00:00Welcome, sir/madam. My name is Turhan Bozkurt. Today is Friday, September 11, 2026.
00:06He had met with Erdoğan at the palace, and chaos ensued. Neither the CHP nor the New Party.
00:14Mansur Yavaş had said he would remain in limbo for now.
00:18However, the latest remarks from Devlet Bahçeli's right-hand man suggest there's more to it.
00:24Don't be shocked if he switches to the AKP.
00:28Özgür Özel has a Plan B ready. What steps will he take if something happens to the new party?
00:34The money laundering scandal involving Melih Gökçe in Germany came to light thanks to a question from a real prosecutor.
00:40What did Erdoğan do to declare that he was healthy? Where did he first mention early elections?
00:48This is real inflation. The price you could buy a Passat yesterday, you can't even buy a cell phone for today.
00:58Gasoline prices will see a record increase at midnight.
01:02The voice of the street, Habera Farklı Bakış (A Different Perspective on News), starts at midday.
01:16Detained Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu responded to Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's statement that he is not a political prisoner.
01:26Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu stated in the courtroom during his trial that he was a political prisoner.
01:36"May God not let anyone find themselves in this situation at the age of 80," he said.
01:42Imamoglu stated the following.
01:44I am a political prisoner of the struggle I waged for the republic, democracy, and justice for the 87 million citizens of this country.
01:55But thank God, in the eyes of the nation, I am not a political figure who cannot go out into the streets, cannot walk in the avenues and squares, and is imprisoned in the conscience of society.
02:14In an interview with Euronibus, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu stated that İmamoğlu is not a political prisoner.
02:20Even the pro-government Akit newspaper, at the risk of publishing stale news a day later, featured these words as an almost full-page headline across nine columns.
02:31It was published on the front page.
02:33And there, they used the logo of a vignette that read "Oppression is 103 years old," making a reference to the 103rd anniversary of the founding of the CHP (Republican People's Party).
02:43Kılıçdaroğlu hasn't said a word about it either.
02:45Kılıçdaroğlu had explicitly stated in that interview that Ekrem İmamoğlu was arrested for corruption.
02:53Dilek İmamoğlu, the wife of Ekrem İmamoğlu, was the first to respond, saying, "I leave it to God."
03:01Ekrem İmamoğlu is also imprisoned in Silivri Prison, so the court in the courtroom is not present at the corruption trial against the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.
03:11in the hall, which is the size of a gymnasium and was built for 1 billion 200 million lira, in the Silivri Prison campus, in front of the judges, few
03:23He uttered the sentences I had read in the news earlier.
03:25Saying "May God not let anyone fall into this situation at the age of 80" actually means being nothing more than a political figure condemned in the conscience of the people.
03:36He says it has no soul.
03:38How else could he respond?
03:39"I am here in prison, in jail, detained because I waged this struggle," he says.
03:43Does Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu have a response to İmamoğlu's remarks here?
03:52This will become clear in the coming days.
03:54However, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's statements implying his closeness to the palace, suggesting that he is now intimately involved with it, are now also being heard in the opposition media.
04:05Journalists are reporting it now.
04:07Ismail Küçükkaya says, "Sir, I spoke with Mr. Kemal."
04:11Is this a procedural issue, a malfunction, or a flaw in municipal services somewhere in Ankara?
04:17What did he see while passing by in his official car?
04:20According to information that İsmail Küçükkaya relayed from Kılıçdaroğlu.
04:26Kılıçdaroğlu called Mansur Yavaş.
04:27He said, "What kind of application is this? Fix it, solve this."
04:31Mansur Yavaş said, "Sir, I will investigate and examine it."
04:34He came back in the late afternoon, we're taking care of it.
04:35He even mentioned that he had informed Erdoğan's private secretary, Hasan Doğan, about this matter, and so on.
04:41Can you take a look?
04:42Hey, what's the situation in Türkiye, in our country?
04:47Here, under the wheels of this authoritarian regime, constitutional institutions are being dismantled one by one,
04:55While those who tweet are thrown in jail, these people are acting as if they're running a municipality or a party leadership position.
05:02Of course, when we combine these developments with the information I will share about today's topic shortly,
05:11In the coming days, Mansur Yavaş will have to make a choice, one way or another.
05:17Dear director, let's move on to today's topic.
05:26Türk Gün Newspaper is actually the official newspaper, the official publication organ of the Nationalist Movement Party, and the editorials in Türk Gün are written by...
05:37At one time, this editorial was a very important column in Bağbali.
05:42So Oktay Ekşi worked for years at Hürriyet, Abdü İpekçi at Milliyet, and there was a chief editorial writer at every other newspaper.
05:50For example, Fehmi Koru was the chief editor at Zaman Newspaper for a period, and various other names held the title of chief editor at Milli Gazete.
05:58The chief editor, as the old saying goes.
06:00Yıldıray Çiçek, whose editorials are published there, is also the press advisor, consultant, and right-hand man of MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli.
06:12So, every article published here, every article, is published only after receiving the approval and consent of Devlet Bahçeli.
06:21"Nothing Mansur Yavaş does surprises us," he says.
06:24Who says that?
06:27Here is Yıldıray Çiçek's editorial in the Türk Gün newspaper.
06:31In the article, I will explain how Mansur Yavaş, who was actually from the MHP, acted together with Meral Akşener when the MHP split,
06:40Then, during the 17-25 December investigations and the corruption investigation, he left the MHP (Nationalist Movement Party).
06:46Then, regarding his role at the six-person table, he actually says that he is one of the people who broke the record for switching parties.
06:55Look, he says, we specifically enlarged that part for you here.
06:58He says that if Mansur Yavaş joins the AK Party in the future, those who have placed great hope in him shouldn't be shocked or disappointed.
07:08Whether Mansur Yavaş will join the AKP was mentioned in Yıldıray Çiçek's editorial during yesterday's September 9th meeting between Erdoğan and Mansur Yavaş.
