We will continue our work in harmony with our Deputy General Chairmen, members of parliament, and mayors, first in the 11 provinces affected by disasters and then in urban transformation throughout Turkey. We will always prioritize our sensitivity towards the environment. We will first imagine what is best for our people. Everything starts with a dream. After that, we will try to realize these dreams one by one together.
