Noting that a memorandum of understanding was signed with Japan in this field and that negotiations are continuing with China and Austria, Ersoy said that their goal is to bring the thousands of years of experience of Anatolia to wider audiences.

A NEW ERA IN PROMOTION: STORYTELLING

Pointing out that the concept of promotion has changed in the world, Ersoy stated that nowadays people not only want to see a destination, but also want to be a part of a story. Pointing to the work of the Turkey Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (TGA) in this regard, Ersoy said that they implemented a new model in the promotion of Türkiye that centers the digital world, is data-based and follows global trends.

Stating that they carry out promotional activities in approximately 200 countries of the world with the GoTürkiye brand, Ersoy noted that they have developed new projects centered on storytelling as well as commercials. Stating that they also benefited from the worldwide influence of Turkish TV series, Ersoy stated that the cities, cultural heritage and life culture were brought to millions of people with the mini series projects prepared under the coordination of TGA. Ersoy emphasized that Türkiye stands out today as a destination that is not only visited but also experienced, and said that they will continue to explain culture, history, gastronomy and life culture to the world with the communication tools of the age.

“WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALIZING”

“Why do we care about family values?” Göktaş asked, emphasizing that societies, states and nations that draw strength from the family are more resilient and stronger.

“Now, we have declared the period 2026-2035 as the ‘Decade of Family and Population’ with the directives of our President. So why did we feel the need to declare this?” Minister Göktaş said:

“Our population is getting older. As you know, family values are actually very important in these geographies. It is very valuable to take care of the elders, to look after the little ones as blessings, to eat as a family, to share as a family, but now our values are changing. We all have a phone in our hands, a technology in our hands. We are all becoming lonely, individualized, and in fact, loneliness is always starting to be presented to us as a beauty both on social media and in traditional channels. The number of people living alone is increasing. Our age at marriage is being postponed and we are having children late, our number of children is increasing.” “It is decreasing. Therefore, we are getting older as a country. Our population is getting older. The whole world is getting older.”

Stating that they declared the “Decade of Family and Population” in order to protect family values, Göktaş said, “We stand by our young people between the ages of 18 and 29, who want to start a family. Our state offers a loan support of 250 thousand liras to our young people between the ages of 18-25, with a 2-year grace period and a 4-year maturity. Well, let’s say this couple has a child, we write off their loan for one year and it is postponed for another 12 months. “When they have two children, we donate the entire loan within 4 or 5 years. Our President announced this last month. We have married 80 thousand couples so far within the scope of this loan. We have had 11,600 babies in one year.” he said.

“OUR YOUTH ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THIS SUPPORT”

Stating that they offer 200 thousand liras of support to young people between the ages of 26 and 29, Göktaş said, “Who gets married with 200-250 thousand liras?” We receive criticism from time to time, but our young people are very happy with this support. ‘Our state is with you in every aspect of your life.’ We emphasize the message very clearly. “We support our young people who want to get married, we provide them with education before they get married, and we support them when they have children.” he said.

Emphasizing that they provide regular support to 38 thousand 702 mothers every month in Diyarbakır, Göktaş said that they have made payments to 1 million 50 thousand 401 mothers who gave birth in just one year throughout Turkey.

“WE PAID 828 MILLION LIRA TO DIYARBAKIR”

Stating that there are 26 thousand 410 mothers benefiting from regular payments in Diyarbakır, Göktaş said, “In this context, we paid 828 million liras to Diyarbakır within the scope of birth aid alone. In Turkey, 18 billion liras are paid only for the support we provide to newborn babies in one year. Of course, we are taking such steps in order to raise awareness of the ‘Family Year’ and to further strengthen the strong steps between families. We want to spread this awareness throughout Turkey.” We want it.” he said.

Göktaş concluded his words as follows:

“What did we say in the past? Our elders are the crown of our heads, children are the blessing of our home, in fact, it still is. Turkish nation, Turkish youth, we are a nation that still believes in babies, marriage and children. We will continue to take determined steps to protect these values, our population, our young and dynamic population structure. Today, this festival is a very valuable step for us to raise awareness. At the same time, we brought together our families who benefit from the services of our Ministry. In fact, the most beautiful face of this house, this conversation We have children. We are proud of all of you. Under the leadership of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, we will continue to stand by our families, strengthen our children, and say ‘Strong family, strong Turkey’. Hopefully, these beautiful children will continue to build the Turkey of tomorrow.

“FAMILY IS THE AGE OF HUMAN HISTORY, THE MOST ANCIENT, AND WITHOUT DOUBT THE MOST IMPORTANT STRUCTURE”

Governor Murat Zorluoğlu also said that the family institution has existed in different forms in all civilizations throughout history, but has been at the center of the social order in every period.

Pointing out that the family plays an important role in ensuring social order and transferring values, Zorluoğlu said, “Family is the most ancient, most widespread and undoubtedly the most important structure among social institutions, as old as human history. The family institution has existed in various forms in different civilizations and cultures throughout history, but has maintained its feature of being one of the indispensable elements of the social structure in every period.” he said.

Emphasizing that family in Anatolia means patience, labor and loyalty, Zorluoğlu said, “In Anatolia, family means patience, labor and loyalty. It means growing the joy in good times and sharing the burden in difficult times. It is the most precious bond that brings together mother’s prayer, father’s advice, the experience of elders and the joy of children at the same table.” he said.

AK Party Diyarbakır Deputy Suna Kepolu Ataman also emphasized that family is a very strong social value in the region.

The crisis in CHP following the absolute nullity decision is deepening day by day. The tension between Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and Özgür Özel, who returned to the Chairman’s seat, reached its peak with the “expulsion” move. CHP Spokesperson Müslim Sarı made statements regarding the process in the party.

“THERE IS NO SUCH TITLE ON OUR AGENDA”

Responding to the expulsion allegations of Özgür Özel and Ekrem İmamoğlu, Müslim Sarı said, “We did not discuss expulsions in our meeting. Such a topic is not on our agenda at the moment.”

“AS WE EXTENDED OUR HANDS, THEIR FRIENDS SHOCKED FISTS”

CHP Spokesperson Müslim Sarı’s statements are as follows:

“We have been going through a process since May 21, we, as friends who carry out the compulsory and legal process, wanted to find a middle ground, talk and create a dialogue mechanism within the current legal order but including our own political approaches, by exercising the collective mind without excluding our other friends.

We wanted to establish a dialogue committee. We made a decision on this issue at MYK. There were well-intentioned initiatives. Our brothers and 3 mayors working in our party wanted to find a middle ground. However, these attempts did not yield positive results. Even though we kept the door to dialogue open, our friends clenched their fists as we extended our hands. This is a difficult process for us. We made good faith efforts. We reached a point where we were exhausted and a kind of two-headedness emerged in the party.
