Effective monitoring will begin in the fight against illegal buildings. Now, the concepts of squattering and illegal construction will be completely out of the agenda of our country and will be history. We bring the obligation of our citizens to get approval from the governorship regarding the structures to be built in the villages. With this arrangement, we will end the crooked construction in our highlands and villages. In addition, by opening the way for reinforcement for buildings that have a Building Registration Certificate, we include our tens of thousands of buildings in the scope of transformation. ”
