President Erdoğan said, “We are going to have a 15 percent discount in electricity in all subscriber groups as of April. We are making a 20 percent discount on the natural gas tariff used by industrialists, which is quite high compared to residential subscriptions," he said.
President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the Parliamentary Group Meeting of his party.
Headlines from Erdogan's statements:
We are pleased to see that our municipalities and NGOs have concentrated their Ramadan-specific programs in the earthquake zone this year. Since the first day of the earthquake, we have been going to our cities and to our people. We are both laying the foundations of permanent residences and meeting with earthquake victims at iftar.
After the Ramadan Feast, provincial visits will begin until the election day. We aim to embrace our citizens while visiting our province at the most in limited time. We will not let the changing agenda, the situation of cities, support works, permanent housing projects be forgotten due to the election process.
DISCOUNT ON ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS
We are going to have a 15 percent discount in electricity in all subscriber groups as of April. Starting from April, we are making a 20 percent discount on the natural gas tariff used by our industrialists, which remains quite high compared to residential subscriptions.”
“WE WILL BUY A THOUSAND NEW MINERS”
We have good news for our miners. Our 11 thousand miners, who also work in the public and private sector, won the hearts of our nation by working in the earthquake zone. We're going to get a thousand new miners.
These are the other steps we will take in other areas: We will experience the excitement of starting the flights on the Ankara-Sivas high-speed train line with our fellow citizens. The man is from Sivas, but he says, "What does a high-speed train need to go to Sivas?" This man is at table 6. It is impossible to understand them.
We will also have good news for security guards. We ensure that the lower limit of the pension is 7500, and our 42 thousand security guards, whose salaries are lower than the practice before the regulation, also benefit. We have increased the retirement holiday bonuses to 2 thousand liras.
We will continue our works and services uninterruptedly even after we emerge victorious from the election with the support of our nation. We took office with the favor of our nation, who entered the 2002 elections alone.
