Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed via videoconference the opening ceremony of Kilis Yukarı Afrin Dam and Kilis Yukarı Afrin Drinking Water Distribution Line.
“The global crisis caused by the pandemic has once again laid bare what great opportunities lie before our country. We are now much closer to our goal of becoming one of the world’s top 10 economies,” Erdoğan said.
Underscoring that just as the importance of Turkey’s strong healthcare infrastructure was better understood during the pandemic, the importance of the dams as well as the irrigation and drinking water supply plants built would be better understood as the impacts of the climate change increased, Erdoğan said: “The global crisis caused by the pandemic has once again laid bare what great opportunities lie before our country. We are now much closer to our goal of becoming one of the world’s top 10 economies. Since we will leave behind conjunctural challenges soon enough, no one should ever doubt that we will also achieve long-term gains through structural reforms.”
“We are absolutely determined to complete the construction of great and strong Turkey which is the hope of not only ours but also of our friends as well as our brothers and sisters in our region,” Erdoğan stated. (ILKHA)
