Prof. Dr. At the meeting of the presidential candidates of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and district municipalities of the Victory Party, chaired by Ümit Özdağ, it was underlined that Istanbul is no longer doomed to be stuck between two mentalities that are not very different from each other.
"These two mentalities have worked with the same contractors in Istanbul for decades," said Ümit Özdağ, Chairman of the Victory Party, adding: "These two mentalities defended the interests of the contractors, not the people of Istanbul. Both of these mentalities handed over Istanbul to the same interest groups and exploited Istanbul's resources. "They left the people of Istanbul defenseless against the earthquake. Now we call it Victory time in Turkey and Istanbul to make the real difference," he said.
Mayor Ümit Özdağ, who raised the hand of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor candidate Azmi Karamahmutoğlu, said "Urban transformation", also referring to AK Party candidate Murat Kurum. Which urban transformation? Is this reserve area law an urban transformation that you will carry out by law in order to seize the last remaining expensive and valuable lands in the hands of the Turks? Having spent the last 5 years as a presidential candidate on duty, Ekrem İmamoğluWhile trying to solve Turkey's problems and co-chairmanship of the CHP, he could not deal with any of the problems of Istanbul. "We see that he has no intention of being interested," he said.
