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.

Allegations that people who were not actually party members were taken to the event organized by CHP in Sarıyer, through a casting agency, hit the agenda like a bombshell. While the discussions were continuing, a complaint petition was submitted to the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office.

“SOMETHING THAT THE DEVIL CANNOT THINK OF”

CHP Istanbul Provincial Chairman Gürsel Tekin made the following statement regarding the “paid extra” allegation:

“Partyship is completely voluntary. 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.

The closed meeting of the CHP TBMM Group was held under the chairmanship of Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.

At the meeting at the party headquarters, a ballot box was set up to determine the group chairmanship and group deputy chairmanships. While 39 MPs attended the meeting, 5 MPs did not attend.

2 NAMES WERE CANDIDATES FOR GROUP PRESIDENT

At the meeting, Tekirdağ Deputy Faik Öztrak and Elazığ Deputy Gürsel Erol competed as candidates for the CHP Group Chairmanship.

While the candidates could not obtain an absolute majority to be elected in the first two rounds of voting, it was later learned that Erol withdrew his candidacy. In the third round of voting, Öztrak was elected as CHP Group Chairman.

RACE WITH 6 CANDIDATES FOR GROUP VICE CHAIRMAN

As a result of the voting, İzmir MPs Sevda Erdan Kılıç and Rahmi Aşın Türeli were elected as CHP Group Deputy Chairmen.

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, 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.”
