Last July, the export of transit sheep from Syria to the Gulf countries via Turkey was given to a single company by the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives without a tender.
It turned out that 70 percent of the 2023 export quota was given to the same company.
At a time when Turkey closed its small cattle exports, a great privilege was provided with the high export quota given to the company.
“Who is behind this firm?” the question came up.
While the livestock sector is being hit hard in Turkey due to the wrong policies implemented, those who are politically tolerant are turning the corner with the sheep trade from Syria.
A new development has emerged in the transit sheep trade from Syria to the Gulf countries via Turkey, which came to the agenda with the allegations that a contract was signed with the company of former AKP deputy Salih Kapusuz.
Despite the fact that the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives own Tareks Livestock Company, it was revealed that last July, it had transferred the quota for the export of 50 thousand sheep from Syria to a single company without a tender or announcement.
After the scandal was revealed by the Milli Gazete, the export of sheep from Syria was suspended.
It turned out that the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives gave 70 percent of the export quota for 2023 to the same company, silently, with the claims falling off the agenda.
It was noteworthy that the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives could not give up on the said company despite the allegations that came to the agenda.
The fact that the export quota was given at a time when Turkey's small cattle exports were closed, revealed what kind of privilege this company was given.
IT WAS THE DOOR OF RANT FOR SOMEONE!
In order to support the producers in the Peace Spring region under the control of Turkey in Syria, 50 thousand head export quotas were given to the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives and the Meat and Dairy Institution for the export of approximately 100 thousand head of sheep and goats to the Gulf countries via Turkey. .
While the Meat and Milk Institution had not yet used the quota given to it, it was revealed that the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives had transferred the export quota of 50 thousand titles to a private company for 6 dollars per animal.
The transfer of the export quota of 50 thousand head sheep given to him by the state without any tender or announcement of Agricultural Credit Cooperatives to a company named Fevzullah Sayın, and the authorization of this company to trade in lamb export brought along political discussions.
THE NAME OF AKP EX-MP SALİH KAPUSUZ HAS COME UP!
Allegations came to the fore that Fevzullah Sayın's company was backed by former AKP Deputy Salih Kapusuz.
It was noteworthy that Kapusuz remained silent by not making any statement regarding these allegations.
EXPORT PERMISSION WAS GRANTED WITHOUT A BOARD OF DIRECTORS DECISION!
The fact that the company titled Fevzullah Sayın, which was authorized to trade in lamb export by Tarım Kredi Birlik A.Ş. on June 30, 2022, was authorized only with the signature of Foreign Trade Manager Kürşat Aslan, without the decision of the board of directors, and there was no number in the document, which brought up the claims of offering in sheep exports.
MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE KIRISCI LEFT THE CLAIMS UNANSWERED!
The allegations about the 50 thousand quota given to the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives for the transit sheep exports from Syria to the Gulf countries via Turkey were brought to the agenda of the Parliament.
Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Vahit Kirişci did not answer the questions of CHP Adana Deputy Ayhan Barut on the subject and left them unanswered.
THE PUBLIC OPINION EXPECTS THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS FROM THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL CREDIT COOPERATIVE!
Regarding the sheep exports from Syria to the Gulf countries via Turkey, the public is waiting for answers to the following questions from the Ministry of Agriculture and Agricultural Credit Cooperatives.
Why was the quota given to the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives in sheep exports, which was initiated to support the producers in the Peace Spring region under the control of Turkey in Syria, only by transferring it to one company?
In 2022, 50 thousand head of sheep export permission was given to a person named Fevzullah Sayın by the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives. What is the reason why the export permit was given to this person without a tender?
How much did Fevzullah Sayın export in 2021-2022?
What is the real reason for the government to transfer the authority given to Agricultural Credit Cooperatives to a single person by completely disabling other exporting companies?
Although a quota was given by signing a contract with Fevzullah Sayın in l2022, why weren't animals brought from Syria until exports were closed in Turkey?
While 70 percent of the quota for the year 2023 was given to the same person again, was the distribution of the 30 percent quota among some companies unlike in 2022, in order to avoid the criticism that the quota was given to a single person?
