00:00:00until we meet again. Stay well. President Erdoğan made statements after the cabinet meeting. There were quite critical topics at this meeting. President Erdoğan evaluated both domestic and foreign developments. He especially touched upon the latest situation regarding the fund investigation. He said that the fund issue would be resolved quickly. He underlined that legal action was taken against 282 people. He stated that they aimed to manage the process fairly without using public resources. He said that the rights and laws of the nation are their red line. The İŞKUR Youth Program was also one of the topics in President Erdoğan's statement after the cabinet meeting. He stated that the quota was increased to 150 thousand and that 3 million young people would be supported in 3 years. Another topic was urban transformation. President Erdoğan pointed out that 1 million 7 thousand independent sections were transformed in Istanbul and also called for quick action in urban transformation. He said, "Act without delay." He also pointed out that all municipalities, regardless of party, should take responsibility in this regard. Of course, President Erdoğan's agenda also included developments abroad and in the world. He said, "I wish God's mercy upon our deceased brothers and sisters, including those who were performing Umrah." President Erdoğan referred to the attack in Riyadh. He stated that they strongly condemned these attacks. The problem he noticed during his Hajj journey became a turning point in his professional life. Turkish sound engineer Ahmet Tekin Topuzdağ carried out important work on the sound systems of the two holiest shrines in the Islamic world. His story, which began in the Masjid an-Nabawi, extended to the worship of millions of Muslims. Topuzdağ told the quarter-century of his services in the Haram only to TRT News reporter Dilruba Hamile. Sound has been a passion for me since I was born. I have loved beautiful sound as long as I can remember. I build a bridge of hearts with sound. Turkish sound engineer Ahmet Tekin Topuzdağ, there is a Turkish engineer's effort in making the adhans and Quranic recitations that echo in places where millions of Muslims gather in the same row more understandable. "We are in the Süleymaniye Mosque. This is my school. I learned Islamic sound here in this acoustics. Therefore, this is my school and my teacher is Architect Sinan." Every sound rising in Süleymaniye gains a different meaning under the dome. Quran recitations, adhans, and prayers are spread not just to be heard, but to reach hearts. Architect Sinan in this great mosque also treated sound as a part of the architecture. Centuries passed, technology changed, but the meaning of sound in mosques did not change. Today, Ahmet Tekin Topuzdağ also carries the same responsibility in large places of worship in different geographies. The goal was to deliver the word in the most accurate way, rather than just amplifying the sound. Ahmet Tekin Topuzdağ's story began with his Hajj pilgrimage in 1997. While worshiping in the Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, he noticed echoes and distortions in the sound system. He met with the authorities to solve the problem, and then he was given the opportunity to work. What he said was, "Allah sent you to us. I know you came for worship, but if possible, can you also work on the other sides?" they asked me. As a result, after 2.5-3 months of effort, I brought clarity to the sound system of the entire Masjid an-Nabawi. He made arrangements that reduced the echo and made the words more understandable. He dedicated years to these efforts. He said, "I am making you the manager of the sound systems of Masjid an-Nabawi." He said, "I am also making you the manager of the sound systems of the Kaaba." He said, "I gave you so much authority that I cannot appoint a manager over you, so you are responsible to Allah." And he said this was in 1997. The zoning plan prepared to extend tourism to 12 months in Uludağ, one of Turkey's important winter tourism centers, has entered into force. Many regulations, such as safe pedestrian paths and cultural facilities, and preventing uncontrolled parking use, will be implemented. Turkey's important winter tourism center is preparing to serve for four seasons. In Uludağ, the aim is to extend tourism to 12 months. The zoning plan prepared by the Uludağ Area Directorate affiliated with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has entered into force. Within the scope of the plan, regulations were made to prevent uncontrolled parking use. An approximately 4-kilometer pedestrian path separated from the highway was created. With the new planning, existing accommodation facility areas were reduced and reorganized. Two hotels and their surroundings, totaling 6,100 square meters, which were previously evacuated, were defined as cultural facility areas. Demolition work in these areas has been completed. In addition to these, a 19-hectare open sports area was designated for four-season tourism. Structures that pose a risk to life and property will be removed after necessary detection and legal procedures. Uncontrolled construction and practices that threaten pedestrian safety will be prevented. With the zoning plan, it is aimed to protect the natural and cultural values of Uludağ. Hello everyone, good evening. I am here with Hot News. Of course, there were important headlines of the day at this meeting.
