Kılıçdaroğlu said:
“THEY CLEARLY COME OUT AND SAID THAT THEY TREATED THE CITY”
- A city that has had three capital cities, a metropolitan municipality is not an ordinary event. This is at the same time this is so despised. Istanbul has a dagger on its back, and we have a metropolitan municipality working with great devotion and self-sacrifice for that dagger. Therefore, I sincerely thank our mayor for donating the budget. For the Istanbulites and equipping such a beautiful piece of work again.
“IF YOU DEFINE ANCIENT CULTURE AS ‘POT, POSTER’, IT MEANS YOU DON’T KNOW THE VALUE OF THE CITY”
- An Istanbul that was the capital of three great empires, ancient Istanbul. Wherever you dig, an Istanbul bursting with history. From stone, talent, fountain to palace, cistern; We are the death of a necessary cultural pattern of productions for the future, to look after, repair and live in the living spaces, from mosques, churches to synagogues.
- What upsets me is that the person who ruled the Republic of Turkey, which has this and different cultures, defined historical artifacts unearthed from an excavation as ‘pots and pots’. If it’s you, if you describe your ancient culture as ‘pottery’, then you don’t matter to you. You don’t know what you are about in an urban city of eight thousand. The silhouette of the city, as much as its greenery, as much as you benefit; It is also of great importance that these schools are passed on to future generations. Therefore, making these repairs is something that we should take care of in itself. He does this too, our mayor of the metropolitan…
“It should be our common duty to keep this city alive and to fix the deteriorated fabric of the city”
- Mr. President expressed your invitation to a certain struggle. It is not a choice, we, the people who think about attacking the ancient city of Istanbul, are admired by those daggers. You take out the dagger, you try to keep an ancient culture alive.
- Keeping Istanbul alive is very important and valuable not only for the people of Istanbul but also for the world. Istanbul is actually a general world city. To keep this city alive, to fix a cityan point; must be well-intentioned. Our mayor, who signed a sign to attack the players assigned this task.
