Retired farmers expect bonuses
Farmers who could not benefit from the 5,000 lira bonus, which AKP President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced would be given to non-working retirees only once, rebelled against the decision and reacted from the AKP stronghold, the Black Sea region. Hazelnut and tea producers in Trabzon rebelled against the fact that 1,629,730 retired farmers could not benefit from the bonus granted on the occasion of the centenary of the Republic, stating: “The boss did us wrong.”
‘YOU MUST RECEIVE AT LEAST 20 THOUSAND LIRAS’
Retiree Recep Söylemez stated that he owns 5 decares of hazelnut land: “These 5,000 liras are money to deceive, deceive. He didn’t give the normal increase, what would happen if he gave 5 thousand lire? “Under current conditions, a retiree should receive at least 20,000 lire,” he said. Kemal Küçük stated that 500 lira were donated annually for agricultural land and said: “Thanks to them, they got more than they gave. Does a person who governs the country have the right to tell a citizen: “Don’t work and live with this money?” “The boss did us wrong,” Recep Alemdar said, adding: “We couldn’t understand who was given this retirement bonus, so everyone has something to do with it.” They gave the officials an increase of 10,000 lire and they gave us nothing. “We couldn’t understand it,” he said.
