The main issue of our country is the crisis in the economy and the ever-deepening poverty. That's why I've been saying and implementing it since our election campaign. Our main goal for İzmir is to increase the welfare of our city and to ensure its fair share. I know that it is not possible for us to walk towards this goal without İZFAŞ fairs.

İZFAŞ will continue to expand our city's economy and our country's exports in 2022, bring İzmir together with the world, and be a pride in our country's fair organization.”
