"If anyone can do it, the AK Party can!

We have determined that former Minister of Transport Cahit Turhan 

has been appointed as the CEO of the North Marmara Motorway operator.  

We have documented that during his tenure as minister, he granted 'additional vehicle traffic guarantees' to the same operator in astronomical and impossible-to-meet numbers.

The companies that make up the operator are;

KOLIN, LIMAK, CENGIZ, KALYON

The 'number of additional vehicle traffic guarantees' granted to these companies during the Cahit Turhan era:

1 Billion 338 Million Vehicles??

Even if every single car in Turkey were to pass through the North Marmara Motorway 87 times in a row, this additional guaranteed number of vehicle passages could not be met??
