Olive, Olive Oil and Gastronomy Festival was held for the 10th time in Hatay's Altınözü district.
AK Party Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Yayman attended the "10th Altınözü Olive, Olive Oil and Gastronomy Festival" organized in cooperation with the Metropolitan Municipality, Altınözü District Governorate and Altınözü Municipality in Hatay's Altınözü district.
Yayman, who took part in the cortege march, harvested olives with the citizens and brought the seedlings prepared for planting to the soil.
In his speech at the opening ceremony of the festival held at the 15 July National Will Park, Yayman thanked those who contributed to the organization.
Describing the work done in Hatay, Yayman said:
"We are carrying out the so-called 'crazy projects' of Hatay, primarily under the leadership of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. We are building the Amanos Tunnel with a train track inside. It has started, the work is continuing. It is one of the largest public investments in Türkiye. Again, the Belen highway has been an issue that has been talked about for years. The highway has started, tunnels continue to be opened, viaducts have been built."
Yayman stated that the tender for the Altınözü-Antakya highway has been made and said, "This road was tendered by our Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Mr. Abdulkadir Uraloğlu. The road continues. We will allocate the necessary funds and complete the Altınözü road. Let us give the good news of this." he said.
Yayman said, "As the People's Alliance, thank God, we have brought Hatay to white municipality, People's Alliance municipality, with unity and solidarity. From now on, the services and works here will continue to increase. No one should worry." he said.
Yayman stated that the city, which was affected by the earthquakes on February 6, 2023, was revived and thanked President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for the work.
"MUNICIPALITIES SHOULD EXPRESS HOW THEY WASTE THE PUBLIC BUDGET"
Emphasizing that they aim to take the Turkish Century further by nominating President Erdoğan again, Yayman made the following assessment:
"The problem of our farmers and tradesmen is our problem. Hopefully, we will solve these problems step by step and continue our work to bring Türkiye to the place it deserves in the Turkey Century. The AK Party is a white party as its name suggests. As our President said about those who succumb to their own desires and are part of a problem, we will never walk together, we will part ways and continue on our way even stronger by solving these problems. No one should have any worries or doubts. A fish in troubled waters." We say to those who want to hunt, 'Turn around and look at yourself in the mirror'.
Therefore, those who criticize the AK Party on these issues should first express how they waste the public budget in municipalities, engage in corruption, damage public finances and the messages they send to each other in the middle of the night."
"WE WANT A NEW CONSTITUTION"
Yayman stated that the AK Party will continue to stand on the right side of history and said, "We are once again announcing to all of Türkiye at the Altınözü Festival our demand for a new constitution that will update Türkiye's politics, public administration and local government software and make Türkiye a global power." he said.
This constitution is too narrow for our nation. If Türkiye is to become a global power, the way to achieve this is through a new state and political software and a new constitution.
Hatay Governor Mustafa Masatlı said, "Our friends work day and night to measure the quality of our olives and to increase the productivity of our farmers. Here, we will strive together to offer the highest quality olives to both national and international markets." he said.