00:00:04The calendar is running in the process of strengthening
00:00:07national solidarity and social integration. A new step was
00:00:11taken towards the goal of a Türkiye without terrorism.
00:00:13According to information obtained from security sources, the PKK terrorist organization evacuated
00:00:17four shelters in northern Iraq. The shelters
00:00:20evacuated as of October 8 are located in the Baze region

00:00:27Security sources stated that this development is an indication that the process is continuing
00:00:30with determination. They announced that the aim is to end the terrorist organization's
00:00:33activities in all areas. They noted
00:00:37that the ongoing efforts are aimed at achieving
00:00:40peace.
00:00:43With the success of the process, it is aimed to strengthen social unity
00:00:46and solidarity on the basis of brotherhood. It is aimed
00:00:49to reinforce the atmosphere of peace throughout the country. It is stated
00:00:53that the steps taken will also contribute
00:00:55to regional stability.
00:01:00Meanwhile, the Cabinet met under the chairmanship of President Erdoğan. There are
00:01:04critical topics, we will get the details. Ahmet Furkan
00:01:07Arvas will convey these topics. Gülçin
00:01:10Üstüncan, the cabinet meeting has been going on for more than 3 hours
00:01:14under the chairmanship of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Beştepe.
00:01:18There are important topics. In this context, let's underline
00:01:21that one of the priority agenda items is the developments
00:01:24in capital markets. At this point, President Recep Tayyip
00:01:28Erdoğan recently stated in his
00:01:31statement that "we will implement our plan step by step."
00:01:35In this direction, the process regarding the liquidation of funds,
00:01:38especially the work of the Fund Coordination Board, and the liquidation
00:01:42of funds is also being discussed
00:01:46in the cabinet. Of course, another important topic
00:01:49is the efforts carried out towards the goal
00:01:52of a Türkiye without terrorism. At this point, the process
00:01:55of the terrorist organization, which evacuated some shelters
00:01:59in northern Iraq, laying down its arms, is being reviewed.
00:02:02Developments on the ground, military and intelligence reports are being
00:02:06evaluated. In addition, the activities of the National Solidarity
00:02:10and Integration Coordination Board and the steps
00:02:13to be taken in the new term of the Parliament are
00:02:16among the topics discussed in detail in the cabinet. At
00:02:20this point, the stage reached in the process and the
00:02:23next steps are being consulted in the cabinet. There
00:02:26is also a very busy agenda in foreign policy.
00:02:30At this point, there are attacks against Saudi Arabia. While
00:02:33regional and global developments are being evaluated in the cabinet,
00:02:36consultations are also being held regarding the steps
00:02:39taken and planned to be taken in the context
00:02:42of the Mecca alliance. Again, steps that can be taken
00:02:46against Israel's regional aggression are also being evaluated. In
00:02:50addition, the diplomacy traffic carried out to end the Russia-Ukraine
00:02:53War, especially the tension between the United States
00:02:56and Iran, is also being extensively evaluated
00:03:00in the cabinet under the chairmanship of President Erdoğan.
00:03:03The cabinet meeting has been continuing in Beştepe for more
00:03:07than 3 hours. In the coming minutes, after the
00:03:11cabinet meeting is completed, we expect President Erdoğan
00:03:14to appear before the cameras and make statements regarding
00:03:18both the agenda
00:03:19and the topics discussed at the meeting.
