you indispensable
Tezcan Karakuş Candan, Head of the Ankara Branch of the Chamber of Architects, said, “With the change of the main status, the management structure also changes. TCDD's assets are faced with processes such as selling and leasing. The state withdraws from all these processes and assumes a structure like controls. TCDD is fully incorporated. Managing the country like a company is the general structure of the government. The last hole of the zurna is TCDD. There were 64 in the government program. 65. As soon as the government came, TCDD changed its main status. Today, Ankara Station, especially Haydarpaşa, and TCDD buildings and stations in all provinces are under threat. Let it be abandoned, if the society does not react to this, it means that you have cut the aortic vein that carries blood to the heart of a country ”.
Purpose article shows what will happen to TCDD
Candan gave the following information about changing the main status:
“The main status of TCDD was published in the Official Gazette on the change of the main status of TCDD from the State Railways on Friday, June 4, regarding how all these processes have developed. The main status includes the regulation of the structure formed under the name of the General Directorate of TCDD, its organizational structure, its subsidiary companies and affiliates, and the provisions regarding the liquidation, audit, financial and personnel of the relationship between them and all property related issues. Only by reading the object of Article going to happen to TCDD, yht'n the presence of the Celal Bayar Boulevard we live in trees after massacre in Ankara Station's threatening something the railways had spread all across Turkey, land, how to plunder the building, transportation How Privatizing corporatized will and would be liquidated is showing.
You're giving up our independence
Calling on the government to abandon this practice, Candan said:
“TCDD has incredible land assets and assets. Both the station buildings and each land that the railway passes through is an important asset of TCDD and a guarantor of national independence. TCDD is the most important transportation network during the war period during the disaster period. If you give up this, you have given up your independence. If you corporatize and privatize it, it will become the railways of companies that have money, which will go to bad points in the processes of our future independence and dependency. What does it mean to liquidate. Regardless of the understanding that liquidates TCDD, it will be liquidated. Because rail transport is one of the main lifebloods of this country. Railways are the most important national values ​​in all countries. "
We filed a criminal complaint for the massacred trees on Celal Bayar Boulevard
Mentioning the massacre of the trees on Celal Bayar Boulevard for YHT, Candan continued his words as follows:
“Right behind the TCDD Station building, technology is developing, a High Speed ​​Train Station structure was built to facilitate transportation, and the lawsuits filed by the Chamber of Architects Ankara Branch and the professional chamber resulted against us, but this process increased in itself and was directed towards certain stations, Etimesgut and other slipped to the point. While the activation of the YHT station was on the agenda, the trees on the Celal Bayar Boulevard located in front of the YHT station building were cut one by one. Nearly 150 trees were killed. Each of them was over 60 years old, and YHT was cut on the eve of Gezi with the approach of making neoliberalism's urbanization and spatial processes look better technologically. As the Ankara Branch of the Chamber of Architects, we filed a criminal complaint about this.
Integrative struggle to be executed
Reminding that, as the Ankara Branch of the Chamber of Architects, they started a project of witnessing architecture in the public service in 2003, Candan said, “In this context, we predicted that the liquidation process in the public sector will go to another dimension and we worked on the formation of the Turkish Republic and the building inventory. The first of these was the liquidation process of the bank of provinces, which was discussed at that time. Turkey was not the only example in the world. Our first study was the bank of provinces under threat, and then the village services were the only archives we can access today regarding village services because they sent most of the village services archives to SEKA. The room is gone. Our third study was TCDD. We have a lot of archives from the work we did at that time. All of these should be taken under total protection. TCDD to convert to an integrative policies on combating and eliminating surplus land across Turkey must carry out joint studies, subjects had to be one of the main agenda of the Chamber of Architects, "he said.
TCDD lands are taken to capital
Gökhan Yıldırım, the Ankara Branch Secretary of the Chamber of Architects, expressed his reaction as follows:
“In addition to health and accommodation, transportation is a service that the state should offer to its people. Privatization of this service means that the country is going to another dimension. We could feel the TCDD privatization process from the beginning. Unsuccessful plans were made by the state in terms of transportation such as metro. On the other hand, transportation vehicles such as YHT, which serve the income, have also been on the agenda. There are YHT maintenance and repair facilities built on the continuation of the Sugar Factory land in Etimesgut, as well as a large mixed-function station building built in the Gar area. With these, we have seen how this will serve over time. YHT was an unplanned project from the beginning, it was a project on bird migration routes, which resulted in the slaughter of thousands of birds with each train passing. We see that this purpose of renting is not enough, and somehow privatized and trying to attract all TCDD's land to the capital. This is a terrible thing. We will continue to say that transportation is a fundamental right and it should be tried to be provided by the state. "
