We will receive support from the Minister of Treasury and Finance in the costs related to the irrigation canal and hopefully we will make the whole Barak Plain here completely irrigable. We will increase the yield, our farmers will earn more, our country will earn more.” he said.
WE WILL CONTINUE SUPPORT
Noting that they will continue to support the producers, Varank said, “Hopefully, we will completely eliminate the electricity costs here with the power plant we will establish, and we will make this place irrigable with irrigation channels. We will give the energy, you will give the harvest and I hope we will develop these places much faster. How can we do these things? We are able to do these things because our citizens and fellow countrymen have stood behind us for 20 years. For 20 years, we have been able to invest in whatever infrastructure Turkey needs because our valuable compatriots stand behind us. Yes, we will give the energy, but we need the energy that you will give us in the 2023 elections. We believe that our fellow citizens from Nizip will give us that energy at the turn of 2023.” he said.
ECONOMY GROWED 3.5 TIMES
Stating that they made a great revolution in this country in 20 years, he said, “We have grown the Turkish economy 3,5 times and increased the national income.

Emphasizing the importance of irrigation in agriculture, Gül said, “There is 101 thousand decares of land here, but not all of this land was irrigated due to energy prices.
