Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay stated that “The constructions of Mevlana Bazaar and Gold Bazaar, which are among the most important transformation projects in Konya's history, are about to be completed. “Mevlana region is the most precious region of Konya. When the project finishes, both trade and historical texture will emerge in the region.”

The transformation works in Mevlana Bazaar and Gold Bazaar, carried out by the Metropolitan Municipality in accordance with the historical texture, are about to be completed. Altay said that “, We are happy to implement a project in horizontal architecture and in accordance with the historical texture by demolishing the Mevlana Bazaar and the Golden Bazaar in order to completely eliminate the inappropriate image around the Mevlana Tomb. With the support of our Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, when the work, which is one of the most important transformation projects in Konya's history, is completed, both trade and historical texture will emerge in the region.

We do our best for this purpose. 92 percent of the works were completed in the Mevlana Bazaar and 86 percent in the Gold Bazaar. So, thank God, both of our bazaars are almost finished. . We are working hard to complete both stages as soon as possible. I hope to give the good news of the opening to our tradesmen and our citizens as soon as possible.”
