The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) rolled up its sleeves to prevent violence in social life, education and health. The studies of the commission, which included academics and field professionals from the fields of law, psychology, political science, philosophy, economics and health, were collected in the book “Combatting Individual and Social Violence”, together with field examples. MHP Deputy Chairman İzzet Ulvi Yönter noted that the commission of 22 people worked for 4 months for the book. In the foreword of the book, MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli’s evaluation was included. Pointing out that the increase in individual and social violence has reached alarming levels, Bahçeli said, “Crimes committed against our little children, murders, rapes becoming normal, attacks nestled in life, cases of violence, lines of fight and polarization extending from the family to the society in general are a suffocating ball of problems that need immediate intervention and require an emergency action plan.”

GOOD CONDUCT RECOMMENDATION

In the book, it was suggested that people who have completed the minimum period in prison should not automatically be considered to be of good behavior, and that they should benefit from conditional release if they are deemed to be truly reformed. The book also included a recommendation to establish a board to prevent individual and social violence.

Authorization was received for the redaction of the report, which was accepted by the National Solidarity, Fraternity and Democracy Commission with 47 votes in its last meeting on February 18. The corrections were completed and the report was published on the official website of the Turkish Grand National Assembly.

Thus, the report was made available to the public. The report consists of 107 pages with its annexes. The minutes of the last meeting of the commission were also added to the report. The minutes include the parties’ opinions as well as their comments. The report begins with the “introduction” letter of the Speaker of the Parliament, Numan Kurtulmuş. The report, which consists of seven chapters, also includes “conclusions and evaluation” and “appendices” sections.

Kurtulmuş’s article states the following:

“The natural alliance that Turks, Kurds and Arabs will form with other brotherly peoples living in the region will initiate a period that will disrupt the disintegration and disintegration scenarios of the imperialists in the region and neutralize their plans. Our nation has a stronger will for unity, brotherhood and integration than defeatist ambitions.

TRNC PRIME MINISTER ÜNAL ÜSTEL: “TODAY’S TURKEY’S DEFENSE INDUSTRY HAS REACHED THE STRONGEST LEVEL OF THE LAST THREE CENTURIES, NOT OF THE REPUBLICAN ERA”

TRNC Prime Minister Ünal Üstel stated that today’s Turkey has reached the strongest level not only of the Republic period, but also of the last three centuries, in foreign policy, defense industry and many parameters, and said, “Today, I would like to commemorate and pray for the blessings of our late teacher Fuat Sezgin, who devoted his life to Islamic civilization. He believed that Islamic civilization was the building block of world civilization and led us all on this path. He believed that there was nothing that the Islamic faith could not achieve with the necessary self-confidence. He knew what we did in the past and today and today.” He had full faith that we could do it in the future. These are the days that prove his theses in many ways. I would like to especially underline the strong vision that the Republic of Turkey has put forward in recent years, in terms of foreign policy, defense industry and many parameters, not only in the Republic period, but also in the last three centuries. Our state’s effectiveness, deterrence and reputation in the international arena are historic. “Today, we are talking about a Türkiye that has surpassed not only the Republic period but also the three-century period from the Ottoman Empire to today. The strongest Turkey of the last 300 years is being built during the period of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,” he said. Following the speeches, the agenda items were discussed at the meeting, while the foundation’s activity report, financial statements and new term budget were discussed, board elections and administrative issues were also discussed. The night continued with iftar dinner.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made important evaluations at the “Cemre Foundation Promotion Program” held at Atatürk Cultural Center. Stating that there will be no party for protecting the environment, President Erdoğan said: “There is no party for protecting the environment. There is no ideology for preparation against disasters. We never engage in political discrimination in environmental projects. We sincerely support every step and every idea that protects the environment.

We hosted COP31. This year, we will host nearly 200 countries in Antalya and say that now is the time for action, not words. “I wholeheartedly believe that Cemre Foundation will support us in this struggle,” he said.

Reacting to CHP administrators about the olive trees cut down in Muğla’s Milas district, Erdoğan said: “We will not allow those who claim to be environmentalists when it comes to words, but who massacred olive trees in Milas, who condemned the cities they rule to garbage, mud and pits, and who exploiters who make our nation suffer from thirst for weeks in the middle of winter, to make our heavenly homeland uninhabitable, sometimes due to their incompetence and sometimes their greed for profit.” he said.

