Mehmet Yüksel

The 2023 UEFA Champions League final in Istanbul has affected the short-term rental sector, with occupancy rates reaching 85 percent and prices increasing by up to five times compared to the previous year.

Mehmet Yüksel, the head of the Chamber of Money Changers and Jewelers in Diyarbakır (DİKO), has turned a commercial vehicle into an "animal ambulance," which transfers injured animals to veterinarians or to municipal animal shelters.

In addition to the ambulance, food is distributed to stray animals with a feeding truck.

Lawyers for President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an have dropped complaints about two of the 13 suspects in a case into wiretapping against him during his time as prime minister. 

Two suspects who were allegedly involved in wiretapping then-prime minister President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an and were caught in Romania in February denied all claims against them at a hearing in Ankara on May 4. 

An Ankara court conducted its first hearing on Jan. 2 in a case into the illegal wiretapping of former Prime Minister, now President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an?s offices, with some of the leader?s top guards accused of planting bugs to eavesdrop on Erdo?an.
