The virus, which emerged in Iraq in mid-January, reached Turkey in a very short time, about a month, with the ignorance of illegal crossings of animals at the borders whose control was reduced after the earthquake.

‘CITIZEN SURVIVED POPULIST DECISIONS IN THE ELECTION PROCESS’

While the rising costs of the breeder, the cornerstone of the sector, are already causing nightmares, our citizens, who pinned all their hopes on the trade they will make during Eid al-Adha, were sacrificed to populist decisions during the electoral process. .”

İNCESU: VACCINATION SHOULD BE MANDATORY

“All communication channels, especially TRT, as the fastest way to reach the field, must start the necessary studies without losing time to prevent the country’s economy from failing, depending on the severity of the process and the components of the sector .

International cooperation protocols must be implemented immediately. Border security can be guaranteed with the cooperation of our neighbors. Otherwise, internal measures will not go beyond simply saving the day and cannot solve the problem.

The inspection process of our farmer’s current animals must be brought forward immediately and their complaints must be minimized. It must be ensured that the damage of the breeder is determined from the date of appearance of the virus to the range of dates in which it was brought under control and the process with support packages must be avoided”.
