  • 00:00What are the next steps and the next step seems to be a question of the party leadership for president. Everyone will rejoin the ruling party. Will there be an extraordinary congress of our party to decide on the leadership. I think you initially said no present no one seemed to be more open less clear about that . I answered the union can execute this constitutional change will fully go into effect in years ahead. Specifically on November 3rd 2019 according to the current plan on the presidential system will go into impact at this date with presidential and general elections that will be held simultaneously. But there are three main pieces of legislation that will go into effect immediately. And one of these will be the president's restoration of ties with a political party. Right now the president is not a member . Therefore he can be immediately and will gladly invite him to our party. The president is a founder of the party and has also served as its chairman in the past. We would be excessively happy . Secondly there is no constitutional hurdle that would prevent him from being a party chairman along with party membership . This is also his wish and we will show no hesitation to implement this as though it is just from Britain Washburn. And you mentioned you mentioned the possibility of early elections is right now that the elections are set for November 2019. What would have have to happen for that to change. What what are the conditions to bring those elections forward. Also with a party or lyrics on the issue look honestly we haven't held an early election unless we really had to. During our 15 years in government we don't embrace snap votes as a principle because early elections create uncertainty and make it difficult to make forecasts leading to long waits and economic issues as well as others. Therefore early elections are not something we prefer unless there is an extra ordinary development the next round of elections will be held on November 3rd 2019. But before that at the end of March in 2019 there will be municipal elections . There is a municipal election in the march of 2019 and then presidential and general elections in November of the same year . Other than this there is no other planned election. That is all. There is no position to hold an early election at the moment. Question that each person. One of the things you said you wanted to focus on projects in the future and future policies is as part of that. Are you considering changing the Cabinet reshuffling the cabinet. And if so when are you thinking of doing that. For example we are hearing is it possible that early ballots on may return to the cabinet or come back to a senior position in government. LIAM BYRNE There is an acquaintance from autonomous NGO communities. It would not be right for me to speak about names about who will come and who will go without taking such a step. It would not be right to talk about it. It would be inappropriate to those friends of Ise but you will also appreciate that from time to time sometimes you need fresh blood in the cabinets when appropriate . We can make a change. No I think that in the coming months we will definitely take up this subject in consultation with the president delivered in terms of restructuring. This is something that's mentioned by the Turkish government many times I think. You have talked about it many times. What specifically do you mean by restructuring the orange Bachchan All right. I'll keep you up to them. Yes. We're going to accelerate infrastructure investments. Turkey will make very big investments in railways this year and next Emilio. We're going to invest at least around 100 billion liras in railroads over the next decade. This means investing in Turkey's future . We have already made significant investments in land roads in the areas of maritime industries and aviation. That's why Turkey's economy tripled and exports quadrupled while the world was in a crisis. Turkey has implemented some of the world's largest projects such as Ma Moreh after a side tunnel the world's largest airports OSM and Ghazi and Yavuz Sultan Salim bridges. Now we're working on a different projects for the Istanbul straits a tunnel for both trains and cars in the area of health. We've already achieved a major transformation . We're forming hospitals cities with 2000 to 3000 beds. We call them hospitals cities because they're not only hospitals . They're more like enormous complexes with all sorts of infrastructure accommodation living areas operating rooms and clinics doing Shery Ahn sector security. And if I may go now to the relationship with the European Union you appear very committed to a dialogue with the EU while the president seems to be more open to possibly ending the membership talks. Is there a possibility that Turkey and the EU will suspend membership talks and maybe seek to head in a different direction. I'm not sure whether to move to new in the Eric Balchunas. The plans to provide financial support for over 3 million refugees in Turkey and the visa waiver all of these have been left in limbo. There was supposed to be a support of three billion euros so far and the amount that has been sent is 790 million. It's been a year. Where is the 3 billion euros on the visa waiver was going to be implemented at the end of June last year. That has also gone or that there is nothing to be seen or that is also not going to happen yet. In addition to all of this we see finger pointing at Turkey with instructions to do this and not to do that as if they are the teachers. And Turkey is their student. That kind of thing won't be accepted by this nation. These won't increase but instead will reduce the interest in or demand for the EU in Turkey. On the other of course our nation and us think this has been intentional. They can't say they don't really want us in the union. They're trying to distance us with these actions . We have not entered and therefore are not in a position to decide to exit out the. I'm sure that is a mistake. Is it true . May I go right. What about you. Are you. Are you interested in can continuing to push for membership or are you changing your mind. You want to go a different path. What is your ideal solution. You're really concerned. In general reply merely be me on notably some Maria Tadeo. We invite the European Union to honesty on the issue of membership first of all. They shall determine their vision for the future first. Will they continue to walk with Turkey or not. They need to put this forth very clearly. We shall see their decision and then we can determine our own path. There are elections in some members of the EU right now and therefore the rhetoric is very different. So far we will see if those different types of rhetoric will continue after the elections or not. It's clear what some members of the EU did before the referendum. Therefore the EU should determine a future vision for itself before these things can proceed on a healthy path. It should put forth what kind of a path it wants to walk on with Turkey or won't. This nation needs to find out what goes on in their head. Do they see Europe as a union of religion. They need to put it forth honestly and earnestly. If they are of the idea that a Christian country has no place in this union. Otherwise there is no point in both sides wasting time alone and have just that .
