Turkey Promotion Research Democracy and Secular Formation Foundation (TÜLOV), whose board of trustees includes Manisa Deputy Özgür Özel and Malatya Deputy Veli Ağbaba, has been called ‘Deep CHP’ within the party for many years. In addition to suspicious money traffic, which is the subject of official inspection reports, the foundation is also on the agenda with other grave allegations. Among the names at the forefront of these allegations is Tansu Özcan, Chairman of the Board of Muğla Planning Agency (MUPA), who had a rapid rise when she was an executive assistant at TÜLOV. It was learned that Tansu Özcan was promoted to foundation manager while she was an administrative assistant at İzmir TÜLOV in 2020. It was reported that in 2022, while he was a paid employee of Bodrum Municipality, he went to Izmir for his duty at TÜLOV and received a salary from Bodrum Municipality without going to work for months. It was claimed that many of Özcan’s expenses, such as rent, vehicle fuel and telephone expenses, were covered by the municipality himself during this 2-year period he spent in Izmir. Özcan’s career path accelerated with the election of CHP’s Ahmet Aras, who has strong ties with TÜLOV, as Muğla Metropolitan Municipality Mayor. It was learned that Aras first appointed Özcan as presidential advisor. Again in 2024, it was reported that Özcan was included in the exceptional civil servant staff and became a special secretary for the metropolitan municipality. Muğla Planning Agency (MUPA) was established by Muğla Metropolitan Municipality and Tansu Özcan was appointed as its president.

LOSS 44 MILLION TL
The capital of MUPA, which is reported to have strong ties with Ekrem İmamoğlu’s team, was increased to 132 million in a suspicious manner within 2 years. On the other hand, it is claimed that the loss in MUPA has already climbed to 44 million. It was learned that Tansu Özcan also had high-level relations with the detained Istanbul Planning Agency President (İPA) Buğra Gökçe and former SODEV President Ertan Aksoy, that jobs were directly procured from MUPA and İPA’s Ertan Aksoy’s research company, and that Tansu Özcan currently serves as SODEV’s external relations officer.

SUSPICIOUS TENDERS
It was seen that MUPA commissioned the “Y Generation Research” to Aksoy Research in May 2025 with a contract value of 791 thousand liras, and the Smart City and Urban Information Systems Department awarded the “Muğla Digital Nomat Project” to Aksoy Research in April 2026 with a contract value of 980 thousand liras. It was noted that IPA gave tenders worth 950 thousand liras in May 2026, 349 thousand 500 liras in July 2025, and 365 thousand liras in April 2025.

‘TÜLOV’ FAVORITESM
The foundation named TÜLOV came to the fore with suspicious donation traffic before the 2023 local elections. While the foundation’s income in 2020 was 99 thousand lira, it was determined that this income increased to 37.4 million in 2023, and the suspicious incident was also reflected in the official inspection report of the General Directorate of Foundations. In other details, it was understood that Ahmet Aras, when he was the mayor of Bodrum, allocated a place to the foundation in violation of the legislation, the foundation did not even pay rent for years, and did not vacate the building even though the period expired.

Cudi Mountain and Prophet Muhammad in Şırnak, which were interrupted in 1984 and started again in 2021 with the end of terrorism. The commemoration program for Noah was held in the Sefine Region. Citizens from different provinces of Türkiye also showed great interest in the program, which was organized for the 5th time with the participation of the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş. According to rumors, Hz. The program started with the noon prayer on Mount Cudi, which is considered to be the place where Noah’s Ark landed after the flood. Within the scope of the program, Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Kurtulmuş, Hz. He placed stones as a representation in the construction of the Noah Mosque. Kurtulmuş and the guests then visited the stands of the governorship, municipalities and non-governmental organizations set up in the ceremony area.

THEY LET THE DOVES OF PEACE FLY
Speaking in the program, Kurtulmuş said, “We will sing only songs of brotherhood in these mountains, in these plains, in these cities, in every inch of Türkiye. We will dance halay, we will express our unity, we will express our peace. Now, the mountains where once people could not enter, where unfortunately mothers searched for the fate of their children with tears in their eyes, will now be the lands where peace, brotherhood, humanity, tranquility and the future that we will build together will be built.” In the commemoration program led by President of Religious Affairs Safi Arpaguş, prayers were recited, hymn recitals were performed, and peace doves were flown.

LIGHT DRONE SHOW
On the other hand, on Saturday night, the first day of the program, events were held in Şırnak Recep Tayyip Erdoğan National Garden. Şırnak Governor Birol Ekici, Şırnak Mayor Mehmet Yarka, Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Fatma Şahin, MHP Group Deputy Chairman and Manisa Deputy Erkan Akçay also attended. Hz. A special illuminated drone show was held within the scope of the commemoration ceremony for Noah. While the show was greatly appreciated by the citizens, they immortalized those moments with their mobile phones.

The eyes of the world are on the 36th NATO Summit. Before the summit, which will be attended by 32 heads of state, including US President Donald Trump, and foreign and defense ministers, both the leaders’ statements and the analyzes in the world press continue. Stating that the Ankara Summit will include many turning points, Dutch Chief of General Staff Onno Eichelsheim noted that Türkiye’s role in NATO will further increase as the USA withdraws some of its military capabilities. Eichelsheim said that he was impressed by the level of capability reached by the Turkish defense industry and saw a strong potential for cooperation between the two countries in this field. Based on the analysis in AFP, the UK-based Middle East Eye news site stated that Trump’s arrival in Ankara for the NATO summit could facilitate the supply of F110 engines for Türkiye’s KAAN fighter jet. In the news published in the American Wall Street Journal newspaper, it was noted that the close relationship between Trump and Erdogan strengthened Türkiye’s position within NATO.

