Minister Samat's request: the implementation of vehicle standards should be postponed for a year despite the planning to implement new vehicle standards starting next year, Minister Samat requested to postpone the implementation of these standards for a year. In a letter to the First Vice President, Defense Minister Atabek cited "the state's emergency conditions and currency problems" and "the inability to invest in the redesign of cars" as the reason for his request. This decision means that domestic cars will continue to be produced for at least another year without meeting the strict new standards and previous criteria. - Link.
