The people of Gaziantep have a very beautiful motto.

Turkey in the World, Gaziantep in Turkey!

An assertive, aesthetic, pleasing-sounding slogan.

Gaziantep is perhaps one of the most developing and growing cities of Turkey in the last 15-20 years.

The secret of this work goes back to the years of liberation.

The "spirit" in the liberation struggle has brought Gaziantep to this day.

This spirit; It will also carry Gaziantep to the future.

There is no doubt about it.

However!

Yes, it is necessary to unpack the word “but” a little.

Part of my childhood, the last nine years of my business life, was spent in Gaziantep.

I think I have the right to say "however".

First, let's make a few observations about Gaziantep.

It has a very important place in terms of its strategic location.

It is one of the most dynamic cities in Turkey with the youngest population.

65% of the total population is under the age of 30.

It has a thriving industry.

It is the locomotive of the region.

It has tremendous entrepreneurial potential.

The culture of solidarity and joint action is extremely good.

It has a magnificent cuisine that can set an example for the world.

It has also come to the fore with its historical riches.

It has the world's largest mosaic museum.

"The world's largest mosaic museum"!

such a museum

If it was in Dubai, India, Singapore, how would it be done?

Or if it was in the USA, Germany, Greece.

"The World's Largest".

We seem to have shown a lack of perception here.

We didn't realize the difference of being the biggest in the world.

Of course, visitors to the world's largest mosaic museum will show great interest.

Tourists travel, look and want to see beautiful things in the places they look.

They care about the historical texture, architectural structure and aesthetics in the places they see.

A decision has been made, there is no turning back from this decision.

The next thing to be done should be the beautification of the current position.

It is the implementation of new arrangements worthy of the world's largest museum in a wide area covering İpekyolu, Station area, Hacıbaba and Karşıyaka.

Otherwise we can waste the museum!

Of course, this is not the only problem in Gaziantep.

There is still much to be done in education, sports and social life.

Together we have to prepare Gaziantep for the future.

The "spirit" in the liberation struggle demands it.

No one would want to hurt this "spirit".
