"THE BIGGEST TRUST OF OUR LORD TO US IS ISTANBUL"

If they ask us and say, "What is the greatest trust of our Lord to you?" We say "Istanbul". Istanbul entrusts us with history. The date of the day is the memorial day. It is a day to commemorate the peace order experienced during the times when Istanbul was the capital city. 400 years… When Jerusalem was ruled from this blessed Istanbul, he worshiped peacefully, be it a Muslim or a Christian. Each sect entered Jerusalem safely. By saying the city of Halil İbrahim, we looked at Jerusalem like the light of our eyes. There is the spirit of Istanbul in Jerusalem, and the spirit of Jerusalem in Istanbul. We still have artifacts in Jerusalem. Those who come to Istanbul see that there is a peace order in the mosque, church and synagogue on the same street. We neither forget Jerusalem nor Istanbul will forget Jerusalem. While I was coming here, I talked to Halit Meşal again and talked to Mahmud Abbas. I conveyed your greetings to them. I said, "Every citizen will be with the Masjid al-Aqsa with their mind and prayers." They said, “We have no doubt about that. If we felt Turkey by our side in our hardest times, we are sure that the hearts of every Turkish brother beat with us from now on ”. Those who want to destroy the Masjid al-Aqsa should know that for us there is no difference between Masjid al-Aqsa and the Kaaba. Our call is a call for peace. For us, the fate of Istanbul and Jerusalem is the same. All of us, especially the mayor of the metropolitan municipality you have given your authority to, we all know that we owe your authority to honor. We are working to protect this trust. Mr. President also greet you. He is in the heart of all Istanbulites.

"THE METRO LINE TO COME OPERATION TODAY HAS A SPECIAL PLACE"

It is one of the important duties to protect Istanbul as a living city and to protect Istanbul as a vibrant city. Istanbul is the city that weaves our soul in Istanbul. From Fatih, where my childhood passed, I learned history with every step I took towards my father's store. We love you heartily. The metro line, which will be activated today, has a special place. The old people know this Aksaray. There were minibuses to go to Bahçelievler. People would go over and over. You wouldn't know where to stop. The transportation issue could not appeal to the growing Istanbul. Finding a bus and minibus was a problem. This terrible history of the Istanbulites has changed with the AK Party. New lines were built both above and below the ground. 10 km of metro lines have been built in the last 141 years. It will increase to 2019 km by 430. It will move to 2019 km after 776. Istanbul is full of history. In order to protect places such as the city walls and Üsküdar, transportation must be moved underground. If it is built above ground, hundreds of historical monuments will have to be demolished. There is a list of places that have been destroyed. These places would not have been destroyed if the subway had started in the past. There is no need to expand roads to serve the growing population. It is necessary to pull the roads underground. Metro services are services that preserve history. Aksaray- Yenikapı may seem short. When this line is completed, all of Istanbul is connected to each other.

"SO A GREAT REVOLUTION MAKES LIFE EASIER AND ENRICHES OUR HISTORY"

We make dreams come true and serve history. Fifty thousand pieces of archaeological pieces were also discovered. Istanbul is a historical and cultural capital. We aim to preserve history with these works. Nobody should be disturbed by this. A 50-kilometer line will be built from Bakırköy to Kirazlı. The sea, air and land of Istanbul will be connected to each other.

Professor Dr. Bozlağan, adding that the number of daily passengers carried by Marmaray will increase when the line goes into service, adding, “An important part of the transfers especially to Taksim, Mecidiyeköy, Levent and Maslak direction will start on this line.
