We do not say goodbye to any threat” regarding the process that started with the attacks of the USA and Israel on Iran. Speaking at the iftar held with the participation of the Central Executive Board, the Central Disciplinary Board and members of parliament, Bahçeli said, “As the military, political and economic burden of the US-Israel partnership increases, and especially as the domestic public opinion’s categorical objections to the Iran war rise, the danger accumulating around us will intensify. We must be prepared for all kinds of scenarios.” Bahçeli used the following statements: “Turkey is rapidly getting rid of the burdens on its shoulders. There is no hostile or aggressive focus that will block the path of the giant that has woken up and stood up and will interrupt its historical march, and it is not possible. The ceasefire regime should come into play when the road is close. Hands should unite with the aim of reconciliation instead of triggering. Otherwise, Iran may turn into a new Afghanistan, a new Iraq, or even a new Vietnam for the US-Israel partnership. Our Turkey and “It should be essential to approach intentions and ambitions that will put our beloved nation at risk, make it a target, and even lead to conflict with Iran and other countries in the region, in a dignified manner. We must be prepared for all kinds of scenarios. We should not say goodbye to any threat.”

The claims made about Turkish Airlines, the flag carrier airline of our country, in some statements and social media posts contain disinformation.

THY is a public company that does not receive resources from the state budget, generates its income through its own activities, is traded on Borsa Istanbul and is subject to independent audit. It does not create any financial burden on the public and the general budget.

Nevertheless; Discourses and posts that portray THY as being financed by the public budget and target THY, one of Türkiye’s most powerful international brands, by juxtaposing unrelated items are disinformation.

According to the written statement made by the Ministry of Justice, Gürlek received the President of the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) Mustafa Gültepe and his accompanying delegation at the Ministry.

THE LOCOMOTIVE OF THE TURKISH ECONOMY

Stating that TİM is a locomotive for the Turkish economy, Gürlek pointed out that the contributions of TİM members to employment and production are extremely important.

“WE TAKEN THE NECESSARY STEPS”

Emphasizing that they are aware of the problems experienced by the business world and that they have taken the necessary steps to shorten the litigation process, Gürlek said:

“We have brought specialization in commercial courts, especially in commercial cases. A judge who has not completed 10 years of experience will not be the president of the commercial court. We have taken the necessary steps to gather the commercial courts under one roof. We do not want anyone to have problems in our country, especially in terms of exports and investments. If there are bureaucratic problems in this regard, we will reduce these problems as much as we can. As the judiciary, we are already working to speed up the processes.”

Stating that he found it meaningful to come to Türkiye every year within the scope of solidarity visits with Muslims on the occasion of Ramadan, Erdoğan also congratulated Guterres for his numerous efforts in combating xenophobia, cultural racism and discrimination, which pose the biggest threat to the goal of peaceful coexistence today.

Wishing that Ramadan Sharif will once again bring goodness for countries and all humanity, and open the doors to peace, tranquility and stability all over the world, Erdoğan said: “We continue to keep the principle of ‘Peace at home, peace in the world’, inherited from the founder of our Republic, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, at the center of our foreign policy by kneading it with a proactive, enterprising and entrepreneurial approach. We continue to keep the common principle of humanity at the center of our foreign policy.” We have been one of the strongest supporters of the founding values of the United Nations for 80 years, representing the conscience, the will of global solidarity and the hope for the future. We carry water to extinguish any fire wherever there is, especially conflicts, wars, persecutions and humanitarian crises in our region. Wherever there is pain, drama, tragedy, tears, we try with all our strength. Of course, I would like to give special credit to my dear friend Guterres, for this important work he has done for 9 years. “He was a politician who emphasized peace, dialogue and prosperity before he took office.”

“WE ARE CONDUCTING INTENSIVE DIPLOMACY TRAFFIC”

President Erdoğan stated that Guterres, as the Prime Minister of Portugal, made unique contributions to the increase of prosperity and the deepening of democracy in his country, earned the appreciation of his people with his constructive and conciliatory political style, and made outstanding efforts to ensure that the displaced were treated and protected in accordance with human dignity during his 10-year term as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Stating that he believes that Guterres’ conscientious and determined leadership in this process constituted the stage that brought him to the position of Secretary General of the United Nations, Erdoğan emphasized that they strengthened and deepened Türkiye’s contributions under the umbrella of the United Nations in every field during Guterres’s tenure as Secretary General.

The war between the USA/Israel and Iran also alarmed the states in the region. While the region has turned into a ring of fire for 13 days, the parties continue to attack and retaliate against each other. Following Iran’s latest decision on the Strait of Hormuz, the parties continue to criticize each other more harshly. Turkish sailor Çağrı Kaynak, who was in the Strait of Hormuz, told A Haber about his experiences in the region.

“WE ARE WITNESSING PRIVATE JETS TAKING AWAY”

“When the war started, we were in Kuwait Shuaybe Port, the bombings started there. We are currently waiting for instructions off the coast of Dubai. We saw with our own eyes that Patriot air defense systems were fired and missiles were flying in the air between 03.00 and 06.00 last night. Escapes from Dubai have started; we are witnessing private jets taking off every two minutes.”

“WE ARE WATCHING WITH THE OLD-FASHIONED METHODS”

Stating that the electronic war in the region directly affects the ships, Kaynak said, “We cannot receive a signal because the GPS systems are faulty, we are navigating with old-fashioned methods. Radio connections are very bad, satellite phones and ship internet do not work. We can only communicate with our families with our personal internet connection and limited resources.”
