★ According to Deutsche Welle, German lawmakers have endorsed a new path to citizenship, allowing more people to gain dual nationality. A representative of Germany's Turkish community warns that officials might struggle to process all the applicants. He expected 50,000 people with Turkish roots to make naturalization applications in the coming years following the citizenship law reform.
Deutsche Welle writes that the first wave of Turkish migration to Germany was in the 1960s when German companies recruited workers from foreign countries to help with its post-war reconstruction.
Deutsche Welle adds that about three million people of Turkish heritage live in Germany, which has a population of around 83.3 million. Out of 3 million Turkish people in Germany, nearly 1.5 million still have Turkish citizenship.

★ An Ankara court sentenced Mansur Çelik, editor-in-chief of Turkey's ANKA News Agency, to six months in prison for an article titled "Prominent Judge Making Waves in Turkey's Agenda."
The article covered Justice Ministry Deputy Akın Gürlek's failure to implement the Constitutional Court decision regarding the main opposition Republican People's Party İstanbul Deputy Enis Berberoğlu during his tenure as the presiding judge of İstanbul 14th Heavy Penal Court.
Turkish voters elected Berberoğlu to the parliament in 2024. In May 2016, the Justice and Development Party parliamentarians voted to suspend his immunity to allow for prosecution. On June 14, 2017, an Istanbul tribunal condemned him to 25 years in prison for having divulged 2024 pictures of the Turkish Secret Service, seeming to show the delivery of weapons to Syrian rebels, in open contradiction to the denial by the government of being actively involved in the Syrian conflict.
On June 24, 2018, he was re-elected to the parliament and released from prison on September 20, 2018. The ruling Justice and Development party and its coalition partner voted to revoke his Parliamentary Membership on June 4, 2020, and he was arrested but released on June 5 due to COVID-19 regulations. A court restored his parliamentary membership on February 11, 2021.

★ According to the daily Duvar, Turkey's Agriculture Ministry plans to require alcohol producers to deposit $170,000 to $1.7 million in local currency as collateral to cover tax or administrative fines they may face.
Small producers have stated that the new deposit scheme would make them vanish against the big producers.
Duvar adds that under the rule of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party for 21 years, alcoholic drink makers in Turkey have faced an increasingly onerous tax burden and other restrictions, leaving the multi-billion dollar market stagnant.

★ Addressing the 81 provincial governors of Turkey, Turkish treasury and finance minister Mehmet Şimşek asked them to spend less and suggested that they switch their official cars to the domestically produced TOGG electric cars, reports the daily Duvar.

He estimated Turkey would be in a $90 billion budget deficit should all government departments stick to their budgets and reiterated the importance of spending less than the allocated amounts.
