The ministry swiftly took action, launching extensive investigations across online marketplaces and local sales points. It requested urgent information and documents from businesses selling these products and ensured that trade provincial directorates conducted on-site inspections to closely monitor the process.

₺7.7 Million Fine for the Fire Safety Equipment Sector

Based on the findings and inspection results evaluated by the Board, businesses that were found to have significantly increased the prices of fire safety equipment were fined a total of ₺7,696,810.

Additionally, following investigations by the Ministry of National Education, the Unfair Price Evaluation Board started examining excessive price increases in private educational institutions regarding their goods and services. In this context, comprehensive inspections were conducted under Law No. 6585 on the Regulation of Retail Trade to determine whether private schools had implemented unfair price hikes on tuition, meals, books, stationery, and uniforms.

₺66.2 Million Fine for Private Schools

The investigation revealed that private educational institutions with the highest price increases, especially those with a widespread national network, were thoroughly reviewed by the Board.

As a result, private school operators that exploited the situation and caused financial harm to families were fined ₺66,207,800 in administrative penalties.

During this process, all necessary administrative measures were taken to ensure fair and transparent pricing in the education sector, to prevent parents from being exploited, and to combat any unjust and opportunistic practices within the education system.

₺52.8 Million Fine for Supermarkets and Local Markets

Moreover, bakeries selling bread above regulated prices, butchers engaging in unfair pricing, and both national and local supermarket chains were also investigated as part of wide-ranging inspections in the retail trade sector.

The Board imposed a total fine of ₺52,824,640 on businesses that violated regulations and engaged in excessive pricing practices.

Total Fine Reaches ₺126.7 Million

In conclusion, at its first meeting of 2025, the Unfair Price Evaluation Board of the Ministry of Trade imposed a total of ₺126.7 million in administrative fines on businesses engaging in excessive price hikes.

 

Hızır uluslararası Arama ve Kurtarma Derneği Genel Başkanı Ali Gürgen'den Ege Santorini Açıklaması

 Ege Denizi'nde son dönemde artan sismik aktiviteler, bölgedeki deprem riskini ve olası arama kurtarma operasyonlarının önemini yeniden gündeme getirmiştir. Özellikle Santorini Adası çevresinde yoğunlaşan bu depremler, hem Türkiye hem de Yunanistan için dikkatle izlenmesi gereken bir durum oluşturmuştur.

Son Depremler ve Sismik Aktivite:

Deprem Fırtınası: AFAD'ın verilerine göre, Ege Denizi'nde 28 Ocak 2025'ten bu yana 3'ten büyük 761 deprem kaydedilmiştir. Bu depremlerin en büyüğü 5,2 büyüklüğünde olup, özellikle Santorini Adası çevresinde yoğunlaşmıştır.

Deniz Çekilmesi: İzmir başta olmak üzere Ege kıyılarında deniz seviyesinde ani çekilmeler gözlemlenmiş, bu durum halk arasında endişeye yol açmıştır. Uzmanlar, deniz çekilmelerinin deprem habercisi olabileceğini belirtmektedir.

Alınan Önlemler ve Hazırlıklar:

AFAD'ın Toplantısı: Afet ve Acil Durum Yönetimi Başkanlığı (AFAD), Santorini Adası'ndaki sismik aktivite ve olası riskleri değerlendirmek üzere bir toplantı düzenlemiştir. Toplantıda, bölgedeki gelişmeler ve alınacak önlemler ele alınmıştır.

Yunanistan'daki Tedbirler: Santorini Adası'nda artan sismik hareketlilik nedeniyle okullar tatil edilmiş, çadırlar kurulmuş ve tahliye hazırlıkları başlatılmıştır. Yetkililer, limanlardan uzak durulması ve kapalı alanlarda toplanılmaması yönünde uyarılarda bulunmuştur.

Arama Kurtarma Çalışmaları:

Geçmişte Ege Denizi'nde meydana gelen depremler, arama kurtarma çalışmalarının önemini bir kez daha göstermiştir. Özellikle 30 Ekim 2020'de İzmir Seferihisar açıklarında meydana gelen 6,6 büyüklüğündeki depremde, arama kurtarma ekiplerinin hızlı ve koordineli çalışmaları sayesinde birçok hayat kurtarılmıştır.

Hızır Uluslararası Arama Kurtarma Derneği'nin Rolü:

Bölgedeki artan deprem riski göz önüne alındığında, derneğimizin hazırlıklı olması büyük önem taşımaktadır. Aşağıdaki adımların atılması önerilmektedir:

Ekipman ve Personel Hazırlığı: Ekipmanların düzenli bakımı ve güncellenmesi, personelin sürekli eğitimi sağlanmalıdır.