00:03:27The 9-article bill prepared by the AK Party regarding
00:03:31the liquidation of funds and payments to investors
00:03:34will be discussed in the Parliament's Plan and Budget
00:03:37Committee on Wednesday. With the temporary regulation, interim
00:03:41payments of up to 1 million liras will be made to investors
00:03:44who meet the conditions. Public
00:03:48funds will not be used for payments. We will never
00:03:51tolerate injustice, illegality,
00:03:55or greed. We are doing and will
00:03:58do whatever is necessary.
00:04:01Fund assets will be liquidated without economic depreciation,
00:04:05and the cash obtained will be distributed fairly
00:04:08to the rightful owners. The 9-article bill
00:04:11submitted by the AK Party to the parliament will
00:04:15be discussed in the Plan and Budget Committee
00:04:17on Wednesday. With the enactment of the proposal,
00:04:20it will be possible to make interim payments
00:04:24to 455,578 investors. In the
00:04:27first stage, up to 1 million liras will be
00:04:30paid per person. Public funds will not be used in payments.
00:04:34When determining the payment amount, the net investment
00:04:38amount, which is based on cash inflows and outflows,
00:04:41will be calculated. The inflation difference will be added to this calculation.
00:04:44A voluntary return mechanism will be created for people
00:04:48who have gained profits based on false fund
00:04:52values. Shares remaining in funds, government
00:04:54bonds, real estate, and assets
00:04:58with material value will be converted into cash
00:05:02by the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund and recovered. This will be used
00:05:06to cover the losses of investors. Those
00:05:09involved in market-disrupting transactions, however, will not receive
00:05:13payments from the recovery account. Portfolio management
00:05:17companies will be responsible for fund losses
00:05:19or insufficient liquidation balances. The bill
00:05:23is expected to come to the General Assembly
00:05:26next week after the
00:05:29commission discussions are completed. We said that the fund

00:09:09for for years. Our President has instructed
00:09:13all ministers to work closely with İzmir and
00:09:16to deal with the city's problems closely.
00:09:20We are already feeling the positive effects of
00:09:24this. In just one day, we held

00:10:47Minister of Interior Mustafa Çiftçi instructed to increase
00:10:51security in schools and to make stricter controls

00:10:57order meeting attended by police and gendarmerie units,
00:11:00Minister Çiftçi emphasized that school security has
00:11:04ceased to be a routine public order
00:11:07issue. He said, "We need to increase measures
00:11:10and make them more visible."

00:11:21gendarmerie units. "Let's assign village guards
00:11:24through the gendarmerie and police officers through the
00:11:27police to schools where needed. In other
00:11:30words, in places where we need to
00:11:34take more measures, they must be at their
00:11:37posts half an hour before the children
00:11:41arrive at school,
00:11:42so that at least
00:11:51security is ensured when the children arrive
00:11:55at school." Minister Çiftçi spoke at the public
00:11:59order meeting. He said that inspections around schools
00:12:02will increase and warned that the measures taken
00:12:06should be made visible. "We must definitely increase
00:12:09our inspections at school entrance and exit
00:12:13times, in abandoned buildings, in service vehicles,
00:12:16and in places where children go. At
00:12:20entrance and exit times, at noon,
00:12:23around schools, we must definitely carry
00:12:26out more operations
00:12:40so that we can show it to the public as well."
00:12:43We are bringing a new development to your screens. Unfortunately,
00:12:47a bus overturned in Afyonkarahisar, dear viewers,
00:12:5125 people were injured. The accident occurred near the Karaadilli town
00:13:33of Şuhut district. A bus
00:13:35overturned into a ditch
00:13:39on the side of the road after the driver
00:13:42lost control for an as yet undetermined
00:13:46reason. According to initial reports, 25 people
00:13:49were injured in the accident, and the injured
00:13:52were taken to hospitals by ambulances that
00:13:56arrived at the scene.
00:13:57Rescue teams are continuing
00:14:02their work in the region. It was reported
00:14:05that the condition of some of the injured
00:14:08is serious. Ukraine pointed to President
00:14:12Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for peace with Russia.
