Significant Decisions Published in June 17, 2025 Official Gazette

ANKARA – The Republic of Türkiye's Official Gazette, dated June 17, 2025, and numbered 32929, announced a crucial Presidential Decree within its executive and administrative section, alongside various new regulations updating university administrative structures. This issue, also featuring a range of announcements from judiciary notices to tenders, highlighted the latest developments in the country's legal and administrative processes.

Presidential Decree (No: 9977): Updated List in Counter-Terrorism Efforts

The most critical regulation published in the Executive and Administrative Section of the Official Gazette was the "Decision Regarding the Amendment to List (1) Annexed to the Council of Ministers Decision Dated 30/9/2013 and Numbered 2013/5428, on the Freezing of Assets of Persons, Entities, or Organizations Listed by United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1267 (1999), 1988 (2011), 1989 (2011), and 2253 (2015) (Decision No: 9977)."

This decision, enacted on June 16, 2025, with the signature of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is based on Article 5 of Law No. 6415 on the Prevention of the Financing of Terrorism. This regulation is considered a testament to Türkiye's commitment to international counter-terrorism efforts and the prevention of terrorism financing. Updates to the list of individuals, entities, and organizations whose assets are frozen, as determined by UN Security Council resolutions, emerge as a result of international cooperation and intelligence sharing. The details of the decision outline the scope of the changes and the specific names or entities updated on the list.

Innovations in University Regulations

The "Regulations" section featured two important updates concerning educational institutions:

• Regulation on Amending the Regulation on Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Oral and Dental Health Application and Research Center: This amendment covers updates to the functioning, duties, and authorities of the Oral and Dental Health Application and Research Center within Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. Such regulations aim to enhance the quality of academic and health services by enabling centers to provide more effective and efficient services.
• Fırat University Barrier-Free Life Application and Research Center Regulation: This new regulation, published by Fırat University, concerns the establishment of a "Barrier-Free Life Application and Research Center" within the university and its operational principles. This center aims to enable disabled individuals to participate more actively in academic and social life, remove barriers they face, and improve their quality of life. This step demonstrates the universities' commitment to social responsibility and inclusivity.

New Board Decision from BRSA and Various Announcements

The Official Gazette also included the Decision of the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BRSA) Board, Dated June 13, 2025, and Numbered 11226. This board decision, which closely concerns the banking and finance sector, typically involves supervision, regulation, or new measures for the industry.

In the "Announcement Section," as is customary in every Official Gazette issue, various notices were published. These included "Judicial Announcements," "Auction, Bid, and Tender Announcements," and "Miscellaneous Announcements." Notably, the publication of the current "Exchange Rates" and "Daily Values of Government Domestic Debt Securities" determined by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye is significant for those monitoring financial markets.

The June 17, 2025 Official Gazette thus presented crucial information to the public regarding new regulations enacted in legal, economic, and academic fields, reflecting the ongoing operations of the state.
