Let's talk about this problem, what kind of law is needed, how this problem can be solved, let's solve them together under the umbrella of the Supreme Parliament."

Who is the boss of this HABAŞ, who is close to him, who has a relationship with whom, who turns a blind eye to these workplace murders?

We will hit the heads of those who say this one by one. "You will learn to respect the Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and knowledge."

Stating that the main issue that needs to be talked about in the country is occupational safety, Kaya said:
"We are living in a period where it is forgotten to talk about inspection-related issues until the next work accident. It is not possible to attribute every work accident to deficiencies, but if you do not carry out the necessary inspections when these work accidents occur, if you do not put the deficiencies into legislation as an example to prevent similar ones from happening in the future, if you do not eliminate the deficiencies related to inspection in practice, we can only expect our citizens to lose their lives in work accidents."

"The state of the Republic of Turkey, under the leadership of our esteemed President, with the sensitivity of the relevant institutions and with the conscience of our nation as a whole, will overcome the obstacles that come their way, no matter where they come from, and demonstrates the will to deal with those who stray from morality, no matter who they are, before the law. From now on, it will continue on its way with the same determination. It should not be forgotten and should always be remembered that laws regulate states, and morality keeps societies alive. We are a nation that believes that civilizations rise with mercy, live with justice and take root with morality." We have to walk with understanding."
Pointing to the genocide taking place in Gaza, Yenişehirlioğlu said, "Gaza is a test of humanity's conscience. We will continue to be the voice of the oppressed until Palestine is free, Jerusalem meets justice, and Gaza finds life again with the laughter of children." he said.
