In addition to Chairman Efdal Özkartal, disabled citizens and their families attended.
Speaking on behalf of philanthropist Murat Aydın at the ceremony, Sertaç Aydın said, “While carrying out this charity, we managed to be a bridge between the receiving hand and the giving hand. With the support of our esteemed president, we delivered the vehicles donated by our philanthropist Murat Aydın to our president and ensured that they reached those in need. We held the second one this year. "We want to do this every year, if God allows." said.
“OUR WORKSHOP WAS A FIRST”
Talas Mayor Mustafa Yalçın stated that it was both an emotional and joyful day and said, “4 years ago, we identified an issue that our brothers and sisters who drive disabled vehicles, especially those who use what we call battery-powered vehicles, were very victimized by. This vehicle may eventually malfunction at some point. Even the most luxurious vehicles can malfunction. However, his driver can get into a taxi and go to his destination, but my disabled brother stays where he is. Especially ladies. This is a deficiency. There is no one doing repairs in Kayseri. There was only one private sector, and that brother of ours was not going to the scene. We transformed a part of our workshop. We said, 'This is a repair place for battery powered vehicles used by disabled people.' We hired 2 masters here. We also provided a commercial vehicle. Our commercial vehicle was assigned only for this job. Now my disabled brother, whose car broke down, is calling. Our team leaves immediately. If repairs are made there, they are done. If not, he buys my disabled brother's car and takes his own too. He brings himself to his home and the vehicle to the workshop and does it. After doing this, he reunites our disabled brother with the vehicle. “This was a first in Kayseri and it was a very good service.” he said.
“WE DELIVERY 59 DISABLED VEHICLES”
Mayor Yalçın stated that they were happy to host the vehicle delivery and said, “They delivered 29 manual and 30 battery-powered vehicles to us here today to deliver them to those in need, but they will deliver them to you in our person and under our hosting. We are very happy to host this. We shared the joy of our brothers by working to increase this beauty.” he said.
“NOT IN KAYSERİ, NOT ONLY IN TURKEY”
Talas District Governor Yaşar Dönmez explained that everyone is a candidate with a disability and said, “In my opinion, our President said something incomplete in his speech. It is not the first and only in Kayseri, but the only one in Turkey. I have never heard of any municipality in our country having such a practice. The workshop for disabled vehicles established within our municipality is an example for Turkey.” he said.
“OUR PRESIDENT MUSTAFA YALÇIN MADE FIRSTS”
AK Party Kayseri Deputy Mr. Bayar Özsoy emphasized that the work done by Talas Municipality regarding the disabled should be an example for Turkey and said, “We accompanied such beauty in our Bünyan yesterday. In Bünyan, our charitable brothers brought 30 disabled vehicles for our disabled brothers. We attended their distribution ceremony. Today we are in Talas. Our president Mustafa Yalçın broke many firsts in Kayseri. Our metropolitan and district municipalities in Kayseri are working very hard to provide a more comfortable life for our disabled brothers and sisters. Barrier-Free Life Centers were opened. There are many activities there. I hope this will set an example for all of Turkey.” he said.
Following the speeches, plaques were given to the philanthropists by the protocol, and vehicles were delivered to disabled citizens.
