Speaking at the opening, Selçuklu Mayor Ahmet Pekyatırcı mentioned that one of the biggest needs of the region is social facilities and said, “We had a serious problem in terms of social facilities in such a densely populated region. This building will provide very important services to our youth in terms of education and will make a very important contribution to all our citizens living in the region, whether in the field of sports or social facilities. "I would like to thank our Metropolitan Municipality Mayor for bringing this investment to our Selçuklu district and city," he said.
AK Party Konya Provincial Chairman Hasan Angı expressed his hope that the facility they opened would lead to the training of new Fuat Sezgins, worthy of its name, and said, “This is municipality, friends. Both our Metropolitan Municipality Mayor and our district mayors are making efforts for the revival of our generations while developing the city. They make touches and create works in every field to try to make the lives of the people living in this city easier. That's why we are always proud to be from Konya. "We really thank our esteemed Metropolitan Mayors," he said.
“WE ARE OPENING TWO IMPORTANT FACILITIES TODAY”
Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay started his speech by saying "May God have mercy on the martyrs and good healthy lives to the veterans on the occasion of 18 March Martyrs' Memorial Day and the 109th anniversary of the Çanakkale Naval Victory."
Noting that they opened two important facilities, the third phase of Şefik Can Park and the Fuat Sezgin Youth and Sports Center, Mayor Altay said that the names were not chosen randomly; Reminding that Şefik Can was an important thinker who devoted his life to Mevlana, and that Fuat Sezgin was a scientist who managed to speak 27 languages, he advised young people to read his life story.
“WE ARE BRINGING AN IMPORTANT PARK AREA TO KONYA THAT WILL SERVE OUR CITY”
Emphasizing that Şefik Can Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the city and drawing attention to the development of Şefik Can Street in the 15-year period, Mayor Altay continued as follows:
“The first and second stages of our Şefik Can Park were completed, and today we are completing the third stage. It has almost become an urban forest with Şefik Can Kafem, walking paths, basketball court, tennis courts, playgrounds and thousands of plants. Hopefully, as the trees grow over the years, we will provide Konya with an important park area that will serve our city. This is one of the most used parks in the region. Our citizens use it very intensively, especially in the summer months. Thus, I hope that Şefik Can Park, of which we have completed all stages, will be beneficial to our city.”
“I HOPE OUR FACILITIES WILL BE BENEFICIAL”
Regarding the Fuat Sezgin Youth and Sports Center, Mayor Altay said, “As the second job, we are opening this building. This used to be a police station building. First, it was allocated to our Metropolitan Municipality. Then, after working on the function, it was decided to do two important things here. Firstly, within the scope of Sports Konya, a facility that will serve our citizens in the neighborhood, with swimming pools for men and women and gyms; On the second, third and fourth floors, we present one of the most distinguished buildings of our High School Civilization Academy to your service. We also have a Bilgehane right behind us. Thus, we are bringing two important facilities to our city that will serve all of our secondary and high school students in this region. While our student friends have the opportunity to study here, we also make efforts to participate in cultural and artistic activities and ensure that future artists and cultural people leave our city. I would like to thank all my friends who contributed. "I hope our facilities will be beneficial," he said.
“KONYA IS THE CITY WITH THE HIGHEST CO-WORKING CULTURE”
Underlining that they are striving to achieve whatever Konya needs, Mayor Altay said: “What we call Real Municipalism is an understanding of municipalism that does not consist of social media and advertising, but physically serves every region of the city. In addition, Konya is the city with the highest culture of working together. Our district municipality, Metropolitan Municipality, organizations, central government, and members of parliament are all trying to solve the problems of our city. Hopefully, we will continue to work with the same determination and determination with the license we received after the evening of March 31. We say 'One more step for a strong Konya'. Konya has more work to do. Our energy and motivation are also very high. Hopefully, we will complete the remaining works quickly and make Konya one of the most beautiful cities not only in Turkey but in the world.”
“WE WILL BUILD TURKEY WITH WELL TRAINED YOUTH WHO DEAL WITH ART AND CULTURE AND EDUCATE THEMSELVES WITH SCIENCE”
President Altay also thanked the education staff and said, “They contribute to the educational life of our students in a generous way. Our Sports Konya coaches strive for the healthy life of people in the city. I would like to thank our valued student friends for trusting our Metropolitan Municipality and using these facilities in the most efficient way. I wish you success in your education life. But education life is not just about lessons, I recommend you to participate in our activities on culture and arts. Because we will build Turkey with well-educated young people who deal with art and culture and educate themselves with science. We will be a strong city in the Turkey Century, we will have strong educated human beings, so that the oppressed and victimized all over the world can benefit. sözcüWe need to become a force that will eliminate these problems and their grievances. He concluded his speech by saying, "Every activity we do for our young people, who are the guarantee of our future, is a source of great pride for us."
“OUR CHILDREN WILL DEVELOP THEMSELVES WITH SUCH MODEL EDUCATION PRACTICES”
AK Party Konya Deputy Latif Selvi emphasized that education has now become lifelong and said, “In other words, there is no such thing as receiving education for a certain period of time and then it ends. It is planned from birth to death. For this reason, old practices are now being developed and planned for life in education practices. In this regard, the name of a general directorate of our Ministry of National Education is the General Directorate of Lifelong Learning. The aim here is this: In addition to the education they receive within the framework of formal education, our children will improve themselves and raise the bar of success with such model education practices. This is what our school, created within the framework of the High School Civilization Academy, also offers this service. At the same time, it is presented in a different dimension with the opportunities it provides for sports activities. "I thank everyone who contributed," he said.
Following the speeches, Şefik Can Park 3rd Stage and Fuat Sezgin Youth and Sports Center were opened with prayers.
