The Committee's Foundation, The Diploma's Expanding Reach

The day saw significant developments across key narratives. The 'fake diploma' scandal continued to dominate media attention, with new reports linking it to FETÖ and detailing the "e-signature" ring. By afternoon, the Foreign Ministry actively refuted claims regarding Minister Fidan’s university credentials, highlighting the scandal’s widening political implications. Concurrently, the 'Terror-Free Türkiye' committee, a focus from previous days, held its inaugural meetings, formalizing its working rules and proposing a name by evening. This marked a concrete step in its establishment. Major military appointments, including a new Chief of General Staff, were announced in the afternoon following the High Military Council (YAŞ) meeting. Additionally, the reinstatement of Adıyaman Mayor Abdurrahman Tutdere drew notable coverage. The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza also remained a consistent international topic throughout the day.
