TODAY'S ZAMAN: "Yerlikaya notes that as a deputy, he represents all sportsmen, not only wrestlers. 'I am their representative in Parliament. Sportsmen from all branches come to visit me and make requests. And this is what I expect,' he says. Yerlikaya says they will launch a campaign titled “1,000 golden children” in order to ensure Turkey’s preparations for the 2012 Olympics are improved, adding that he has high hopes for this campaign.

'Turkey must be well prepared for the 2012 Olympics. However, many fellow sportsmen cannot attend their practices because they do not have sufficient financial resources. To counter this problem, talented sportsmen will be paid a monthly salary close to the minimum wage. In this way, they will not have to worry about finding money for their basic needs. If this campaign is managed well, Turkey may be very successful at the 2012 Olympics. We have already submitted a bill to Parliament to do this,' he said."
