God forbid, we will do our work intensely to make these beautiful lands more productive and fertile ”.

İmamoğlu asked a journalist, "Do you have a chance to prevent illegal buildings by working in partnership with district municipalities?" Metropolitan, district municipality does not matter. We have to work together with the district governorship in all aspects, and we are also working. Our citizens should also be sensitive in this regard. That is, it is not a sin to denounce a runaway structure in a place where he sees it; It is a sin not to report. Therefore, in order to protect the nature and the environment, we do not allow illegal construction. Look, I've been serving for 2 years. This is in politics, in municipalism; 'Don't let it here, don't let it here.' We never compromise; I am a person closed to that kind of phone, to those kinds of demands. Therefore, we will fight on this issue to the end. We work in harmony with our district municipalities; but every denunciation obtained - is an open call - be it Çatalca or somewhere else; We are sensitive to any notice. We'll go until the end ”gave the answer.