00:14:15In a statement from Kyiv, it was stated
00:14:18that Ukrainian President Zelensky could meet with
00:14:22Russian President Vladimir Putin with Erdoğan's mediation.
00:14:25He stated that it should be done again.
00:14:28The ceasefire announced by US President Trump
00:14:32between Moscow and Kyiv,
00:14:33covering energy infrastructure,
00:14:36is also on Ukraine's agenda. Ukrainian President
00:14:40Zelensky said they were waiting to see the
00:14:43details of the agreement. He stated that Russia
00:14:46continues to attack energy infrastructure.
00:14:49We welcome the agreement. Unfortunately, Russian drones
00:14:52were in the air throughout the day and
00:14:57are still in the air. It should be
00:15:00noted with sadness that attacks using guided
00:15:03aerial bombs also occurred. There were also
00:15:07attacks on our energy
00:15:09infrastructure.
00:15:14Despite the energy ceasefire news, Russia attacked
00:15:17Ukraine's oil company Naftogaz facilities. A
00:15:20fire broke out at the facility. 12 people
00:15:24were injured in other
00:15:37attacks in Kharkiv. The Kremlin did not
00:15:41provide details on the ceasefire. It said,
00:15:45"Contacts are ongoing, we will share information
00:15:48when necessary." Ukraine's
00:15:49request for a 60-day
00:15:53full ceasefire to hold presidential elections
00:15:56in the country was rejected. The statement
00:16:00"We want permanent peace, not a ceasefire" was
00:16:03used. British Prime Minister
00:16:07Andy Burnham claimed that Russia interfered in the
00:16:092016 Brexit referendum.
00:16:13Burnham warned that similar attempts could target France
00:16:16and Germany, which will soon go to the
00:16:20polls. British Prime Minister
00:16:23Andy Burnham made
00:16:24a confession-like statement.
00:16:29In a program he attended, he said that
00:16:32when he took office in July, he asked
00:16:36his advisors if Russia
00:16:38had interfered in the
00:16:41Brexit referendum. And the clear
00:16:44answer I got was yes.
00:16:48Burnham also warned France and Germany,
00:16:51which will soon go to the polls. He
00:16:55said that voters in these countries could also
00:16:58face similar Moscow-backed attempts.
00:17:02The parliamentary committee reported in 2020 that
00:17:04the government and intelligence
00:17:08did not investigate Russian interference. The then Johnson
00:17:11government refused to conduct a new investigation,
00:17:14saying there was no evidence of successful interference.
00:17:18It is commented that
00:17:20Burnham's statement could
00:17:22lead to Brexit being re-debated.
00:17:25An assassination threat against the Prime Minister
00:17:29and Minister of Defense in Poland is on
00:17:33the agenda, dear viewers. The Polish Ministry of
00:17:36Interior announced that one
00:17:58person has been detained based on information received
00:18:01regarding a possible attack. Poland is talking about
00:18:05an assassination threat against

00:18:19Interior made the statement. It was reported that
00:18:22information was received about a possible attack against
00:18:26Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Minister of
00:18:30Defense Vladislav Kochinyak Camiz. Security units were mobilized.
00:18:33It was stated that Prime Minister Tusk was also informed about the
00:19:07threat. Polish media wrote that the assassination threat
00:19:10was sent via e-mail. Prime Minister Tusk also
00:19:13made a post on
00:19:22social media. He announced that a person who
00:19:25made an assassination threat was detained. He said,
00:19:29"I thank the police officers for their quick
00:19:32and decisive intervention."
00:19:34NATO announced its new
00:20:04response will be made. The theory of victory
00:20:07aims to protect the Euro-Atlantic region and deter
00:20:10threats. It is also in line with the
00:20:13alliance's general strategy.
00:20:24that the theory of victory was also designed
00:20:28in this context. Grinkevich also shared the details.
