As far as I know, Mr. Mansur Yavaş requested an appointment from our President upon his return from Ahlat.
This took place with the discretion of our President.
It is also in the statement made by Mr. Yavaş. They expressed the problems of Ankara and the investments for the upcoming period.
It is an extremely natural meeting held in line with the needs of Ankara.

ÇELİK USED THE FOLLOWING EXPRESSIONS:
Friends, it is a very natural meeting. Many mayors request appointments from our President. Our President grants these appointments at various times at his own discretion, depending on the suitability of his own schedule. It has happened in the past, as you know.
As far as I know, Mr. Yavaş requested an appointment from our President. This took place with the discretion of our President. It is also in the statement made by Mr. Yavaş. They expressed the problems of Ankara and the investments for the upcoming period.
Since our President also comes from a background as a mayor, he is always very sensitive about projects that will take cities further, about solving the infrastructure problems of cities, and about the implementation of certain projects aimed at raising the standards of urban life.
Here, too, he grants these appointments from time to time to mayors belonging to various parties, without regard to party affiliation. Of course, Ankara is our capital. There is nothing more natural than the investment expectations and projects of Ankara for the upcoming period being presented to our President.
