President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan briefly said the following in his speech at the cabinet meeting that lasted 1.5 hours:

OUR SURNAME IS THE REPUBLIC OF Türkiye: We are a team that does politics around the common values ​​of the nation, not in areas of conflict, tension and fight. Whatever our name is, our surname is the Republic of Türkiye. Since the first day we took over the responsibility of governing Türkiye, we have never separated any of our people from each other. We especially took care of our Alevi lives very closely and sincerely. We have implemented reforms that have never been taken before in the history of the Republic, or have never even been on the agenda.

POLITICS CANNOT BE DONE BY PURSUING EXPLOITATION: Politics is done both to find solutions to the nation’s problems, to unite and integrate the nation, and to increase the commons. Politics cannot be done by pitting people against each other, dividing our people, and seeking exploitation to score goals against their opponents in the power struggle within the party. It is extremely wrong that the conflict within the main opposition party is gradually evolving from a reasonable ground to a logic of “fists do not count in a fight”. It is a much bigger mistake that our Alevi lives are wanted to be used in this.

THE POLITICS OF DISSENT HAS ONLY DAMAGED THE COUNTRY: The best thing that the main opposition party, which is the architect of the pain experienced in the past, can do for the country on this issue is to come to terms with their bad record, if they really have the courage. No one should engage in politics based on the sensitivity of our Alevi citizens, and especially should not resort to exploitation. The politics of discord has only harmed this country in the past. The policy of polarization has caused great pain to this nation. We will not tolerate the destruction, injury or weakening of the thousand-year-old brotherhood, and we will neither encourage nor permit such a policy.

EMPLOYMENT OF 32 MILLION 463 THOUSAND PEOPLE: Turkish Statistical Institute announced the labor force statistics for May. The unemployment rate remained at the same level as the previous month at 8.2 percent in May. While the unemployment rate decreased by 0.2 points compared to the same month last year, this rate reached 0.7 points among young people. The number of employed people increased by 285 thousand people compared to the previous month and reached 32 million 463 thousand people. We find it valuable that the unemployment rate has been in single digits for 37 months, at a time when the world is experiencing a “crisis storm”.

DIFFERENCE IN MENTALITY AND VISION: Our Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay was elected as the President of the World Union of Municipalities. I believe that this success will further increase Türkiye’s international visibility. While the opposition municipalities come to the fore with their money towers, baklava boxes, and bribe deals worth millions of euros, it is admirable that our municipalities come to the fore with international successes, and is a very important indicator that reveals the difference in mentality and vision.

SUPPORT TO VENEZUELA

We support the friendly Venezuelan people with all our means. Under the coordination of AFAD and in cooperation with our Ministry of National Defense, we quickly dispatched our two military transport aircraft to the disaster area. Our 75 personnel started their work in Venezuela with 5 search and rescue vehicles and 6 search and rescue dogs.

WE ARE NOT LEAVING ISTANBUL TO ITS FATE

We continue to improve Istanbul’s transportation infrastructure. Gayrettepe-Istanbul Airport-Halkalı Metro Project, which has 16 stations and a length of 69 kilometers, is one of them. We put one of the longest metro lines, not only in Türkiye but in the world, at the service of Istanbul and our country. While the project will save 117 million hours of time in 25 years, it will contribute 953 million euros to our economy.

THERE IS NO GENOCIDE IN OUR HISTORY

We opened our doors to those who took refuge in our country. We do not take into account the slanders about our country by the murder network, which has the blood of 73 thousand innocent Gazans, mostly children and women, on their hands. There is neither genocide, massacre, oppression, or colonialism in our history. In our thousands of years of glorious history, there is only justice and mercy. Those who slander Türkiye and the Turkish nation to cover up their barbarism in Gaza know this best.

WE ARE READY FOR ANY SCENARIO

The 32-year struggle is the story of how the work and service policy in our country was carried out by overcoming obstacles. When we launched the TÜRKSAT 3-A satellite into space in 2008, some people were teasing us again in an arrogant manner. We are currently one of the 11 countries that can produce their own communications satellite. We are the 11th largest country in the world in defense industry exports. More than 50 warships are manufactured in our shipyards. We prepare ourselves for all kinds of scenarios.

