There is a political debate about construction permits and responsibilities after the flood disaster in Ayazağa.
Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Murat Kurum, in his post on the social media platform, reacted to the statements of New Party Chairman Özgür Özel following the flood disaster in Ayazağa.
"EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS A LIE"
Addressing Özel in his post, Murat Kurum said, "You are doing politics based on the pain in Ayazağa, but everything you say is a lie!" He said: Mr. Özgür, you are doing politics based on the pain in Ayazağa, but everything you say is a lie! You are not aware of both IMM's partnership in the project and the responsibilities of your municipalities.
In this project, IMM has a sales price of 1.1 billion TL and a share of 4,004 m² of construction area. In other words, the project that you said "development permission was given to the stream" in Ayazağa was implemented with the proposal of Sarıyer Municipality and with the approval of IMM in 2022. is a direct partner. The only reason why our Ministry is involved in the process is to solve the problem of 950 beneficiaries who were aggrieved by Sarıyer Municipality's extension of the construction permit process.
In addition, the rehabilitation of the stream in the region and the demolition of the structures on the stream are entirely the responsibility of the municipalities. My advice is, before explaining something, ask the relevant people, then you will end up in such a funny situation. Yes, you asked, but if you still spread these slanders for the sake of perception; Let's say it clearly; Don't bother! You will not be able to cover up the incompetence and corruption in your municipalities with these lies!
