Günay Özdemir Fast train will increase the importance of Edirne

Günay Özdemir High speed train will increase the importance of Edirne: Edirne Governor Günay Özdemir said, “The importance of Edirne will be revealed with the opening of Marmaray and Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, which will be opened tomorrow beyond.”
Press answering questions from members of the Governor Özdemir, "Turkey and our region is becoming very serious development. Especially with the opening of Marmaray on this transportation and the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge that will be opened tomorrow beyond that, the importance of Edirne will become more evident. Because Edirne is a city where civilizations and trade centers were established on the Silk Road, which is known as the old Silk Road, from Beijing to London. As of years, Edirne has lost its qualification of being a center of civilization a bit recently. After the opening of this railway and bridge, Kapıkule Border Gate will become much more important. ”
Özdemir said, “As the governor, we need to engage in serious work in this regard as the governors, local administrations, non-governmental organizations and the people of Edirne. Because, although we are currently a border province with the highest number of roads in the world and a customs gate with a capacity of around 3 million passengers in number, we cannot benefit very much from this. In terms of publicity, we can not make much use of this issue. We have to do this in a way with all the people of Edirne. ”
