President Erdoğan: Once we say so, we do it!

Stating that they provide uninterrupted metro transportation between Istanbul Airport and Gayrettepe, President Erdoğan said, “Gayrettepe-Kağıthane Metro, with a total length of 37,5 kilometers, will make the lives of our Istanbul brothers and sisters extremely easier. The daily passenger capacity of our line, which consists of 9 stations and reaches a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, is 600 thousand people. With the commissioning of our line, the distance between Gayrettepe and Istanbul Airport will be reduced to 30 minutes, between Göktürk and Mahmutbey will be 38 minutes, between Tekstilkent and Istanbul Airport will be 45 minutes, between Taksim and Istanbul Airport will be 41 minutes, between Taksim and Göktürk will be 26 minutes, and between 4. Levent and Istanbul Airport will be 35 minutes. It will be down to minutes. With the commissioning of this line, the length of the rail system networks completed in Istanbul increases to 338,5 kilometers. Once we say so, we do it. "We will not leave it hanging," he said.

"We have never divided our municipalities according to their political color at any stage during the more than 21 years of government," Erdoğan said, adding, "We explained what they did during the campaign period, shared our projects, and expressed open-hearted criticism of the opposition. On the day the election ended, we respected the will of the ballot box and continued our services from where we left off." "This situation is also valid for Istanbul," he said.

WE PREVENTED ISTANBUL FROM RAISING THE BANKRUPTCY FLAG

“If Istanbul has not become much worse than its current situation, the biggest reason for this is that we took responsibility.” Erdoğan said, “We prevented the city from going bankrupt by bringing much more services to Istanbul than those within the scope of our government's duty. Do you remember how the part of Kağıthane that connects to the Golden Horn flows like dirt? Young people may not remember, but their mothers and fathers remember it very well. What did we do with all this dirt and the sparkling clean water of the Bosphorus? We linked it here. We connected it to Kağıthane and the Golden Horn. After that, the water here became crystal clear. We did it. Once we say it, we do it. We will do it from now on. We will do it with our 'Murat'. "If you want to achieve your goal, you will take care of Murat," he said.

Making references to the opposition, President Erdoğan said, "Unfortunately, even if the people sitting in the chairman's chair change, their intolerance towards democracy does not change," and added: "Years come and go, but there is no decline in their fascistic codes. "Hopefully, with the strong will that will come out of the ballot box on March 31, this arrogant mentality that is afraid of democracy and fears pluralistic democracy everywhere, especially in Istanbul, will receive the lesson it deserves," he said.