07:21as seen in that photograph where he buried it
07:24During the Erdoğan-Mansur Yavaş meeting, this part about him joining the AKP was actually confirmed; I had shared the information I obtained with you, from sources close to the matter.
07:35information.
07:36As I reported yesterday, Erdoğan doesn't want Mansur Yavaş to directly join the AKP.
07:44He even says he doesn't like his style of governance, his time as mayor.
07:48That's also Erdoğan's view on this issue, but he shouldn't stay in the CHP, he shouldn't join the new party, he should part ways with them.
07:58He says it's necessary.
07:59Why?
08:00"If we enter the municipality, we won't be able to get out," said Mr. Mansur, adding, "Melih Gökçek was my right-hand man."
08:06For years, we walked the political path together within the National Vision movement and the Welfare Party.
08:12And when he became the Mayor of Ankara in '94, I became the Mayor of Istanbul.
08:19The investigation into him, his family, and his children is still ongoing.
08:24There are files on you as well.
08:27Since you took office as mayor in 2019, there have been various complaints and reports.
08:33That's what he's implying.
08:35He says if we go in, we won't be able to get out.
08:36What does this mean?
08:37Either you put my suggestions into action and make them a reality in a short time, or we will take action ourselves and the operations against you will continue at the municipality.
08:48does.
08:48Because that's the extent of judicial independence now.
08:51Judges and prosecutors can act independently within these boundaries.
08:56And Bahçeli's right-hand man says, Yıldıray Çek says, that if Mansur Yavaş joins the AKP in the future, he has great hopes for him.
09:05Those who connect them shouldn't be shocked.
09:07And it continues.
09:08So don't be deceived by where Mansur Yavaş stands or what he says.
09:15He says, you know how I read his long explanation yesterday, about personal account number x?
09:22My position is clear; my words and stance are directed at both party leaders, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and Özgür Özel.
09:29He says that if both party leaders are uncomfortable, he will take the necessary action.
09:33In other words, he wants us to have the courage to sit down and talk to each other when we meet face-to-face tomorrow.
09:38Türkiye is not going through a normal time, he says.
09:40But who caused this to be anything but normal?
09:45There is no comment on Erdoğan's practices that trample on the rule of law.
09:50I will continue to insist on common sense.
09:54And this common sense, what kind of common sense is this?
09:55The people are in the streets, crushed under the weight of the inflation monster and the high cost of living, crying out in anguish.
10:03The people want a solution.
10:05There are people waiting for phased retirement.
10:07He says he can't make ends meet with his 23,500 lira pension.
10:11Isn't the poverty line 38,000 lira?
10:13If a family of four spends 38,000 lira on food for a month,
10:19The minimum wage is 28,105 lira, while the pensioner receives 28,075 lira, and on the other hand, there's the low pension of 23,500 lira for a family retiring.
10:30How will people make a living?
10:31The poverty line is 120,000 lira.
10:33If you're not going to criticize a government that is responsible for these things and you're not going to promise the people change, then you're saying you discussed Ankara's issues.
10:46Which project did you get approved?
10:48Which metro project tender or loan was approved with a foreign treasury-guaranteed foreign currency loan?
10:55And is this how things actually happen?
10:57So, you either go to Erdoğan, pose for a photo with him, or you transfer to the AKP.
11:03Here are the mayors of Çiğli and Foça.
11:07In Foça, the AKP's 17% vote isn't even half of the average vote share in Türkiye.
11:13In Foça, where they couldn't field a candidate, now the mayors are passing through, going to... [illegible]
11:17This is where Yıldıray Çiçek tells us that something, something behind the scenes, is being discussed.
11:23He says, "I support Mansur Yavaş, both from within the MHP (Nationalist Movement Party), who was a lawyer in Beypazarı and entered politics with the mayoralty of Beypazarı."
11:35He entered active politics.
11:37Yes, he was a figure within the Nationalist Movement before the 1980s, a figure who paid the price, but then he joined the Republican People's Party...
11:44He has been active in politics since 2014.
11:46Meanwhile, Mansur Yavaş is still a member of the CHP and has not resigned from it.
11:52"I'm neither there nor in the new party," says Mr. Mansur, but on the other hand, he continues to be a member of the CHP (Republican People's Party).
11:58But his meeting with Erdoğan coincided perfectly with the CHP's 103rd anniversary reception.
12:04Couldn't this have been done on another day? No, this is a very special, symbolic photograph.
12:07The message is a very personal message, a very detailed photo.
12:12Erdoğan has already relayed the necessary notes, information memos, and snippets from the palace to his supporters and pro-Erdoğan journalists, and they are now surrounding themselves with these things.
12:22As Mansur Yavaş is said to be...
12:25No, I'm staying in the CHP, no, I'm not joining a new party, or no, I'm not joining a new party.
12:30Everyone's saying there's a negotiation going on beyond that.
12:33Mr. Mansur was also hurt by these comments, and a person close to him emailed me, asking for my confidentiality as they did not want me to reveal their name.
12:42I'm keeping it, safeguarding it.
12:43But Mr. Mansur says he's very uncomfortable because he's under a lot of pressure, he's very stressed, there's a lot of pressure.
12:50He wants to continue serving as mayor without losing the municipality, but on the other hand, he is also facing pressure from the palace, from Erdoğan.
12:59He is looking for a way out.
13:00So I said to him, I wrote to him, "Okay, so is this the solution?"
13:04If Ekrem İmamoğlu had chosen the same path, Özgür Özel and his friends, along with 90 MPs, had formed a new party...
13:12If others had chosen the same path, if they had made an effort not to offend Erdoğan, not to upset Erdoğan,
13:20They should have reached an agreement with him and conducted their opposition within the boundaries set by Erdoğan.
13:24As Özgür Özel was told, Ankara-centric politics, forget about the citizens' potato and onion issues,
13:31Forget about the high cost of living, forget about the risk the Mecca Alliance poses to Türkiye.
13:36Look, a US House of Representatives member comes out and says, "Yes, he says, Yemen must be liberated."
13:44Saudi Arabia should be helped by Pakistan and, of course, Türkiye.