THE GUEST OF THE COMPLEX IS THE EU DELEGATION

Farmer included the following statements in his statement:

“As our esteemed President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated, we do not send back any of our Syrian brothers by force. We are based on voluntary, safe, honorable and regular returns, and we welcome the acceleration of returns as stability strengthens in Syria. We support this process, which is of great importance for Syria’s recovery, and we mobilize all our means to facilitate returns, especially the infrastructure works implemented in the northern regions.

We expressed our expectation to our Syrian counterparts to develop supportive, facilitative and encouraging policies for our returning brothers and sisters, and to accelerate the return and adaptation processes by resolving the problems especially in the field of security and shelter. The stability, security and territorial integrity of Syria are of great importance not only for the brotherly Syrian people, but also for the future of our region. As Türkiye, we will continue our sincere and constructive support for our neighbor Syria to regain peace, for the strengthening of state institutions, and for our Syrian brothers to live safely in their own land. “I hope that the cooperation we will strengthen will be beneficial for the common future of our countries and our region.”

At the meeting, studies on the congress calendar, which was announced to start in September, and the revision of party organizations were discussed. At the meeting, decisions regarding the discipline and dismissal of some provincial heads attracted attention.

26 PROVINCIAL HEADS WERE DISMISSED

Party Spokesperson Müslim Sarı held a press conference at CHP Headquarters regarding the agenda of the Central Executive Board and announced that 26 provincial presidents were dismissed.

Sarı said, “In some of our provinces, decisions were taken to dismiss our provincial presidents, provincial administrators, the high disciplinary board and the provincial disciplinary board.

These provinces: Ağrı province and its central district, Aksaray, Amasya, Batman, Bilecik, Bolu, Çanakkale, Denizli, Diyarbakır, Düzce and Akçakoca district, Eskişehir, Hakkari, Iğdır, Kars, Kırıkkale, Manisa, Mardin, Muğla, Muş, Niğde and its central district, Nevşehir, Osmaniye and its central district, Samsun, Sivas, Tunceli, Sinop. “In the province, only an action was taken regarding the dismissal of the provincial president,” he said.

The allegations in the court defense of Murat Ongun, who was detained in the IMM corruption case, were refuted. The statement made by the Center for Combating Disinformation regarding this statement of Murat Ongun, who claimed that his son’s allowance was taken during the search at his home, was reminded again. DMM stated that the allegations in some media outlets that “The police took the money from Murat Ongun’s son’s money box” were manipulation, and that no money was taken from any money bank during the search, and that the seized cash was found in the safe and in different parts of the house, according to the search report.

THE MONEY IN THE SAFE WAS SEIZED

In addition to 9 thousand 800 TL and 20 thousand TL found in different parts of Ongun’s residence, 31 thousand 50 euros, 1,640 pounds sterling, 227 dollars and 20 thousand TL, 13 thousand TL, 20 thousand TL and 100 TL found in the safe were seized. For this reason, it was emphasized that Murat Ongun tried to create a different perception in the public by distorting DMM’s statement, and the official minutes revealed that the cash was seized from the safe and from different points of the house.

ZEYNEP ONGUN WAS NOT ARRESTED, BUT HOUSE ARREST WAS IMPOSED

Considering Murat Ongun’s wife Zeynep Ongun’s family unity, the presence of her young child and her personal situation, the judicial control measure of “not leaving the house” was applied instead of arrest. It has been recorded that Murat Ongun’s claim that “I was asked for money to prevent my wife from being arrested” does not reflect the truth, and that this statement was intended to put the judicial authorities under suspicion.

THE PROSECUTOR HE TARGETED IS NOT ON DUTY IN THE FILE

It was revealed that the public prosecutor, whose name Murat Ongun coded in his defense, did not take any part in the IMM investigation, did not work in the office where the file was located, did not have access to the investigation file and worked in the terrorism bureau.
