Will there be an additional raise for the 10,000 lira pension? Ankara Metropolitan Mayoral Candidate explains!

People's Alliance and AKP Ankara Metropolitan Mayoral Candidate Turgut Altınok made statements regarding pensions. Altınok stated that he had discussed the pension 'improvement' with President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Stating that Erdoğan is aware of the grievances of retirees, Altınok said the following:

"We are providing all kinds of support to our retirees. As you know, the Turkish Grand National Assembly is currently in recess, and decisions regarding retirees are made in Parliament. I spoke with our President; an improvement will be made regarding retirees according to budget possibilities.

We have been with our President for the past two days. Again, if anyone can solve it, President Erdoğan will solve it. We discussed the situation; he is aware of the events. We will not leave any of our retirees in Ankara in a difficult situation.