13:48Because the Mecca Alliance says, like Article 5 of NATO, as in the NATO treaty, to a member,
13:55An attack on one member of the alliance is considered an attack on all members.
13:58Look, the stones are being laid.
14:00Is this what Mr. Mansur wants us to say under these circumstances?
14:04Or maybe we'll just manage like this.
14:06So when will the new party nominate Mansur Yavaş as their candidate?
14:09Now that the election is over, talk of early elections has begun.
14:12So, if necessary, let's make a note of the editorial saying, "Don't be surprised if it goes away."
14:23On the other hand, on the other hand, there's Özgür Özel, Özgür Özel is also trying to do something.
14:29Özgür Özel has been left in the lurch here.
14:32Abandoned.
14:33After İmamoğlu, he is considering nominating Mansur Yavaş, who received the most votes in the polls.
14:40The new party wanted to nominate a candidate.
14:42Everything changed after yesterday, after September 9th.
14:46For the past two days, all plans in Ankara have been turned upside down.
14:49Özgür Özel may eventually have to nominate himself.
14:53But it's impossible to say at this point whether Özgür Özel will resonate with the public as much as Mansur Yavaş or Ekrem İmamoğlu.
15:00But Özgür Özel set the date for the grand congress of the new party he founded with 90 MPs on July 24, 2026.
15:12The grand congress will convene in Ankara, in the arena, on November 14-15.
15:18Party officials announced that a backup party was also ready in case of a snap election.
15:24Founding Chairman Özgür Özel is expected to be the sole candidate entering the convention.
15:30The congress schedule for the new party officially began on August 22nd.
15:34Membership lists were posted on August 26, and it was announced that district congresses would be held on September 12.
15:41The provincial administration elections will begin on October 18th.
15:45According to party sources, the election process at the district and provincial levels will be completed by October 27th.
15:53Those who join the new party by September 30th will be able to vote in the elections for district and provincial chairpersons, as well as the party's general chairman.
16:07Let the name of the party that Özgür Özel is keeping a secret remain a secret.
16:12Because as soon as it's announced, an operation is immediately launched there as well.
16:15Or someone steps in immediately.
16:18The party's founders or current chairman, as well as party council members, are being pressured.
16:25If, at the last minute, a snap early election is called by November 14-15 – which is unlikely now –
16:33But if it is obtained, it has the right to participate in the elections, this authorization is approved by the High Election Board and it is one of the parties on the list published in that list.
16:46It's being kept aside as a reserve batch.
16:49After completing their congress, he will prepare for early elections as the party leader.
16:56That's why Özgür Özel was in Ardahan, preparing for the event.
17:00In Ardahan, he met with women and tradespeople.
17:04And there's a name among them.
17:09There's an interesting dialogue I'm having with someone.
17:11His images will be coming soon.
17:13During their conversation, a retired imam shared some of his criticisms with Özgür Özel.
17:19What did Özgür Özel say in response?
17:22Here comes that conversation now.
17:30I retired three years ago and now I travel around selling goods at all the festivals and fairs in all 81 provinces of Türkiye.
17:37I sell water.
17:37What are you selling?
17:38I sell water.
17:39I sell water.
17:40My chairman, seeing the sugar factories and heavy machinery factories being sold off, my work is falling apart, and I've given up being an imam, I've given up everything.
17:51I became a red communist.
17:52I became a red communist, but I'm also uncomfortable with your soft opposition.
17:58Please, a little bit of action.
17:59Is it tougher, son?
17:59Mr. President, please.
18:00People are saying, "Don't be too harsh."
18:02Don't scare the people, he says.
18:03Chairman.
18:05The strange child of Kurip goes to the police station and courthouse with his arms all dirty.
18:09He's right.
18:09They need each other to chew gum.
18:11Our hearts are breaking.
18:11Please let's do something about this.
18:13I have something to say.
18:14We'll deal with all of them.
18:15But how do we keep the nation's hope alive and help them solve their problems?
18:22We have to speak out and we have to have power.
18:24Hopefully.
18:25It's always the opposition, trying to be a tough opposition, creating tension that disturbs the people.
18:30Do you know what Tayyip Bey does when he becomes a part of it?
18:32First, they ostracize the other person.
18:35Then he demonizes them.
18:37It's polarizing.
18:37He's gathering a crowd around himself.
18:39We need to disrupt that game now.
18:42Yes, Özgür Özel is developing an argument of his own.
18:48He says this benefits Erdoğan.
18:50But these things aren't exactly what the public in Türkiye expects from the opposition.
18:56So while he is being oppressed, and his child is unemployed because he doesn't have connections, now you just...
19:03Here, when you speak saying "Mr. Erdoğan," "Tayyip Bey," you're referring to the imam, the retired imam...
19:08As Özgür Bey said, the public is unhappy about this.
19:12Your party's doors, the CHP's doors, were broken down.
19:15Your friends are in prison.
19:17Look, there's another operation against a municipality in Izmir today.
19:20Every day, 30-40 people are hired; those affiliated with the CHP, or those in the new party, or those caught in between.
19:27without any consideration of this.
19:29The public certainly doesn't want pointless fights, but sometimes, they want to see those who ignite the fuse of conflict.
19:37You need to give an answer.
19:39Demirel, the late Erbakan, and others—that is, the late Demirel and other politicians.
19:45These can be expressed in concise, intelligent, and witty sentences, rather than in vulgar or slang terms.
19:52You don't need to respond with statements.
19:55You know how they say to Demirel, "There are queues for oil and gas," what does Demirel say?
19:59E Petrovarda replies, "Did we drink it?"
20:01He's telling this to journalists.
20:03Now, Demirel's approach here is half joking, half serious, but full of humor.
20:10People both smile at his words and say, "Yes, I see a spark in this leader."
20:18He says he wants someone who can take my words and my expectations to parliament and achieve results.
20:23Or is it that you think the Mayor of Ankara Metropolitan Municipality was invited to the palace?
20:28If alignment and direction are being given, then a gentle tone is necessary here; yes, if everyone were gentle-tongued...
