“THE ESSENTIAL THING IS THE PROGRAM YOU WATCH”

Yılmaz stated that they implemented monetary and fiscal policies in a coordinated and disciplined manner, and that they also attach importance to structural transformations and supply-side policies.

Stating that they prioritize 5 headings in supply-side policies, Yılmaz continued as follows:

“The first is food. We have to increase food and food production. We have increased the allocation of irrigation investments and focused them, especially in the fields. We have prioritized the projects that have completed the dam, the main canal has been completed, and have reached the final stage, and we have allocated a much larger resource to irrigation. Hopefully, we will see the effects of this. On the other hand, we have added food for the first time this year to the investment-committed advance loans of our Central Bank, which we call YTAK. We have also added qualified food projects to this program. Gıdada özel sektörün daha büyük ölçekli, daha profesyonel yatırımlarını önümüzdeki dönem artırmak istiyoruz. İkinci arz yönlü önceliğimiz konut. Malum vatandaşımızın en fazla sıkıntı yaşadığı mesele ev fiyatları ve konut kiraları. Burada da tarihimizin en büyük sosyal konut seferberliğini başlatmış durumdayız. 500 bin sosyal konut. Eskisi gibi büyük ölçekli de düşünmüyoruz. 2 oda 1 salon. İsraf ekonomisi değil, tasarruf ekonomisi diyoruz. Enerjiyi iyi kullanan, depremlere dayanıklı, iç tasarımı da iyi yapılmış konutlar inşa We will also support this with our local governments. We would also like to express that it would be very beneficial for the private sector to prioritize more economical housing production in line with our new demographic realities.

“WE WANT TO MAKE DISTANCE ON ENERGY”

Stating that their third priority is energy, Yılmaz said: “Our basic policy is to reduce foreign dependency on energy, especially renewable energy. This is a development that will reduce our current deficit and contribute to our financial stability, and it is important in terms of inflation. It is extremely important that we support domestic energy production at a cheaper rate. In this context, we also prioritize industry. We see industry as a priority, especially in the allocation of renewable energy. We prioritize self-consumption. From nuclear to wind, solar, increasing exploration efforts and increasing resources.” “Last year, we passed a package that we can call a structural reform on this issue. We made a regulatory framework that reduced the bureaucratic processes, which previously took up to 4 years, to approximately 2 years. Thus, we want to make progress on this energy issue much faster.”

“WE PAY IMPORTANCE TO LOGISTICS”

Stating that the fourth heading is logistics and explaining that they prioritize railways, Yılmaz noted that they attach importance to the lines that connect organized industrial zones to ports and markets, called junction lines.

Yılmaz said that in the field of human resources, which is the fifth heading, the harmony between the education system and the needs of the labor market will be increased and that they are working on new business models.

“WE GUARANTEED THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF WOMEN IN WORKING LIFE”

Stating that May 1 has been one of the most controversial issues in this country for years, Erdoğan said that they put an end to all these unnecessary discussions by declaring May 1 as a public holiday as Labor and Solidarity Day.

Reminding that they enacted the Occupational Health and Safety Law to ensure that workers work in safer conditions, Erdoğan stated that they facilitated the establishment conditions of unions and revised and improved the Law on Trade Unions and Collective Labor Agreements.

Stating that they strengthened union guarantees and the right to strike, and gave public servants the right to collective bargaining, Erdoğan said:

“We reinstated the collective bargaining bonus, which the main opposition party brought to the Constitutional Court and had it annulled. By lifting the headscarf ban in the public sector, we guaranteed women’s rights and freedoms in working life. Our public employees can now fully and effectively benefit from rights such as Friday leave and pilgrimage leave. Here, I have to emphasize that we see that these regulations for our people, who have been abused for years, whose rights have been ignored for years, and who have been victimized for decades with arbitrary bans, seriously disturb some circles in our country.

For some reason, the nation’s freedom of religion and conscience, in accordance with the mandatory provisions of our Constitution, and the ability to practice its faith freely in the public sphere, touches these and drives them crazy. I believe that you are also following this with regret. “In a country whose every inch of land has been kneaded with the blood of martyrs, which has been the standard-bearer of I’la-yi Kalimatullah for a thousand years, and where 99 percent are Muslims, they talk about workers, civil servants and university students going to Friday prayers with peace of mind, and children enjoying the joy of Ramadan to their fullest, and they attack with extremely ugly and disgusting expressions, such as the provocation of the reactionary minority.”

“THEY ARE FOLLOWING SECULARISM”

Pointing out that there are those who cowardly hide behind the concept of secularism and shoot at the faith values of the nation, and who have no duty other than acting as hitmen in civilian areas for the junta in the coup attempts against the national will since May 27, Erdoğan said, “We just laugh at the delusions of this mentally and intellectually fossilized group, who cannot digest the change that Türkiye has experienced in 23 years. No matter what they say. Whatever declaration they publish.” We focus on expanding the rights and freedoms of all segments of society. Hopefully, we will act with the same sensitivity from now on.” he said.

Emphasizing that as a President who started his working life as a worker at IETT at a young age, he knows the value of sweat, Erdoğan said, “I am very aware of what kind of struggle it requires to pursue halal sustenance, whether in the private sector or the public sector. Likewise, we are aware of the importance of working, producing, and receiving the reward of your labor as well as contributing to our country’s economy. For this reason, we have never been among those who exploit labor and laborers for their political ambitions, like some in any period of our political life. “We were not among those who gave generous promises to the workers but forgot the promises they made when they took office. We were not like those who were enjoying themselves in tropical islands while protesting in front of the municipality because their own workers did not receive a salary.” he said.

