IS A NEW PENSION SYSTEM COMING?

AK Party Deputy Chairman Demiröz stated that they are aware of the situation of retirees and said, "We need to review the retirement system of retirees. After EYT, the social security system became a bit more complex. Turkey needs to return to a normal, international level social security system as soon as possible."

INDICATION OF CHANGES IN 657

Vedat Demiröz said, "Maybe we need to make a new regulation in the 657 State Civil Servants Law to highlight and make the private sector more attractive." Emphasizing that everyone wants to work in the public sector in the current situation, he said, "When it's not like that, everyone burdens the state. We currently have over 5 million employees in the government. This is very high. Even though we switched to e-Government, which has its advantages, this number of government employees exceeding 5 million is a high figure in terms of salary payments and budget payments in the country."
