After 8 months, I insistently said, 'Friends, take all the commissioners, bring them. Let them see the concrete under those buildings. Let them feel where they are sitting, 'I said. We went with a plan proposal, a very human offer. We invited those people here. Friends on the commission said, 'We have to convert it here. They went back, saying, 'We have to make this decision immediately. We have friends who witnessed this. No matter what political party it is from; I'm telling you what happened. Because this is not a fairy tale, it is what I have experienced ”.

How will we solve the earthquake in 120 years? That's why I say; The Presidency, the Ministry and the Metropolitan Municipality cannot solve this problem. The district municipality cannot solve this business. TOKI, KİPTAŞ cannot solve this job. "We can solve this job together," he said. Proposing the implementation of systems that can transform the citizens' own homes, İmamoğlu said, "In an environment where the contractor and some financial sectors create an assurance for the system, you can set up such a system in an environment where they create a guarantee, this work goes very quickly and resolves." Noting that when they met with the Minister of Environment and Urbanization, Murat Kurum, he presented the Earthquake Council proposal and was accepted, İmamoğlu emphasized that there was no development in the aftermath.
"1999 EARTHQUAKE BRINGS THE 2001 CRISIS"
İmamoğlu indicating that the issue of Turkey's independence Earthquake, 1999 Marmara earthquake in Turkey has warned that brought the 2001 crisis. Emphasizing that the real issue is the issue of lives to be lost, İmamoğlu invited every person, institution and organization to fulfill their responsibility. Thanks to KİPTAŞ and Beylikdüzü Municipality for the protocol, İmamoğlu said, “They have completed the unfinished process. May Allah not embarrass you. The result is important. Today's signatures are just a motivation. I know and know the private sector representatives who will contribute to this work. They pat their back on them. Beyond the commercial gain of such works, it is a spiritual gain. I wish you success. I hope we will go when those houses are finished as quickly as possible, we can drink the coffee and tea of the people living there without fear and hesitation ”.
