Turkish parliamentary legislative agenda

Overview

The Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) has commenced its 5th legislative year of the 28th term following a 51-day recess. The opening session featured ceremonial tributes and official addresses by Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Speaker Kurtulmuş highlighted the establishment of a Monitoring Commission to oversee disarmament laws and emphasized the need for a new, democratic constitution. The session was marked by political tension when members of the Yeni Parti walked out during President Erdoğan’s speech, an action criticized by MHP Leader Devlet Bahçeli and Speaker Kurtulmuş as lacking “political etiquette.”

Parallel to these legislative developments, the government is addressing a crisis involving 131 funds and approximately 455,758 individual investors. President Erdoğan stated that authorities are working to resolve market issues “swiftly and fairly” to ensure economic security. The Fund Coordination Board, chaired by Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz, held its second meeting to establish payment schedules and calculation methods for investors in funds undergoing liquidation. Former TBMM Speaker Bülent Arınç has raised concerns regarding the crisis, alleging a potential loss of 800 billion and calling for accountability.

The TBMM legislative agenda has expanded to include the Turkish Red Crescent Law proposal. This 9-article proposal would grant the organization exclusive authority to receive and utilize all in-kind and cash aid sent to Türkiye from international organizations. It also includes provisions for strategic procurement of disaster-related goods exempt from the Public Procurement Law. Additionally, the assembly will discuss the Foreign Digital Accommodation Platforms Law, which would require global platforms like Booking and Expedia to obtain permits, pay an initial fee of 5 million TL, and maintain local representatives. Meanwhile, Central Bank Governor Fatih Karahan is scheduled to present to the Plan and Budget Commission regarding inflation and monetary policy.
