Retired Teacher Journalist-Writer Cavit Deniz, who is from Hasköy, said at the press conference he held at the Enezliller Association Club yesterday, that the tender for the Keşan-Enez highway, which has been unresolved for years and which was made a while ago by Edirne Governorship and AK Party Edirne Deputy Fatma Aksal, was approved. He shared the developments regarding the Keşan-Enez highway, which has been ongoing since 2013, with members of the press and the public.
“The countryside is muscular, Ankara is rusty.”
In Ankara, people from Edirne, in short, people from Thrace, are homeless. Members of the party cannot have a say in the state bureaucracy, which has become a party, and they cannot get their wishes done.
Based on this sentence, for about a quarter of a century; First of all, I would like to inform you about the Keşan-Enez road, which has not been talked about yet, with examples that have not been refuted or made a counter-statement.
The statement "Keşan - Enez road work has started" on the first day of November 2013 was made by the AKP MP.
The work has not started! They did not tell us the truth. We, the people of Enez, are not blind and ungrateful. If the work had been done, we would have expressed our satisfaction.
January 17, 2014, exactly 10 years ago, 3650 days ago..
“Keşan – Enez road will be included in this year's investment program”. Mehmet Müezzinoğlu's statement.. If this statement were true, would the road be in its current state?
January 20, 2015. one year later
Edirne Provincial Coordination Board meeting is being held, attended by Edirne AKP Deputy Müezzinoğlu.
We are experiencing the fact that 5 kilometers of the road was built, the remaining part was postponed and the construction of the road was left to another spring.
In this meeting, Highways 1st Regional Director Yener Expertise is also present.
The rest of the road built with Müezzinoğlu's initiatives, that is, the part that was not built, is in worse condition than the roads of Anatolian villages in Anatolia.
Nothing has changed for 7 years, that is, 2.555 days.
3 APRIL 2017
Rafet Sezen: “Keşan-Enez road was included in the 2017 program. "Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım gave instructions on this issue," he says.
However, the Keşan – Enez road was not included in the 2017 investment program.
In order to save the situation, Rafet Sezen says, "It will be included in the additional investment program" on May 2, 2017.
We did not see it, we are not blind, it was done and we denied it? We are not ungrateful. Parties come into play.
On 19.12.2017, ErdinBircan asks, "What is the completion date of the project?"... No answer.
19 FEBRUARY 2018
Republican People's Party Enez District Organization, municipal council members and provincial general council members are making a statement about the Keşan - Enez road.
Ekrem Demir, the Provincial Chairman of the İYİ Party at the time, made a statement on January 21, 2022.
“You know, this road was going to be included in the program in 2017 and completed in 2021?” he asks.
In 2022, AK Party Provincial Chairman Belgin İba gives the good news that it will be included in the investment program.
We didn't see! We are not blind!
We started the journey and did we deny it? We are not ungrateful!
8 JULY 2021
Fatma Aksal is discussing the Keşan-Enez highway with Minister Karaosmanoğlu. A futile meeting, no concrete results.
Statements aimed at consoling people, putting them to sleep, or getting gas should be given concrete results, not aphakic ones.
27 JULY 2021
Aksal says, "Hopefully, we will get the Keşan - Enez road included in the program." He is fed up and fed up with statements that exploit emotions such as "Hopefully, Mashallah"!..
17 JANUARY 2022
The itinerary in Edirne says "There is no Keşan-Enez road".
Yes, Aksal is telling the truth here, we thank him.
Then...Before the upcoming local elections, the lucky bird landed on Keşan-Enezyol!..
I wonder if it landed?
There is no name of the Keşan – Enez road in the Edirne section of the 2024 investment program. His name is not mentioned.
We learn from the statements of Edirne Governor and Deputy Aksal and AKP Keşan District Chairman that the tender approval for the Keşan - Enez road has been received.
I also say: Share the printout of the written statement regarding the Keşan – Enez road in the 2024 Investment Program published in the Official Gazette of the State. Let's see too.
We are not blind, we see. We are not ungrateful, thank you.
