Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş introduced 110 projects that were implemented, continued and completed after completing his third year in office, to the citizens of the capital.
Saadet Party Chairman Temel Karamollaoğlu, CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, many political party representatives, deputies, mayors and thousands of Capital City residents attended the opening, groundbreaking and promotion ceremony held in Ankara Sports Hall.
“A MASSIVE SUCCESS STORY”
In his short speech at the program, Saadet Party Chairman Temel Karamollaoğlu thanked Yavaş for his projects.
"After such a long program and presentation, I just want to express my gratitude to Mr. Yavaş. We would like to thank and congratulate them for putting such a successful work in 3 years. Naturally, we were dizzy. Do not present these projects every 3 years again. If you present fewer projects each year, it will be a little easier for us to follow up. I really think that Ankara is a truly tremendous success story under such pressure that tremendous projects have been prepared, put into practice, and realized, especially with humility, without exaggeration," he said.
"YAVAS HAS A SPECIAL PLACE"
CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, praising Ankara Mayor Mansur Yavaş, "We listened to a mayor. A successful mayor. Above all, a mayor who takes accountability as an honorable duty. Therefore, a mayor who gives an account of every penny he spends to his own people, to his own nation, to his own citizens, has a place on our heads. A mayor who never leaves anyone hungry or exposed. A mayor who makes no distinction between himself and the citizen. If there is a problem in a house, a mayor who worries with that problem. A mayor struggling to make himself competitive with other metropolises. In the presence of all of you, I once again congratulate our Mayor Mansur Yavaş from my heart and entrust him to the people of Ankara," he said.
“CITY OF INSTITUTION, LIBERATION AND LOVE”
Ankara Mayor Mansur Yavaş, who took the stage among the applause of the capital, summarized the 3 years by expressing his understanding of management with the following words:
"When we aspired to the position 3 years ago, we expressed these feelings with a loud voice: 'This city is tired, don't get tired anymore. This city is tense, don't tense anymore. This city has suffered a lot from unnecessary conflicts, strife, and corruption; Don't do it anymore.' This is Ankara, the Capital of the Republic. The city of foundation, liberation and many loves. This is the city of patriotism, which is the greatest love among those many loves. This is the city of culture, art and solidarity. This is the city of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. We said that 'unification, not segregation befits this city'. We said that the understanding of 'I will start serving from whichever region needs it' is worthy of this city, not the understanding that 'whoever votes the most, I will start serving from that region'. ‘Ankara residents should get rid of concrete, plastic and rent; We said that a climate of abundance and peace should come to the capital. We said, 'The sun is more valuable than the skyscraper that closes it'. Because if you are looking for hope in a city, you must enlighten that city with justice. If you are looking for the future in a city; you have to act with the historical responsibilities of that city. If you are looking for peace in a city; you need to reinforce goodness, solidarity and brotherhood in that city. Right after the elections, we rolled up our sleeves to keep these promises. At the end of 3 years, we are happy to achieve this to a great extent, but our biggest project has been the peace and happiness of this city, the Capital. Our craziest project in the past 3 years has been the sense of justice and brotherhood we brought to the city."