ISRAEL IS DISTURBED
In the analysis published in the Wall Street Journal, it was noted that Türkiye’s capacity in the defense industry has gained importance for NATO members. It was also noted that Türkiye has recently strengthened its role as a mediator in diplomatic initiatives and advanced its goal of becoming a regional power. On the other hand, the Israeli press expresses its discomfort, stating that the NATO Summit will further increase Türkiye’s visibility.

Türkiye, NATO’s respected and effective ally, has achieved concrete results in the last 5 years by bringing the challenges NATO is facing today to the alliance’s agenda. Here are the headlines from the agenda of the last 5 summits:
2021 BRUSSELS SUMMIT: Then-US President Joe Biden and President Erdoğan had their first face-to-face meeting with broad agenda items. This summit was the last NATO summit before the Ukraine War. While Ankara’s influence within NATO increased further, it gave the message to the allies that “while protecting our own borders, we also protect NATO’s borders.” At this point, NATO leaders emphasize this issue when it comes to Türkiye.
2022 MADRID SUMMIT: After the Ukrainian War started in February 2022, Sweden and Finland officially applied to join the alliance. Türkiye did not approve the membership of these countries at the first stage, saying that if Sweden and Finland want to become members of the alliance, they should take steps to combat terrorism. Meetings were held and a memorandum was signed within the scope of the summit. The inclusion of PKK/PYD/YPG and FETO terrorist organizations in NATO’s written records for the first time was a diplomatic victory for Türkiye.
2023 VILNIUS SUMMIT: It was decided here, at the request of Türkiye, to create the post of “Special Counter-Terrorism Coordinator” for the NATO Secretary General. Every message from Türkiye, which implemented the most rational policy to end the Ukrainian-Russian War and achieved concrete results such as the opening of the grain corridor and the exchange of prisoners, was carefully followed. Türkiye’s view that allies should not impose arms embargoes and sanctions on each other was confirmed.
2024 Washington SUMMIT: While Türkiye is increasing its influence in NATO day by day, President Erdoğan held bilateral meetings with many leaders at this summit and revealed the ‘Turkish vision’. It was decided here that the 2026 summit would be held in Türkiye. Erdoğan brought Israel’s violations of international law to the agenda with very clear messages, even in the USA. At the summit, the document on NATO’s contributions to the fight against terrorism and the strategy it will follow was updated.
2025 THE HAGUE SUMMIT: At this summit, many allies aligned with Türkiye in assuming more responsibility in the face of threats and challenges. Secretary General Rutte gave the message ‘Defense industry from Texas to Ankara’ and noted that the alliance thinks closely with Ankara at this point. Here, Erdoğan emphasized ‘diplomacy for peace’ and ‘justice for Gaza’ in Ukraine.

First Lady Erdoğan will greet more than 20 spouses of heads of state and government one by one upon their arrival at the Mansion. After the welcome, First Lady Erdoğan and the leading spouses will hold a roundtable meeting themed “Children, Technology and Security: Protecting the Next Generation”.

It is envisaged that the meeting, to be held on the margins of the NATO Ankara Summit, will provide a basis for the exchange of views in order to strengthen joint efforts to protect children more effectively from the dangers of the digital world.

The meeting aims to raise awareness about the risks that children may face in digital environments, develop cooperation among stakeholders on this issue, and share good practices in allied countries.

In addition, the meeting aims to emphasize the importance of a rights-based and value-centered approach that does not ignore the development of children in determining policies and practices in the digital field, and to contribute to the development of balanced, measured and age-appropriate protective mechanisms.
The themes of “Digital Security and New Generation Risks”, “Protective and Age Appropriate Approaches”, “Shared Responsibility and Multi-Stakeholder Cooperation”, “Awareness, Education and Digital Literacy”, “Ethics and Value-Based Approaches” and “Sharing Good Practice Examples” are planned to be discussed at the meeting, where the leaders’ spouses will speak one by one.

HE WILL INTRODUCE THE TASTES OF TURKISH CUISINE TO LEADERS’ WIVES

After the round table meeting, First Lady Erdoğan will meet with the leaders’ wives for lunch.

Turkish cuisine will be closely introduced to the leaders’ spouses at the dinner where flavors reflecting Turkish gastronomy will be on the tables.
Leaders’ wives will eat their meals in the hall containing Iznik tiles and on tablecloths reflecting Turkish embroidery culture.
In this respect, the meal will not only be an invitation table, but also will make the guests feel the Turkish craft, art and hospitality tradition.
After lunch, First Lady Erdoğan and the leaders’ spouses will take a family photo.

THEY WILL SEE TRADITIONAL HANDICRAFT PRODUCTS CLOSELY

After the family photo, First Lady Erdoğan and the leading spouses will examine a collection of woven fabrics, embroideries and embroideries that reflect traditional handcraftsmanship and the richness of Turkish weaving culture.

Guest leader wives will also have the opportunity to see closely the works of visual memory of Mesopotamia, Anatolia, the Ottoman and Turkish states.
