Prime Minister Ünal Üstel made investigations at the point where asphalting of the Alsancak road, the second stage of the road works in Kyrenia, started.

Prime Minister Ünal Üstel, accompanied by the Minister of Public Works and Transport Erhan Arıklı, gave technical information about the second stage road works after his examinations. During the examinations, Lapta Alsancak Çamlıbel Mayor Fırat Ataser was also present in the region.

Hüseyin Tüfekçi, the company director who undertook the tender, said that they started the second stage works after the first stage works, and that after the telephone, water, fiber optic cables, lighting infrastructure works, the basic casting will be completed today and tomorrow and the traffic will be relieved. Tüfekçi stated that there are 30-35 thousand vehicles passing through the region per day, and that the works will continue for three days without stopping and the first floor will be finished by the end of the week.

Arıklı, Minister of Public Works and Transport, stated that they paid great attention to the works in the region and stated that resources were prepared in the budget and the 2,200-meter area would be completed.

Arıklı also stated that after the completion of the fundraising works, the road works will continue until the Lapta hotels region.

Expressing that the transactions here will be completed by the end of June, Arıklı thanked the company.

Lapta Alsancak Çamlıbel Mayor Ataser stated that an important investment was made in traffic and infrastructure, which is the biggest problem of the region, and thanked for the efforts to ease the traffic in the region.

Ataser said that it is pleasing that the third phase will continue.

Expressing that they witnessed a beautiful event on a beautiful day, Prime Minister Ünal Üstel said that they said that half-projects would be completed in the country from the day the government was established, and that they continued their work regardless of what was said.

Pointing out that they are also working for the welfare and happiness of the people regarding the laws that have not been passed for many years, Üstel noted that today they are trying to finish a road that has been waiting for many years, step by step.

Stating that they first passed the laws pending in the parliament, Üstel cited laws such as the law of municipalities, the law of industrial zones, the law of the state.

“We will fulfill our every promise,” said Üstel. “The TRNC is the country of all of us, we should all take care of it, criticize the wrongs but also applaud the truth,” he said.

Expressing that they wanted to make a change in the Procurement Law in the Parliament yesterday, Üstel pointed out that there was a problem with electricity in the country, that there had been no investment for a long time and that Aksa company had been purchased.

Stating that this purchase has continued since the old years, but if this were not the case, they would have been dependent on the Greek Cypriots today, Üstel pointed out the problems in the electricity company, and said that they “hit the scalpel”, that Turkey took over the maintenance and purchases, that they did not pay the institution to pay a penny for repairs or parts, and for fuel. He also noted that they bear the freight charge.

Üstel said that there is a problem in energy, so they have to think about the future of the country and take steps.

Stating that it is vital to bring electricity to the country via cable in this context, Üstel said, “It is imperative that electricity comes to the country via cable. In this way, there will be a transition to the interconnected system and we will be a partner in the pool of Turkey and the European Union. We want to be able to provide electricity to this pool. We will pave the way for solar energy and environmentally friendly electricity production in our country. There is a surplus of production right now, we cannot even allow houses. We are working in this direction,” he said.

Stating that they respect the strike in the country, but other actions were taken despite the decision to postpone it, Üstel noted that a legal investigation will be carried out on this issue.

Emphasizing that there are allegations of “sabotage” and that this is not a pleasant event, and that no one has the right to disrupt life in the country, Üstel said, “Any action should be taken, but if there is sabotage, they will find the government against them, I call on everyone to be prudent, let’s be prudent, let’s be together for the country.”

Stating that they will do whatever it takes to get electricity via cable, Üstel said that the pain of the earthquake has not passed, so they will do their best to make the people happy and prosperous from now on.
