Minister Göktaş: We have brought our social media editing work to the final stage.
“THE ATTITUDE HERE WAS COMPLETELY TOWARDS BLAMING THE FAMILY”
Answering the question about allegations of abuse and violence in a children’s activity center affiliated with Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM), Göktaş reminded that AK Party municipalities have been providing many social services to citizens such as nurseries, nursing homes and elderly care centers for many years.
Minister Göktaş continued as follows:
“I would especially like to express my satisfaction with the local governments providing social services to our citizens. Of course, the issue that draws our attention here is that it is opened under the name of a nursery, but it is actually a children’s activity center, but when they announce it to the public, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality refers to it as a nursery. There is an ambivalent approach here. First of all, if it were to be opened under the name of a nursery, it would have to be obtained through a permit process from the Ministry of Family or the Ministry of National Education and kept under the control mechanism, as many municipalities do. But here, it is especially called such a children’s activity center to be kept out of control. “Ultimately, our aim is to ensure that our children grow up in safe environments, to ensure that they are raised under certain standards, to provide support by staff with sufficient pedagogical formation, to have a sufficient number of children in class-oriented ratios, to have the necessary hygiene arrangements, and to ensure adequate security. These are very important for us.”
Stating that they visited the family after the incident, Göktaş continued his words as follows:
“They claimed that a 3-year-old child was subjected to abuse in the IMM nursery, and they say that they were left alone in this process. And when I listened to the family, I saw that unfortunately they did not receive enough support. The family specifically said, ‘We thought that this nursery was under the supervision of the Ministry.’ In fact, this case was not forwarded to us by IMM. If it was a nursery under the control of the Ministry or licensed by the Ministry, in such a case, it is obliged to first inform the relevant institutions. This is how private nurseries work. This is how our municipal nurseries work. However, since this is an unlicensed and uncontrolled system, IMM claims that they have created a control mechanism entirely within themselves.
We actually state that they should do this entirely within the framework of the law. After obtaining the necessary permissions from both the Ministry of National Education and us, we really care about preventing similar processes from happening again. As a matter of fact, we saw that this case was not isolated. We have seen that there are other similar cases. We wanted to address this issue especially from a post-political perspective. But unfortunately, we see that the attitude here is entirely aimed at blaming the family. Ultimately, there is a family and a child who are victims here. If they had been there for them in the first place, especially the authorities, this process would not have happened this way. “They acted here in a completely defensive position and continued their attacks on us.”
Minister Göktaş explained the work they carried out within the scope of the 2025 Family Year and stated that the 2026-2035 period was declared “10 Years of Family and Population” by President Erdoğan and that they will continue their work focusing on the family in this context.
Regarding the relevant question regarding the Family and Youth Fund, Göktaş stated that the number of applications was 199 thousand 879, 76 thousand 736 couples were married, they paid 9 billion 386 million lira in resources and provided discounts to 2 thousand 46 companies throughout Turkey.
Asked about the Income Supplementary Family Support System, Göktaş noted that they have been working on the model for a long time with 14 different institutions and said, “We have actually reached the final stage of this study. We conducted simulation studies last year. We will provide support to bring the household’s income to a certain income level by including the characteristics of the members living in the household. This year, we started our pilot studies. Next year, hopefully, we will have implemented a 2.0 new generation social support system that we will spread throughout Türkiye.” he said.

Minister Kacır: “Terminal Istanbul will serve as the world’s largest entrepreneurship center”
Kacır made a written statement regarding the Terminal Istanbul project. In the statement, Kacır gave information about the ongoing works of the Terminal Istanbul project at Atatürk Airport and said, “Terminal Istanbul is the initial stage. The first step of the world’s largest entrepreneurship center. Very soon.” he said.
THE WORLD’S LARGEST ENTREPRENEURSHIP CENTER
On the other hand, according to the statement made by the ministry, Terminal Istanbul, which will be established at Atatürk Airport in line with the vision of the National Technology Move, will bring together Türkiye’s technology ecosystem and young entrepreneurs with world giants. The center, which aims to host thousands of entrepreneurs, technology companies and investors, will serve as the world’s largest entrepreneurship center with universal acceleration programs, co-working spaces and incubation centers. Terminal Istanbul will bring global knowledge, capital and experience directly to the Turkish ecosystem, thanks to the established strategic international collaborations. In this context, the partnership established with Techstars, one of the world’s largest accelerators, will be one of the strongest examples of global actors actively taking part within the center. Turkish enterprises’ access to global markets will be systematically supported, thanks to the contacts made in different geographies, especially Pakistan, Qatar, Paris and London, and the connections established with the Turkish diaspora and international technology platforms.
A CLUSTER STRUCTURE WILL BE CREATED
With the Tech Visa program implemented by the Ministry of Industry and Technology, the way will be paved for high-potential startups from different geographies of the world to operate within Terminal Istanbul. While the rapid adaptation of foreign enterprises to the Turkish market will be ensured through “soft landing” programs, grants, exemptions and incentive mechanisms, domestic enterprises will also be supported to expand into global markets. The center will accelerate the commercialization processes of deep technology initiatives, especially with shared laboratories, common access to high-cost devices, consumable supply centers and digital infrastructure solutions. In this way, it is aimed to produce a direct solution to the problem of non-commercialization of academic studies and R&D outputs. In addition, thanks to the cluster structure that will be created with the contribution of domestic technology leaders and global companies in 34 different technology verticals, vertical expertise will be provided in a wide range of fields, from artificial intelligence to biotechnology, from mobility to space technologies.

