Delivering a speech at the conference titled, “Kayseri in 2050” organized by Abdullah Gül University (AGU) and Metropolitan Municipality, Mayor Mustafa Çalık said they had to set right targets for Kayseri for the time set and advised, “Every company and institution have to make these types of activities in order to direct their future and to plan right growth plans. We, in collaboration with AGU, have planned this conference to determine the level which Kayseri may reach and to set right policies in line with that target. AGU is a fast growing and developing university of our country. Our rector is an academician conscious of knowledge and attaching importance on common sense. AGU has a success achieved for its adherence to common sense. We also wanted to do similar activities for our city and set the right vision when preparing our city for the future. That’s why we have organized such a conference. I had conducted similar activities with all dynamics of the society and I had taken the ideas of the society. If you get and respect the ideas and suggestions of the people you will administrate, you get the success.”
ON POPULATION MOVEMENTS
Presenting his expectations from the conferences, Mayor Çelik stressed on population, “Where shall we stand when we get to 2050 with regard to health, transportation and education? How will population movements be and how will our economical, industrial and trade talents be developed? Shall we get the right we deserve at tourism? In addition, how will the demands and satisfaction points of our people be formed? We should find answers to all of these questions. I especially believe that population movements is something we should focus on. We didn’t have an issue of Syrians on our agenda a few years ago. But today we have a lot of Syrians in our country and in our city. They have issues such as employment, feeding, sheltering, etc. We should also consider immigrations and their reflections.”
