Expressing his feelings about the first completed stage of the project in his speech at the launch, Meram Mayor Mustafa Kavuş stated that “he experienced one of the most special and exciting moments of his life. Underlining that he and his team, like Konya and Meram, experienced a historic day. Şükran Urban Transformation Project, in which we have worked meticulously, with great efforts, and spent significant time with my teammates since the day I took office, is the first output. It is impossible to express in words the happiness of witnessing it with my friends. However, today, I and my teammates feel a great sense of gratitude for this good start, which I believe will seal the future of my city and district. I hope God will grant us the ability to fulfil it properly.”
“LIFE AND COMMERCE WILL BE REVIVED WITH THE SURİÇİ BAZAAR, BRINGING THE PAST AND THE PRESENT TOGETHER”
Mayor Mustafa Kavuş, who also made statements about the importance of the Şükran Transformation Project in his speech, reminded that Meram has experienced an extraordinary rapid change and transformation process in recent years. Kavuş said that "Şükran is in the heart of the city, right in the centre, one of the vision points of Konya and, it is a showcase. The transformation carried out here is a result of our love for people and our love of serving Konya, as well as our understanding of protecting history and culture and, of course, our respect for our ancestors. The Şükran project, with its cost exceeding 3 billion TL, will bring colour and revitalization to our city. In the 2nd stage, where we launched the commercial and social areas, there are 126 shops and 64 offices in an area of 20,000 m2. When it becomes operational, my fellow citizens will agree with me. This place suits the centre of the ancient city Konya very well. Life in the region, which is the centre of daily life and trade, will revive and become colourful again. We have managed to combine today's technology and aesthetics with the texture and spirit of history in the most beautiful way. May it be beneficial to our Walled Bazaar, my city Konya and Meram.”
