They never tire of personalizing

The government, which privatized the institutions that the people had built with nails and teeth in poverty since the first years of the Republic, with an inherited insensitivity, resorted to privatization by searching through old books when it could not find money from abroad. Presenting his budget in the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek said: “We did not go door-to-door abroad or ask for money from anyone,” and immediately put privatization on the agenda and He said they would privatize bridges, highways, ports and HEPPs.

TRANSFER FOR 25 YEARS

The portfolio that the government has to privatize includes two Bosphorus bridges, all state-operated highways, 2,644 plots of land and land with valuable coupons, many ports, hydroelectric power plants and shares in Türk Telekom.

Among the bridges that Şimşek said they would privatize were the July 15 Martyrs Bridge, Turkey’s first Bosphorus bridge, and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet (FSM) Bridge, known as the second bridge. Our first bridge over the Bosphorus, the foundation of which was laid by then President Cevdet Sunay and Prime Minister Süleyman Demirel, was proudly put into operation on October 29, 1973, on the 50th anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic. Now, on the centenary of the Republic, he will privatize it with disappointment. Likewise, FSM, built in 1988, will also be privatized.

Privatization is expected to be carried out through the “transfer of exploitation rights” method for 25 years. In addition to the bridges, the Edirne-Istanbul-Ankara highway and the Pozantı-Tarsus-Mersin, Tarsus-Adana-Gaziantep, Toprakkale-İskenderun, İzmir-Çeşme, İzmir-Aydın and Gaziantep-Şanlıurfa highways, which still serve the public more economical. than others, it will be delivered to companies for 25 years. The highways around Izmir and Ankara, which are currently used free of charge, will also be privatized and paid for.
