Şanlıurfa Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mehmet Kasım Gülpınar emphasized the importance they place on combating addiction and stated that they have initiated the transition from substance to meaning in Şanlıurfa.
The Mayor of Şanlıurfa, Mehmet Kasım Gülpınar, signed a protocol with the Liman Ayık Yaşam Association for Şanlıurfa. Within the scope of the protocol, addiction will be fought against in Şanlıurfa. The historical stone building, which is used as an additional service building by the Eyyübiye Municipality, whose ownership is in the Şanlıurfa Metropolitan Municipality, will become a new center for addiction treatment in Şanlıurfa.
"WE HAVE STARTED THE TRANSITION FROM SUBSTANCE TO MEANING IN ŞANLIURFA" The Mayor of Şanlıurfa, Mehmet Kasım Gülpınar, emphasized that they attach special importance to the fight against drug addiction in Şanlıurfa. He said, "The fight against addiction is among the issues we prioritize. We had the opportunity to meet with the Liman Ayık Yaşam Association in Istanbul. With the support of our Governorship, we established the association. Building a city is as important as, maybe even more important than, building a generation. Unfortunately, our generation is facing serious problems today. We have started the transition from substance to meaning in Şanlıurfa, benefiting from the possibilities of scientific and modern medicine. I believe that we will achieve good results in this regard. Saving the life of a young person is extremely important for both society and us. We have allocated the place used by the Eyyübiye Municipality, whose ownership belongs to the Şanlıurfa Metropolitan Municipality, for this purpose. I would like to thank the Mayor of Eyyübiye, Mehmet Kuş, for his contribution."
"WE WILL CONDUCT AN EFFECTIVE STRUGGLE AGAINST ADDICTION" Dr. Hakan Yalman, the Vice President of the Liman Ayık Yaşam Association, thanked the Mayor of Şanlıurfa, Mehmet Kasım Gülpınar, for his contributions and stated that they will work with great effort to achieve important and beneficial results in the fight against addiction in Şanlıurfa.
