Minister Kasapoğlu, in his speech at the opening ceremony of Atakent Birol Hayal Swimming Pool in Ümraniye, stated that they have equipped Ümraniye, Istanbul and every part of Turkey with facilities and pools, and said, “We are signing a good cooperation with Ümraniye Municipality, we are bringing together a new work, a project. Ümraniye's energy and dynamism are gaining strength with a new investment. Ümraniye has talented young people. I believe that today's and tomorrow's champions will grow from this pool and these opportunities. Good luck to the people of Umraniye.” He spoke as
Minister Kasapoğlu stated that there are seals and sweat on every inch of Istanbul under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for 20 years, as in every inch of Turkey. Someone said, 'You can't do it'. Thankfully we made it. They tried to cut off the service path. We have come to these days colliding with those mentalities. They still promise to destroy, they are walking with the rhetoric of the negativeness of destroying, but we say to you, 'don't stop, just keep going'. used the phrases.
Noting that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, when he became the mayor of Istanbul in 1994, they witnessed how he raised this city and turned it into a rosestan, Minister Kasapoğlu continued as follows:
“This nation knows very well how this city has met with service, work and production from the smell of garbage, exploding garbage, non-flowing water, broken roads, from those days until today. 20 years process; Embracing Turkey as one of the world's leading countries, under the leadership of our President, from transportation to health, education, infrastructure, urbanism, culture, arts, youth investments, agriculture to sports. Of course, as always, someone tried to express these investments in a different way, to distract them with perceptions. They smashed our investments to the ground. Now they are dealing with our UAVs, our SİHAs. In this process, we have equipped every inch of Turkey with sports facilities, just like in other areas. Turkey now has a strong sports infrastructure, even to the remotest points. We want our children to have access to these opportunities in the easiest way possible. We knit loop by loop. We said that Turkey should be a country of sports. We wanted everyone to be healthy and have access to opportunities. Again, they accused us of another way. How you view this life is very important. When we look at facilities, we do not see buildings. We see people whose eyes sparkle as they learn to swim. We see the champions waving the flags the highest, our National Anthem.”
“More than 5 million people have learned to swim”
Minister Kasapoğlu reminded that they said 'the target is 4 million' for pool facilities 1 years ago. “Thankfully, we achieved that goal. More than 5 million people have learned to swim. We said '3 pools in Ümraniye' 4 years ago. All 3 of them are at the service of this beloved nation. I sincerely congratulate Mayor İsmet Yıldırım for his contributions and fast work.” said.
Minister Kasapoğlu, who said that they always work with a people-oriented approach and that this should be known, said, “Someone is opening a tap in Istanbul, holding a groundbreaking ceremony. But our 3 pools are in Umraniye. We have huge services in every county. We opened Europe's most modern ice rink in Zeytinburnu. We perform each piece of work with strength, faith, effort and synergy. It is not possible for everyone to serve this nation. How grateful we are. From now on, with the same determination, faith and hand in hand, we will continue this road and this epic together in the Turkish Century, one by one.” made its assessment.
“We are performing a perfect installation”
Stating that Turkey has demonstrated strong transformations in every field, and one of them is sports investments, Minister Kasapoğlu said:
“It is known what has happened in terms of reaching a sports facility and accessing sports equipment. At this point, we are performing an excellent facility in order to raise a generation with a claim in each branch. We have thousands of athletes fighting for our future in every inch of the country. In the past, Turkey was a country that had claims in a few branches. Sports branches did not exceed the fingers of one hand. In 2022, our athletes brought this country 51 medals in 6127 branches. This is the result of strong cooperation and faith. We had the strongest Olympics in history in 2020 Tokyo. In 2024, we will experience the most successful new Olympic process together. In the 2022-23 academic year in Istanbul, we encountered a record number of applications for dormitories. We placed every student in our dormitories with a record placement rate. One hundred percent placement in İzmir, Ankara, Adana and Mersin is also a record. It is a record that promises hope for the Turkish Century and makes us excited. Together, we will continue to set new records in this century of sports for this nation and youth.”