00:20:32In this context, he first stated that the
00:20:34attack was prevented, its effect was broken
00:20:50"It will never happen because we will constantly
00:20:54force them into defense before they
00:20:58even think of making a move against
00:21:00our alliance." Dear viewers, the Presidential
00:21:03Cabinet Meeting held under the chairmanship of

00:23:26the new legislative year will be
00:23:30beneficial for our country, our nation,
00:23:32our democracy, and our political parties.
00:23:35I hope that the legislative activities
00:23:39to be carried out under the roof of our
00:23:43Parliament will continue in a democratic
00:23:46maturity without resorting to the vulgarity
00:23:50we witnessed on the first day.
00:23:54On October 3rd, we were guests
00:23:56of our brothers and sisters from
00:24:00Şanlıurfa. We shared
00:24:16completed. We saw once again there that the future
00:24:20of Turkey is rising in the
00:24:24hands of our young people who
00:24:26think, research, produce, and develop their
00:24:29own technology. I congratulate our young
00:24:32people who won awards and placed,
00:24:35and I thank everyone who contributed
00:24:39to the successful organization of this
00:24:42great technology festival in Şanlıurfa. On
00:24:46the same day, we opened the
00:24:49Şanlıurfa City Hospital and its connection roads, which have
00:24:53an investment value of 39 billion
00:24:56liras. We have brought a modern
00:24:58health facility to our city, which
00:25:02will provide first-class health services to
00:25:05the people of Şanlıurfa with its
00:25:09500,000 square meters of indoor area,
00:25:122,000-bed capacity, 451 polyclinic rooms, 6
00:25:15operating rooms, and other units. I
00:25:20wish that our Şanlıurfa City Hospital and other investments
00:25:24will be beneficial, and I extend
00:25:26my congratulations to all our institutions.
00:25:30My dear nation, on October 7th, we attended the
00:25:34opening of the 77th International Astronautical
00:25:36Congress, which Turkey
00:25:56stronger presence in space and to
00:26:00develop our own technology. The production,
00:26:03assembly, and integration phases of the vehicle we developed
00:26:06within the scope of the Lunar
00:26:10Exploration Program have been completed.
00:26:13The system level environmental tests of our vehicle, which
00:26:17weighs 3.5 tons and has a
00:26:20localization rate of over 80%, are
00:26:23continuing. On October 6th, we held
00:26:27the opening of the 2026-2027 Academic
00:26:30Year with a ceremony held in
00:26:32our complex. In the same program,
00:26:36we presented the Council of Higher Education 2026 Outstanding
00:26:40Achievement Awards to their owners. I
00:26:44wish the new academic year to
00:26:47be beneficial for our students, academicians,
00:26:51and the higher education community, and
00:26:54I congratulate the award-winning names. On
00:26:57October 9th, we attended the International
00:27:01Justice Summit held in Istanbul with
00:27:04the theme "Summit of Justice, Common
00:27:08Responsibility for Humanity." It is a
00:27:10fact that today, the geography of crime is no
00:27:14longer limited to the borders of
00:27:18a single country. Whether it is
00:27:21an ordinary criminal, a municipal embezzler,
00:27:24a drug dealer, or a member
00:27:27of a terrorist organization, no one
00:27:30who breaks the law should have
00:27:33peace and comfort anywhere in the
00:27:37world. Our state is on the
00:27:40neck of those who will escape
00:27:44justice or who think they are
00:27:48escaping. In this context, in the
00:27:51first 9 months of 2026, we ensured the extradition
00:27:55of 294 people to our country.
00:27:58In the same period, within the
00:28:03framework of different it will decrease
00:28:06from 8.5 hours
00:28:09to 3.5 hours. Our annual passenger
00:28:12capacity will increase from 600
00:28:16thousand to 3 million, and our cargo capacity
00:28:19will increase from 1.5
00:28:23million tons to 9.5 million
00:28:45we met with the distinguished
00:28:49members of our Science Dissemination
00:28:52Society, which celebrates its 75th
00:29:42five of our citizens lost their lives
00:29:45in the building that collapsed
00:29:48in Maltepe, Istanbul.
