In his speech at the Eid al-Adha celebration with the staff, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Deputy Mayor Nuri Aslan said, “No service is disrupted in Istanbul. We have no payment problems. We have no cleaning problems, no transportation problems, and no disruptions at the construction sites. This success is entirely yours. I repeat: Thank you for being here, and thank you for being with us. Allah has brought us together, our paths have crossed. Therefore, may Allah bring our paths together with good people in the future and may we continue to serve this country and this nation.” "May Allah grant it to all of us," he said.
Aslan continued, "Believe me, Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu has no worries at all. I've said it many times before, and I want to say it again today. He doesn't say, 'What happened to that?', 'Decide this way', 'Do this like that'. He only says: 'I have entrusted Istanbul to the people of Istanbul, and I trust you and my 92,000 friends and companions.' He knows that Istanbul has 92,000 guardians, that they are protecting 16 million Istanbul residents. Therefore, he has no worries at all."
Following the speeches, Aslan and the senior management of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality shook hands with each employee individually and wished them a happy holiday.
