Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) President Ekrem İmamoğlu, answered journalist İsmail Küçükkaya's questions about the current agenda in the "Alarm Clock" program broadcast live on Fox TV. One of the questions Küçükkaya posed to İmamoğlu was the disappearance of 99 horses donated by İBB to the Dörtyol Municipality of Hatay. Reminding that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also made statements on the subject, Küçükkaya asked İmamoğlu's evaluation on the subject.
"I want to tell one by one"
Starting to answer the question with the words "I want to tell one by one", İmamoğlu said in summary:
“We found a solution to the phaeton issue. We solved the problem in 25 months in the area where people who have been working for 6 years in the Islands were not interested. Did we solve it alone? No. First of all, the Governorship is also within the Ministry of Agriculture. Most of the powers are in them. A research commission was established in 2019. There are 945 horses officially. There are 750 unregistered horses. There is data in the hands of the Ministry. The existence of a total of 1695 horses is mentioned. After we took office, a great campaign was started about horses, the beginning of the glanders disease was spoken, saying 'The horse is dying'. We were faced with bitter images. We stepped in with the governorship. On January 16, 2020, with the decision of the Parliament, we bought 4 horses by paying 1179 thousand liras for each. "
"What happened to 516 horses"
“Remember; It was called the phaeton mafia. Several people were killed a year. Forensic cases were happening. We have allocated a budget of 150 million lira, assuming the entire financial burden. We gave 300 thousand liras to the carriages. We managed the process in a humane way. The number of horses taken when we stepped in was 1179. Previously, the number of horses was 1695. The difference is 516. What happened to 516 horses? Do we have the plague of his disappearance? During the period when the soul was destroyed, did we hear any sounds? We adopted 860 horses. We did it together. We received applications from institutions. We have embraced the municipalities, institutions and organizations and NGOs that applied to us. We cooperated with the Ministry of Agriculture. The chip is installed. Ministry of Agriculture installed it. We undertook the shipment. The chip is monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture. Mr. President asks; 'Where are those horses?' Minister of Agriculture; come out and explain. Witness every moment. If there are missing horses, they will find the Department of Agriculture. This is what happened in Dörtyol. It was chip. The one to follow is the Agriculture Directorate of that province. "
"We solved the problem that you could not solve"
“You ruled for 25 years. We solved the problem that you could not solve. Horses were dying of neglect. 400 horses a year. Now like this. Very clear. Instead of starting an investigation because he walked with his hands behind him, if you open an investigation about it. I instructed, 'Put it all into the report'. I started an investigation. If you are so curious, get out and ask a question. 400 horses died a year. After taking it over, the horses died. It's not fake news. The bill of 25 years. "
