### Şimşek: We will not give up on disinflation even during the election process

Şimşek said disinflation was not progressing at the desired pace but would continue during the election process. He said year-end inflation would have been around 20-22% without the war, and that civil servant and pensioner salaries would rise at least in line with inflation.

## Politics

### Hearings continue in İBB case, defendants not under arrest present defense

At the 82nd hearing of the İBB case, defendants not under arrest presented their defense; Babacan denied the bribery allegation and Karakaya denied claims that he had organized the tenders himself. In a separate development, the lawyer for İPA Head Buğra Gökçe requested release, stating that the maximum detention period had expired.

*Where reports differ:* **Pro-government press** Sabah and Hürriyet highlighted the content of the indictment, reporting that İmamoğlu was portrayed as the "leader of the organization," that an assessment of approximately 160 billion lira in public damages related to 143 acts had been made, and conveyed the sentences sought. **Opposition-leaning and independent press** Medyascope, Independent Türkçe, BirGün and Yeniçağ highlighted the defendants' denials of the charges and the statement "there is no bribery situation," and also reported on the request for release by Buğra Gökçe's lawyer on grounds that the maximum detention period had expired.

### CHP spokesperson Sarı: No legal obstacle remains before the congress

CHP spokesperson Müslim Sarı said the appeal filed with the Court of Cassation (Yargıtay) in the absolute nullity case had been withdrawn, and that other plaintiffs had also dropped their cases, meaning no legal obstacle remained before the congress. The ruling is expected to become final within 1 to 1.5 months.

*Where reports differ:* **Opposition-leaning press** BirGün described the management making the announcement as the "absolute nullity management" and "an MYK made up of unelected members," and reminded readers that police had intervened at the party headquarters after the ruling. **Pro-government press** A Haber reported on the agenda through the postponement to October 21 of the criminal case related to CHP's 38th Ordinary Congress and the delegate allegations in the indictment; it also gave space to criticism from Yenilik Partisi Chairman Öztürk Yılmaz regarding the name-similarity dispute.

### Tera Portföy declares default in two funds, payment periods extended in six funds

On the evening of September 16, as Borsa Istanbul (BIST) fell sharply, Tera Portföy declared a payment default in its THF and TP2 funds. Unit share value in six free funds, including TLY, will now be calculated on the 15th of each month, with sale proceeds paid on the 10th business day.

*Where reports differ:* **Independent press** Ekonomim and Karar focused on the technical content of the disclosures, noting that the default does not mean the fund's collapse but that investors could not access their money within the expected timeframe, and that fund size data varied between 224 and 243 billion lira across different platforms. **Opposition-leaning press** Cumhuriyet, Halk TV, BirGün and Evrensel highlighted a statement by Tera Holding Chairman Emre Tezmen referencing President Erdoğan and describing the process as a "speculative attack"; they presented Tezmen's defense of a "temporary liquidity shortage" with skepticism.

### Expert examination ordered for "Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu" series in Kozinoğlu investigation

The Silivri Chief Public Prosecutor's Office ordered an expert examination in the investigation into the 2011 death of former MİT officer Kaşif Kozinoğlu, covering allegations that the TV series 'Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu' depicted a character being killed as a "traitor to the homeland" and contained FETÖ propaganda involving vehicles with "FG" plates. Three screenwriters of the series gave statements, and proceedings were launched against 11 suspects in the investigation.

*Where reports differ:* **State media** TRT Haber and Daily Sabah highlighted the prosecutor's office statement, reporting that the investigation was being conducted meticulously, that the allegations regarding the series would be clarified by an expert panel, and that proceedings had been initiated against prison staff. **Opposition-leaning press** Evrensel and DW Turkish emphasized that journalist Selahattin Günday, detained as part of the same investigation, was detained a second time without having his statement taken by the prosecutor's office; his lawyers described the ruling as a "backup detention" and a violation of the right to defense.

### Türkiye condemns drone attempt targeting Mecca; Houthis deny the claim

Saudi Arabia announced it destroyed a drone south of Mecca on the evening of September 15. Türkiye's Foreign Ministry condemned what it said was a Houthi attempt to target Mecca, while the Houthis denied the claim, saying they had only targeted oil facilities and military bases.

*Where reports differ:* **State media and pro-government press** TRT Haber and Hürriyet reported the incident as a Houthi attack attempt targeting Mecca and highlighted Türkiye's condemnation statement along with reactions from AKP and Communications Directorate officials. **Opposition-leaning and foreign press** Evrensel and DW Turkish presented the report as a "claim," and also conveyed Houthi officials' statement that "the claim that Mecca was targeted is a stale lie," as well as the Houthis' counter-claims regarding Saudi airstrikes.