20:36If Türkiye had a separation of powers—judiciary, executive, legislative—everyone minded their own business.
20:42But that's not the case; today, the judiciary interferes even in parliament.
20:45Today, the executive branch is interfering with the judiciary as well.
20:48Everything is a mess.
20:49The state's institutional capacity has been destroyed.
20:51The people's hopes are dwindling day by day.
20:55Those who have the opportunity emigrate abroad, or young people who are successful abroad attend schools abroad.
21:01They choose it for postgraduate studies after high school and university.
21:05So under these circumstances, if you're not going to protest and show this government the way out, what are you going to do?
21:13No matter how much Erdoğan tries to win him over to his side.
21:16If that were the case, the new party's votes wouldn't be in the 34-38% range because of your strong opposition.
21:23The AKP would have surpassed 40% if the struggle you've waged over the last 15 or 18 months hadn't resonated with the people.
21:32Look, he's actually doing some things right.
21:35He is meeting with women in Ardahan.
21:37The women are saying, "Don't support those who have connections, don't support those who have people behind them; support those who are left behind."
21:47"Yes, that will be our slogan," he says.
21:49Once again, we are promising retirement to women, to housewives, to women who take care of children, the elderly, and the disabled at home," he says.
21:59In livestock farming, for example, the price of 1 liter of raw milk is 24 lira, but it's sold for 20 lira in the market, but if you buy a sack of milk feed...
22:08If the price is 1200 lira, then in a 50 kg bag of dairy feed, the price per kg of milk should be at least 36 lira.
22:17He's talking about pensions, he's talking about phased retirement.
22:20These are true.
22:21Of course, explain your promises.
22:23I already told you not to make that mistake.
22:25The six-member table was writing books, brick by brick, about the return to parliamentary democracy.
22:32Theoretical texts were being prepared.
22:35Don't fall into that trap again.
22:36Tell the public something clear.
22:38Cem Uzan, who promised that diesel fuel would cost 1 lira, received 7.5% of the vote in his first election in this country as the leader of the Young Party.
22:45So now everyone agrees on the importance of getting your messages across.
22:49But weren't your friends tried for corruption, treason, and Ekrem İmamoğlu was tried in the espionage case?
22:57Isn't he being prosecuted?
22:58When accused of espionage, are you just going to dismiss it by saying, "Oh, Mr. Tayyip"?
23:03Will you criticize in a gentle manner?
23:05I think you should consider what you can do to fill in the gaps in the framework I mentioned earlier, regarding the parts that the imam, the retired imam, told you.
23:15I think you should reconsider.
23:17So, Özgür Özel's tour of Anatolia continues, and he's meeting with the people.
23:24These are very appropriate steps.
23:27So, could Özgür Özel's parliamentary immunity be lifted on October 1st when parliament convenes?
23:32Can he be imprisoned?
23:33This is one of the questions everyone is wondering about.
23:35Before we get to the news, our poll is now live.
23:38He's asking you what you think of Özgür Özel's style of politics.
23:42May this success continue.
23:44Failed, perhaps you could offer slightly harsher opposition, or select options like "I have no opinion."
23:52We are also waiting for your votes.
23:53I'm sure Özgür Özel shares your opinion here, through his advisors.
23:57Please vote in the poll and also leave a comment.
24:01Those who couldn't find the poll after the live broadcast are asking where they can find it.
24:05Unfortunately, we don't have that option after the live broadcast.
24:07Please write your answers in the comments section.
24:11I'll explain the survey results on screen anyway.
24:13Add your answer to that question in the comments.
24:16Is there any technical issue during the live broadcast?
24:19Please add this to the chat section as well, since one of our subscribers wrote it recently.
24:23The screen went black in the middle of the broadcast.
24:26I'm blocked from commenting.
24:27We don't know if it's from their internet connection, their data plan, or their device.
24:32We haven't received any complaints like this in general, but if you happen to encounter such a problem, please let us know.
24:39And here is the critical information that Esenyurt Mayor Ahmet Özer relayed from Bahçeli.
24:45Özer stated that he did not agree with Bahçeli's decision of absolute nullity and that he was against the lifting of Özgür Özel's immunity.
24:54Esenyurt Mayor Ahmet Özer, in a television broadcast he participated in, shared details of his meeting with MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, which lasted approximately one hour.
25:05He explained.
25:06Özer stated that he believes Bahçeli is sincere regarding the ongoing İmralı negotiations.
25:13He said that the operations targeting the CHP were also discussed during the meeting.
25:16Özer said, "There are some rumors that occasionally circulate."
25:20Initially, regarding the lifting of Özgür Özel's immunity, they were very clear and determined that such a thing would not be right.
25:28He underlines it.
25:30State Bahçeli said.
25:35There is important information coming soon regarding Gökçek's involvement in the money laundering scandal in Germany.
25:41Devlet Bahçeli opposes the lifting of parliamentary immunity.
25:44This is the most important message given to Erdoğan and the palace by the major partner in the People's Alliance.
25:49He says he doesn't agree with the nullification decision.
25:52In fact, in the early days, Fethi Yıldız, through his assistant Fethi Yıldız, explained how bizarre the annulment decision was.
25:59Bahçeli had announced it to the whole world via Twitter, through account X.
26:05Fethi Yıldız tells us that a decision made there based on the associations law is legally null and void.
26:17Although that tweet was deleted less than 24 hours later, the objective had been achieved.
26:21However, after the 1961 constitution, political parties were no longer associations with the legal personality of a political party.
26:31They were not subject to the associations law.
26:33This shows that Devlet Bahçeli is still standing by the same line.
26:37Let democratic politics take its course.
26:40If he left the CHP and founded a new party, Bahçeli also conveyed his best wishes to him over the phone.
26:45Let's see what kind of result Bahçeli Özgür Özel and his friends will achieve in the first election.
26:52Devlet Bahçeli is monitoring whether or not he can gain public support or favor in the eyes of the government.
27:00Ahmet Özer is also the Mayor of Esenyurt.
