The Grand National Assembly of Turkey convened under the chairmanship of Deputy Speaker Tekin Bingöl. Before moving on to the agenda, Bingöl granted the floor to three deputies for off-agenda speeches. Among these names, the speech of AK Party Erzincan Deputy Süleyman Karaman drew attention.

LISTED INVESTOR COMPANIES ONE BY ONE

Karaman noted that 13 bungalows and restaurants were put into service by the Provincial Special Administration in the region, while 47 were opened by the private sector. His listing of the names of companies investing in the region led to comments that the speech had "turned into a promotion" in the General Assembly.

THANKED ERDOĞAN, YILDIRIM, AND MINISTERS

Thanking President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Binali Yıldırım, and the relevant ministers, Karaman stated, "Families will find peace, happiness, and spend their holidays in safe environments in these magnificent facilities where quality, comfort, and prestige come together."
