The Turkish Red Crescent Bill prepared by the AK Party reached the agenda of the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) General Assembly. The bill envisages no-bid procurement of strategic products from Red Crescent affiliates in disasters and emergencies.
The nine-article bill would regulate the institution's duties, powers, financial rights and exemptions in a separate law for the first time. The Red Crescent would become the sole authorized body to receive aid coming to Türkiye from the international Red Cross and Red Crescent network.