Bölgesel İşbirlikleri: AFAD ve yerel yönetimlerle işbirliği protokolleri güncellenmeli, ortak tatbikatlar planlanmalıdır.

Halkı Bilgilendirme: Bölge halkına yönelik deprem bilinçlendirme seminerleri ve tatbikatları düzenlenmelidir.

Lojistik Destek: Olası bir deprem durumunda hızlı müdahale için lojistik planlamalar gözden geçirilmelidir.

Sonuç olarak, Ege Denizi'ndeki sismik aktivitelerin yakından izlenmesi ve olası bir deprem durumunda hızlı ve etkili bir arama kurtarma operasyonu için hazırlıkların tamamlanması hayati önem taşımaktadır.

Chairman and AK Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the 7th Ordinary Congress of the AK Party Headquarters Women's Branch at Ankara Sports Hall.

 The highlights of President Erdoğan's statements:

"We have been trying to enthrone the hearts of each of our people"

Since we founded our party, that is, for 23.5 years, we have been patiently walking on a difficult, tough, rugged, but also honorable, important, and friendly path. We have covered every kilometer, every step of this journey that is approaching a quarter of a century with the love of serving our nation, with the passion to serve our nation. We have been trying to reach every inch of Turkey's seven regions, 81 provinces, every inch of the 783 thousand square kilometers, every inch of our 85 million citizens with our services, and to enthrone the hearts of each of our people. Our women have always been the hosts of this blessed struggle.

At the very beginning of my speech, I would like to thank all of my sisters who have supported our cause, movement and party since August 14, 2001, and who have not left us alone in our struggle to serve the nation. I would like to express my gratitude to our former chairmen who served in our women's branch presidency and to all my brothers who have worked hard under the roof of the Women's Branch.

My precious brothers and sisters, we are carrying out our congresses that we started on October 12, as we always say, with the understanding of a relay race. We are managing our congress process by blending the experience of our veterans with the dynamism of our youth and strengthening our cadres with new faces.

"It is not fists but hearts that speak in our congresses"

While the opposition uses the congresses as a means of elimination, we are renewed, refreshed and further strengthen our brotherhood. How fortunate that it is not fists but hearts that speak in our congresses. Not only our organization members but also hearts meet and embrace in our congresses. We are completing our congresses one by one in a festive atmosphere like here today, where there is no chaos, disorder or disrespect, where chairs and insults do not fly in the air.

Last week, we held the 7th Ordinary Congress of our Youth Branches with great enthusiasm and went to a change of guard after 4 years. Today, there is a change of duty and blood in our Headquarters Women's Branch Presidency. First of all, I would like to thank our Düzce Deputy Ayşe Keşir, who has successfully served as the Women's Branch President for 4 years, for her efforts, hard work and sacrifices. Ms. Ayşe and her team have undertaken projects that have left their mark on a wide range of issues from business life to combating violence against women, from disasters to social policies. I congratulate them once again on behalf of myself, my family and my party.

I also pray to God for great success for our Istanbul Deputy Tuğba Işık Ercan, who has taken on a very heavy responsibility as the President. Ms. Tuğba is also a sister who was raised in our Istanbul organizations, served as a member of our Central Decision and Management Board in the past and comes from within this movement. I have full faith and confidence that Tuğba Hanım will carry the flag she has received to even higher levels in every field.

"No matter what our duty is, we are soldiers of the cause of service to the country and the nation"

I would like to reiterate a point that I emphasize at every opportunity today. Look, our struggle is not a struggle for personal fortune or personal career. From the top to the most remote unit, all of us are soldiers of the cause of service to the country and the nation, no matter what our duty is. We are sincerely struggling to glorify Turkey as a whole with our women's branches, youth branches, and primary level, to strengthen our democracy and to bring our nation together with its century-old dreams.

"We will run non-stop until we reach the end"

I would like to draw your attention. We are not sprinters, nor are we people who just make friends until the market. Each of us is a runner of a long and tiring marathon that has the consent of God and the prayers of the people at the end. God willing, we will continue to run on this path without ever losing our energy, patience, excitement and resistance until we reach the top. Please remember this, my dear friends. None of us, including myself, have the luxury of being offended, offended, and disengaged on the path of serving the nation. We have not let such a wrong understanding approach our doorstep until today. God willing, we will not allow such diseases to spread to our system from now on.

We have not been and will not be like those who place their personal ambitions, personal interests and benefits at the center of their politics. We will continue to insist on staying away from egotism and not saying “we”, not “me”. As long as God gives us life, as long as He gives us breath, as long as we have the means, remedy and energy, we will continue to serve all of Turkey together. We are pleased with all of my companions who have transferred their duties in the women’s branches, the youth branches and the provincial and district organizations, we are grateful to each and every one of them, and we are thankful to each and every one of them for their efforts.
