President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made a statement after the cabinet meeting that lasted for approximately 3 and a half hours: “We made a historic call on the headscarf issue, which was brought to the agenda by the CHP Chairman. In the last 20 years, we have completely solved the headscarf problems, which are among the bleeding wounds, in the regulations we have made. With the CHP Chairman bringing it to the agenda again, he showed us that the prohibitionist mentality about the headscarf is still waiting in ambush. Since the issue has come to the fore again, we have proposed to put the solution of the issue directly under the guarantee of the constitution. There was a regulation that was accepted in the Parliament and later canceled by the CHP Chairman at the Constitutional Court. We have instructed our friends for a more comprehensive constitutional amendment, which will include strengthening the family institution on the basis of this regulation. When the issue comes to the agenda of the Assembly, we will see together who will take what attitude on this issue.
We decided to establish the ‘Alevi-Bektashi Culture and Djemevi Presidency’ within our Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Alevi-Bektashi faith leaders, who carry out the services of the Djemevi, will be given a staff within this institution. Alevi-Bektashi institutions, which have to pay rent to foundation properties, will be able to benefit from them free of charge. So far, 7.2 million applications have been made for the project, my first home, my first workplace. 4.5 million of them completed the process by fulfilling all the conditions.
We will provide transportation support to our students who study in cities far from the cities where their families live, to go to and from their schools. Thanks to this support, which will be given twice a year, we aim to ensure that approximately 150 thousand students can travel to and from their families without burdening them.
“HOW YOUNG PEOPLE WERE GOING TO SPACE”
Erdogan’s statements received a reaction from the opposition front. In the comments made by the opposition wing, “You know, young people were going to space. There was no hunger or poverty in the country. The government first makes them needy and then helps them. Young people do not deserve this situation,” evaluations were made.

The government’s support for the student’s return home ticket was also the subject of discussion on social media. Strong criticism was leveled against the government. “People studying at the university can’t even go to their families. First of all, it should be questioned why these children could not get tickets. The students, on the other hand, drew attention to the dormitory problem and criticised, “The students were able to find a place to stay, but did they stay home?”
“THIS COUNTRY’S SONS DON’T DESERVE THIS”

Now, the President proudly announces support for intercity transportation… The children of this country do not deserve this.”
