“Today Mecidiyeköy, Fulya Yıldız and Beşiktaş-Kabataş We are on the line that continues through. There are several important elements on this line. One of them; Historical excavation in Beşiktaş. Unfortunately, the time for this cannot be determined. So it's a very delicate job. Really important historical ruins were reached there. And that fine work on this process was intense. The excavation had stopped when we got it. We started the excavation in 2020, like April or May. And really intense excavation work is going on there. Same way KabataşThere is also an excavation work in . It's a lighter process over there. In other words, the ruins are not at the same depth as in Beşiktaş. It also does not have the same historical background. Our guess is that the excavations there will be finished in 4-5 months. Here, we will train Fulya and Yıldız by the end of this year and send these lines to and from Mecidiyeköy with the connection method, in a way, to both Fulya and Yıldız 7-8, our citizen coming from Mecidiyeköy-Mahmutbey. We will deliver it with a minute transfer. Unfortunately, the opening date of our station there cannot be determined now, as the excavation in Beşiktaş is uncertain. But KabataşWe're going to move faster. Therefore KabataşWe also want to prepare Turkey for 2024.”

As a result of these project discussions, a project was made first. There was a great response to this. Then another project was done. It was also not in a size that could meet the need for a transfer center. Then we, KabataşWe worked on a project. A long study was carried out there. We have created a project that is both environmentally friendly and does not disturb the environment, and also solves the needs of the transfer center. Meanwhile, construction began. I mean, they got permission from the board. Therefore, in a coordinated KabataşThis transfer center in 'will be finished, and this is until 2024, which I mentioned. KabataşThis line, which reaches to Kabataş“It will have delivered to you,” he said.
Saying, “All these transportation actions are an effort to find a solution to the concentrated population of Istanbul,” İmamoğlu said, “Here, I would like to say that at the point where both the Republican People's Party and the IYI Party, our two precious parties, which are really the main elements of the Nation Alliance, come together; Demanding and being asked to join a number of additional reserves without question, without question, without research, in a city that threatens our city, makes urbanization brutal, feeds almost 20 million active population even under today's conditions, and has a housing reserve and much more reserves, is a solution to the existing problems of this city. It is a door opening to grappling with new problems while trying to find Emphasizing that "Canal Istanbul" is one of the biggest problems waiting for the city, İmamoğlu said:
“BIG PROBLEM, BIG THREAT”
“This is a big problem. This is a big threat. In other words, unfortunately, at the point where the Montreux Convention was mentioned with such phrases as unnecessary and so on, we can see on the international platform what a historical legacy we actually have left today. That's a separate dimension. But its environmental impact, its impact on city life… In other words, the transportation axes to Istanbul today; in other words, it will bring an additional 20 percent burden to the street, the street and so on. In other words, it is a city of 2-2,5 million people, from the need for water, to the need for sewerage and so on. Such designs never stay on the line where they are drawn. It goes on like a virus. So it enters the beautiful forests of Çatalca. Durusu begins to invade the surroundings of that beautiful Terkos. You all know the course of urbanization in Istanbul as well as I do. In this context, I would like to express that we really want and want the high support of both our Republican People's Party and our IYI Party to prevent such threats from being placed in front of the city of Istanbul, which is in search of new projects that solve today's needs."
“WE STRIVE TO FINISH QUICKLY”
“This beautiful welding ceremony is important. I hope that we will get on the subway here together at the end of this year and make this trip, as we have thrown this resource here, I hope," said İmamoğlu, "To all our friends who contributed here, to our colleagues, to our working friends, to our contractor, to our consultant, of course, from the very valuable manager of our Metropolitan Municipality. , to his worker; I would like to thank all of them in your presence. Times are running fast. That's why we make an effort to finish fast, we make an effort. But I hope; I also think that we will have thrown one of the strongest resources we have boiled, such a solid source here, together with the valuable member of both the Republican People's Party and the Nation's Alliance, the IYI Party," he said.

And we are happy with that too. I am honored to be with you here, as in all your services. I hope we can open it together. They emphasized Kanal Istanbul. As both the Republican People's Party and the IYI Party, as the components of the Nation Alliance, we often talk about what Kanal Istanbul will cause in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. I personally do not think that that project will go beyond being a dream. In the future, I hope those in power will show sensitivity and take the necessary steps to eliminate this dream project so that the right steps can be taken for the future of both our country and Istanbul.

We had our youth; our youth turned into energy. We had excitement; Our excitement turned into actions. First of all, I would like to thank Mr. President for making our faces whiter, together with his team. Istanbul is a big city of the country. It is important to the world. Istanbul does not only belong to Turkey, either. Istanbul is one of the most important capitals of the world. Being able to construct 10 simultaneous subways at the same time requires compliments. Ingenuity is subject to compliment. We are having a fast-breaking fast with our Metropolitan Mayor, who really touched not some, not some, not most, but all of the 16 million Istanbulites. We would like to thank the team, the contractor company and everyone who contributed. We say good luck,” he said.
