Orhaniye Neighborhood Great Citizens' Meeting; AK Party Deputy Chairman Efkan Ala Efkan Ala, AK Party Bursa Deputies Mustafa Varank and Ayhan Salman, Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Alinur Aktaş, İnegöl Mayor Alper Taban, AK Party Bursa Provincial Chairman Davut Gürkan, MHP Provincial Deputy Chairman Sertaç Yurdacan, AK Party İnegöl District Chairman Mustafa Durmuş and MHP İnegöl District Chairman Uğur Bayram attended. At the rally where hundreds of people from İnegöl filled the square, there was a flood of love towards Metropolitan Mayor Alinur Aktaş and İnegöl Mayor Alper Taban.
People's Alliance cadres, who walked from the square decorated with torches and flags and went to the stage among the enthusiastic crowd, were greeted with applause. Addressing the citizens here, İnegöl Mayor Alper Taban said, “I would like to thank all of you for such a nice welcome. Whenever we came to our Orhaniye Neighborhood, you welcomed us in the best way and embraced us. Now we have a very important choice before us. As you know, I am a brother of yours who has been actively serving for 5 years, and Alinur Aktaş is our President in Bursa. God has granted it, we want to continue on our way for another 5 years. We studied our lesson. We have salt in this soup. As they say, he who has no trace in the field has no face in the harvest. Alhamdulillah, we have our marks in the field and our faces in the harvest. We have never been involved in anything that would cause this beloved nation to bow its head. We had only one concern: to serve. We have implemented many great projects so far. We definitely have shortcomings and flaws. But we want to continue on our way, first with God's permission and then with your prayers and support. "I thank you for the support you have given so far," he said.
“WE WILL PROCEED ON A ROAD LIKE A HIGHWAY ON THE MORNING OF APRIL 1”
Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Alinur Aktaş said, “You gave me this trust 3 times in İnegöl and once in Bursa. Thanks to our elders, especially our President, he deemed me worthy again as the Bursa Metropolitan People's Alliance Candidate. This is a trust. We are responsible and determined to carry this trust. We have experience, we have knowledge. We've had a difficult 1 years. We have passed through a difficult 5 years, including pandemics, earthquakes, floods and fires. Hopefully, there will be no elections for 5-4 years. "If we are lucky, if we continue our way strongly on the evening of March 4,5, we will move forward on a highway-like road on the morning of April 31," he said.
“WE HAVE A LOT MORE WORK TO DO”
Giving the good news of new investments in his speech, Aktaş said, “We slept with Bursa and woke up with Bursa. We slept with İnegöl, we woke up with İnegöl. We made calculations to see if we could fix one more avenue or another street. We have carried out important work regarding infrastructure. We have ongoing work. After the election, we will start quickly and complete them. After that, we will undertake important works in the superstructure. We opened a Youth Center, a Mother's Nest here, we need to open new ones. “We still have a lot of work to do,” he said.
“THIS SQUARE HAS ALWAYS SUPPORTED US”
AK Party Bursa Deputy Ayhan Salman said, “This square has always supported us. Every time we came to this square in Orhaniye District, but for our President and for our Mayors, you embraced us. "May God bless you," he said.
“WE HAVE PROVIDED SERVICE AND WORK POLITICS FOR 22 YEARS”
AK Party Provincial Chairman Davut Gürkan made a short greeting to the crowded citizens. Gürkan said, “For 22 years, we, as the ruling party, have pursued a policy of service and work. We tried to win the hearts of our citizens with our services and works. From now it is happening like this. Our President Alinur Aktaş and our President Alper Taban provided very good services in the service caravan. I thank them very much. We will welcome our President at Gökdere Square on Thursday, March 28. "We expect this enthusiasm there as well," he said.
“WE WILL COME WITH PROJECTS AND INVESTMENTS”
Former Minister of Industry and Technology and AK Party Bursa Deputy Mustafa Varank asked for support from the people of İnegöl and said: “CHP's Chairman came to Bursa, but he could not gather as much crowd as Orhaniye District. They had one mega project, to replace Alinur Aktaş. Now, will the CHP leader give up on Alinur Aktaş from İnegöl just because he wants it? Do you know why these CHP members do not want our İnegöllü Mayor Alinur Aktaş? Why do CHP municipalities always name avenues and streets with names that are at odds with the values of this nation and enemies of the headscarf? We are in Bursa, why aren't Osmangazi, Orhangazi, Emir Sultan's names given to a street or avenue? That's why their mega project is to replace Alinur Aktaş. We know that our brothers from İnegöl will not give way to those who want to cause discord around İnegöl. They are against a President who thinks like you and comes from among you. Their problem is with your values. Those who were with us until yesterday have taken different paths today. When you give them the seat, they say good, but when you give them the seat, they say they don't play. Those who say "I am Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's soldier" when they have a position, immediately turn to other paths when they lose their power. We are behind Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, not until Sunday, but until the grave. We stand behind his cause. Do you know what those who acted with us in the previous election and now have gone different ways want? Their only concern is to make you lose. They have no chance of winning. If you don't get 10 percent of the votes, you don't even have a chance to elect a council member. They didn't set out to win. They set out to make you lose. Politics is done to win. You will win. You will benefit your district, your city, your country, your nation, but what is their problem? How can we make this AK Party, the People's Alliance lose? Don't ignore them. Your vote for x party goes to the Republican People's Party. We will come with projects and investments. As long as you stand behind us.”
“WE WILL CONTINUE WITH OUR BROTHERS COMPATIBLE WITH THE TURKEY CENTURY VISION”
Making the last speech, AK Party Deputy Chairman and Bursa Deputy Efkan Ala said, “We are in a holy night. I congratulate you on the month of Ramadan. We, those who have served in the AK Party since the day it was founded, those who have undertaken duties, those who have supported it, especially our President and his staff, have achieved so much... But when we look back, we have achieved incredible success, from the lifting of the headscarf ban to the opening of Hagia Sophia. When we look ahead, we have so much distance to go. If we try to explain it on this holy night of Ramadan, there will not be enough time. Let's talk about Marmaray, bridges or highways, but I'll skip them. What is our goal? So what is the goal we want to achieve? We want a Turkey that is strong, prosperous, developed and among the 10 most developed countries in the world. We set our target for Türkiye. We will take it there together. This is our goal as the People's Alliance. That's why we defined the second century of the Republic of Turkey as the Türkiye Century. We said that this century will be the Century of Türkiye. What does it mean? We will put Turkey among the 10 most powerful countries in the world. Because we have to. The Balkans are waiting for this, the Caucasus is waiting for this, the Middle East is waiting for this. We have to do this. What will we do then? We will continue on our way with our brothers who are compatible with the vision of the Turkey Century, who believe in it, and who are its staff. "Alper Taban in İnegöl, Alinur Aktaş in Bursa Metropolitan Municipality... We will carry Turkey to its goals," he said.
After the speeches, the People's Alliance staff distributed carnations to the crowd and left the square with great enthusiasm and applause.