“AS OUR STATE’S OPPORTUNITIES EXPANDED, WE ENSURE THAT 86 MILLION PEOPLE BENEFIT FROM THIS”

Pointing out that they always act with the awareness of carrying a basket of eggs on their backs, the trust and responsibility of 86 million people, Erdoğan concluded his speech with the following words:

“As the opportunities of our state expanded, we ensured that all 86 million workers, retirees and civil servants benefited fairly. We improved the personal rights of our civil servants with the regulations we made in areas such as salary increases, disciplinary amnesty, companion leave and additional payments. We arranged the wage increase rates, raises and compensations of our public servants, and their social supports in a way that would not be subject to inflation. We ensured that our retirees benefited from new rights such as holiday bonuses and bank promotions twice a year. “We have solved all the problems of our citizens, who spent their lives in medicine and hospital queues. We have made the health and social security system functioning smoothly. We have paved the way for temporary workers to work full-year. We have supported and strengthened our employees in every field, and hopefully we will continue to support you from now on.”

“OUR DETERMINED STRUGGLE HAS CONTINUED FOR 40 YEARS”

Emphasizing that Türkiye has been waging a determined fight against terrorism in the last 40 years, Çiftçi continued as follows:

“Thanks to the sacrifice of our security forces and the foresight of our beloved nation, we are at a very different point today. The greatest heroes of this success are our martyrs and veterans who sacrificed their lives for this country. We owe gratitude and gratitude to all of them. Today, a new phase has been reached with the ‘Terror-Free Turkey’ process. This process, which started under the determined leadership of our esteemed President and with the strong support of the Chairman of the Nationalist Movement Party, Mr. Devlet Bahçeli, is the success of our beloved nation. “As the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we will show utmost sensitivity for the vision of ‘Terror-free Turkey’ and ‘Terror-free region’, which was initiated by the People’s Alliance and carried out as a state project. I would like to express my gratitude once again to our esteemed President and Mr. Devlet Bahçeli for demonstrating this will.”

Thanking the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş, and the National Solidarity, Fraternity and Democracy Commission for their contributions to the process, Çiftçi said, “Hopefully, in the coming period, no one will be able to stop our determined march towards the goals of the Turkey Century vision. The will that determines the direction of this nation will again be its own will.” he said.

Çiftçi pointed out that, as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the fight against crime and criminals will continue without complacency, by developing strategies that will eliminate crime at its source, and said, “We will further strengthen the environment of peace and trust. Our motto is clear: Peace together, trust together. We will be with our citizens in every inch of land, in every province, in every district of Türkiye. We will make the compassion and power of the state feel at the same time.” he said.

Çorum Governor Ali Çalgan, AK Party Çorum Deputy Yusuf Ahlatcı and Çorum Mayor Halil İbrahim Aşgın also wished Minister Çiftçi success in his new position.

“I hope God will make our unity and solidarity permanent. As the Ministry, we held iftar in 390 thousand households in Ramadan last year alone.” Göktaş stated that they continued this mobilization this year as well.

PROMISE OF SUPPORT FOR NEW PROJECTS

Göktaş said: “In line with the instructions of our President, we held an organizational meeting in Batman with the appointment of our AK Party, and under the coordination of our Governorship, we planted the seeds of an exemplary model of addiction struggle in Batman. We will spread it to the whole of Türkiye in the near future. It is truly a pleasure for us to come together with our valued citizens.”

Stating that they have taken great steps in the field of social policy as well as work and service policy in Batman, Göktaş stated that they promised to support new projects in this context.

“HAPPY MONTH OF RAMADAN”

Stating that the city is an exemplary province in every respect, Göktaş continued as follows:

“This social complex is one of the first places I came to in Batman. I would like to congratulate and thank our esteemed MP Ferhat Nasıroğlu and his entire family. This is now truly the home of the nation. You do not need to go to other places for the Ramadan enthusiasm. Ramadan is now experienced in Batman for 30 days with enthusiasm and love, in a festive atmosphere where children, adults and families will have a good time. I would like to thank our MP who has devoted his heart to Batman. Today too We shared one of the most beautiful evenings of Ramadan together. When we entered, our children welcomed us and their enthusiasm shows us how they spent Ramadan and what the month of Ramadan makes us feel. Ramadan means unity, sharing and abundance. I hope we will continue to share this month of abundance together. May our Ramadan be blessed. May God accept our fasts.

AK Party Deputy Chairman Ahmet Büyükgümüş had an iftar meal with citizens in the ‘GençNokta’ iftar tent, which was established since 2007 to commemorate the start of Ramadan. Making a statement before the iftar, Büyükgümüş stated that recently a war has been declared on the values ​​of the Turkish nation, using the principle of secularism as an excuse, and said, “We have put forward a picture in Ramadan where young people and children can benefit from the Ramadan climate at the highest level. We will take this even further. We will never hold back just because those gentlemen are disturbed.”

“AK GENÇLİK WILL CONTINUE TO STAND BY YOUTH”

Stating that they will continue on their way with determination, Büyükgümüş continued as follows: “If we have fought with dignity but also courage, we will continue our stance against those who try to collapse on society like a nightmare by returning to old Turkish habits and using the principle of secularism as an excuse for other things. I believe that AK Youth will continue to stand by young people wherever there are young people in every corner of Türkiye, in our 973 districts, 81 provinces.”
