President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will lead the Cabinet Meeting tomorrow at the Beştepe Presidential Complex. The meeting is set to cover a wide range of topics including retirees’ holiday bonuses, the process towards a terrorism-free Turkey, and the issue of stray dogs.
With a global and domestic agenda at play, the Cabinet Meeting under the leadership of President Erdogan is expected to address various critical issues. Discussions are likely to revolve around the steps towards a terrorism-free Turkey, price control measures during the Ramadan month, and recent developments in foreign policy.
### The Process towards a Terrorism-Free Turkey
In recent days, a call to lay down arms came from Imrali regarding a terrorism-free Turkey. Following this call, the Kandil side gave the green light. Therefore, questions surrounding how the terrorist organization will disarm and what steps will be taken in the process are expected to be on the table during the cabinet meeting.
### Addressing the Stray Dog Issue
The problem of stray dogs is also expected to be a topic of discussion in the Cabinet Meeting. After a 2-year-old child was killed in Konya as a result of a stray dog attack, statements pointing out the failure of local authorities to fulfill their responsibilities have sparked debates. The meeting is anticipated to address the unfulfilled steps that local authorities were supposed to take but have not.
Reports on Price Control Inspections to be Presented
The high price control inspections conducted in the market during the Ramadan month are also expected to be on the agenda at the Cabinet Meeting. Reports on inspections carried out jointly by the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry will be presented.
Holiday Bonuses for Retirees to be Discussed
Evaluations regarding the holiday bonuses paid to retirees twice a year during the Ramadan and Eid al-Adha holidays are expected to be made at the Cabinet Meeting. With the approach of the Ramadan holiday, the discussion on whether the 3,000 TL holiday bonus will be updated is likely to be a focal point of the meeting.
Syria, Gaza, and Ukraine on the Agenda
In the upcoming Cabinet Meeting, regional issues are expected to take center stage. The recent tensions in Syria are likely to be discussed to calm the situation and explore potential support that Turkey can offer to the new administration. Additionally, the reconstruction of Gaza and the support that can be provided to the region are expected to be addressed. Evaluations regarding Turkey’s role in the Ukraine-Russia peace process are also anticipated to take place during the meeting.
