Erdoğan Spoke at the Northern Marmara Motorway Opening Erdoğan spoke at the opening of the Northern Marmara Motorway. The issue of US sanctions drew attention in President Erdoğan's speech. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the Northern Marmara Highway 6th Section Opening Ceremony with a live link from Vahdettin Mansion. The highlights from President Erdoğan's speech were as follows: - The length of the road we opened today exceeds 68 kilometers. One more section remained in the opening of the Northern Marmara Motorway, which started in 2016 and continued step by step. I hope we will complete this last part in the last quarter of next year. - With an investment cost of 3.1 billion dollars, the annual contribution of the highway to the economy is 2.5 billion TL. The cost of the department that we are opening today also reaches 431 million dollars. This highway will provide enormous relief of vehicle traffic in both directions of Istanbul. - Turkey has experienced the problems of lack of infrastructure in transportation for a long time. When we came to power, there were 6,100 kilometers of divided roads, we increased this distance up to 28 thousand kilometers. We doubled our highway length. We have used over 880 billion lira in 18 years for transportation investments alone. - We introduced our country to fast and high-speed train lines on the railways. Next year, we are opening the Ankara-Sivas high-speed train line. We modernized our rail network as if we had built it from scratch. We have made it possible to travel by plane to every corner of our country by adding 30 new airports to 24 existing airline companies. - They tried to block our country by using every method. Thank God they have not been successful so far. We are determined to make a statement that Turkey will never hesitate to use the sovereign rights. I tell those who are trying to bring our country to its knees with threats, imposition, hypocrisy and foot tricks; We will continue to disappoint you. We will not stop until we turn this struggle to victory. - Our 2021 budget was accepted in the Turkish Grand National Assembly. With the strong solidarity we have displayed as the People's Alliance, we have ensured that the budget process, which we see as a service tool for our country and our nation, proceeds properly. 2023 will be a new year of victory for the People's Alliance. By keeping all the promises we have made to our nation, we will reach 2023 with a great mind. - Unfortunately, we lost 9 lives as a result of the explosion in a hospital belonging to the private sector in Gaziantep. I wish God's mercy on these citizens.
