Breaking news... President Erdoğan brings good news about smart medicine for cancer patients

Breaking news... President Erdoğan brings good news about smart medicine for cancer patients

Creation Date: June 30, 2025 19:40

Here are the highlights from President Erdoğan 's statements: Last week, we left behind the 7th year of the Presidential Government System, which was practically put into practice with the 2018 elections. The Presidential Government System, which put an end to Turkey's nearly 2-century-old governance debates, has passed many tests with flying colors in the last 7 years, from epidemics to wars, earthquakes to floods. In times of crisis, we see the Presidential Government System's strategy period and the advantages it provides to our state much more clearly. With its fast and effective decision-making mechanisms, its architecture that keeps coordination in the state at the highest level, and its structure that is closed to tutelage centers, it makes it easier for Turkey to manage the threats it faces with ease. As the system settles, habits also change. The resistance to the new governance model, some stemming from ignorance and some from ill-intentions, has been broken and has been replaced by trust. There will be no deviation or return from this.

CRITICISM OF OPPOSITION FOR DIVERTING THE AGENDA

Our nation took a stand in the elections of May 14-28, and together with us and our alliance, the Presidential Government System has renewed trust at the ballot box. The old system discussions resorted to by the opposition, which does not raise its head from intra-party fights, in order to divert the agenda are a bitter memory left on the dusty shelves of the old Türkiye. No one will take Türkiye back to the old days when it was the symbol of butterfly-lived coalitions. The construction of the century of Turkey will accelerate even more with the Presidential Government System. In light of our 7-year experience, we are also making our evaluations comprehensively. We are open to and evaluate suggestions that do not undermine the new system, but rather increase its effectiveness and problem-solving capacity. We are honored and pleased to bring such a major reform as the Presidential Government System to Türkiye. I would like to thank our dear nation once again for making the system change possible with the support they gave at the ballot box. I pray that God will not prevent us from serving our country and our people.

"WE WILL NOT OPEN A BREAKTHROUGH ON THE DOMESTIC FRONT"

No matter what troubles we experience around us, we have only one agenda, and that is to pay our debt of gratitude to our nation with service politics. The fake discussions in which the opposition struggles increase the responsibility of the government. We strive to protect not only those who voted for us, but also the faith of our citizens with different political preferences in the state, system and democracy. The poisonous discourses in the form of open threats, which have been increasing in dose in the last 2-3 weeks, are harming our democracy in addition to their addressees. There is an exchange of insults that is dragging the standards of democracy to the bottom. We find it extremely wrong, especially in the spiritual climate of the month of Muharram, for the issue to reach a level that will offend our Alevi souls. We have no tolerance for any action that will open a gap in Türkiye's domestic front. We absolutely cannot allow the creation of new problem areas. The language of hate that weakens our national unity should be abandoned as soon as possible. Those who cannot solve their own internal problems cannot produce solutions to the problems of the nation and the country. While historical ruptures are taking place, the political establishment must also act with Türkiye in mind.

"WE KNOW HOW TO THROW A CANNON TO THOSE WHO THROW A STONE AT OUR WINDOWS"

We are pleased with the progress made in a short time by the terror-free Turkey studies that we initiated as the People's Alliance and meticulously carried out as a state project. We appreciate the responsible and constructive statements of political actors and find them very valuable in terms of the success of the process. The recent incidents in our region have confirmed how accurate and strategic a step this process is. It is understood that some elements within the organization are after various sabotage attempts. Our state will certainly not fall into these traps. When there is an attempt on the peace of our nation or an aggressive move against its national security, we do not tolerate anyone's grief, we crush the heads of the attackers one by one. We know very well how to throw a cannonball at those who throw stones at our windows. We have more than enough power and will to do this when necessary.

NATO LEADERS SUMMIT TO BE HELD IN ANKARA

We attended the NATO leaders' summit held in The Hague on June 24-25. We reflected our will to remove barriers to trade in defense industry products in alliance documents. We drew attention to the 21-month-long oppression in Gaza, both in the closed meeting and in our meetings with the leaders. Turkey will host the 2026 NATO Heads of State and Government Summit in July. We will host NATO leaders in our capital Ankara and prepare the ground for very important decisions.

"OUR FIGHT AGAINST FOREST FIRES CONTINUES"

With the arrival of summer, forest fires have increased. Since June 1, 1,516 fires have broken out. 1,507 have been brought under control. Our planes and helicopters have dropped 33,200 tons of water. 31 people identified as responsible have been detained. 10 were arrested, 10 people were released on judicial measures. Work continues to bring fires in İzmir, Menderes, Seferihisar, Akhisar, Muğla Bodrum under control. Fires in Sakarya-Bilecik have been partially brought under control.

"WE HAVE INCLUDE 5 SMART CANCER DRUGS INTO THE SCOPE OF REIMBURSEMENT"

We have also added the anti-bleeding drug that can be easily applied subcutaneously at home to our reimbursement list for hemophilia A patients. We have taken similar steps in the treatment of our children with SMA. We are including 5 different smart cancer drugs used in the treatment of 25 different cancer diseases in the scope of SGK reimbursement. Previously, our patients were obtaining these cancer drugs with their own means and suing SGK.
