There are ALTERNATIVE PROJECTS

The second one can be easily connected to Of or Rize, starting from Erzincan and passing through the wide plains of Kelkit and Bayburt, or from the shorter Erbaş to Bayburt plains. Of

'SUPPORT SHOULD TAKE THE UNIVERSITY'

Anım Mr. Prime Minister, your High Speed ​​Train move really excites us. I hope our dream will come true. However, it is essential that the projects be explored in a very detailed and alternative way, that no deliberate hands are intervened, resources are not wasted, and support and contribution from everyone, especially universities. Our intention is to confiscate the wrong project that DLH has commissioned and start work to ensure the right project. ”
