Parliament set for busy week with pension, child crime bills
Türkiye’s parliament will have a busy agenda this week, with lawmakers set to debate a bill that would raise the minimum monthly pension payment, a defense mandate extension for Somalia and a proposed regulation concerning offenders under the age of 18.
The General Assembly will begin its weekly work on July 21 by discussing a motion signed by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to extend the deployment of Turkish Armed Forces personnel in Somalia for another two years.
The mandate allows Turkish forces to continue supporting Somalia’s efforts to strengthen security against terrorism and other threats under a defense cooperation agreement between the two countries.
Parliament will also debate a wide-ranging legislative proposal that includes a provision increasing the minimum pension payment to 23,552 Turkish liras (around $500) starting from July.
