This maintenance contract and the resulting reports have been reviewed by us; the deficiencies identified during the maintenance were addressed, and consequently, the maintenance report was put into effect.

At the same time, weekly and monthly maintenance checks were also carried out," he said.

MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY AND TECHNOLOGY DENIES

In a statement released on the Ministry's social media account, it was noted, "In the statement made by CHP Deputy Chairman Mr. Deniz Yavuzyılmaz regarding the incident where one of the poles carrying the cable car line in Antalya's Konyaaltı district collapsed, it was claimed that 'the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality had the cable car maintenance performed by a company approved and certified by the Ministry of Industry and Technology.'

There is no such thing as the company in question being approved or certified by the Ministry of Industry and Technology to perform cable car maintenance.

Mr. Yavuzyılmaz's statements do not reflect the truth," the statement read.