Emphasizing that they did not leave the earthquake victims who said “My New Home, My First Iftar” alone in their new homes, Minister Işıkhan said, “We share our bread with them at the same tables. Friendship and brotherhood means sharing pain, happiness and peace. Just as we were one heart during the February 6 earthquakes, today we are together in the joy of resurrecting our cities and our brothers who have returned to their sparkling homes.”

In his speech, Minister Işıkhan also touched upon the work carried out specifically for Elazığ and announced that approximately 15 thousand houses, including workplaces, village houses and residences, have been delivered to the rightful owners throughout the province so far. He stated that this number reached approximately 500 thousand throughout the earthquake region. Explaining that they are making intense efforts to improve not only housing but also working life and social security, Işıkhan listed the supports provided to the earthquake region. He announced that important conveniences were provided, such as the postponement of premium debts, the removal of the participation fee of 2.6 billion liras, and the payment of debts in interest-free installments for up to 24 months.

Stating that 1 billion 694 million liras were paid for 193 thousand citizens within the scope of Short-Time Working Allowance and Cash Wage Support, Minister Işıkhan stated that the number of insured people in the earthquake region exceeded the pre-earthquake level and reached 2 million 56 thousand people. He said that this data shows that working life has become stronger than before the earthquake.

Emphasizing that the state is fully staffed with all its institutions under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Işıkhan said, “While rebuilding the earthquake zone, we are creating more earthquake-resistant cities, safer living spaces and a stronger economic structure with the vision of the Turkey Century.”

Referring to the employment data across Turkey, Minister Işıkhan added that the unemployment rate has been in single digits for 11 quarters at 8.2 percent, and that historical low levels have been reached in youth and women’s employment. Completing his speech with the emphasis on unity and solidarity, Minister Işıkhan concluded his speech by saying, “Our intention is one, our belief is one, our path is one. This path is the path of a holy direction that stands by the oppressed, stands tall against the oppressor, and defends the rights and law of its nation under all circumstances.” Citizens who participated in the program shared the excitement and happiness of welcoming the first Ramadan in their new homes with Minister Işıkhan.

Büyükgümüş, who came to Adıyaman within the scope of the “My New Home, My First Iftar” program, visited the AK Party Provincial Headquarters and met with party members. In his speech, Büyükgümüş reminded that the 455 thousandth house was delivered.

Stating that 11 provinces affected by the earthquake recovered with service mobilization, Büyükgümüş continued as follows:

“We praise God. We are pleased to have achieved the goal we aimed for with the 455 thousandth house we delivered in Hatay last month. We also praise God that we are in the presence of our nation as passengers of a service and work policy that keeps our promises to our nation and raises 11 cities with their infrastructure, superstructure, residences, hospitals, schools and dams.”

Stating that they will come together at the iftar table with the disaster victims who have returned to their homes, Büyükgümüş said, “Alhamdulillah, it was the fate of the AK Party cadres, the cadres who work and strive under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, to recover our cities, which were destroyed with their infrastructure and superstructure. Just as families are happy and excited when they see the progress of their children, with that excitement and love, today, as all AK cadres, we will be guests at the heartfelt tables in all 11 cities affected by the earthquake.” he said.

Reminding that the houses were given without interest, Büyükgümüş said, “We consider these works as the greatest happiness, gain and purpose of politics. We want the level of politics in Türkiye to be in the service of the nation.” he said.

Referring to the criticisms regarding the housing delivery processes, Büyükgümüş concluded his words as follows:

“Through lies, fraud, slander… Here, the earthquake houses were delivered. First, we were told that we could not deliver them. We delivered them, no sir, they would be given to the citizens at exorbitant prices, and interest would be charged. Did Recep Tayyip Erdoğan put the point? He did. Alhamdulillah, with the most suitable means, with the most suitable payment terms, with an interest-free payment method that lasts 18 years, our citizens will live peacefully in their homes with a small amount when they say they want to buy it today.”
