The fight between the presidents escalated with road construction: I will confront you with construction vehicles.

The tension between Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan and Düzce Mayor Faruk Özlü continues with road construction. Özcan criticized the ongoing work to open a road from Düzce to Abant Lake National Park, which can only be accessed from Bolu. Özcan said that the road to Abant from Düzce is being opened due to the personal ambitions of Düzce Mayor Faruk Özlü. I say to the Mayor of Düzce, as long as I am in office, I will not let you open this road. When you reach the Düzce-Bolu border, I will meet you with construction vehicles," he said.

TANJU ÖZCAN VISITS THE REGION

The road construction work continues by the Düzce Provincial Special Administration teams to enable access to the natural wonder Abant Lake National Park from Düzce as well. Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan visited the region where the road construction work is ongoing.

"POLITICIANS SLEEP WITH THEIR POWER AND OPPOSITION"

Mayor Özcan, who reacted to the opening of a road through the forest to Abant Lake National Park, used the following statements: "The road to Abant from Düzce is being opened due to the personal ambitions of Düzce Mayor Faruk Özlü. I say to the Mayor of Düzce, as long as I am in office, I will not let you open this road. When you reach the Düzce-Bolu border, I will meet you with construction vehicles. We are currently at the location right next to Samandere Waterfalls. The road from Düzce to Abant is being opened due to the personal ambitions of the Mayor of Düzce. One month ago, the Mayor of Düzce made a statement about this place. Our politicians, both in power and in opposition, are sleeping.

"AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL THINK ABOUT THIS?"

I waited for a month patiently, wondering if our politicians, our members of parliament, would speak up. Brother, will no one else take care of Bolu's problems? He comes here and tries to connect Düzce to Abant by cutting down thousands of trees, almost committing an environmental massacre. Let all environmentalists and politicians hear this. I say this regardless of whether they are in power or in opposition. If you won't react to this, then what will you react to? What will happen to the hundreds of businesses on the road to Abant? Have you ever thought about that? Am I the only one who will think about this? What are our members of parliament and provincial chairmen doing?"
