Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Tahir Büyükakın attended the Hızır Fasting program at Hacıbektaş Veli Anatolian Culture Foundation Derince Branch Cemevi.
“I WORKED WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION”
Speaking at the program, Mayor Büyükakın said, "I am the elected president of this city. Until this moment, I worked without discrimination, regardless of nationality and belief. Because I am everyone's mayor. I act with this understanding. "I would like to express to you that we will follow the same path from now on," he said.
“LET'S PREPARE THE CITY FOR EARTHQUAKE”
Emphasizing that the main thing is to serve, Mayor Büyükakın said, “In fact, it is Prophet Muhammad who sheds light on your path. The light of our Prophet and his family. Hz. Ali, Hz. Hussein, Hz. Hasan, Hz. The light of Fatima. Their light is the light of all of us. Let's not forget that the real issue is brotherhood and love. We need to walk together for the women, men, children, youth, elderly and disabled people of the city. There is a possible earthquake danger. We scanned the buildings of this city before the earthquake of August 17, 1999. The issue of this country is to prepare for an earthquake. I will explain how this transformation should happen in peace and consent. Our building should no longer collapse when there is an earthquake. We must prepare for this now. We must be together for this. That's why let's all join hands and prepare this city for an earthquake. Let's prepare our children for the future. Let's build a city and a country together, where the weather is not bad, where the environment is livable, where there is peace and tranquility, where everyone can live their faith as they wish. "May God accept your fasts on this occasion," he said.
