a new
02:42:55phase with the diplomacy of the leaders?
02:42:59The Russia-Ukraine war? Before that, let me just say this: I just looked,
02:43:03before coming to the program, Trump had made a statement
02:43:06that he could meet with Pezeshkian. Of course,
02:43:10how much Pezeshkian represents the real
02:43:14negotiation thing in Iran,
02:43:17or how much influence he has,
02:43:21it's a matter of debate, but even if there's no meeting, it can still constitute
02:43:24an important ground. As for the Ukraine
02:43:28issue, it is the most important
02:43:31point that the Trump administration wants to achieve as a diplomatic
02:43:35success to sell to the domestic public before the elections.
02:43:39You know, first, the SA president visited
02:43:42two capitals, then Steve Witkoff and
02:43:45Kushner's team held meetings in both
02:43:49Moscow and Kyiv. Here,
02:43:52at least in economic terms,
02:43:55they are striving for a situation similar
02:43:58to a ceasefire, such as not attacking
02:44:02these economic structures and oil refineries. But
02:44:06in these matters, especially in such processes,
02:44:09we remember from many past experiences
02:44:13that Russia makes very serious moves. That is,
02:44:16before such critical diplomatic negotiations, Russia
02:44:20has always made moves and tried to use these moves
02:44:24at the diplomatic table. I expect a move from Russia
02:44:28before the United Nations Security Council
02:44:31or general assembly summit. On the ground, like gaining territory, right?
02:44:34It could be territory or an intense attack, we don't know,
02:44:38but one thing we are sure of is that Russia
02:44:42has the upper hand in the Donbas region,
02:44:45and it does not see itself in a position to take any steps back.
02:44:48It feels comfortable in that regard. It doesn't think Ukraine
02:44:52can resist much either, from their perspective, of course, these are
02:44:55the actors' own perspectives. But we need to say this:
02:44:59both actors are trying to figure out how much of the war's cost
02:45:03they can endure, because as the war drags on,
02:45:06economic costs and other obligations increase significantly.
02:45:10Ukraine is a dependent country, dependent on
02:45:13both Europe's and the US's economic and financial support, as well as
02:45:17arms support. But Russia is seriously having problems
02:45:21using its own resources, but it has more
02:45:24advantages than Ukraine in this regard.
02:45:27As long as these economic costs are sustained, Russia cannot
02:45:30easily back down. But I think both actors are trying
02:45:34to give Trump something to make his hand easier,
02:45:37and then continue the main negotiation process
02:45:41by getting Trump's support.
02:45:43I think the one who gives Trump what he needs
02:45:47now will be more
03:00:21York. We may have connections,
03:00:25we are watching. Besides that, there were elections in two
03:00:28states in Germany. AFD is rising.
03:00:32The prime ministers described the results as a disaster.
03:00:35The situation is not good. Our other
03:00:38headlines:
03:00:41Europe is talking about war in a very
03:00:44intense way. It claims to be under hybrid
03:00:48attack and there is constant activity. So,
03:00:51they haven't declared mobilization in Europe yet, but they are almost
03:00:55there. We need to look at it.
