They promised 169 facilities but did not deliver 127
The Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, which took rapid action after the mucilage crisis in 2021, announced the 22-item Marmara Sea Action Plan to the public. Within the scope of Article 5 of the plan, municipalities bordering the Marmara Sea were required to convert their wastewater treatment facilities into advanced biological wastewater treatment facilities. Municipalities also made a commitment to realize this investment and signed the relevant protocol. This title, which is the most important step of the action plan, could not be fully implemented due to the endless stalling methods of CHP municipalities.

Adding an article to the Environmental Law on June 10, 2022, the Ministry asked the municipalities that do not have advanced wastewater treatment facilities in the 7 provinces on the Marmara coast to prepare their work deadline plans within 6 months. The establishment of these facilities within 3 years was also required by law. As of June 10, 2025, only 42 of the 169 committed facilities have been completed. While the careless attitude of CHP municipalities left its mark on the process, it was reported that the AK Party’s Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality differentiated itself positively from other local governments with the concrete steps it took and remained largely faithful to its action plan. According to the latest information obtained, CHP municipalities have not taken any concrete initiative to fulfill their commitments since June 10, 2025. It has been learned that some municipalities act with the philosophy of “We will continue to pay fines if necessary, we cannot allocate a budget for this investment at the moment”, and that this situation may once again expose the Marmara Sea to a great risk in the future. It was reported that some municipalities continued their rhetoric to prolong the process with statements such as “we are going to tender, we are starting the construction, we are doing the planning”.

‘Terror-free Türkiye’ message from Bahçeli: The ideal of internal peace is becoming reality
MHP leader Bahçeli published a message on the 29th anniversary of the death of his party’s Founding Chairman Alparslan Türkeş.
Commemorating the deceased with mercy and respect, Bahçeli stated that Türkeş was a great idea, cause and statesman who institutionalized the idea of Turkish nationalism and brought it to the masses, turned it into a political project and spread it to the four corners of the country and even beyond the borders.
Stating that the idealist breakthrough he opened gathered national excitement and desires in the same consciousness, Bahçeli said:
“Arguing that it is necessary to unite around a national view in order to protect and strengthen the Republic of Turkey and the Turkish nation and to bring them to the level they deserve in the world, Türkeş said that the salvation of the Turkish nation from all its problems is possible with total development. The late Mr. Türkeş is a man of struggle who left deep traces in the Turkish state and political life. He courageously defended his principles and ideals in stormy years, difficult conditions and troubled periods, and did not compromise his stance and intellectual consistency. He was not deceived by any promise of benefit, “He did not turn away from his path, he was not one of those who sold, was not one of those who were afraid, and was not one of those who abandoned.”
– “He devoted his life to his country, nation and ideals”
Bahçeli stated that the late Türkeş devoted his mortal life to his country, nation and ideals, and that he closely witnessed and was involved in the history of Turkish nationalism, which was full of suffering and struggle.
Emphasizing that he gave a different meaning to this struggle with his presence, Bahçeli pointed out that Türkeş is one of the most important figures in the honorable history of the Turkish nationalism cause that extends to the present day.
Emphasizing that Türkeş, inspired by history, set his eyes on the horizon of the future, Bahçeli said, “He said, ‘I embraced the cause I was entrusted with. I walk without looking back, without hesitation, without paying attention to anything.’ With his words, he showed his determination to pass on the sacred trust of the great Turkish nation, which is carried from hand to hand, from generation to generation.” he said.
– “He did not show any weakness in the face of threats and dangers.”
MHP Chairman Bahçeli emphasized that the late Türkeş described Turkish nationalism as the ideal of “loving the Turkish nation and elevating it” and that he spent his life serving this purpose.
“With his consistent life style and uncompromising stance, he did not tarnish the honor of our cause and did not show weakness in the face of threats and dangers.” Using the expression, Bahçeli underlined that the late Türkeş, a person of great struggle, deep heart and ideal, devoted his life to his sacred cause.
Bahçeli said:
“He did not remain silent in the face of injustice, he planned the great Turkey of the future and talked about it tirelessly. Fortunately, the Nationalist Movement Party has become a political school and school that trains ideas, visions and cadres that can respond to every problem of our country. Our ideas and political struggle have found a response in our beloved nation and in the oppressed hearts. The torch lit by the late Mr. Türkeş will not be extinguished, and his timeless call will never be erased. With glory, The Nationalist Movement Party, which has left 57 years behind with honor, is stronger and more developed today than it was yesterday. The knowledge and experiences we have gained since the establishment of our party in 1969 have become the good news of the construction and revival of the Turkish and Turkish Century. The late Türkeş expressed the cause of Turkish nationalism as ‘the cause of creating a future worthy of the great and glorious past of the Turkish nation’, combining ‘Turkish pride and consciousness with Islamic morality and virtue’. It is based on a melting spiritual foundation.
Türkeş determined the basic philosophy of the Nationalist Movement as ‘love for humanity’ and strengthened the basis of our national unity and solidarity by arguing that ‘true nationalism is to love every person who makes up the nation equally, without any discrimination’. Emphasizing that the greatest strength of the Turkish nation is the unity and solidarity it has shown throughout history, our Prophet said, ‘There is mercy in unity, there is torment in separation.’ He repeated his words frequently. According to him, ‘One of the blessed sources of power of the Turkish nation is the ideal of unity, solidarity and internal peace.’ His phrase ‘the ideal of internal peace’ is an age-old antidote against all kinds of strife, division and separation movements in Türkiye. The vision of Türkiye Without Terrorism, which has gained great social acceptance today, is the realization of the ‘ideal of internal peace’. To truly commemorate Türkeş, to remember his memory, is to understand him correctly, to fully protect his ideals and ideas, and to protect his works and legacy with a high consciousness. “The Nationalist Movement Party and the Ülkü Ocakları, the two sacred trusts of the late Mr. Türkeş, are today the assurance of our nation’s future and independence in safe and competent hands.”
Emphasizing that the nationalist idealist movement will continue to walk on its path with the same principles, Bahçeli said, “In line with the vision of our leader, as the Nationalist Movement Party and the People’s Alliance, we strive to achieve our national aspirations and goals with determined steps, and to build Türkiye, a leading country and superpower in the Turkish and Turkish Century.” he said.

What they said was, ‘Abdülhamit Han, when he was the Ottoman Sultan and the caliph of the Islamic Ummah, sent a representative there. To the end of the world. They did not forget this either.

Director of Communications Duran: Türkiye is the key to peace
Director of Communications Burhanettin Duran, in his statement on his social media account, said, “Our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s recent statements regarding regional and global developments clearly declare that it is a historical responsibility for us to unite around unity, brotherhood and common values. If our country is internationally referred to as ‘Safe Harbor Turkey’, this is the result of our stance that rejects distinctions of race, sect, religion and language and prioritizes the common denominator of humanity. Turkey is a country of hatred.” And instead of the language of conflict, we continue to defend the universal language of peace, justice and mercy. In this context, our country continues to be the key to peace in the midst of chaos and war-mongering. As our President stated, our country stands out with its common-sense and principled policies that read the regional and global developments correctly, as it did yesterday. “Based on our conscientious stance, we will continue to stand by the oppressed wherever there is and to work with all our means for peace and stability,” he said.
