Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has spoken at the Justice and Development Party (AKP) Extended Provincial Presidents Meeting.

“Those who enter other forces’ services, long for mandate government, don’t believe we can be independent and sovereign, sub-supplier organizations, ditches, holes, traps of the ones who produce nothing but violence and hatred will not bring Turkey to its knees”, PM Davutoğlu said.

Operations

Here are some headlines from Davutoğlu’s speech:

“Those who try to lose Turkey’s footing by digging holes, laying ambushes, detonating explosives. Turkey will not return from its intended path.

“There are political staff going into orbit of terror organizations after the election. There are sauceboxes who pay condolence visit to terrorists, dare to threaten this nation through rostrums but we know how to cut them down to size”.

Parliamentary immunities

“Here was the plan of HDP (Peoples’ Democratic Party) and CHP (People’s Republican Party); AKP wouldn’t lean towards lifting parliamentary immunities, thus the MPs supporting terror will be saved.

“Or, they will block the parliament together by claiming their (HDP) MPs’ parliamentary immunity will be lifted, and won’t allow our reform drafts pass as they did last year with internal security law. Furthermore, they will play the victim.

“We’ve invalidated these games with a single move. While they deal with little pawns, we said ‘check’ and they are checkmated”.

Summary of proceedings

“We’ve offered to discuss all the summary of proceedings referred to the parliament. By doing that, we’ve showed that first, AKP has no file to fear anyone. Even if there is, we know to settle a score.

“Secondly, HDP will never in no way play the victim, they are not victim, they are cruel and treacherous that associate with murderers.

“Now the ball is on CHP’s field, we wait for what they will say. We wait for what MHP (Nationalist Movement Party) will say. What HDP to say is already known. Their words have no value before the nation or us”.

Attack in Brussels

“There is no double standard in our world, in our system of values. The lives of those who lost their lives in terror attack in Kızılay in Ankara and the people who lost their lives in Brussels, no matter if they are Muslims or Christians, have the same value to us.

“Now everyone should their lessons from these painful incident. Those who are worried about their short-term interests by making my terrorist-your terrorist distinction, shall see or started to see that they will pay heavy prices in middle and long term.

“Europe has no other partner than Turkey to ensure regional security. They need to see this fact and act in accordance with it”. (AS/TK)

More than 600 people in the northwestern province of Kocaeli were hospitalized this week with symptoms of food poisoning after consuming chicken döner at a local restaurant in the Körfez district, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.

Owners of the business have been arrested in connection with the incident.

Kocaeli Governor’s Office said in a statement that 648 people sought medical treatment with complaints of nausea, fever, and vomiting. While 646 people have been discharged, two children remain under medical care at a private hospital.

Following a tip from the Körfez District Health Directorate, food safety teams from the local Agriculture and Forestry Directorate inspected the restaurant and took samples from the chicken döner. The samples were sent to the Kocaeli Food Control Laboratory for analysis.

The laboratory found that the chicken döner tested positive for contamination and failed to meet the standards outlined in Turkey’s Food Codex Microbiological Criteria Regulation. The restaurant was subsequently sealed by the Körfez Municipality as a precaution.

In light of the findings, authorities launched legal proceedings against the restaurant. The two owners, identified as K.Y. and E.T., were taken into custody and later arrested by a local court on charges related to food safety violations.

Laundry bleach to make chicken appear fresh

Health experts have raised concerns over the recent rise in foodborne illnesses linked to poultry in Turkey. Chicken döner, often favored for its affordability compared to red meat varieties, has been at the center of several contamination incidents.

Gastroenterology specialist Prof. Dr. Vedat Göral commented on the broader risks associated with poultry-based street food. “Consuming raw or undercooked chicken increases the risk of bacterial infections,” he told AA. “Pathogens like Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Clostridium perfringens can cause serious health issues, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, pregnant individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.”

Göral also warned about illicit practices in some unregulated establishments, saying, “Some vendors are known to bleach spoiled chicken meat with cleaning agents to make it appear fresh. This amounts to a direct threat to public health and is tantamount to attempted murder.” (VK)
