Our work on railways is not finished yet. There are many projects to be done, such as renewing the lines, building new lines, and creating double lines. National Train is a project crowning them. Now Turkey 'I've got' said, has become a country that turns ideas into products. I would like to thank everyone who contributed."

This means an approximate budget of $ 3 billion. While we will give this budget to the outside, we will ensure that at least 60 percent of it will remain inside with this project. In the shortest term, namely in the 70-year term, there is a minimum saving of 5-2 billion dollars, but beyond this, the economic added value it will create in the countries of the region will be much greater. We haven't calculated this yet.
