We will write Tatlısu's new story together

I grew up on this land, I walked these roads
For me, Tatlısu is far more than the name of a municipality. It is my childhood. The place I started school. My memories. My friendships. In short, it is home.
I know first-hand the labour of our elders, the sweat of our producers and the struggle of our local businesses.
For us, municipal service is first and foremost about PEOPLE. We will invest in services that touch our people, not in show.Read More
Four principles, one direction
The four headings behind every decision — from the letter to the field.
Listen First
Before every decision we sit with neighborhoods, tradespeople and volunteers to find the real need.
Transparent Governance
We will build a municipality where budgets, tenders and decisions can be tracked from the field.
Respect for Nature
We see our coastline, valleys and greenery as a guarantee of the future, not of growth.
Together in the Field
Being mayor is not a title — it is an ongoing partnership with the people of Tatlısu.
10 main projects, one story
From municipal transformation to the coastline, from care for our elders to entrepreneurship — projects that plan Tatlısu's next four years.
A Strong Municipality
We will build a municipality founded on merit that safeguards its employees' rights. Through digitalization, transparency and a strong financial structure, we will use our resources wisely and transform idle areas into structures that add value to the Tatlısu economy.

Tatlısu Vefa (Gratitude)

Tatlısu Social Housing
We will finally take concrete steps on social housing. Through strong cooperation with the central government, we will ensure our young people and families can access housing on affordable terms and stay in Tatlısu.

Future and Life Center
Within a single modern complex, we will bring together a Children and Youth Academy, a Sports Academy, a Culture and Arts Center, and production spaces. Our children will discover, our youth will grow.

A Producing, Entrepreneurial and Winning Tatlısu
We will strengthen our local production under the "Tatlısu Produces" brand and stand by our producers, tradespeople and young entrepreneurs. We will expand opportunities for training, mentorship and market access.
View details →
Blue Corridor
We will protect our unique 22-kilometer coastline and open it to our people. We will integrate walking paths, event areas and water sports with tourism and the local economy.
View details →
Living Memory
We will make our departed elders unforgettable in our streets and in the homes where they last lived. With QR-coded Memory Houses, an Oral History Archive, and a Culture and Memory Museum, we will carry our past into the future.

Four Seasons Tatlısu Festivals and Events
Drawing crowds to Tatlısu for a single day will not be our goal. We will organize events that genuinely benefit our tradespeople, our producers, our tourism and the promotion of Tatlısu.

A Tatlısu That Protects Its Nature and Its Animals
With the Nature and Scenic Park, an artificial waterfall, a glass viewing terrace and picnic areas, we will bring our natural beauty together with our people. With the Animal Life and Adoption Center, we will care for our living creatures.

Culture and Solidarity Association
We will lead the creation of a strong organization that reinforces culture, education, volunteering and solidarity. We will stand by our students and our people in need.
