In the statement of the Van Bar Association, the following statements were made: “The investigation file regarding the death of Rojin Kabaiş, who died suspiciously in Van, has been followed with great care by the case tracking team formed by the Van Bar Association since the first day of the incident; all necessary legal initiatives have been taken in order to reveal the material truth, conduct an effective investigation and ensure justice is served. At this stage, the file given by Mr. Nizamettin Kabaiş, the father of the late Rojin Kabaiş, who is included in the file as a complainant. We have come to the conclusion that the difficulty in the fight for justice and the deep psychological wear caused by the unsolved suspicious death have made it difficult to maintain healthy communication and coordination with the father regarding the follow-up of the file. We understand this difficult process that the father is going through and its effects. Therefore, in order to prevent the file from losing its rights in the next stage and to carry out the process in a more healthy way, as the Van Bar Association case tracking team and lawyers authorized with a special power of attorney, we have decided to withdraw from the file. “It does not mean that we have taken a step back from the values we hold. We, as the Van Bar Association, declare that we will continue to follow our determination in the eyes of the public to shed light on all aspects of Rojin Kabaiş’s death and to hold those responsible accountable before the judiciary.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made a statement at the closing ceremony of the AK Party consultation and evaluation camp.

Highlights from President Erdoğan’s statements are as follows:

I would like to thank all my friends who attended our meeting and contributed with their ideas, criticisms and observations.

We opened a brand new page in Türkiye by establishing the AK Party on August 14, 2001. He transformed Türkiye and brought a new and original perspective. Today, if we are talking about a quarter-century-old epic full of success at every stage, the bridges of the heart have their share. We are open to all kinds of suggestions and all kinds of constructive criticism on every page. We wanted to bring together all the colors of Türkiye under the roof of our party. There is a book about Türkiye. We have not compromised on these principles for 25 years, we have not given up on renewing ourselves and expanding our horizons. Our meetings, which have become a brand in their field in our country and in the world, have a special position in the world. Our consultation meetings have turned into a brand in our country and around the world.

“WE RECEIVED THE FEEDBACK FROM THE FIELD”

Our ministerial friends shared their current work with the participants in common sense sessions on topics such as security, development, economy and society. We noted the suggestions and criticisms one by one. Participants conveyed both their questions and problems to our cabinet members. We received the feedback provided by the field. We have seen once again the capacity of the AK Party’s kitchen to guide Türkiye.

We set out 25 years ago knowing what we aspired to serve the nation, and we went out with a shared destiny. When we overcame an obstacle, bigger goals appeared before us. We encountered very large walls, and we came to this day by knocking down and demolishing the embankments one by one. This dear nation entrusted us with a sacred trust 25 years ago. He entrusted his longings and dreams to him. We have achieved a great success story in a quarter of a century. Being tired and sweating together for a quarter of a century has made me extremely happy as your companion. I felt proud to be a soldier of such a movement and to be a part of the quarter-century-old epic. We will continue to walk arm in arm on this path we set out for the nation, the country, and the children for many more years.

We went where no politician had gone before. We traveled throughout Türkiye many times. We visited all over the world. Among them, there were places that were never visited. Just as we opened Ankara to Türkiye in domestic politics, we also opened it to the world in foreign policy. We embraced geographies that were left out of coverage. We tried to be there wherever we were needed in Türkiye. Just as we are bigger than Türkiye, the AK Party is a much bigger movement than its members. This movement is the hope of not only 86 million people but also the ummah. You are Gaza’s only hope. You are the hope of the rising Damascus, the hope of Mogadishu and Beirut. Remember, Nicosia and Baku are looking after you. We are a movement that receives the prayers not only of our own people but also of the oppressed all over the world. We have a debt to pay to the oppressed.

The incident took place on Sunday, June 21, in Meşrutiyet District. According to the information obtained, Aysel H. noticed that a person was following her while she was walking on the street. The suspect, identified as SG (29), walked away from the street quickly after harassing Aysel H. verbally and trying to make physical contact with her. The investigation was initiated upon the application of Aysel H., who went to the police station after the incident and filed a complaint. Police teams examined the surrounding security camera footage and determined that the suspect they identified was SG (29).

ŞİŞLİ PUBLIC ORDER POLICY CAUGHT

As the investigation continued, it was determined that SG was working in a bakery in Şişli. It was determined that the suspect, who was detained while making bread, was working without insurance, and administrative proceedings were initiated against the workplace. SG, who was referred to the courthouse for the crime of ‘Sexual harassment’ after his procedures at the police station, was arrested in the court and sent to prison. The moment of the incident was captured on the security camera of a nearby workplace.

‘I DIAGNOSED’

Aysel H., who made a statement on her virtual media account after what she experienced, said, “I was at the Şişli Police Department all day today. I gave my statement. While I was giving my statement, I learned that the person was detected and caught as a result of the intense and meticulous work of the teams and the camera recordings watched for hours. The person was brought to the police station and I identified him. While I was there, all the details were shared with me, the process was shared. That’s why I really thank the teams. Şişli Police Department, especially the Public Order Bureau, did a very meticulous work. “They identified and caught the person in a short time, I thank them,” he said.

The NATO Summit to be held in Ankara will also make a difference with its refreshments. Guests will be offered uniquely delicious dishes, especially Türkiye’s geographically indicated products, with recipes taken from the book “Turkish Cuisine with Centuries-Old Recipes” prepared under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s wife, Emine Erdoğan.
In order to welcome foreign guests coming to Ankara in the best possible way, orders for nuts and dried fruits to decorate the catering plates were also made. Hundreds of kilograms of dried nuts such as figs, walnuts, apricots, raisins, pistachios, hazelnuts and roasted chickpeas were ordered from Gimat tradesmen, Ankara’s food warehouse, to be served at the summit.
While it is learned that there are raw, unroasted nuts as well as roasted nuts among the orders placed, it is expected that leaders, such as French President Emmanuel Macron, who are already considering running tracks, will prefer these products, which are known to be healthier. It is estimated that the best options for Macron are nuts such as figs and apricots.
On the other hand, US leader Donald Trump, one of the countries to which Türkiye exports the most hazelnuts, will be able to taste Turkish hazelnuts in Türkiye this time, which will add even more energy to his energetic identity.
Muhammet Burak Çiğdem, President of All Nuts Industrialists’ and Businessmen’s Association (TÜKSİAD), stated that Türkiye has a significant market share in the nuts and dried fruit sector and said, “We have nuts and dried fruit exports of approximately 4.5 billion dollars. Leaders will have the opportunity to taste our products at the NATO summit in Ankara.”