00:30:07in Maltepe has once again shown
00:30:10how vital the issue of urban
00:30:13transformation in Istanbul is.
00:30:17Delaying the earthquake
00:30:19reality in Istanbul, ignoring
00:30:23it, or sacrificing it
00:30:27to daily political squabbles would be a betrayal
00:30:31of Istanbul. I must say
00:30:34this clearly once and for all:
00:30:37we are tired of some people
00:30:40crying "rent transformation"
00:30:43every time we say
00:30:47"urban transformation."
00:30:48No one
00:30:51has the right to play with the lives of our people
00:30:55because of their ideological prejudices,
00:30:58and they cannot. You see.
00:31:02"They live in villas,
00:31:06in luxurious and secure
00:31:09complexes, but when it comes
00:31:13to the renewal of Istanbul's building stock,
00:31:17they are the ones who shout the most, they are the ones whose voices are heard the most,
00:31:21they are the ones who make the most noise. It is time
00:31:24to put an end to this hypocrisy.
00:31:27As a government, despite
00:31:30the indifference shown
00:31:34at the level of local administrations,
00:31:37we are determined to accelerate
00:31:39our urban transformation
00:31:42mobilization. We see
00:31:45Istanbul,
00:31:47Fatih's legacy, as the capital
00:31:51of this urban transformation mobilization.
00:31:54We have carried out one out of every two
00:31:58urban transformations in Turkey in Istanbul.
00:32:02Since
00:32:032012, we have included
00:32:071,298,000 independent
00:32:10sections in the scope of transformation.
00:32:14We have completed the transformation
00:32:17of 1,007,000 independent sections.
00:32:21The transformation of 291,000
00:32:25independent sections is still ongoing.
00:32:28We have reunited nearly 5 million
00:32:32citizens with their safe
00:32:36homes.
00:32:37We have taken
00:32:40every step to encourage
00:32:42our citizens
00:32:46to participate in urban transformation,
00:32:48especially
00:32:53for Istanbul, with our "Half from Us"
00:32:57campaign. So far, 544,564
00:33:01independent sections have been included
00:33:04in the scope of transformation through the "Half from Us"
00:33:08campaign.
00:33:09We have extended the campaign
00:33:13period until December
00:33:1731,
00:33:202027, so that more citizens
00:33:24can benefit from this opportunity.
00:33:26In our current support
00:33:29program, we provide
00:33:33875,000 lira in grants,
00:33:37875,000
00:33:38lira in loans, and 125,000
00:33:42lira in relocation
00:33:45support for each
00:33:48residence.
00:33:50For business
00:33:53owners, we provide
00:33:56437,500 lira in grants,
00:33:59437,500 lira in loans, and 125,000
00:34:03lira in relocation
00:34:06support. In other
00:34:09words, as a state,
00:34:12we are doing
00:34:18everything in our power
00:34:22to provide our citizens
00:34:25with safe homes where they can live
00:34:29with peace of mind under their
00:34:31roofs. I would like to emphasize
00:34:35this once again to my brothers
00:34:38and sisters in Istanbul.
00:34:41Please, regarding
00:34:44urban transformation, start
00:34:47today to reach
00:34:50an agreement with your neighbors,
00:34:52initiate the necessary
00:34:56procedures, and acquire a safe
00:34:59home. I would also like
00:35:02to underline that while
00:35:06our government has put
00:35:15with all its
00:35:16means,
00:35:20we expect all our municipalities,
00:35:23regardless of political
00:35:26party, to show
00:35:29the same understanding,
00:35:32the same effort,
00:35:35and the same sensitivity.
