“WE WILL TRY TO SUPPORT OUR CITIZENS IN EVERY AREA”
Muğla Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ahmet Aras said that, as local governments, they will work to meet and support the needs of citizens in all areas of life. Aras said, “I wish there was no such thing as social aid. Let every citizen reach a high level of economic prosperity and live in peace. However, under these conditions, this is not possible in our country. We are going through very difficult times, especially economically. As local governments, we are working on basic needs such as infrastructure, roads and water, as well as social issues such as health services, agricultural projects and financial support, and we will continue to do so. "Our most important criterion here will be to be sensitive about continuing the support without offending anyone," he said.
