* EYT issue is one of the most important issues. The reason it’s dragging on is because we’re listening to everyone. Now we hear the rooms. This also worries employers. They say they also have a financial burden. In addition, they state that they will be paid and qualified personnel.

*There are also those who say to postpone the age limit, postpone this, postpone this. As is known, this regulation covers employees before September 8, 1999. However, there are also those whose insurance period is not transferred to digital. We are trying to fix this too. I hope to keep my word and this will not hang in January and will come to Parliament this month. We will make the most complete arrangement.

*You know, there are 3 basic criteria here. I said this in committee today as well. If there was no age requirement today, I explained how many people could retire compared to June, it’s close to 1,600,000.

“WE NEED TO DO A REALISTIC JOB”

*Today this number is slightly higher. In January this will go up a bit more. Therefore, we need to take all the data and do a realistic study. After revealing all the charge that will be reflected in the private sector and the public, I will share it with the entire public.

*Here I would like to express clearly; Workers in Turkey will know the minimum wage in the coming days. We will support our workers here. Nobody should worry about that.

When EYT comes to the fore, it will have the same inclusiveness.
