National Defense Minister Hulusi Akar announced that Turkey has transported 30 million tons of grain to those in need with the Black Sea Grain Agreement signed on July 22. He also stated that negotiations are ongoing to maintain stability in the transportation of grain and prevent business from coming to a halt. Akar attended various events where he highlighted Turkey’s efforts in the fight against terrorism and the importance of preserving the gains made in this fight. He emphasized that it is not possible for Turkey to rest until the terrorists’ presence in northern Iraq and Syria ends. He also warned against political rhetoric that suggests terrorists can be released and autonomy can be granted to them. Akar celebrated “Mother’s Day” at an event organized by the Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality, where he expressed gratitude and respect for the mothers of martyrs. He urged the nation not to give life to terrorists in the upcoming elections and to maintain their gains in the fight against terrorism.
