We are starting a new phase called Türkiye Century Meetings. From August 8 to September 15, we are starting a new study where we will meet our citizens. Our President gave the relevant instructions in this new period.
In order to complete the process of termination of the PKK by leaving arms, the commission in the Assembly started its work. The Assembly dominates the agenda and the commission is dominated by the agenda. We see that other than the purpose of the establishment of the commission, explanations are made. You shouldn’t lose the focus. The focus is to terminate the PKK and release weapons. From time to time, constitutional debates are held, it has nothing to do with this issue. It is our goal to bring a civil constitution to our country. We continue our work on this. The process is the goal of reaching Türkiye without terrorism. We always express how critical it is. We will also deliver how we look at the issue and evaluations to our citizens in Türkiye’s century meetings. We will also make visits to our families of martyrs. The society will be instrumental in the elimination of concerns from the variety of segments.
Fake diploma scandal
There is a crime network that tries to carry out these activities within the state on the fake diploma and driver’s licenses. This issue was identified by the State Institutions 1 year ago and these investigations were carried out by the Ankara Prosecutor’s Office. As of May 21, this year has been converted into a case, evidence has been collected. Everything has been followed and put in the file. There is a situation that state institutions noticed 1 year in advance. The relevant institutions were warned. We will go to the end. We will not give the slander to our friends. We will dismantle whatever is a forgery. Our institutions do their duty. It will be done and all of these done will be engraved with a razor. Law does the safety duty. Disinformation emerged and all of them denied.
They’re trying to turn this into a discussion between parties. They’re trying to attack our party friends. These are nothing but sabotage attempt. There are detainees, those under judicial control and there are those who are done about it. It was made from the moment it was first noticed. The issue has become a judicial process. We will share all kinds of information reaching us. We would like to thank well -intentioned warnings, but we will not allow sabotages that will try to turn it into a partisan debate.
The massacre network should be tried
We closely follow the issue of Palestine and Gaza. In terms of humanitarian aid, the aid we send there, the case we include with South Africa, and all these are concrete actions that reveal the most effective strategy against the Zionist genocide network. All genocide crimes are committed to the judiciary of the massacre network. They account for these as the Nazis did. They should account for their genocide. Anyone who encourages them will have to face Nazi actions. We would like to thank all the countries that recognize the Palestinian state.

I would like to share with you here: Türkiye ranks first in the world archeology in the land surface and underwater discoveries. From the cave excavations to the Stone Hills project, from our mounds to classical cities, from Ahlat Selçuklu Square Cemetery to Malazgirt war area research, we reveal the ancient past of Anatolia in different aspects.
In 2023, we started the inheritance project for the future, which is the most comprehensive archeology work in our Republican history. With this project, we increased the resource allocated to archeology in Türkiye. We have increased the number of excavation presidencies all over our country from 151 to 250 in the last seven years.

We managed to get the results of our inheritance project in the future in a short time. The most concrete outputs of the project showed itself in excavation times. Previously excavations, you know, it was done over a limited period of time, the excavation season consisted of about 90 days.
