President Erdogan’s statement on Kanal İstanbul

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made statements at the Closing Ceremony of Fuat Sezgin Year. Erdogan, responding to criticism of Kanal İstanbul: 'Kanal İstanbul project will be implemented but already some say "you cannot". They also threaten the contractors. 'Do not participate in tenders, if you do participate, we will cancel the tender you received when we von the elections,' they say. You will not be in power."

Speaking at the program in İstanbul, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, responded to criticism on Kanal İstanbul.

Erdogan's statements:

Not only do we see the civil heritage exhibited here as priceless, we accept it as a trust. Science requires labor and patience.

It was not possible to make progress in the name of science since our universities, especially our institutions, which had to lead this issue, dealt with issues such as the costume of the students. We have ensured that the beginning is right by making our country and our nation reconcile with its civilization and history. The post came spontaneously.

Turkey in the last 17 years in the field of science and technology has broken the shackles shot to his feet. İstanbul Airport is one of the best examples of this. Thanks to our determined stance as a country and nation, this work which has been admired has emerged.

The airport, which started to serve in April with full capacity, reached 50 millionth passengers today. About an hour ago, a ceremony was held to send him to America.

Friday we will participate in the promotion of Turkey's automobile project. We are in the works of discovering the riches that our Lord has given us everywhere from space to under the seas.

RESPONSE TO THE CRITICISM ON CANAL ISTANBUL

I can't help but remind you that we're in the same area. Erdogan, responding to criticism of Kanal İstanbul: 'Kanal İstanbul project will be implemented but already some say "you cannot". They also threaten the contractors. 'Do not participate in tenders, if you do participate, we will cancel the tender you received when we von the elections,' they say. You are an understanding that stands before everything. You're a mind to rip up planted trees. They are "Gezici" but we're the government planted 11 million saplings and trees a day.

We have a Bosporus in İstanbul. Do you forget about the Independent? What has been lost from all other Montreux agreement it has brought to Turkey. Have you ever thought about that? If you ask them, Marmaray, Yavuz Sultan Selim bridge and Osmangazi bridge would not be.
