Mansur Yavaş had announced it: When will Turgut Altınok disclose his assets?

Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş's disclosure of his assets has turned eyes toward People's Alliance Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayoral Candidate Turgut Altınok.

Altınok said the following during a live broadcast he attended:

"WHEN THE TIME COMES..."

"When I was a candidate in '94, a newspaper headline read 'The richest mayor of Ankara.' Assets are not ours, they belong to God; we are merely trustees. Altınok's assets were acquired before becoming mayor. Mayors provide their asset declarations. My assets were acquired before my mayoral tenure. When we look at my mayoral term, there is a loss. My car sits in front of the municipality; if I have personal business, I get into my own car and go. I have served for 20 years, and there is not 1 kuruş of travel expenses or per diem from the municipal treasury. My wife and children have not ridden in my official vehicle for 20 years. For 20 years, not one square meter of green space has been converted into commercial or residential property. The municipality with the most parks in Turkey is Keçiören Municipality; the one with the most sports halls is Keçiören Municipality. In 5 years, the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality has not built a single sports hall. For 4.5 years, the ABB could not open the ice rink. We built an ice rink in Ovacık in 6 months. Children from Ankara come to Keçiören to skate. We provide their helmets and skates. I will disclose my assets. I will disclose them when I want to. Let no one be offended; I bought a house with my mayoral salary, I bought a house in London. I don't have a house in London or anything like that, and my children don't have a company either. You cannot buy a house in London with a mayoral salary. Ask whoever has a house in London. Whatever Altınok has is within the borders of Turkey. We have no other direction. I will disclose my assets. You practice law until you become mayor; did you buy a house in London, were you able to?
