Lack of interest drives children to crime – Last Minute News
According to the research conducted by the Turkish Grand National Assembly Investigation Commission on Children Driven to Crime on children in prison, most of the children think that they are not loved. University of Health Sciences Faculty Member Prof. Dr. Toker Ergüder, Ankara University Faculty Member Prof. Dr. The report prepared by Betül Ulukol and the academic team was presented to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey Investigation Commission on Children Driven to Crime yesterday. The results of the unique research, conducted with 607 children and 70 questions, are as follows:
THEIR FAMILIES ARE GUILTY TOO
Of the children, 43.5 percent of whom commit crimes in their families, 60.6 percent of them have people around them who commit crimes. It was determined that 37.6 percent of the children ran away from home and 6.9 percent ran away from prison. 40 percent of children have experienced violence outside the home at least once, and 26.9 percent have been threatened with a knife or gun at least once in their lives. The places where children spend the most time with their friends are 79.4 percent in streets and neighborhoods, and 68.2 percent in unsupervised open spaces such as parks and gardens.

THEY DON’T GO TO SCHOOL
It was observed that 93.7 percent of the children dragged into crime, most of whom were between the ages of 15-17, committed criminal offences. 51.1 percent of the children dropped out of school before going to prison, and the rate of those who attend regular school is 28.7 percent. 83.4 percent of children in prison use cigarettes, and 53.9 percent use drugs and stimulants. 72.5 percent of children use social media for more than 1 hour a day. 32.3 percent of children have played a game of chance at least once before, and the frequency and rate of regular playing is around 10 percent.

Israel is committing spatial, intellectual and religious genocide
AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik spoke briefly as follows before the AK Party Central Executive Board meeting held under the chairmanship of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan:
Today, the sole responsibility for the crisis and the negativity affecting 8 billion people is the attack on Iran by the USA and Israel. There is no justification for this. What needs to be done in the first stage is to end the unjust and unlawful aggression of the USA and Israel.
We see that the genocidal policy of Israeli aggression continues in other areas as well as physically killing people. It commits spatial, intellectual and religious genocide. While the Iran war continues, we see that some people are taking our eyes off Gaza and the West Bank, and we will definitely not allow this.
We know that the Israeli side is working intensively to draw our Kurdish brothers into this war by meeting with certain groups and certain actors. Our Kurdish brothers in Iran and our Kurdish brothers in Northern Iraq acted prudently. Important Kurdish opinion leaders stated that they would not be a part of this war in any way. What is important is the common sense approach of our Kurdish brothers.
(Israeli parliament’s death sentence) This is clear racism, clear discrimination and crime. The Israeli Parliament enacts the death penalty to be applied only to Palestinians. It is the most damning decision taken in a parliament, it is shameful. We condemn and categorically reject it.

This country is not the plunder of the CHP
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the AK Party TBMM Group Meeting.
WITHOUT BREAKING, WITHOUT SPILLING: We will hopefully continue to increase the momentum we gained during Ramadan. We will continue on our way, as we have for 23 years, without breaking, spilling or dividing, on the contrary, by winning hearts and conquering hearts, and we will add night to day in order to receive the blessings of our nation.
WE FOCUSED ON SERVING THE NATION: While we were surrounded by a ring of fire and missiles and drones were flying in the air just beyond our borders, we stayed away from any political discussions that would disrupt our concentration and keep us busy. Everyone should know that our silence was not because we tolerated the slanders and rudeness, but on the contrary, it was due to our good manners and dignity. As we have done for 23 years, we have made an effort not to talk one word after another, but to throw stones at stones. We are in a struggle to make Türkiye a global player. We are taking firm steps towards our vision of the Türkiye Century, without getting caught up in the virtual agendas fueled by the opposition.

