City restaurants closed in Şişli, statement issued by the trustee!
The city restaurants opened during the term of CHP Mayor Resul Emrah Şahan are closed. It was reported that the shuttle service is also not being provided. The trustee, however, issued a statement claiming the reports were unfounded. Removed Mayor Resul Emrah Şahan, who is currently detained in Silivri, stated, "If our mobile city restaurant were operating, it would be serving in front of the Şişli Mosque; today, it has been pulled into our municipality's garage. The doors of our fixed city restaurants are closed."

The Ministry of Interior has appointed Şişli District Governor Cevdet Ertürkmen as a trustee to replace the arrested Şişli Mayor Resul Emrah Şahan.
With the end of the Şahan era, the city restaurants opened in the Okmeydanı Mahmut Şevket Paşa neighborhood and the İzzetpaşa neighborhood are currently closed. It was stated that the truck belonging to the Şişli Municipality, which was used as a mobile city restaurant, has also been pulled into the municipal garage.
If Şahan had not been arrested, another city restaurant was planned to be opened in the Paşa neighborhood next week. In the Şişli Municipality's city restaurants, a four-course meal offered to citizens was sold for 40 TL.
The City Restaurants had not been providing service since Friday, March 21.
STATEMENT FROM THE TRUSTEE
On the other hand, a statement regarding the issue was made by the trustee.
In the statement made from the official social media account of the Şişli Municipality, it was said, "Reports claiming that '3 City Restaurants in Şişli have been closed' are completely unfounded. The instruction to reopen the 3 City restaurants—two of which are fixed and one mobile, but which have been kept closed since 19.03.2025 due to a lack of material supply—as soon as possible was given by the Deputy Mayor, Mr. Cevdet Ertürkmen, to the relevant unit managers on 24.03.2025, the day he took office. Increasing the number of our City Restaurants in the medium term, in line with the needs of our district, is on our municipality's agenda. We kindly request our citizens not to give credence to these and similar lies that are products of operational journalism."
RESUL EMRAH ŞAHAN: 'ANSWER THIS, WHY ARE THE CITY RESTAURANTS CLOSED?'
In a statement made from the social media account of the removed Mayor Resul Emrah Şahan, who is detained in Silivri, he said, "If our mobile city restaurant were operating, it would be serving in front of the Şişli Mosque; today, it has been pulled into our municipality's garage. The doors of our fixed city restaurants are closed."
If our mobile city restaurant were operating, it would be serving in front of the Şişli Mosque; today, it has been pulled into our municipality's garage. The doors of our fixed city restaurants are closed. Those who gave the verbal instruction to close the City Restaurants today and then denied it should answer one question: As seen in these photos, why are the City Restaurants closed? This fight is between those who are never satisfied and those who cannot get enough to eat! Our struggle and our services will continue.
SHUTTLE SERVICE IS ALSO NOT BEING PROVIDED
On the other hand, it was learned that the 'Shuttle' application, which provides short-distance transport service, is also not being provided.