00:35:39I call on the mayors
00:35:42who truly love their cities
00:35:45and districts and who are responsible
00:35:48to focus on urban transformation
00:35:52projects. My esteemed
00:35:56citizens, unfortunately,
00:35:59new ones are added to the conflict
00:36:03zones in our region
00:36:06every day. Tensions
00:36:09are rising along the line
00:36:13extending
00:36:16from Lebanon to Yemen
00:36:18and Iran. Especially,
00:36:22different calculations are being pursued
00:36:26through proxy forces.
00:36:29Despite the crisis belt surrounding
00:36:33Turkey for some
00:36:36time, it is strengthening
00:36:39its position as an island
00:36:42of stability, security, and peace
00:36:46every passing day.
00:37:07Khalid International
00:37:11Airport, which killed
00:37:22who lost their lives
00:37:25were pilgrims performing
00:37:29Umrah. I ask Allah
00:37:33for mercy for our deceased
00:37:37brothers and sisters and a speedy recovery
00:37:41for our injured
00:37:44brothers and sisters. Turkey
00:37:47stands with Saudi Arabia
00:37:51and its Saudi brothers
00:37:54against unlawful and inhumane
00:37:58attacks. Here, I would
00:38:02also like to state
00:38:05that our efforts
00:38:09to establish the institutional
00:38:11infrastructure of the Joint
00:38:14Defense
00:38:16Agreement
00:38:19we signed with Pakistan
00:38:22and Saudi Arabia on August
00:38:257th are continuing.
00:38:29We are advancing our defense
00:38:32cooperation on two
00:38:35main tracks.
00:38:38First, we are working
00:38:41towards collective
00:38:44defense
00:38:57for this cooperation to gain
00:39:01a permanent institutional
00:39:05structure. I want
00:39:08it to be known that,
00:39:12as in NATO,
00:39:15activities under
00:39:18the Joint
00:39:27based on our national
00:39:31Statements
00:39:48to submit the bill
00:39:51to the Grand National
00:39:54Assembly for its approval
00:39:57for the completion of the internal
00:40:01approval processes
00:40:04of the agreement in the coming
00:40:06days are continuing.
00:40:10The stance, sensitivities, and principles
00:40:14that Turkey defends
00:40:17are clear. We never
00:40:19look at events
00:40:22through an ethnic
00:40:25or sectarian lens.
00:40:28We want peace and stability
00:40:32to prevail
00:40:34throughout our region.
00:40:37From now
00:40:40on, we will continue
00:40:43to advocate for peace
00:40:46and strive for peace
00:40:48based on regional
00:40:52ownership. Dear
00:40:55friends, one of the issues
00:40:59we discussed in our cabinet
00:41:01meeting today was
00:41:04the İŞKUR Youth Program
00:41:08that we launched last year.
00:41:12We attach great
00:41:15importance to our youth
00:41:18gaining experience
00:41:21and preparing better
00:41:24for the future while continuing
00:41:27their education. Our youth
00:41:31show great interest
00:41:34in the İŞKUR Youth
00:41:37Program that we launched
00:41:40for this purpose. The number
00:41:43of young people
00:41:47who have benefited from the program so far
00:41:50has approached 220 thousand.
00:41:54These young friends
00:41:58have both gained experience
00:42:01and earned a certain amount
00:42:05of income. We are not
00:42:23the quota for
00:42:27the 2026-2027 period
00:42:31of the program to 150
00:42:33thousand. Under
00:42:36the program, our youth
00:42:40will receive a daily
00:42:43payment of 1375
00:42:45lira. Students
00:42:49who participate for 14
00:42:52days a month
00:42:55will be able to receive
00:42:58up to 19,250
00:43:02lira in support.
00:43:05In addition, our state
00:43:08will cover the premiums
00:43:10of our youth.
00:43:14Furthermore, under
00:43:17certain conditions,
00:43:20a promotion of 1250
00:43:23lira and special
00:43:25discount opportunities
00:43:29for various expenses
00:43:32will be offered. With
00:43:35our youth production
00:43:38era and power
00:43:42move,
00:43:45we aim
00:43:47to reach 3 million
00:43:50young people in 3 years.