CHP WROTE THE BOOK OF COUPISM: It is neither the right nor the place of anyone, including the head of the main opposition, to criticize the President of this country and the ruling party in a very lowly manner and to insult them with very ugly expressions. Because CHP wrote the book on coupism and juntaism in this country. If you look at Turkish political history, you will see the CHP walking arm in arm with the coup plotters, there you will find the CHP acting as a host to the coup plotters in misty weather, there you will find the CHP preparing the ground for the coup with the lie that ‘university students are put through meat grinders’,
POOR MOUTH, POOR MOOD: Unfortunately, in the chairmanship of the main opposition party, there is a character who is foul-mouthed, in a bad mood, and who throws insults at everyone he comes across, and whose face does not even turn red from his insults. I know very well that our CHP citizens are disturbed by these increasingly reckless discourses and this lack of reason and morality. I do not complain about this disgrace to anyone, but to my beloved nation, I leave it to my beloved nation.

YOU DID NOT DEAL WITH THOSE WHO PERFORM CORRUPTION: As much as you dealt with those who reported corruption and those who said ‘I gave a bribe’, you did not deal with those who took bribes, those who committed corruption, those who extorted tradesmen, and those with poor character who turned municipalities into a waste. I’m sorry, but this country is not CHP’s domination. Municipal resources are not the preserve of CHP mayors. Therefore, no one can say to you, ‘Eat, gentlemen, eat. It doesn’t say ‘eat until you’re full, until you’re hungry, until you’re hungry’. He can’t say, he won’t say. In the Republic of Türkiye, no one has the privilege to commit crimes, commit corruption, or betray the trust of the nation. The days when the law of the superiors dominated remained in old Türkiye. Gone are the days when those who steal and rob will get away with it.

WE ARE DETERMINED TO KEEP Türkiye AWAY FROM FIRE
President Erdoğan stated that Israel and Netanyahu are primarily responsible for the war in the region: Our priority is for our country to get through this stormy period without any trouble. We are determined to keep Türkiye away from this fire. As the government, we are managing this process on a cautious, moderate, balanced and rational basis, without falling into the traps that the opposition wants to pull us into.
President Erdoğan met with the Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Numan Kurtulmuş. Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz and AK Party Group Chairman Abdullah Güler also took part in the half-hour meeting.
NATIONS KNOW VERY WELL HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE THE CURVE FROM THE DIRECT
The Turkish nation is a nation with wisdom, foresight and foresight. You cannot deceive or deceive this nation. You cannot make this nation think of political juggling, acrobatics, and talk as ‘politics’. This dear nation knows very well how to distinguish the honest from the honest, the sincere from the fraudulent, the liar from the honest, the moral from the immoral, and how to distinguish between them. Our nation clearly sees the difference in level, style, quality, stance and vision between the AK Party and the People’s Alliance and the main opposition party CHP. Our nation follows CHP’s aggressive rhetoric, which does not take a break even during Ramadan and has become even more ugly in recent days. They should not forget that by turning every opportunity they get into a symphony of insults against us and our party, they will only humiliate themselves, not us and our party. We have never been a tool in this game and we never will be. We will not allow anger, hatred, the language of conflict and fight to poison politics, especially in the sensitive period we are going through. But we will also know very well that putting people in their place when necessary is better than dressing 40 orphans.

SUPPORTING THE COUPISTS IS CHP’S NATIONAL SPORT
In Türkiye’s dictionary of political terms, CHP is written opposite the adjectives coup plotter and juntaist. Coupism is the character, spirit and identity of the CHP. Supporting the coup and the coup plotters is CHP’s national sport. In their eyes, young people are consumables that can sometimes be used to prepare the environment for coups and sometimes to whitewash corruption. CHP is the embodiment, embodiment and embodiment of coupism. Just as tin can does not turn into gold by painting it yellow, the coupist mentality ingrained in the CHP’s genes does not change either.

