Bozlak, speaking at the foundation laying ceremony of the Main Collector and Pumping Stations that will be built by Diyarbakir Greater City Municipality, said that they had been busy correcting the mistakes of the previous municipalities for a long time. 

Bozlak said that Diyarbakir was seen by the people of Ankara only as mothers and daughters carrying water, and continued: "This problem is solved. We are here today to solve the drainage problem in the region. The municipality will present you with all of its resources." 

Bozlak said that the Constitutional Court had opened a closure trial against HADEP three years ago, so this was not a new issue. Bozlak continued: 

"We want unity in Turkey. We are working for this country to develop and spread the Turkish Republic through the Middle East and Caucasus." 

Stating that things had changed in Turkey, Bozlak said: "We believe that the Constitutional Court will disagree with the closure of our party. There is no benefit in closing a political party in Turkey." 

Mayor Feridun Celik said that with the new projects, modernization and urbanization had been accelerated, and went on: "We have ended the problem of drinking water in the city. The structure projects we have prepared for Diyarbakir are big projects. We are planning to end these projects, which will cost nearly TL 20 trillion, by 2003."
