Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi attended the program as part of the National Security Conferences and evaluated the strategies to combat organized crime groups. Minister Çiftçi announced that 2026 is the 'Year of Fight against Organized Crime Groups and Drugs'.
Fight under four main headings
The presentation included work under the headings 'Combating Organized Crime Groups in Cyberspace', 'Examples of Extraditions from Abroad', 'Fight against Narcotic Organized Crime Groups', and 'Current Operations'. Minister Çiftçi emphasized the importance of operations targeting the financial and digital infrastructure of crime groups.
Stating that Turkey will continue its fight against crime both within and beyond its borders with the coordination of all institutions, Çiftçi made the following assessment:
"Under the leadership of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, we are working decisively for a Turkey where no criminal organization can see itself above the law, and no criminal element can threaten the peace of our nation. Our goal is to make the Century of Turkey also the 'Century of Peace'. "