This statement will have the same impact on us, the people of Enez, as the Keşan – Enez road has, as the natural gas in the Black Sea has for the country.
According to the State Procurement Law, can tenders be made for investments that are not in the investment program?
During the AKP period, the State Procurement Law was amended nearly 200 times. Couldn't it be a political maneuver by replacing other road investments in Edirne with the Keşan – Enez road!?
The tender is made. There is a choice.
We are worried that since there is no funding, the tender will be abandoned and used as an election bribe.
It may be reduced to trace allowance status. Like the example in the İpsala – Karpuzlu – Enez road 2024 investment program..
What Is It?
The investment is stopped due to economic conditions. In the investment program, the trace appropriation allocated to projects whose preservation is deemed beneficial is the appropriation of 1.000 TL.
I'm afraid the fate of this tender will be like this.
The statement made by the Governor of Edirne and the AKP MP later in the night should not give us hope or excitement.
At the beginning of my speech, I listed the statements made on the Keşan - Enez road in the last 10 years chronologically.
According to the statements made, if a tender can be made without being in an investment program, it means that the economic practices of the neighborhood grocery store have fallen behind. This is the point the country's administration has reached during the AKP period.
There is a situation that does not suit and contradicts the state tradition before the election. The purpose of this is to gain votes. However, this road, which carries the surplus value of the agricultural products of Southern Edirne, is worse than the village roads in Anatolia. If the Keşan-Enez road, which bears the burden of the Yayla, Danışment, Karaincirli, Vakıf, Büyükevren, Gülçavuş, Sultaniçe, Yenice and Enez coasts and where acrobatics are performed while driving, is built, he will see, not be blind; Not ungrateful, thank you.
Improving and constructing this road, which is actually a State road, has been ignored by this government despite all the promises made.
There are blind spots on the road, it's not us Enez people who are blind!..
Risky areas such as Derbent, Çelebi, Hasköy, Abdurrahim, Gökgür and İncirlidere should be improved.
As a result, we will follow the latest statements on election bribery.
My prediction is that; We will continue to talk about these issues exactly one year later.
Although this road was not included in the 2024 investment program for Edirne during the election period, I think the announcement that the tender stage has been reached and the tender approval has been issued requires questioning rather than raising hopes that the Keşan - Enez highway will be built.
The people of Enez will be pleased if this road, which serves approximately 45 villages and the center of Enez, is built.
But I do not want to think that a new statement has been made by the esteemed Member of Parliament, which has been misleading and disappointing us for years, as in the examples I have just given, but those who made a statement saying "Keşan - Enez road is 18 m wide, a road with double road standards" have been a barley length of road since then. Don't they see that it is not taken?
How can we trust the AKP government and its MPs after 10 years? We want to trust, but we need to see something concrete.
At the end of his statement, Cavit Deniz asked for answers and asked the following questions:
Is the route of the road the same?
On January 17, 2014, the then MP Mehmet Müezzinoğlu said, "Keşan - Enez highway will be included in this year's investment program." says.
If this statement were true, would the road be as it is today?
On April 3, 2017, then Deputy Rafet Sezen said, “Keşan Enez road was included in the 2017 program. Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım gave instructions on this matter.” says.
If this statement were true, would the Keşan – Enez Road be in worse condition than the Anatolian inter-rural roads?
On July 8, 2021, Deputy Fatma Aksal said, “We discussed the Keşan – Enez highway with Minister Karaismailoğlu.” says.
The result is obvious, a huge waste! They met, but what happened?
Aksal made another statement at the end of last week: Tender approval for the Keşan – Enez road has been issued.”
This road does not have a name in the Edirne section of the 2024 investment program. The statement made is obvious.
In this regard, can you show the statement Keşan – Enez Road in the official records of the state?
Has the appropriation allocated to another work related to Edirne in the 2024 investment program been changed for Keşan - Enez Road?
Is it in line with state traditions to hold a tender for a job that is not written in the investment program?
After the election, will this tender become a "trace fund" due to insufficient funds?
I think it is my most natural right, as a native of Enez, to ask the interlocutors to answer these questions on behalf of the people living in the 45 villages receiving service through this route.
