The construction of an advertising board by the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality in the area located in the "1st Degree Natural Protected Area" in Güvenpark, in the center of Kızılay, Ankara, has caused reactions.
MINISTRY INITIATED AN INVESTIGATION
Following the complaint of the Chamber of Architects Ankara Branch on December 11, teams from the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change conducted an inspection in the park. It was determined that the installation was carried out within the protection area of the monument statue. It was also found that there was no approved urban design project related to the digital advertising board in both the initial urban design project and the revised urban design project.
STATEMENT FROM THE MUNICIPALITY
In a statement made by ABB, it was reported that the electronic board set up is a temporary application, placed to enhance the city's aesthetics and facilitate announcements to citizens within the scope of New Year celebrations.
ABB's statement included the following expressions: "The electronic board established in Kızılay Güvenpark is only a temporary application. It has also been constructed in a way that it can be removed and reinstalled, and its permanence is not an issue. This board has been placed to enhance the city's aesthetics and facilitate announcements to citizens within the scope of New Year and New Year celebrations.
The process has been planned to cover a limited period to contribute to the New Year atmosphere. We inform the public that this board is not part of any permanent project and that actions have been taken within the framework of the relevant legal procedures. As the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, we once again emphasize that we always have a sensitivity to protect the city's culture and historical values."
