Mayor’s Message

We take pride in our years long struggle with the approach of “Serving Büyükçekmece is serving Turkey” in this path we set out to with the principle of “Love is the foundation of service”. While the civilized and technological changes throughout the world is being experienced in every field, it is unlikely to be not affected by such.

 

The only issue is whether these changes are always to the good or the improvement. We have always adopted developing, renewing, raising our civilization and the goal of "More Contemporary Büyükçekmece, Happier Büyükçekmece townsmen” as a principle with the awareness of this long and difficult path we have embarked on. 

 

We have never lost the effort to set an example from the family to the people, from the town to the district, from the district to the city, from the city to the country and from the country to the world in our municipal services expanding over 40 years in this journey we have set out with people in our focus. This effort and our love for Büyükçekmece exert themselves in our thoughts, actions, heart and municipal services approach. 

 

The greatest goal of our lives should be “the future”. Rather than how we lead our lives, what we pass on to the future generations is what really matters. If you ask me what the the long years of municipality services has taught me; I would say it is “The smile on the face of a child and the expression of pride in the eyes of an elder.” . How lucky am I to set an example to my peers and young people, if I can ...

 

As there is no limit to services according to my understanding of municipal services. I have not lost a bit of my joy throughout the long years of municipal services. I can say that we are at the beginning of the road with my colleagues so far. Despite having our marks on every inch of Büyükçekmece and our signature on every stone; I am always aware that we have a long road to cover. Knowing that you are always with me on this road strengthens me more.

 

Needless to mention that we cannot overlook the financial and economic bottlenecks the world and Turkey are going through in the meantime we are conducting our services. However, it is the mere index of happiness of our people that drives us. We are able to overcome any difficulty with the motivation of making the slightest possible contribution of happiness to be felt in the bottom of their hearts. Thus any difficulty is rendered easy and impossible works become just little time consuming works. As you know, only the ones capturing lightning in a bottle take their place in the history.

 

You are well aware that the Turkish people are a nation that have unfortunately turned their backs on the seas since the old times. However, everyone has grasped the importance of the seas and thus the shores well and the Turkish people are becoming well aware of the shores as Turkey's window on the world. Our coastal towns have now become the embodiment of the civilization of our country and increased their significances. We now have people flows from coast to inner lands.

​​

This breath of wind is the freedom, happiness, civilization, innovation and most importantly the bond of love. We would like to share this bond of love primarily with our country and then the world.

 

I have never tread a step without listening to my heart in this path I have set unto with the love of serving.

 

I would like to mention from the bottom of my heart that the Büyükçekmece of my heart is filled with beauties, service, culture, freedom, happiness and most importantly, you...

 

It is an honor to be a part of the Büyükçekmece of your hearts for many years.
