Is Fahrettin Koca leaving his position?
Fahrettin Koca, Turkey's Health Minister, is rumored to be leaving his position amid criticism of his handling of the healthcare system and the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite previous attempts to resign, Koca has remained in office since 2018. The article highlights ongoing issues in Turkey's healthcare system, including doctor shortages, infrastructure problems, and the shift towards privatization. Criticism from within the AKP and public dissatisfaction are noted, with significant complaints directed at the Ministry of Health. The article suggests that systemic changes are necessary to address these issues, rather than merely changing the minister.
Turkey is expected to be removed from the gray list
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is expected to announce Turkey's removal from its gray list, which includes countries under increased monitoring for financial crimes. This follows Turkey's recent legislative reforms, including cryptocurrency regulations. Being on the gray list has negatively impacted Turkey's international financial relations and investment climate. While removal from the list is anticipated to have limited economic impact, it may be used for domestic political gains. The article highlights the importance of compliance with FATF standards and the potential political and economic implications for Turkey.
Judicial Obstacle to Construction in Ayder Plateau
The Ayder Plateau in Rize, Turkey, faces legal challenges against construction projects led by TOKİ, with recent court rulings halting changes to its protected status and construction plans. The Rize Administrative Court ruled against the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change's reclassification of the area, citing potential harm to its natural state. Local authorities, including Çamlıhemşin Municipality, argue for development to meet tourism demands, while environmental advocates like lawyer İbrahim Demirci criticize the projects as harmful and profit-driven. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between development and environmental preservation in the region.
Decision announced in the Taksim bombing case
The Istanbul 13th High Criminal Court has sentenced Ahlam Albashır to seven aggravated life sentences and 1,794 years in prison for her role in the 2022 Taksim bombing that killed six people. The court proceedings revealed inconsistencies in Albashır's statements, with her initially admitting to a PKK/PYD connection but later claiming ignorance of the bomb's presence. No organization has claimed responsibility for the attack, though Turkish authorities have pointed to PKK involvement. The case remains complex, with several suspects detained and others, like Bilal Hacmaos, still at large.

Madrasas are only banned on paper
In Turkey, the debate over the religious influence on education continues, with madrasas operating under the guise of 'Quran courses' despite being officially banned since 1924. The article highlights the role of religious communities like İsmailağa Cemaati and HÜDA PAR in running these institutions, often without legal status. Criticism is directed at the Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı for failing to uphold secular educational principles. Academic studies reveal motivations for choosing religious education, while incidents like the death of a child in a madrasa bring attention to the issue. The article underscores the tension between religious practices and secular laws in Turkey's education system.
Is the cause of the disaster in Gayrettepe a chain of negligence?
A fire at the 'Masquerade' nightclub in Istanbul's Gayrettepe district resulted in the deaths of 29 people, mostly workers, sparking debates about negligence. The fire was reportedly caused by welding during unauthorized renovations, with inadequate safety measures like a lack of fire exits and automatic extinguishing systems. Experts and organizations criticize the lack of oversight and permits, highlighting systemic safety failures. Nine individuals, including the club's owners, are in custody. The incident underscores the need for stricter safety regulations and accountability in Turkey.
Medicine, Technology and the End of Cancer
The landscape of cancer treatment has evolved significantly, with new medicines targeting tumor growth more precisely. Despite advancements, a cure for advanced cancer remains rare due to the unique and adaptive nature of cancer cells. Personalized cancer vaccines, leveraging mRNA and artificial intelligence, are being developed to target individual cancer mutations. These vaccines are currently in clinical trials, showing promise in reducing metastatic relapse. The integration of advanced computing and mRNA technology is expected to revolutionize personalized medicine, though regulatory and procedural systems need to keep pace with these advancements. The initial approval of personalized cancer vaccines is anticipated by 2030, with broader availability in the following decade.
Architect Başak Cengiz's mysterious death! Shocking details in the samurai sword murder
In Istanbul, architect Başak Cengiz was fatally attacked with a samurai sword by Göktuğ Boz, who was later apprehended by the police. The incident occurred outside a luxury residence where Cengiz was staying for work. Boz, whose mental stability is questioned, reportedly attacked Cengiz without prior acquaintance, influenced by films. The murder has drawn parallels to a previous case involving a similar random attack. Cengiz's family expressed their grief and called for justice, questioning why Boz was not previously detained if deemed mentally unstable. The investigation continues as Cengiz's body is prepared for burial in Ankara.