“COOPERATION BETWEEN JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES IS IMPORTANT”
Noting that cooperation and bilateral relations in the field of justice constitute an important dimension, Minister Gürlek evaluated: “We attach importance to the mutual cooperation of the two countries, especially in the judicial sense, on issues such as organized crimes, the fight against organized crimes, drug trafficking, immigrant smuggling, laundering of proceeds of crime. Cooperation between judicial authorities will also strengthen the cooperation between countries and will also undertake an important task in terms of the effectiveness of international justice.”
“THE FIGHT AGAINST FETO CONTINUES WITH DETERMINATION”

However, unfortunately, some problems arose in the fulfillment of these requests. Our country’s determined struggle against the FETO terrorist organization, which especially targets the constitutional order and usurps the national will, continues. In this context, the Dutch authorities, whom we see as a friendly and ally country, especially in terms of legal aid. We hope that he will help and cooperate with us in terms of extradition and extradition of criminals.
WE HAVE AN EXTRADITION REQUEST FOR 217 FETO Members, 8 PKK Members
Explaining that Türkiye has been fighting the PKK terrorist organization for more than 40 years, Gürlek reminded that the PKK terrorist organization is also recognized as a terrorist organization by the European Union. “Unfortunately, we see that our extradition requests within the scope of the PKK terrorist organization, especially within the scope of FETO, have not yielded positive results,” said Minister Gürlek, adding: “We currently have 217 extradition requests from the FETO terrorist organization and 8 extradition requests from the PKK terrorist organization. Since we see the Netherlands as an ally country, we request the extradition of these criminals within the scope of judicial cooperation on this issue. In addition, members of both terrorist organizations should not be granted refugee or residence rights in the Netherlands, and those that have been granted should be re-evaluated.” We request that this matter be reconsidered.”
“WE DEMAND THE EXTRADITION OF MUSA AŞOĞLU FROM THE NETHERLANDS”
Stating that yesterday was the anniversary of the martyrdom of Public Prosecutor Mehmet Selim Kiraz, Minister Gürlek said, “As you know, I was appointed as the Minister of Justice after working as a prosecutor. Our colleague, the Public Prosecutor, and also our colleague, was first captured by a member of the DHKP-C terrorist organization and then brutally murdered.”
Minister Gürlek stated that the trial of Musa Aşoğlu, the leader of the DHKP-C terrorist organization, who ordered this vile attack, is continuing at the Istanbul 26th High Criminal Court and said, “We demand the extradition of Musa Aşoğlu, the leader of this terrorist organization, to our country from the Netherlands as a result of the trial. Unfortunately, no positive steps have been taken on this issue so far. We sincerely believe that the demands and important sensitivities we have expressed will be met by the Dutch authorities.”
EMPHASIS ON COOPERATION IN THE FIGHT AGAINST INTERNATIONAL CRIME
Explaining that in addition to the fight against terrorism, there are extradition agreements within the scope of legal aid with many countries within the scope of the fight against other international crimes, especially drug trafficking, money laundering and human trafficking, Minister Gürlek said, “As a result of the simultaneous operation carried out between the Netherlands and Turkey in April last year, drug traffickers were caught and their evidence along with the proceeds of crime were seized, thanks to the ‘Cloud Operation’. In this context, we expect the extradition requests of those who were found to be in the Netherlands and who had an arrest warrant for drug trafficking crimes to be fulfilled in the same way to our country.” he said.
RACISM MOVEMENTS INCREASING IN EUROPE
Minister Gürlek noted that the presence of the Turkish community in the Netherlands, the security and peace of the citizens are of particular importance, and said that in this context, they follow with concern the tendencies of racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia, which are increasing especially in Western Europe.
Minister Gürlek said that they have observed that such threats have been increasing recently, and that they were saddened to learn that two Muslim women were subjected to police violence in the Netherlands in late January. Minister Gürlek stated that they believe that necessary precautions should be taken against such incidents. Stating that he is of the opinion that today’s meeting will take the cooperation even further, Minister Gürlek said, “We hope that the sincerity and the law of brotherhood between us and our ally, the Netherlands, will go even further.” he said.
