FSM Bridge Work

In this sense, we have done a very important work and we wanted to end this work in the summer period before the Eid al-Adha. Istanbulites also experienced this with us. If we did such a study at FSM simultaneously with these studies, then they would rightly say that; 'Would there be two studies?' Since we cannot have two studies at once, we did the big work on the summer vacation, we are doing the smaller one now. ” he spoke.

The vehicle needs to stay in service for three days when it is time for maintenance. You do not have the luxury of saying 'I will not take the vehicle to the service'.

“The conversation continues on the basis of the subject. The ultimate decision is important for us in the framework of the interview. If legislation is required due to the suspension of the regulation, we are working on it. Now, our lawyer friends are working hard on this issue. Because we said 'you won' to 750 people, they gave their documents, we have security investigations. Saying 'Sorry' is not a situation that comes to our business. We are doing the necessary work to ensure that these friends are not victims. ”
Pointing out that they received the applications for the recruitment of 2 personnel in the second stage, Arslan said, “This time we invited 500 times more people. There were applications from branches that should not apply when inviting these people. We have done necessary studies with ÖSYM about it. While the friends to be invited to interview were in the stage of disclosure, we stopped that process due to the decision of the Council of State. ” said.
Arslan underlined that the winners of the first stage and the ones who were called for the interview in the second stage are aiming not to be the victims.
Stating that they do not find it wrong to say the opposite to those declared as a ministry, Arslan said, “The Council of State has decided to stop the execution within the framework of a decision that our regulation coincides with another regulation.

We want our people not to be victims. ” he spoke.
