Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke to reporters at the Presidential Complex on the new regulation about those hindered from retirement due to age.

Making statements on the new regulation about those hindered from retirement due to age (EYT), Erdoğan said: “There will be no age limit to the use of retirement right."

Erdoğan stated that there will be no age limit to the use of retirement rights.

Noting that the regulation has taken its final form following long and comprehensive preparations, Erdoğan said: “With major rises in the minimum wage, public salaries, and pensions, we have already shown and continue to show that we stand with fixed-income employees who suffer from the global crisis’ effects on our country. This will of ours is also reflected by the new minimum wage we announced last week.”

“Today, we are once again displaying our support by sharing the good news about a step that meets the retirement age expectations of the employees who started to work before 1999. I believe that we will rid the system of any kind of disputes and streamline it through this regulation, which actually means a big sacrifice on the state’s part. We will continue to share our country’s expanding and growing means and capabilities with every segment of our society, particularly in areas related to employment and manufacturing. As in every issue and as always, we implement this regulation for our nation and dedicate it to our nation,” Erdoğan added. (ILKHA)