00:43:53In the İŞKUR Youth
00:43:56Program, we aim
00:44:00for 1 million university
00:44:04students to benefit
00:44:07by the end of 2028.
00:44:10In defiance of those
00:44:13who try to use
00:44:16youth for their
00:44:19personal gain,
00:44:22we will continue to increase
00:44:26our support for the education, employment,
00:44:29and future of our youth.
00:44:32We will not abandon
00:44:36our youth to the ambitions
00:44:40of marginal structures,
00:44:42terrorist organizations,
00:44:46or careerist politicians. I hope
00:44:50this good news
00:44:53will be
00:45:04nation, finally,
00:45:07we are making intense
00:45:10efforts to resolve
00:45:13the fund issue
00:45:16quickly. Since
00:45:19our last cabinet
00:45:21meeting, many
00:45:24positive steps
00:45:28have been taken,
00:45:31from the assignment
00:45:35of our State Supervisory
00:45:38Board to
00:45:41the establishment of our Fund
00:45:44Coordination Board,
00:45:47from informing our Grand
00:45:51National Assembly
00:45:54to submitting the bill
00:45:58to the discretion of our assembly
00:46:00for issues
00:46:03requiring legal
00:46:06regulation, from
00:46:10the start of the transfer
00:46:13of Katılım Evim, Birevim,
00:46:17and İktisat Katılım
00:46:20Bankası to Emlak
00:46:23Katılım to the start of payments
00:46:27for funds whose
00:46:31Central Registry
00:46:33operations have been
00:46:37completed. The investigations
00:46:41on the judicial side
00:46:44of the matter are continuing
00:46:47meticulously
00:46:49and thoroughly. Legal
00:46:53action has been
00:46:56taken against
00:46:59282 people,
00:47:02including members
00:48:37priority right
00:48:40now is not
00:48:44to argue with those
00:48:47whose only
00:48:51capital is controversy,
00:48:54but to manage
00:48:58this process transparently,
00:49:01fairly, and quickly
00:49:04without using
00:49:07public resources.
00:49:11I want everyone
00:49:14to know and understand
00:49:17this once
00:49:21again. The protection
00:49:24of the rights and laws
00:49:27of our nation
00:49:31is our red line.
00:49:34Anyone who has obtained
00:49:37excessive returns,
00:49:40or who has gained
00:49:43unjust profits
00:49:47through speculation
00:49:50and manipulation will certainly
00:49:53pay the price
00:49:57for this. Others
00:50:00may support robbers,
00:50:03those who lay
00:50:06hands on the nation's property,
00:53:19of hatred. Look,
00:53:22in Turkey, no one,
00:53:26including myself,
00:53:29is beyond
00:53:31criticism.
00:53:36However, no one's
00:53:40title, profession,
00:53:43or position
00:53:47gives them the right
00:53:51to assassinate the reputation
00:53:54of another using
00:53:58FETÖ-like methods.
00:54:02The right to criticize is not
00:54:05the right to defame
00:54:08someone with lies
00:54:12and distortions. Similarly,
00:54:15freedom of expression
00:54:19is not the freedom
00:54:23to slander anyone
00:54:26who comes along.
00:54:30Everyone who claims
00:54:33to hold someone
00:54:37accountable on behalf
00:54:40of the public must
00:54:43perform
00:55:09under the chairmanship of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. President Erdoğan
00:55:13, as always, made statements after the meeting.
00:55:27the 3-hour and 20-minute cabinet meeting, President
00:55:30Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was in front of the cameras and made
00:55:34important statements in the past hour. He underlined
00:55:37that the main agenda of the cabinet was the fund issue. At this
00:55:41point, President Erdoğan said, "We are making intense efforts
00:55:44to solve it quickly." On the judicial side of the matter,
00:55:47investigations are continuing meticulously and thoroughly.
00:55:50Including the board members of the fund companies.
