“THIS TABLE IS AN INDICATION THAT UNIVERSITIES MAKE INNOVATIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SCIENCE POOL”
Reminding that they presented the TÜBİTAK Science and Incentive Awards to 11 professors from 8 different universities, Erdoğan continued his words as follows:
“I congratulate our professors who have produced works in a wide range of fields, from electro-chemistry to solid object mechanics, from experimental psychology to RNA biology, from dentistry to neurology, history and philosophy, for their success. We are giving our International Academy Awards to two important names in the Health and Life Sciences category. We are presenting our Outstanding Young Scientist Awards, including the Pharmacy Special Award, to our 28 young academics. 4 of them are copyright works, 3 of them are jury special awards, 1 of them is Halil Halil. Including the İnalcık Special Award, we also present 8 of our professors with the Scientific Copyrighted Work Award. Thus, the number of our scientists who have won the TÜBA-GEBİP award to date has increased to 697, and the number of works awarded within the scope of TESEP has increased to 254. I would also like to point out that when we look at the higher education institutions where our award-winning professors work, we see that almost every region is on the list, from the Black Sea to the Marmara, from the Aegean to the Eastern Anatolia and Central Anatolia. To Anatolia… This table is a clear indication that the universities in our different cities are making new and innovative contributions to the science pool.
I would especially like to express that I am very pleased with this. On behalf of myself and my nation, I wholeheartedly congratulate all of our scientists who were deemed worthy of the award, and I pray to God for success for each of our professors in their future work. “I hope that these works that they have brought to our scientific world will pave the way for much more original and qualified studies.”
“THOUSANDS OF SKILLED HANDS HAVE LAYED THE FOUNDATIONS OF TODAY’S CIVILIZATION”
Erdoğan stated that human beings are creatures of inquiring and questioning nature, and that they want to know, understand and, as the elders put it, conquer.
Emphasizing that understanding the meaning of nature, history, things, the universe, in short, what the ancients call ‘evolution’, and pursuing miraculous causes, is the distinguishing feature of being human, Erdoğan made the following evaluations:
“The most fundamental feature of science is that it is based on accumulation and universality. Scientific knowledge produced in different parts of the world is constantly developed and updated in both a comparative and interactive manner. As a continuation and member of a civilization that has brought countless values to the world, from astronomy to medicine, from mathematics to architecture, we are among the leading countries in this field. For example, studies on astronomy go back a thousand years in our country, with astrolabes, calendars, water clocks and many other instruments that have a design and function far beyond their time. “The first universities established in the West started their activities by taking our educational methods and curriculum as an example. Throughout the centuries, our scholars, culture and arts have gifted valuable works to both these lands, the West, and all humanity. Our physicians, scholars, thinkers, architects, poets, in short, hundreds and thousands of skillful hands who shaped our world of mind and heart, laid the foundations of today’s civilization.”
“WE WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF OUR ANCESTORS, BUT WE WILL NOT STAY STUCK IN THE PAST”
President Erdoğan stated that civilizations that left their mark in history were built on personalities that guided humanity.
Stating that the Anatolian geography is the center of growth and maturation of great personalities, Erdoğan continued his speech as follows:
“Our late Master Nurettin Topçu said, ‘There are great homelands on the great graves. Nations without great dead cannot be eternal. Those who mix the great souls with the soil of the homeland; those who lie in arms with eternity in the graves that make the nations eternal; are the prophets, saints, philosophers and artists. Under the soil of Anatolia, the great graves entrusted to us from a thousand years of past, as they mix their eternal souls with our existence, the poisonous ones of the wretches who are enemies of our souls.” “Their influence cannot destroy us,” he says.
Yes… We are a nation that lives not only with our living scholars and volunteers, but also with our intellectuals underground. We have made very important contributions to science and humanity in the past with our works, our ideas, and the scholars who grew up in these lands. Of course, when I say this, I am not saying that we should console ourselves with the bright days of the past. We will always be proud of our ancestors, but we will not dwell on the past. “We will not forget, as the famous expression goes, ‘Tradition is not about messing around with ashes, but about carrying the fire to the future.'”
Erdoğan stated that they will carry forward the knowledge they have gained from the past by filling the bag even more, enlarging it, renewing it, strengthening it and, of course, enriching it.
Breaking news… The Cabinet Meeting held under the leadership of President Erdoğan has ended. President Erdoğan makes statements after the critical meeting.
Highlights from President Erdoğan’s statements are as follows:
Our government is in control of its agenda, no one can impose an agenda on us. No one can divert Türkiye’s agenda with artificial arguments, under any pretext. I want it to be known that early or midterm elections are not included in the near-term political coordinates of neither our government nor our nation. We are trying to fight within the legal framework against those who siphon resources that should go to investment, production, service and development. While there are crises and conflicts in our region, we have only one agenda: to keep our country away from this fire and to increase the bread on our nation’s table.
We are very pleased to see that Türkiye stands out as an island of stability and a safe haven in the future plans of international investors. The closure of Hormuz deeply shakes not only one sector, but also the global economy in every field, from energy to agriculture, from industry to technology.