27:03And now the Mayor of Esenyurt is under arrest in that case; he was under arrest in the City Council case.
27:11He was released after 13 months.
27:13And from there, he was given another prison sentence.
27:15But look, Esenyurt is still under trusteeship.
27:17Mardin Metropolitan Municipality Mayor, Ahmet Türk, has not been reinstated to his position despite being acquitted.
27:24The registration period has been extended by two more months.
27:26Meanwhile, they say December and January may remain as the second step in the Imralı negotiations.
27:33According to MIT (Turkish National Intelligence Agency) reports, the disarmament process is not proceeding exactly as planned.
27:36Erdoğan has cornered the DEM Party in this way, using Öcalan as a pretext.
27:43This prevented him from standing up against these blows directed at the opposition.
27:49The DEM Party has, in fact, failed to present a more effective political approach and opposition on these issues.
27:58Now, let's get to a very striking piece of information regarding the investigation into the assets of Melih Gökçe, his daughter, and his daughter-in-law.
28:07Gökçe faces money laundering shock in Germany.
28:10The statement given by former Ankara Metropolitan Mayor Melih Gökçe in the investigation opened regarding the allegation that undeclared money was transferred to companies abroad.
28:21Details have been obtained.
28:22Melih Gökçe told the prosecutor that he does not own any real estate or vehicles registered in his name.
28:29Following this, the female deputy chief prosecutor placed a list containing 26 properties belonging to Gökçe in front of her.
28:37And he asked this question.
28:3926 entries were identified in the passive real estate registry.
28:44What are the dates and reasons for the sales, and where did you use the profits?
28:50Gökçek responded to this question by saying, "I have just reviewed the real estate records you showed me; these are properties I previously purchased and later sold."
28:59They are real estate properties, he said.
29:00Prosecutor,
29:02In Germany, the contract was terminated due to anti-money laundering laws, and a penalty of 300,000 euros was paid; the source of this payment is unknown.
29:14And who is the decision-maker? Gökçek asked.
29:19From what I learned from my son, there was no cash payment, and because the contract was terminated, a penalty of 300,000 euros was paid," he said.
29:35Özgür Özel occasionally makes references to Melik Gökçe and, could you please take a look at the corruption within the AKP?
29:44He puts on his jacket as soon as he gets out of the car, chews gum, and looks extremely self-confident in his sunglasses.
29:50How do others get to the courthouse?
29:52If you are an opposition figure, if you are the CHP provincial chairman, if you are the provincial chairman of a new party, or if you are Ekrem İmamoğlu, if you have tweeted, if you are a journalist criticizing the government...
30:03If you are there, the police will arrive immediately.
30:06They even make you bow your head when you get in or out of a car, as if to put you in your place.
30:14And he almost tried to enter through the protocol entrance, the entrance for judges and prosecutors, but the chief prosecutor didn't allow it.
30:21And while we're at it, why don't you take a look at him becoming a citizen?
30:25The Mercedes he arrived in, the Mercedes he got out of at that door, I don't know how many there are in Türkiye right now, but Erdoğan has an armored one.
30:35And here he is, this Mercedes is currently worth nearly 300 million Turkish Lira, 300 million Turkish Lira. The prosecutor, I wonder if this Mercedes...
30:43Did he ask about the money?
30:45He asked about the 27-28 property list, the ones that weren't there.
30:50I've bought and sold them before.
30:52How did you buy it, Mr. Melih?
30:53During these questions, the prosecutor says, "In Germany," he says, "in Germany, your prosecutor's office, your file in Germany, the reason why 300,000 euros were burned..."
31:07He says while asking:
31:10You have been found to have violated German anti-money laundering laws.
31:17In Germany, you go to a notary and say, "I want to buy this house," or "I want to buy this building," "I want to buy this property," "I want to buy this plot of land."
31:24The notary says, "Okay, I'll start the process," but he adds, "Look, if you can't get the loan, or if you can't get your loan from the bank..."
31:33If approval is not received from the German authorities
31:35You will have to bear the consequences, he says.
31:39So you're being added to the suspect list.
31:43In terms of money, this would be considered black money, money with an unknown or unidentified source, and would therefore be included in that list.
31:54Look, one of the questions Melih Gökçe was asked in Türkiye was about this money laundering issue.
32:00Regarding the 300,000 euros, we announced that the contract was terminated, and everyone is talking about it publicly after Murat Airel's news.
32:09Melih Gökçek also said yes, they couldn't get it, they couldn't complete the payment.
32:13The terms and conditions of the contract were not fulfilled.
32:16They say the other side received the 300,000 euros, but that's not true.
32:20Here is the money that Melih Gökçek's son's daughter-in-law transferred to Germany, which failed to pass the filter during that investigation phase, and that money...
32:31Part of it was purchased with a loan from a state-owned bank.
32:33Some of those properties he said he sold, but where is all this money coming from?
32:39How can you bring this money here from a company that has no activity whatsoever?
32:47Germany is investigating, sees a doubt, and it is not being confirmed.
32:50Their €300,000 deposit is forfeited because it wasn't approved.
32:53300,000 euros is quite a lot, would you really throw 18-20 million Turkish lira away like that?
32:58Would you really throw 18,000 lira in the trash?
33:01Because if these things weren't earned through hard work, you wouldn't care; they'd just say, "It came from there, it went here."
33:10This is the question we need to ask Melih Gökçek today.
33:15In Germany, could it be that a money laundering investigation has also been launched against you and your son and daughter-in-law?
33:22Or did it start, you gave a statement, and then it was closed?
33:25Because in that transaction, Germany does not approve the money coming from Türkiye.
33:32Although some people are so out of touch with reality that they might think money laundering takes place in Germany, what happened to Melih Gökçek in Germany is unacceptable.
33:41Something like this happened to his son.
33:43We understand that from the prosecutor's question.
33:47I have no knowledge of my daughter-in-law's money, I have no knowledge of her real estate.
33:50So, did all this wealth just come about spontaneously?
