Mayor Er: We Will Restore Malatya

Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Sami Er as well as Yeşilyurt Mayor Prof. attended the examination program held in Malatya's Yeşilyurt District. Dr. İlhan Geçit, Deputy Secretary General of the Metropolitan Municipality Nurhan Demir, Provincial Director of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Cengiz Başer, SpArchitects company representative Sabri Paşayiğit, Prof. Dr. Can Şakir Binan, Metropolitan Municipality Planning and Urbanization Department technical team attended.

Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Sami Er pointed out that the works within the scope of the reconstruction and construction of Malatya, which was seriously injured by the February 6 earthquakes, were carried out quickly by our Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, the relevant General Directorates and local governments, and said that the reconstruction of the center was carried out especially in the market center. He said that the works are continuing by Emlak Konut and hopefully the works will be completed within a year.

Pointing out that there are 69 thousand eligible citizens in Malatya, Er said, “19 thousand of these beneficiaries are carried out by the General Directorate of Construction Affairs of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, and the construction of 50 thousand houses in the center is carried out by TOKİ. There are also residences built by creating a reserve area in the center. More careful work needs to be carried out, especially since there are registered buildings in settlements such as Yeşilyurt and Gündüzbey, which have an ancient history. Related to this, our contractor company officials and our university professors are working on this. We examined the projects to be done together. Conservation development plans will be made to protect registered buildings. Planning is being done without disturbing the historical texture, cultural and natural structure of these areas. We will rebuild it in accordance with the original within the framework of the plans to be made.
We examined the work to be done in this area together with our Yeşilyurt Mayor and the contractor company officials. May it be good for our Malatya. "Hopefully, we will bring Malatya back to its feet together," he said.