We do not have any problems with energy supply security, supply and storage. Our inspections against war opportunists, who are ruining the nation’s bread with exorbitant price increases, continue intensively.
The terror-free Türkiye process has crossed many critical thresholds and has successfully passed the resistance test. We can neutralize the games being played with Terror-Free Türkiye.

When shepherds grazing sheep in the Kürebeli Plateau area of Adana’s Tufanbeyli district noticed a motionless woman lying in the pond, they immediately reported the situation to the gendarmerie teams. Upon notice, the teams came to the area and started a large-scale investigation, removing the lifeless body found at the water’s edge.
HIS IDENTITY WAS CLEARED IN FORENSIC MEDICINE
The lifeless body of the young woman, who had no identification, was taken to the morgue of the Adana Forensic Medicine Institute for autopsy and identification procedures. As a result of the examinations and family applications made here, it was confirmed that the body belonged to 27-year-old Bahar Aksüt, who suddenly disappeared 9 days ago and was never heard from again.
MURDERED BY 8 KNIFE BLOWS
The details in the autopsy report were blood-curdling. A total of 8 stab wounds were detected on the body of Aksüt, who was learned to be a mother of one child. Experts evaluate that the young woman was killed about a week ago and then left in the pond.

Satisfaction in the earthquake zone reached 80 percent: Betimar announced the survey results!
Public opinion research and consultancy company Betimar conducted a survey in Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, Adıyaman and Malatya, which were most affected by the Disaster of the Century. Earthquake victims were asked about their satisfaction with the government’s completion of 455 thousand residences and workplaces in the region. The satisfaction rate with the work done was determined as 80 percent. 19 percent found the work inadequate.
PAYMENT PLAN ALSO SATISFIED
Citizens affected by the earthquake were also asked about the payment plan, which was one of the issues criticized by CHP Chairman Özgür Özel. Citizens were satisfied with the installment amount of 8,750 TL, which started 2 years after the key delivery and spread over 18 years, and the amount of 484 thousand TL determined for cash payment. According to Betimar’s survey, the payment plan announced by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan satisfied 73 percent of the citizens. 14 percent said they were “partially satisfied”.
CHP’S ‘KEYSTONE, TRASHBIN’ DISCOURSE DID NOT IMPACT CITIZENS
While CHP Chairman Özgür Özel was explaining their support during his visit to the earthquake region, the statement “We sent keystones and garbage bins” was also asked to the citizens. 58 percent of the earthquake victims said that they found these actions insufficient.
Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek, together with the Chairman of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey Investigation Commission on Children Driven to Crime and AK Party Istanbul Deputy Müşerref Pervin Tuba Durgut, met with the families victimized by ‘children dragged into crime’ at the Judge House in Sarıyer, Istanbul. Speaking at the opening of the meeting, Minister Gürlek started his speech with condolences to the families. Stating that they are working closely with Commission President Durgut in this field, Gürlek stated that a comprehensive preparation process is continuing both within the Turkish Grand National Assembly and the Ministry of Justice.
‘THIS ISSUE IS SENSITIVE’
Minister Gürlek stated that current practices regarding children dragged into crime are subject to different evaluations in society, and that new regulation efforts in this field are ongoing. “Currently, our commission is working and our work on the 12th Judicial Package continues. In this context, we are carrying out a law study that takes into account the sensitivities in society and will make the implementation more effective,” said Gürlek, emphasizing that the regulations to be made will be shaped by a wide consultation process. Drawing attention to the sensitivity in society, Gürlek pointed out the importance of the issue. Gürlek said, “This issue is our sensitive and fragile subject. I followed these files closely, especially in my past duties.”
The Presidential Cabinet, chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is meeting today at the Presidential Complex with critical topics. The meeting is expected to be quite intense, with a wide range of topics ranging from conflicts and wars in the region to the “Terrorism-Free Türkiye” process in domestic politics to be discussed.
EFFECTS ON THE TURKISH ECONOMY: One of the main agenda items of the cabinet will be the US/Israel-Iran war, which has been going on for more than 5 weeks. Türkiye’s mediation role and the effects of the war on the Turkish economy will be evaluated. The reflection of increasing energy costs on the economy will be discussed. The steps to be taken and the measures to be taken in the economy will be consulted.
RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR: Another important topic of the meeting is the Russia-Ukraine war. Navigational safety in the Black Sea and the latest developments in the region will be discussed in detail. President Erdoğan’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski over the weekend is also expected to be on the agenda of the meeting.
TERRORISM-FREE Türkiye: In addition to the developments in foreign policy, critical topics in domestic policy are also on the agenda of the cabinet. The final stage of the “Terror-Free Türkiye” process will be evaluated and observation reports from the field will be discussed. The framework of the legal regulations to be prepared in line with the positive reports coming from the field will be determined. It will be discussed whether members of the PKK terrorist organization, such as organization members living abroad, members of the organization who are involved in the action or not, members of the organization who are detained, disabled and elderly members of the organization, can benefit from the regulations. In particular, the execution regulations, the changes planned to be made in the Turkish Penal Code and the Anti-Terrorism Law will also be discussed at the meeting.
