'In conclusion, this was an issue that really concerned around 4 million 100 thousand retirees. Even if you increase it by a thousand liras, it places a burden of 61 billion on the budget and disrupts the entire balance. On the other hand, when you look at all of them, there are nearly 16-17 million retirees.'

By passing the EYT legislation, we added 5 million more to the 12 million retirees. Inshort, we were forced to divide the salaries of 2 people among 3 people.

Perhaps 6 or maybe 9 months, I don't know. When we look at the programs presented to us by Mehmet Şimşek, if we cut or disrupt this program, it will be difficult for us to meet the targets of the subsequent programs. much more difficult and will deepen.In the words of Anatolia, we haveswum and swum to reach thetail, inflation has reached a certain rate, purchasingpower has started to increasea little. We are aware of the difficulties our retirees are currently experiencing. Hopefully, there is very little left. We ask our retirees for six months of patience.

Perhaps we could not provide a satisfactory figure for our retirees in terms of salaries, but we will try to provide reliefwithin this year through socialassistance.

In the coming years, when inflation settles, our path will be muchclearer. We have reached the final stage; I know our retirees are strugglingto make ends meet, and I find it difficulteven to talk about it, but I will ask for a little more patience,' he said.
