Following the Cabinet Meeting held at the Presidential Complex, Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan addressed questions from the press, announcing that the Eid bonus of 3,000 lira for retirees will be deposited into their accounts before the holiday.

In response to a journalist’s inquiry about the recently determined 3,000 lira Eid bonuses, Minister Işıkhan stated, “Congratulations. The law has passed in the Parliament, and we are planning the payment dates. We will transfer the bonus to the accounts of retirees before the holiday.
