Ozdemir stated that the night and such short periods could not be done efficiently and therefore the signaling system could not be completed. Özdemir conveyed that both the high-speed train and the tools for signaling in Başkentray were not completed, but the road was not completed. The signaling system is not finished. Ozdemir criticized the start of the train service while there was a new disaster, he said it was dangerous to start the voyages before the signalization system was completed. Özdemir noted that the departure point of the train was made manually from Ankara and coordinated the voyages by giving instructions to the officer from the control center by radio conversations. The signaling system does not allow two trains to move on the same line. However, the flights started in the same way. There is a serious life safety, pure attention needs to be taken, C he said.
