19 Item Tilt from TCDD

19-Point Denial by TCDD: TCDD responded with a file to the news used by Parallel Structure as a smear campaign. TCDD, whose image was damaged with the 25 December Operation, said, “No investigation was opened against a single person from the top management. It was alleged that there was corruption in the tender whose project was not prepared. ”The file prepared in response to the claim contained the following information:“ The company that did not even participate in the tender was shown as 'winner'. It was alleged that the personnel who went voluntarily were sent into exile… ”The General Directorate of State Railways responded to 19 allegations made about the institutions and managers during the 25 December Operation with a file it prepared. The file reveals the perception operation performed by the parallel structure, especially to defame the institution. The most striking title of the file is about General Manager Süleyman Karaman, who was targeted during the 19 December Operation and the news that he was "taken into custody" about him ... it has not been opened ”. In the institution report, “There is no statement. There is no functioning judicial process. It is tried to create a perception in the public as if they were "corrupt."
The report of the State Railways named "Claims and Answers" also refers to the false news leaked to some media outlets by the illegal organization within the state. In this sense, the answer given to the allegation of corruption in the Erzincan-Diyarbakır-Mardin railway tender is remarkable. In the TCDD file, it is stated that no decision was made regarding the project, only feasibility study was carried out. It is pointed out that the line, which has not even an official project yet, has not been tendered.
One point highlighted in the report is the answer given to the claim that the Van Lake Ferry Construction tender was involved in corruption… Railways announced that the winner of the tender process between 2007-2010 was determined by the court. The report said, “TCDD compulsorily applied the court decision. It is still stated that there is corruption in such a tender ”and pointed to the perception operation.
Even a change in the route cost has been used!
Another striking detail in TCDD's report is about the Bursa-Yenişehir High Speed ​​Train Project. According to some media reports, the cost change resulting from the route change in this project was described as "misconduct". However, the report reveals that the change of route does not increase the cost but on the contrary, it decreases it. Among the allegations, it was also included that the Ankara-Sivas Railway Project was paid higher than the offer. This was also denied in the institution report. On the contrary, it has been reported that the contractor firm has been documented with a deduction of 36 percent from the approximate price.
The claim of "irregular tender" to the company, which did not participate in the tender, was also claimed to have made a favor to the company named Simit Sarayı with an unspecified tender. In the report of TCDD, it was emphasized that this company did not even participate in tenders. In the report, “TCDD has 2500 tenants. Tender is launched with the specification. However, some tenders are canceled when only one bidder. This transaction was reflected in the media as an illegal tender to the Simit Palace. There is no simit, there is no palace ”expressions were used.
The staff went voluntarily and said "exile"
One of the unfounded news operations regarding the State Railways is the allegation that personnel were sent from Samsun Port to Izmir Port in the nature of "exile". Moreover, it was alleged that these personnel were involved in corruption. In the railways report, it is emphasized that due to the transfer of the personnel's right to operate the Samsun port, the sending process was made taking into account their own request letters. It is stated that similar transfers are continuing.
They said 'Haydarpaşa Train Station became a disco'
TCDD stated that social and cultural activities are encouraged at the stations and stations and the institution earns money from it. In the report, “Film, TV series, music video shootings, special events of institutions and organizations are subject to a fee according to the hourly tariff. The statement that Haydarpaşa is a disco by using only one photo from the staff dinner of a private organization at the end of the year.
