We are especially working on ensuring that freight and passenger transport is carried out by the private sector on the railways. Currently, our friends have almost completed the arrangements. After these efforts, only State Railways will receive rent from companies, ”he said. Minister Lütfi Elvan attended the iftar dinner organized by the municipality in his hometown Karaman. In addition to Minister Elvan, the AK Party Istanbul Deputy Minister of National Education Ömer Dinçer, Karaman Governor Murat Koca, Karaman Mayor Ertuğrul Çalışkan, and about 5 people attended the public fast-breaking in Aktekke City Square.

“A CANDIDATE PRESENTED IN A TRAY”
In his speech, Minister Elvan claimed that the presidential candidate Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu, shown by the CHP and MHP, was 'a candidate presented in a tray'. Elvan said:
"Came to Turkey after 30 years, we have stayed in Turkey for a while and then worked in various organizations. A candidate presented on a tray. It is not a candidate out of the public. CHP and MHP still think they are in times of revolution. ” Minister Elvan then went to Karaman Castle and visited the shopkeepers. Here, Minister Elvan, who was given a pocket of the Holy Quran, accepted this gift after kissing 3 times. Later, Minister Elvan, who attended the press conference in Karaman Police House, answered the questions of journalists here. Minister Elvan said the following about the question about Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu:

“If the CHP is to nominate a presidential candidate, it can nominate someone from its own party, well known by the well-known society. MHP is like that. He could be nominated from within the familiar to the one he loved Turkey. But they did not prefer these. Someone prepared it, cooked it and presented it in front of them; He said, "Your candidate is Ekmelettin İhsanoğlu." Now I'm asking the same question again. I wonder if the CHP leader had a collaboration with Mr. Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu before the Presidential elections? They got together sohbet Did they know, did they know each other? How much do they know each other. I ask the same question for the MHP Chairman. If so, explain it; Let them say, 'We have known these friends and candidates from the past. I think they don't know. So they don't even know their own candidates. The candidate cannot be nominated based on his resume, the public should be able to recognize it. Who knows when we ask the citizen now? "

OPERATIONS IN SAFETY
Minister Elvan, on the question about the operation against the police, you can not create a different structure within the state structure, hierarchical, law, legal order, that anyone who commits a crime will account for it. You have to comply with the order of the state. If someone made illegal wiretaps, you watched a large number of illegal wiretaps from the screens between December 17th and March 30th. Assembled, illegal sound recordings etc. We cannot accept them. Everything should be legal, ”he said.

RAILWAYS CUSTOMIZED
Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications Minister Lütfi Elvan explained that TCDD will now be removed from the state monopoly and that they are working to ensure that freight and passenger transportation is carried out by the private sector on the railways. Minister Elvan gave the following information:
“At the moment, our friends have almost completed the arrangements. After these efforts, only State Railways will receive rent from companies. For example, any company that wants to transport freight will be able to do this. State Railways will also receive infrastructure rent, as its infrastructure is its own. It is a very comprehensive area. I hope to open these studies to our businesses in 2015. Especially businesses that bear cargo transportation. Investors want the railways to be liberated and lyrebalized in freight transportation. There are very high demands in this direction. ”

“WE MEET HACI BAYRAM VELİ WITH EYÜP SULTAN”
Explaining about the start of High Speed ​​Train (YHT) flights between Ankara and Istanbul and the free flights to be made during the feast, Minister Elvan said that they will organize an average of 5 flights, 6 arrivals and 6 departures per day.
“The first week will be free. I received information from our General Directorate. He said it was a very serious congestion. a mega project that really significance for Turkey. Because of Turkey's largest city it was two of our most important high-speed train line linking. It will enable our citizens to travel between Ankara and Istanbul much more comfortably and quickly. With this project, we are bringing Hacı Bayram Veli with Eyüp Sultan. ”

“WE ARE MEASURED AGAINST SABOTAGES”
Minister Elvan noted that they had to be careful and cautious when asked if there were any sabotage for YHT expeditions, and there were people who were uncomfortable with the Ankara Istanbul YHT line. You can see this in some newspapers. A very important opening is taking place. As if that opening didn't matter at all, only the headlines were thrown, 'The high speed train failed the first time'. We stayed there for a maximum of 12-15 minutes that day. But he was raised to 15 minutes by someone for 45 minutes. These are purposeful news. I understand them too. But our people see what we do. Our interlocutor is our people. As long as they support, we will continue to work day and night. ”

Elven, that Turkey has started to make its national high-speed rail, they finished the design, highlighting the detail work is done, "Here, our Ministry, TÜBİTAK and Istanbul Technical University are working together. Hopefully we will produce our high speed train in Eskişehir. But before we produce it, we need the high-speed train again. Because it will take some time to produce. We will make a tender about it in the coming periods. She'll also want to tender 51 percent in Turkey, including the establishment of the plant material from products produced in Turkey. To the company that wants to sell high-speed trains, 'You will come. You're gonna set up the plant in Turkey. We will say that 51 percent will be domestic products. While we are doing this, I hope that we will also start the production of our High Speed ​​Train ”.
