Tayyip Erdoğan's Minimum Wage Statement Requested to be Updated

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan answered questions from the press about the economy. Accepting the questions on his return from his Brussels contacts, President Erdoğan said: "We certainly do not withhold such a thing from our citizens, especially from our workers."

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who spoke about the economic agenda in his answers to the media members upon his return from Brussels, made evaluations.

The President said, "I hope this will open new doors for us. I will not disclose right now. Hopefully, with these talks we've had, many different areas of energy will open up before us, and when you hear this, you will say, "Where did this come from?" Hopefully, these talks will yield a solid result. We held the first meetings, I hope our friends will continue the talks, and we will explain this in the continuation of these meetings.

"Everybody is having trouble. We are taking all precautions"

Stating that there are problems all over the world and that they have taken all precautions regarding Turkey, Erdoğan said, "We are taking all kinds of measures regarding food safety, of course. Is there a country in the world today where there is no problem in terms of food security? Every country has a problem to a greater or lesser extent. At this point, we are experiencing some of these problems, but we are taking all our precautions. Let's say there is a problem with red meat. We take our steps accordingly and immediately start our mechanisms.

Let's say, on the other hand, they said there was no sugar. We also saw that stocks and warehouses are full in many places. As soon as they got on top of them with the controls, the candies appeared immediately. They said sunflower oil. Then again, five of our ships in the Sea of ​​Azov came, so that issue was solved in an instant. Similar situations occur in cereals. Our ships loaded with grains and pulses in significant quantities have arrived in Russia and Ukraine, and more are on their way.

By Allah's leave, Turkey will not have any problems in these sectors. Turkey is a strong country, capable of overcoming these challenges. However, the political morality of the opposition in Turkey is bankrupt. The trouble is here. The bankruptcy of the political morality of the opposition only reveals such rumors and such manipulations, and my citizens inevitably feel uncomfortable with these manipulations. We are capable and strong enough to overcome all of this quickly, so no one should worry about it. As of now, we have Ramadan ahead of us. "With Ramadan, I hope we will not cause the slightest trouble or worry to our citizens and we will experience a peaceful Ramadan together with our people," he said.

When it was stated that the minimum wage did not cover the expenses of the citizens after the increasing prices, President Tayyip Erdoğan said, "We are only in the third month now. When we come to the middle of the year, my Minister of Labor and Social Security brings the current situation to me. In fact, Vedat Bey has exchanged sincere views with the unions so far. As a result of the negotiations to be held, when such an evaluation is required in the middle of the year, we will definitely not withhold such a thing from our citizens, especially our workers. The hand that gives is better than the hand that takes."
