AK Party Istanbul Provincial Chairman Özdemir: We will regain Istanbul

AK Party Istanbul Provincial Chairman Abdullah Özdemir makes statements on A Haber.

Highlights from Özdemir's statements are as follows:

We want to take the flag we have taken even further. Our primary goal in the new term is 2028. We want to take the AK Party to much higher levels in the presidential elections. Then, we will include Istanbul back into the AK Party household in the 2029 elections.

We know that our citizens in Istanbul are not satisfied with the current administration. The metro system in Istanbul has regressed. In the coming period, we will talk a lot about what the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality did not do and what it pretended to do.

TRAFFIC PROBLEM AND URBAN TRANSFORMATION

I am a politician who also served in the Assembly. I took a position in the Metropolitan Assembly for 8 years. I was the Mayor for 3 years. In fact, I gained significant experience in terms of municipality. While I was the mayor for 8+2 years, I also served as the Chairman of Istanbul's Transportation and Traffic Commission for 5 years. In other words, where a city like Istanbul was actually taken from and to what points it was raised and how it actually stands still, and even 300,400 thousand vehicles enter traffic every year in Istanbul. In other words, leave aside an unreasonable performance, you have to run very fast. If you stand still, you fall far behind. In this 6-year period, there has been serious complacency and regression in transportation in rail systems, highways and other areas.

During this 6-year period, there has been a serious complacency and regression in transportation in rail systems, highways and other areas. Unfortunately, the biggest problem of the traffic problem is these undone works.