33:53Even if a person finds money or a wallet on the street, they take it to the police station and return it, right?
33:58Let's say you found it.
34:00Did you find a jar in the field, Mr. Melih?
34:02Therefore, it's not because he was cleared or acquitted in the main case, but because he will impose judicial control and restraining orders on his daughter-in-law and son, preventing them from going abroad.
34:11It imposes a ban.
34:12So let's ask the prosecutor in Germany who asked a question about money laundering.
34:17Madam Prosecutor, since Melih Gökçek's family lost 300,000 euros due to money laundering regulations and laws in Germany...
34:27So why haven't you seized the assets of Ahmet Gökçek and his daughter-in-law yet?
34:33You did not appoint a trustee.
34:35They even went and bought a company in Germany.
34:37The Gökçek family is still carrying out construction activities through a construction company.
34:43Therefore, the matter is so complicated.
34:44But if you think simply amidst all that complexity, if you negotiate and accept what Erdoğan says, the matter is resolved.
34:53You arrive chewing gum.
34:55And on the way out, there's Melih Gökçek, who says, "I've jumped and leaped 500 times, I've escaped all of them, I'll jump the 501st time and it'll be over."
35:04On the other hand, citizens can't even open their mouths for fear that their children will be thrown in jail or that their pension will be confiscated.
35:12What was the elderly woman selling goods at the market from Bayburt saying?
35:15We are Tayyip supporters; the prices aren't great, but even if he doesn't give us money, at least he'll give us pasta. We're from Bayburt.
35:23He made a very clever assessment by saying, "We will get votes from Bayburt again."
35:28So, what is Erdoğan doing at this point regarding this authoritarian regime?
35:35An early election is on the horizon.
35:37It has been stated that elections could be held between May and December 2027.
35:42AKP leader Erdoğan mentioned early elections for the first time.
35:47With this unity and togetherness, I renew my belief that we will successfully overcome the upcoming elections, God willing.
36:11Erdoğan mentioned early elections for the first time.
36:16Look, I believe we will successfully get through the upcoming election, and all elections in general.
36:22He's talking about getting over it.
36:23Think about what state of mind he/she is in.
36:27He's transferring the mayor.
36:29He's telling Mansur Yavaş, "What are you going to do? Make your position clear; you can't just stand there in the middle."
36:34Then another step, and another step.
36:39I listened to his entire speech here, and to everything he said there.
36:45It's too long, of course; we can't air it for more than five minutes.
36:48But he mentions the season a few times.
36:54This summer evening, he says.
36:56This is a beautiful summer evening, he says.
36:58And he says you probably don't have any difficulties in the tea plantations.
37:03He says this summer is going well.
37:06And he repeats some sentences frequently.
37:09And there's a sense of tiredness, a bit of exhaustion too.
37:14But this meeting between Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his fellow townspeople in his hometown of Güneysu was less vibrant than previous meetings.
37:23But another video was released from the palace.
37:27Mustafa Varank published that video.
37:29This video is frequently broadcast to convey the message that Erdoğan is actually quite healthy.
37:35Everyone's used to it now.
37:37They posted a video of him going out onto the court and playing basketball.
37:44And now.
37:47Yes, Erdoğan plays basketball with his friends at the palace.
37:53Who's there?
37:54I met former Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu.
37:56I saw the Minister of Labor and Social Security, Vedat Işıkhan, again.
38:03And who is there?
38:05There is another MIT President, Ibrahim Kalın.
38:08Meanwhile, Erdoğan's hair has fallen out even more.
38:12There is more opening towards the back of his neck.
38:14And MIT President Ibrahim Kalın also has hair damage.
38:19You examine the footage when you pause it.
38:21So what are we going to do?
38:22With so many images, we perform image analysis.
38:24Remember how they released it so we could see that he was healthy?
38:28Why are you showing basketball footage in relation to Erdoğan's health?
38:33Even we, who are now over fifty, can't play a single futsal match a week, whereas we used to play three.
38:39Isn't this perfectly normal?
38:40In sports that require physical fitness, is that what citizens are really wondering about? Are they going to see if Erdoğan can play basketball?
38:49Look at their point of view!
38:51We need to ask the President's Communications Director, Burhanettin Bey.
38:54Is this how you communicate? Is this how you establish communication?
38:56Is this how you convey the message?
38:58Now, if you were in Erdoğan's shoes, facing the President, there would be two teams.
39:04So, can you commit a foul?
39:06Can you stop it?
39:07Can you get out there for the rebound?
39:10Or can you shoot free throws very comfortably?
39:15Look what we've become!
39:16Or, as pressure shows towards Erdoğan in the palace, this is the basketball court in that 1100-room palace.
39:22The windows on the sides allow you to see outside.
39:25The sun is shining in.
39:27Mustafa Varank, the former Minister of Industry and Technology and now a Member of Parliament for Bursa, says:
39:34He says, "When I score two points throughout the game, you're not good at anything."
39:39"They told me to film from the side," he says.
39:41Mizan, you're doing well too.
39:41Yes, the health and well-being of President Erdoğan and his ministers is very important to the citizens.
39:50Because he runs the government.
39:52How do things work in the United States and other countries?
39:56Ministers, prime ministers, presidents, and even US President Trump, undergo check-ups at regular intervals, every six months.
40:05There, all kinds of samples are taken, including blood, urine, hair, etc., analyses are performed, and ECGs are done.
40:15All of this is presented to the doctor.
40:18The doctor reviews this data, examines these results, and then writes a report.
40:24He says that President Trump's health status is as follows, and no deficiencies or excesses have been detected in these specific areas.
40:33And the White House publishes that signed report on its official website.
40:38Up to this point, of course, you cannot give details about his private life or health.
40:43That's personal data, but he played basketball while healthy.
40:46And nobody's saying it's unhealthy anyway.
40:49It is simply said that he is tired and exhausted due to his former performance, the effects of his advancing age, and the occasional effects of the treatment he receives.
40:58Your answer to these questions is, "No sir, that's not right, look, he's playing basketball, he's scoring points."
