Gaziantep's struggle in the War of Independence is one of the exemplary struggles of history.

It is such a struggle that they have driven the enemy out of their lands with their own efforts and means, without any outside help.

For this reason, it is the first city to be awarded the title of "Gazi".

His hard work, courage, sincerity, loyalty, self-sacrifice, fighting spirit, unity and solidarity are the legacy of those days of struggle.

Gaziantep, which gives the right to these "values" in history, is rewarded for the persecution and suffering it suffered in those days.

Unless it loses these features, Gaziantep will grow and develop even more in the future.

As long as he knows the value of these "values", he does not allow these values to degenerate.

Our nation is loyal.

Our nation is appreciated.

If someone has done a good deed or showed a heroism, this nation will never forget it.

That kindness and heroism will pay off when the time comes.

Gaziantep undoubtedly owes what it is experiencing today to this.

While most people immigrated to Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Antalya, some migrated to Gaziantep.

When we look at the numbers, we can see that our city has received an intense migration from the surrounding provinces, especially in the 1990s and 2000s.

Gaziantep, which received high rates of immigration before the 2000s, started to decrease in the following years.

Between 2010 and 2011, 45,991 people came to Gaziantep for migration and at the same time, 38,634 people went to Gaziantep for migration.

Gaziantep ranks 13th among 81 provinces with a net migration of 7,357.

Şanlıurfa, Adıyaman, Kahramanmaraş, Malatya, Van, Siirt, Diyarbakır are the provinces that receive intense immigration.

The common features of these provinces are the population growth rate is much higher than the average of Turkey.

The people who came and settled in Gaziantep by immigration have contributed to the increase of the population after they had a job.

Glad they came and contributed.

If this contribution had not been made, Gaziantep would not have been as strong as it is today.

If Gaziantep has gained so much power today, has become such a powerful and dynamic city, it owes to the migration it has received over time.

If this migration had not happened, where would Gaziantep find the workers who would turn the wheels of industry, with what power and with what resources?

For this reason, Gaziantep needs to receive more immigrants and be ready for more immigration.

If it is ready for this migration and can evaluate this migration, migration will be a "Power" for Gaziantep.

As it has been until now…
