You were right because the foundations were laid in the past, but they could not be brought to an end.
Under your leadership, with the superior efforts and efforts of our governments, this intriguing understanding is history. Thank God, we have not had any projects that we have not been able to conclude. Even though there were some delays and setbacks, we came out of all our projects with our hearts.

If this project had been done with national budget resources, we would have delayed the implementation of many other projects.
However, we have completed this project in 6,5 year without any burden on the state's vault.
