Emphasizing that there was no pressure or bargaining involved in the decision-making process, Usta stated, "I would like to specifically state, along with my fellow council members, that we were not under any pressure, we were not under any threat, and we were not involved in any bargaining while making this decision.
Our goal is to serve Üsküdar more effectively, and we believe we can achieve this under this roof.
For this reason, I thank you for accepting us."
