In the earthquake known as the “disaster of the century”, mother Tunç’s 2 daughters, who were trapped under the rubble in Hatay with their 3 children, lost their lives.

In this context, TOGEM-DER, whose Honorary President is Emine Erdoğan, stepped in to supply the bionic elbow module of the prosthesis, which costs 2 million 100 thousand liras, and the microprocessor five-fingered hand component of the prosthetic system. The necessary money was covered by the association and the elbow module was ordered. After obtaining the missing part, Tunç got the prosthetic arm he dreamed of.

EMINE ERDOĞAN’S INSTRUCTION
TOGEM-DER President Mihrimah Belma Sekmen said, “Emine Erdoğan watched Ms. Halime on television programs. They instructed us to contact her and do whatever was necessary. We did the necessary work.” Halime Nuray Tunç, who received her prosthesis, expressed her feelings as follows: “I received a phone call. They said, ‘We are calling from TOGEMDER. First Lady Erdoğan is calling us, they want us to take care of it’. When they said that the prosthesis would be completed, we were very surprised, very emotional, we did not know what to do, we were very happy. I feel very different now, I cannot express it, frankly, I am so happy.” TOGEM-DER President Sekmen also gifted a computer to Tunç’s 10-year-old daughter İrem.

Accordingly, phone holders mounted on the windshield, vehicle cameras and equipment within the specified dimensions can be used, provided that they do not obstruct the driver’s field of vision. With the amendment made to the Highway Traffic Regulation, the rules regarding the driver’s field of vision, display devices, phone holders, vehicle cameras and audio systems in vehicles have been rearranged. In his post on his social media account, Minister of Internal Affairs Mustafa Çiftçi gave information about phone holders and vehicle cameras: “Phone holders mounted on the windshield, vehicle cameras and equipment within the specified dimensions can be used, provided that they do not obstruct the driver’s field of vision. Thus, hesitations about the use of navigation and vehicle cameras will be eliminated.”

Regarding the accessories hung on the rearview mirror, Çiftçi shared his assessment: “Fragrance and similar accessories will not be within the scope of the ban as long as they do not block the driver’s field of vision and do not endanger driving safety.” Regarding multimedia and smart screens, Çiftçi stated, “No penalty will be applied to factory-made screens and screens used for navigation, parking support, interior and exterior cameras, recording devices and system settings.”

WHAT IS THE SITUATION IN BUSES?
Çiftçi stated that the use of individual audio and video devices placed on the seats or in suitable areas within the vehicle, which are available to passengers in buses and minibuses, will continue and said, “We will continue to work with an understanding that clarifies the rules, ensures unity in practice, protects the rights of our drivers and never compromises traffic safety.”

VISA FOR A SOUND SYSTEM IN COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS
Regarding in-car sound systems, Çiftçi said: “It will be possible to use sound systems, subwoofers and amplifiers that comply with the specified technical standards. As long as the sound does not disturb the public peace by spilling out of the vehicle, no criminal action will be taken just because there is a sound system in the vehicle. In order to take action regarding the sound systems, it will be necessary to concretely detect and record that the sound is disturbing the peace of the environment by spilling outside the vehicle.”

Because the threat is like that. The threat is also effective, simple and cheap.

The ability to shoot effectively against a target that is very small and very difficult to manage and predict, and the ability to eliminate those targets, is an advanced technology. Today’s “With TOLGA, we aimed for the things you put forward to be cheap and effective, and with this self-confidence, TOLGA once again proved its worth with live shootings in front of the military and civilian delegations of so many countries,” he said.

GOING INTO PRODUCTION

In other words, we will be producing TOLGA in different geographies of the world, some of it in Türkiye and some locally, and providing it to the service of these countries.” spoke.

After Göktaş was detained due to the statements he used in his stand-up show, the Friday sermon sent by Diyanet to mosques all over Türkiye attracted attention. It was stated that the holy people were sometimes mocked in the sermon under the name of humor. The following statements were included in the sermon: “Consumption culture brought by the modern age, unconscious use of digital channels, and sometimes ridiculing our sacred values ​​under the name of humor, are alienating our children from our values ​​day by day. Pure minds face the risk of being lost in the vortex of superstitions, perverted movements, addiction and peer bullying.”
