The monopoly building was previously owned by the Privatization Administration. Of course, it was the property of Sümer Holding. This holding also handed over privatization for the sale of this place. He was taken back from the Privatization Administration and returned to the Ministry of Treasury and Finance. Written to the Presidency. We are waiting for the decree. After this letter is published, the allocation of the place will be made to the Van Investment Monitoring and Coordination Directorate, not to the municipality.

The tender of this place was held as of yesterday. The tender finalization process also continues. From the left side of the pier, the railway becomes zero with the lake. So there is no space for walking here. The rails on the right side are laid, and after the rails on the left side are laid, we will not have a chance to park here, "he said.
Underlining that there is no chance of building a park at the current pier, but if there is no legal obstacle in the same area, Governor Bilmez continued his words as follows:
“We want the Iranian railway to become developed and usable. We hope that Van will be a center of attraction with this modernization and will make a significant contribution to our city, just as Kars railway became a center of attraction. This project is a project in favor of our city, our region and our economy. In return, a larger park has already been built and has been offered to Van. We consider the demand of our citizens for the construction of a new park on the beach again. We are starting our work on this issue. If we cannot afford it with a legal obstacle, we will open it to the service of our citizens by making new filling. ”
