Erdoğan visits Rize for 10 billion TL project inaugurations
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan visited his hometown of Rize to inaugurate 26 completed projects and lay the foundations for three new investments, totaling approximately 10 billion TL. Key developments highlighted include the Rize City Hospital, which is 70% complete, and plans for the Rize South Ring Road and tunnel projects to alleviate urban traffic.
During his visit, Erdoğan addressed political themes, expressing confidence in successfully navigating upcoming elections and emphasizing a commitment to a “terror-free Turkey.” He also criticized the opposition, stating that the government remains focused on service and development rather than political disputes.
Local issues were also noted, including concerns from hazelnut producers regarding TMO purchasing policies and long-standing debates over the coastal road viaducts in Rize, which residents claim have disconnected the city from the sea. Additionally, the visit featured a notable interaction with Abdulai Yahaya, a medical graduate from Ghana who chose to study at Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University due to the institution's namesake.