Interior Minister Çiftçi emphasizes determination in the fight against crime
Minister Çiftçi evaluated the work carried out to prevent such attacks using motorcycles to the AA correspondent.
Stating that operations and preventive security works aimed at eliminating the action capability of armed criminal organizations are carried out uninterruptedly under the coordination of the Ministry, Çiftçi said that the structures using this method are followed by the security units with all their connections.
Emphasizing that the struggle is not limited to the people who carried out the attack, Çiftçi said:
“We target all links of the crime chain, from the person who carried out the attack using the motorcycle to the one who gave the instructions for the action, to the one who provided the weapon and vehicle, to the one who provided escape and shelter. We narrow down the movement area of these structures by carrying out our operational work, intelligence activities and preventive measures together.”
Minister Çiftçi pointed out that some armed criminal organizations use motorcycles to reach the scene quickly, hide their identities and move away from the area after the attack, and stated that changing the method used will not be enough to escape the surveillance of security units.
THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS DECREASED
Minister Çiftçi, who also shared the data regarding the incidents in which firearms were used by motorcycle, said:
“In the period between January 1 and July 16 of last year, there were 165 incidents in which a firearm was used on a motorcycle. In the same period of this year, the number of incidents decreased to 46. Thus, a decrease in these incidents was achieved.”
Çiftçi stated that when the same periods are compared, the number of people who lost their lives in the incidents decreased from 17 to 9, and the number of those injured decreased from 81 to 15.
Stating that the results obtained show the reward of the determined struggle carried out by the security units on the field, Çiftçi concluded his words as follows:
“Each incident is a serious security issue that we must focus on with the same sensitivity. Our goal is not only to reduce the number of incidents, but also to completely eliminate the action capacity of armed criminal organizations. We will not allow those who threaten Türkiye’s security, regardless of the tools and methods they use.”

Gürsel Tekin: Two people can know something that the devil cannot think of
Gürsel Tekin, who was appointed to the Republican People’s Party (CHP) Istanbul Provincial Administration, held a press conference at the CHP Istanbul Provincial Directorate building. Tekin said, “We hold participation days for our party every Saturday. There is great interest. Yesterday, we held a very comprehensive meeting with the participation of our esteemed Chairman. Hundreds of our friends from different political parties joined the party. We are not in a position to look at anyone’s record. I am a person who has been a party manager for a long time with experience. In public places, our managers only take the names of our friends who came and who did not come. In order not to face the operation of a mud media, we took the names of our friends because our hall has a limited number. We kneaded it.” “We have been here for 10 months. Many of our friends come with their own means. Some of our young friends asked us for transportation support because of the large number of them. Apart from that, we cannot afford to spend money.”
‘EVERYONE WHO WANTS CAN PAY AND RENT IT’
Tekin said, “Partyship is a completely voluntary thing. The mayor and administrators of Sarıyer Municipality, who allocated the hall to us, were lynched. Anyone who wants can pay and rent it. You rent the hall of your own municipality and your mayor is lynched. I will explain those gangs. They did something that the devil would never think of. We asked our Şişli Youth Branch President, do you know him: None. Two people can know. First, the media that set this dirty trap, secondly, the prosecutors of our state will know through investigation. We immediately filed a criminal complaint at night. None.” “We were not on the dirty side, we did not set a trap for anyone. Dear prosecutors, you will go to the bottom of the person who set this trap. We will go after the person responsible for this FETO plot. What if there are 70 people missing, what happens if there are more?”
‘AZİZ İHSAN AKTAŞ CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION IS BUSINESSMEN’
Tekin said, “This triangle, which we call the devil’s triangle, whenever I talk about confessors, the chemistry of this dirty media breaks down. Aziz İhsan Aktaş Crime Organization is businessmen. They look for a way to stay powerful in their institutions and buy politicians. This person bought two important actors of the CHP. Özgür Karabat is the second one, Burhanettin Bulut. Özgür Karabat is the one who looks after the financial affairs, and Burhanettin Bulut looks after the media buying.”

Only together we can be strong – Breaking News
Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin visited Bezciyan Private Armenian Primary School and Secondary School in Fatih. Noting that an environment has been created in which all citizens can live on an equal basis in terms of fundamental rights and freedoms since 2002, Tekin said, “We have stood by all the oppressed in Türkiye, whose fundamental rights and freedoms have been taken away, who have been marginalized for ethnic, religious or other reasons, and who have difficulty in exercising their fundamental rights and freedoms, from being able to speak their native language to freedom of worship, especially freedom of belief.” Stating that they have a sincere and productive dialogue with minority schools, Tekin said, “I have never distinguished the problem of a student here from the problem of a student in any of our schools. We can only be strong together. We can only continue our thousands of years old culture of coexistence if we can teach it to our children.” AK Party Istanbul Deputy Sevan Sıvacıoğlu said, “President Erdoğan’s sincere and friendly approach towards minorities has always made us happy, and we are grateful to them.” Meanwhile, Tekin and his entourage also visited the Armenian Patriarchate before the program.
