President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made statements yesterday after the cabinet meeting. Erdogan, in short, said:
2021 YEAR OF SHAHLANISH: We are in an effort to make 2021, which we enter with high hopes after 2020, which was very difficult for the world and for our country, into a new year in a hurry. We brought our Türksat 5A satellite into orbit from America on January 8. Hopefully we will launch 5B into space early next summer. We have started work on the establishment of a microsatellite launch facility in our country. We will send the satellites of our country and our friends into space from our own facilities at a not too distant date.
TL GAIN VALUE: The Turkish lira appreciated 18 percent against the dollar and 16 percent against the euro, making it the best performer among developing countries. TL is gaining value, not depreciating. With the strengthening of TL and the decline in gold prices, our stock of central government debt decreased by 173 billion TL.
WE WILL ACCELERATE THE LOCAL BELOW: We review the epidemic measures. The implementation of vaccination in the field continues in line with determined priorities. The Kovid-19 mutation makes our job difficult like everyone else. Despite this, we believe that we will overcome this global health crisis. The sustainability of the external supply of vaccines is questionable. The global crisis on this increasingly common issue shows us that we must accelerate national vaccination studies.
THE VILLAGE SCHOOLS BEGIN EDUCATION ON FEBRUARY 15: Taking into account the limitations in Internet access, which is the basis of distance education, we decided to start education in the village schools on February 15th. However, if there is an increase in cases in villages where schools are opened, education and training may be suspended again. Preparations will begin for the 8th and 12th grade elementary and special education schools to begin education starting March 1. Parallel to the improvement in the number of cases, studies will be carried out for the gradual start of education at the provincial level as of March 1. We plan to begin the schedule for the gradual relaxation of restrictions on our traders as cases fall below a certain number.
The food committee took action
Erdogan continued: “Food inflation is one of the biggest threats ahead. Increasing the price differences of food products between the field or factory and the market to levels that cannot be explained by processes and economic reasons bothers us and our nation. In fact, it was one of the most important items on our agenda. We cannot allow three or five greedy merchants to poison our nation’s bread and food. When we get to the source of the problem, we see the effects of drought and structural problems. First, we will continue to implement market surveillance and control in food with determination. The food committee took action and began to assess the chain rings from production to retail and took the necessary action. By establishing an early warning system, we will create a very fast and effective decision-making mechanism. We will also mobilize the Competition Board effectively. “
‘It’s time for a new constitution’
Erdogan stated that the drafts of the law and the economic packages are ready, “Now we will take these drafts to the final stage by evaluating them both in our internal meetings and with our partner in the Popular Alliance.” Erdogan said: “Perhaps it is time to re-discuss Turkey’s new constitution. Constitutional work is not work that can be done in secret circles, in the shadow of sections linked to the terrorist organization, with names whose minds and hearts are disconnected from their country. This work must be done transparently in the eyes of the nation and with the participation of all its representatives, and the resulting text must definitely be presented at the nation’s discretion. “If we reach an understanding with our partner in the Popular Alliance, we can take steps for a new constitution in the next period, “he said.
Rose: exciting good news
Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gül, from his Twitter account, said: “Our president’s emphasis on the new constitution is exciting good news for all of us. “Implementing a new, civil and democratic constitution, which is one of the main goals of our legal reform, will be the most valuable legacy we will leave to our children and our future.”
Minister Selçuk will report
National Education Minister Ziya Selçuk will make a press release on the details of the transition to face-to-face education. According to information from the Ministry, the statement will be made at 10:00 today and will be shared in a joint live broadcast on frequency.
