People affected by the exclusion of insured internship and apprenticeship periods from pension calculations are calling on Turkey’s Parliament to act.
The legal campaign gained renewed hope after Supreme Court rulings favored plaintiffs in related cases. Murat Aydın, president of the Internship and Apprenticeship Insurance Victims Federation, and Ferhat Salman, its founding honorary president, said the fight for rights should not remain limited to individual lawsuits.
They called for a permanent legal arrangement to resolve the issue through the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.
