Justice Minister Akın Gürlek said Turkey plans to introduce legal changes on indefinite alimony as part of a legislative package expected in October.

Gürlek made the remarks at the Judicial Year Opening Program of Ankara Bar Association No. 2. He also said the government had reached a consensus on reducing gun-license fees for lawyers.

Under the plan, the fee would be charged at half the current rate for a first application, while no fee would be collected for subsequent renewals.

Gürlek said the 2025-2029 Judicial Reform Strategy lists strengthening the defense and ensuring that lawyers participate more effectively in judicial proceedings among its main objectives. He also said individuals and institutions that create a basis for cultural and moral decline remain priority targets subject to close monitoring and preventive measures.

We plan to implement the legal regulations needed on indefinite alimony as part of the package that will come onto the agenda in October.