41:03And tomorrow or the day after, let them go and wear football jerseys, you know, let them go in jerseys.
41:07Should he play football on the green field?
41:09The public wasn't expecting anything like this.
41:10So there's something strange here.
41:13Something is strange.
41:15The strangeness isn't just about broadcasting footage of the President playing basketball every now and then.
41:20There's a name now in the AKP that your midday viewers, your regulars, are very familiar with.
41:26AKP Deputy Group Chairman, Manisa Member of Parliament, and Bahadır Yenişehirlioğlu, famous for his million-dollar watches.
41:34In Manisa, he caused another commotion, this time during a visit to the governor's office.
41:38Look what Bahadır Yenişehirlioğlu said to the reporter who asked him to look at the camera?
41:47I would be very happy if you looked at me too.
41:49Thank you, you're welcome.
41:55You are a beautiful woman; it's impossible not to look at you.
41:58Thank you so much, you're wonderful, you're very kind.
42:02There is also gender discrimination here, whether the person performing their job is a woman or a man.
42:08The governor, what was the governor's name? Vahdettin Özkan, the governor of Manisa.
42:15Vahdettin Özkan is sitting there, look, right next to the flag, the armrest flag.
42:22And there, to the right of the governor, is Bahadır Yenişehirlioğlu, an AKP representative.
42:26All government agencies are open to them.
42:28Provincial heads are already attending the governor's meetings.
42:32"Oh," he says, "you are a very beautiful lady."
42:34"It's impossible not to look," he says.
42:36It's unclear whether he's paying a compliment or what he's doing.
42:39You are a member of parliament, the deputy group leader of the AKP.
42:44The watch you're wearing, Mr. Bahadır, you're wearing a 200,000 euro watch.
42:49You're wearing a watch that costs 100,000 or 10,000 euros.
42:51You're paying the price of a 3+1 or 2+1 apartment for the cost of installing clocks.
42:55The guy you transferred from Eskişehir, Mr. Nedim, it's the same one.
43:00So, the delegation has gone, and now what task do they want the governor to expedite?
43:05Next to the governor, there is, after all, someone who represents the state.
43:09Is that how you respond to a journalist?
43:12Is it acceptable for so many people to utter such words in this way?
43:15If you were to say something like that to a woman outside, on the street, someone hearing it would probably confront you, asking, "What do you mean?"
43:22Look how far we've come, look how far we've come, and tonight the price of oil is now $105, a bit like the brand type from this morning.
43:33The price of oil fell slightly below $105, but
43:36Dilekola, the $100 threshold has been exceeded.
43:38When did the engine arrive?
43:40Gasoline prices are increasing tonight, at midnight.
43:43The price will increase by at least 3 lira 20 kuruş, and the price of a liter of gasoline in Istanbul, specifically on the European side, will be 80.
43:53It will be 25 kuruş (Turkish lira).
43:55Diesel fuel is already about to reach 89 lira in Istanbul.
43:59Autogas LPG 34 lira 99 kuruş, Fulyoil 47 15 kuruş.
44:04Look, diesel is now 100 lira, and gasoline is over 80 lira.
44:11Inflation is falling, is that right?
44:13If only we knew the location of that discount supermarket and that discounted gas station, the price of fuel would still be shown as 37 lira per liter in the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) records.
44:22Mehmet Şimşek, instead of pursuing these issues, is only concerned with holding onto his seat until the election.
44:28Look, another graph about real inflation is coming up now.
44:32The real inflation is actually a dramatic picture showing how our money has eroded over the years, how the purchasing power of the Turkish lira has been lost.
44:41The Passat is a model from Volkswagen, a German automotive manufacturer.
44:45In 2016, the new Passat, for different models, such as the Trendline and Comfortline, ranged from 77,000 Turkish Lira to 103,700 Turkish Lira.
44:55There are outgoing prices.
44:58It's 2016, for goodness sake, not BC, not 50 years ago, not 30 years ago, not 10 years ago.
45:03So, for 100,000 Turkish Lira, or 77,000 Turkish Lira, you could buy a brand new car imported from Germany.
45:11Back then, people were buying used cars for 5,000, 10,000, or 15,000 Turkish Lira.
45:16Now, in the used car market, the cheapest car is a "bird series" model like the Doğan, Şahin, or Kartal, or a Şahin that looks like a Doğan, costing 300-400 thousand Turkish Lira.
45:24Can you find it underneath?
45:25Well, yesterday iPhone released new models two days ago.
45:30The iPhone 18 series continued.
45:32Duo was unveiled as a foldable phone.
45:35And look, the newly announced iPhone Duo, in 2026, will be priced at 229,000 for the 256GB version, 230,000 for the 512GB version, and 247,000 for the 512GB version.
45:471 TB, 280 thousand, 2 TB, 335 thousand 999.
45:52The price of the iPhone Duo in Türkiye.
45:55iPhone will sell all models, old and new, for $100 more.
45:59Because of rising oil prices outside the global economy, the Hormuz uncertainty, and the increase in semiconductor pair prices, copper has reached $14,000 per ton.
46:07As a result of all this increase, we are also getting our share.
46:11Look, in Türkiye this price is $2,000, in America it's more than $2,000 plus taxes, TRT fees, etc. in Türkiye.
46:22I mentioned that the 2,000 dollars also came from there.
46:24I said that with both dealer margin and profit margin, it came out to $4,700.
46:29So today you buy a foldable phone for 336,000 Turkish Lira, and 60-70% of that goes to taxes.
46:38I could be the Minister of Finance too.
46:40There are taxes on fuel, electronics, appliances, excise tax, here and there, furniture, white goods, is there excise tax on cars in Germany?
46:50Does America collect excise tax?
46:52In such an environment, I bring to your attention, through various news stories, how justice also wounds consciences.
47:03Now, here is the verdict announced in the case concerning the Ezgi apartment building, which was destroyed in the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes.
47:16The defendants, who were on trial for possible intent, were acquitted and released.
47:2035 people lost their lives due to the collapse of an apartment building in the 12 February district of Kahramanmaraş.
