Within its structure; The center, which houses the Regional Employment Office, the new generation library named after Sabahattin Ali, the Psychological Counseling Center and our Home Istanbul Kindergarten, is the President of IMM. Ekrem İmamoğluIt was opened with a ceremony attended by Making a speech at the ceremony, İmamoğlu was accompanied by Filiz Ali, daughter of Sabattin Ali, one of the symbols of Turkish literature, and his granddaughter İdil Laslo.
“WE MIXED ISTANBUL'S STONE AND SOIL WITH EACH OTHER”
“Even though we say that the stone and soil of our Istanbul are gold, this has been misinterpreted,” said İmamoğlu. In this sense, we all agree that our Istanbul has grown rapidly, incorrectly, and even unevenly. Unfortunately, people who manage for a long time also register this wrong growth by saying 'We betrayed'. But now we have to leave the dark age of this city behind. Together, we have to be the assurance of this city by bringing the best examples of the world to this city with very meaningful, logical, reason, science and technique. Because we all know that this city also has a magnificent resource with its opportunities and possibilities. We only need to change one stream. He also said that we really need to create a secure environment and system that will ensure that the opportunities and resources of this city, the ingenuity and savings of our nation, will flow not only to a handful of people, but to the whole country.
“It is imperative to produce works for the benefit of the nation, not for the benefit of a handful of people”
Emphasizing that it is essential to produce works for the benefit of the nation, not for the benefit of a handful of people, İmamoğlu drew attention to the importance of the "equality element". "I say this as someone who knows the impossibilities and difficulties of this neighborhood," said İmamoğlu, "To close this gap, this distance, for example, to ensure that children here also have access to books, information, access to health, to reveal that equality process, to put forward the equality process in the bodies of the administrators as a resource. I define it as an eye of conscience. If your conscience is closed, you cannot see and regulate these needs. If you do not see the inequality that our pre-school children are exposed to, then your conscience is blind. If you do not feel that injustice, it means that your conscience is closed.
“YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN TO ANYONE THE DON'T HAVE A SINGLE KINDERGARTEN”
Reminding that when they took over the İBB, the institution, which had close to 90 thousand employees, did not even have a single nursery, İmamoğlu said, “You cannot explain to anyone that this huge mechanism does not have a single nursery. In that respect, we are a team that started out by saying '150 Kindergartens in 150 Neighborhoods' and we are walking towards this right goal with strong steps. Not seeing the helplessness of the youth and not providing an environment where our youth and women are protected by the public and where they can meet with some positive discrimination, especially in the processes related to job opportunities, is another sign that the eye of conscience is closed.” Pointing out the Regional Employment Offices and the IMM Student Dormitories, which were previously zero and housing approximately 3000 students in the new term, as an example of their work in this context, İmamoğlu said:
“WHAT YOU DO WORK FOR PEOPLE, YOUR BUDGET IS BENEFITED”
"Being a municipality that offers scholarships to our 75 thousand young people, distributing milk to their children, providing fattening or fodder for the lambs of our farmers, or bringing together tens of millions of liras of investment, including seedlings, with the City Restaurants, of our people, our students, To create areas that will contribute to the healthy nutrition of our poor citizens, to be an administration that is open enough to think that mothers with small children can wander freely in this city, and to feel completely a citizen. We are working hard in every field. Istanbul's child, youth; We work without any discrimination. We are a government determined to do whatever is appropriate for the conscience of this city and the formation of this city's sense of justice. When it is done, when the needs of our people are met, when you do the right thing, when you do good work for people, humanity and nature, your budget will also be blessed. I believe that our budget is a very fruitful one. So to speak; the abundance of that budget, that spiritual power, also increases our ability to do business. We do more, we produce more solutions.”
“THIS BLESSING IS SPREADING ALL OVER OUR CITY”
Emphasizing that they are an administration that has to protect and watch over the budget of Istanbulites, İmamoğlu said, “Our budget is abundant for him. This abundance; As a service, as a solution, as a hope and as happiness, it is spreading all over our city. The '150 Projects in 150 Days' study is the result of just such a study and is real. It is the work that touches people, it is useful work, it is the work that makes people happy and equals them. Fair work. It is the work where the fertile budget is turned into an investment in the most correct way,” he said. Pointing out that it is important to name the library within the Life Center after Sabahattin Ali, one of the leading names in Turkish literature, İmamoğlu said, “I remember him with respect. And in such a period as we count the days towards its 100th year and even the countdown is accelerating, there is a regime that befits our Republic, that gives the rights of our citizens at every point of our city, and that the rulers know its limits, just like the understanding we put forward here, that the Republic is such a regime. I can express it as an example of a process that reveals the
“REALLY BEAUTIFUL DAYS ARE SO CLOSE”
Noting that we all owe a debt to the Republic founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his friends, İmamoğlu said, "We will pay our debts to this nation, this state and this land together, by understanding each other, loving each other, being in solidarity and working hard, by doing clean and moral works." . Stating that they will welcome the new year with these feelings, İmamoğlu said, “Do not forget that we all have the understanding that will reveal that success. Let's reveal it, let's move forward with courage. When we act with these feelings, really good days are very close and we will succeed together.”
FROM ALI TO İMAMOĞLU 'SABAHATTIN ALI' THANKS
Speaking at the ceremony, Filiz Ali expressed her feelings with these words: “I am very honored to be in a place that is bright, sparkling, full of wonderful heartwarming colors, where beautiful books are displayed in libraries, and that this place was named after my father. I would like to take this opportunity to thank IMM, the President of IMM and all the people who contributed. I would like to thank those who contributed to the establishment of this institution, which reminds once again how important reading and books are in all respects. I'm guessing this place will be overflowing with kids. And on their occasion, it is a place that will overflow with the families, mothers and fathers of the children. The fact that the name of such a place is Sabahattin Ali makes me feel really proud and happy. Thank you so much."
In the center, which will house the 16th Regional Employment Offices, there is a new generation library named after Sebahattin Ali, the unforgettable writer of Turkish literature, a Psychological Counseling Center where free sessions will be held, and our Home Istanbul Nursery, which offers quality education to children.
