FIRST STATEMENT FROM MANSUR YAVAŞ

Ankara Metropolitan Mayor Mansur Yavaş made his first statement regarding the development to journalist Ünsal Ünlü.

Yavaş stated, "We previously conducted our own review regarding this period (2021-2024) when questions were raised about it. Furthermore, civil service inspectors also conducted a review, and no public loss was found here. Now, they are trying to take it to a completely different place by adding things like bid rigging into the mix."