47:27In the 12th hearing held at the Kahramanmaraş 4th High Criminal Court, among the defendants being tried while in custody,
47:33Sami Kervancıoğlu and Mustafa Pekel, the operators of the pastry shop located on the ground floor of the building, were each sentenced to 6 years and 8 months in prison.
47:43They were given their sentences and then released.
47:46Kervancıoğlu and Pekel were arrested in August 2025 after being fugitives for approximately two years.
47:53Ertan Danacı, another defendant in the case who organized the renovation of the pastry shop, was acquitted.
48:08Look at this. That photo also appears in the images from time to time.
48:12The Ezgi apartment building, it's all a pile of rubble, look at this image, 35 lifeless bodies were recovered from this wreckage after the earthquake.
48:22under.
48:22Why? A stranger is investigating; they've cut the columns on the ground floor.
48:27Who cut this? The owners and partners of Kervan Pastry Shop.
48:32Now look at these names, who are these two right now? They're appearing in the images.
48:38Look, here's Sami Kervancıoğlu with the Minister of Environment and Urbanization, Murat Kurum, and a photo of them with ice cream.
48:45How can you release Sami Kervancıoğlu and Mustafa Pekel after they received a 6-year and 8-month prison sentence?
48:51How can you acquit the person who carried out that renovation and cut those columns?
48:58In Türkiye, if you murder 35 people, what is the death penalty for killing 35 people?
49:07Will those people ever see the light of day?
49:08So, cutting the colon and causing death is considered a mitigating circumstance?
49:13Here are the images of the mother crying out in anguish.
49:16That mother lost her son and grandson there!
49:22Does it have a voice?
49:24My children died crying, without hunger.
49:27While my children are losing their lives there, this country will provide justice for my children.
49:33This country will deliver justice for my children.
49:36Here, Mr. President, Mr. Minister of Justice, they released those who cut the columns today.
49:44I dug through the rubble myself with an excavator and found the column.
49:47Even though I discovered it myself, even though the indictment was prepared with possible intent, even though the opinion was presented with possible intent.
49:54Sami Kervancıoğlu and Mustafa Bekeli, who are responsible for the deaths of my children and who have been on the run for 703 days, are now vacationing in a villa in Ankara.
50:03They released them.
50:05I have been careful with everything I have said so far.
50:09I paid attention to everything I wrote.
50:11They said everything they wanted to say to me in court.
50:13I still didn't answer any of them.
50:16Was this the response to me not giving in?
50:18Turkish justice, I don't accept this.
50:21Yes, a grieving mother who lost her children is acquitted.
50:27An eviction order is issued.
50:29So far, he has only been detained for a total of 13 months.
50:35They are being evacuated today as well.
50:36What else can this mother say but cry out in anguish?
50:39But are you paying attention?
50:41Even he says, "Mr. President," "Mr. Minister of Justice."
50:44But who is behind this unjust system?
50:48Look at those photos and videos; the owner of Kervan Pastanesi, who offered ice cream to the Minister of Environment and Urbanization, is now being acquitted.
50:57Here is Sami Kervancıoğlu and his partner Mustafa Bekeli.
51:03Isn't it a shame for these people?
51:04By the way, in the earthquake cases, which mayors or bureaucrats have you seen receive prison sentences?
51:11Sadly, justice is not being served in the February 6th Kahramanmaraş earthquakes, in which nearly 55,000 of our people lost their lives according to official records.
51:20Those who do it get away with it.
51:22These people are saying, "Let's cut the columns, let's put two more tables there, a hundred more ice creams, a hundred more bowls of ice cream, a hundred kilos of ice cream."
51:31They cut the columns thinking they could sell more, and the building collapsed.
51:35Should the verdict have been like this, for a crime of probable intent to cause the deaths of 35 people?
51:44Therefore, if it is known that these fugitives are even living in villas in Ankara, and the state has turned a blind eye to this, then shame on them.
51:52This is where justice stands.
51:54So, what results will be displayed on the screen in our survey?
52:00What do you think of Özgür Özel's political style?
52:02Mr. Özgür says the government should become tougher.
52:0870% of our viewers said it was successful and that it should continue, while 23% said the same.
52:14Those who say the government should be criticized more gently constitute 5%.
52:18So those who are advocating for mild criticism are leaving out some things.
52:24So, being harsh doesn't mean being insulting.
52:27Harsh criticism doesn't mean destroying society's hopes.
52:30On the contrary, what people mean is a declaration of determination and an uncompromising stance on that same point.
52:39So if you address people who call you traitors and say "let them devour each other" with polite and respectful language...
52:50So, those who voted for you, those who set aside a thousand lira from their pensions, those people who are barely making ends meet, those people who sent a thousand lira...
52:59They're a little broken.
53:00Therefore, it's worthwhile to review them from this perspective.
53:04We've reached the end of our allotted time in the middle of the day.
53:07A week has passed.
53:09Your support is invaluable to us.
53:11You share it on WhatsApp, on Telegram.
53:13The viewing algorithm changes are putting things in place, but if you notice, if the likes remain low, the viewership decreases.
53:21The heart button and confetti are very valuable to us; if you're not subscribed, please subscribe.
53:27But above all, your support and prayers are invaluable to us.
53:34As the saying goes, "One side of us is shedding leaves, the other side is a spring garden," but we will not lose hope.
53:42We will hold on to hope and fight to the end for the restoration of truth, justice, law, and democracy.
53:52Thank you for being such kind-hearted people.
53:54I wish you all a wonderful weekend in advance.
53:57On behalf of my colleagues who were involved in the broadcast and production, I would like to thank you again.
54:01This evening, Fuat Karazeybek will be focusing on behind-the-scenes developments of the week, analyzing them with his guests.
54:12Don't miss it.
54:13Again, Abdullah Abdülkadir Zorlu is on today's main news program.
54:17MC continues to offer a full schedule of news and news programs.
54:23I'm so glad you're here. I hope to see you again at the same time on Monday.
54:27Goodbye.
