"MALATYA WILL BE CONNECTED TO ISKENDERUN PORT BY HIGH SPEED TRAIN"
Speaking at the meeting, Minister Tüfenkci stated that Malatya should be connected to important ports for the growth of its economy and said, “Malatya is not a city close to ports, for this we need to connect Malatya to important ports. At this point, we need to implement the fast sweat line between Iskenderun and Mersin ports. We had a preliminary meeting with our Ministry of Transport about this. Hopefully, if we can get the project tender in the coming days, it will be a very important achievement for Malatya. This will enable us to bring some raw materials to Malatya cheaper and to deliver what we produce in Malatya to the markets quickly. I hope we will do bigger studies about this in the upcoming period, ”he said.
"OUR VALUABLE GOODS PRODUCTION IS OUR PRIORITY GOAL"
Stating that they are trying to support businessmen for the development of the economy as the ministry, Minister Tüfenkci said, “Our duty is to support you so that you can produce more, earn more and thus contribute more to the welfare of the country. Our goal is to increase the competitiveness of the private sector both in Malatya and in our country. For this, first of all, we want to make our country the production and technology base of Eurasia. We wish the manufacturing industry to be the main sector that drives economic growth in an outward-looking structure. In order to reduce the dependence of production and exports on imports, we will also continue to increase the domestic production capacity of intermediate and investment goods. In this framework, the production of high value-added goods that will increase the competitiveness of the economy is among our priority targets ”.
"WE NEED TO TAKE UNEMPLOYMENT DOWN IN MALATYA"
Touching on the unemployment problem in Malatya, Tüfenkci said, “Many of our employer friends in Malatya have difficulties in finding qualified and qualified workers. During my Provincial Presidency, we directed many of our friends who were looking for a job to the organized industry, but we could not send anyone to the organized industrial zone. People preferred to be cleaners in public institutions to work in an organization. Therefore, in Malatya, there is not unemployment but a problem of disliking the job, but when we look at the statistics, Malatya is a city with a high average unemployment. We need to work on this and reduce unemployment in Malatya ”.
"MALATYA HAS COME TO A LOCATION WHERE EASTERN PARIS CAN BE TRIED"
MUSIAD Malatya Branch President Mehmet Balin expressed his expectations and demands to increase Malatya's exports and said, “After Malatya became a metropolitan city, it became a very beautiful and livable city. It has reached a position that can be called the Paris of the East, but Malatya has one shortcoming. That is, Malatya has no money and there are many unemployed people. From this point you have a lot of our expectations with respect to both related and Malatya, Turkey. The final preparations are about to complete us in our 3rd Organized Industrial Zone (OIZ). If we can bring business people to an area of ​​12 million square meters there, we can reduce the unemployment rate in Malatya by half. For this, we fulfill all kinds of duties on our part, and we expect support from you in this regard, ”he said.
Reminding that the expropriation problem in the 3rd OIZ has been solved, Balin said, “3. Another problem in OIZ is the expenses related to the treatment plant. If you support the construction of the treatment plant with appropriate funds, there will be little things left and we can give the entrepreneurs coming to Malatya for a square meter of our parcels in the 3rd OIZ for 3-4 dollars. This increases the courage of people who will invest in Malatya. Because when the land is free, businessmen do not care about other problems and invest here ”.
