What do locals from Turkey’s southern Hatay and southeastern Gaziantep and Mardin think ahead of local elections?
. Although there are no major variations between the current and previous local elections, political parties have formed the same alliances as they did for the parliamentary and presidential elections held in 2018.
Out of 81 provinces in Turkey, 30 are metropolitan municipalities containing over 750,000 residents. The most important three metropolitan municipalities are Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. What Turkey’s Mediterranean city of Hatay and southeastern cities Gaziantep and Mardin lack in size, they make up for in diversity - and are always intriguing ahead of elections. The southeastern Anatolian tiger: GaziantepGaziantep is Turkey’s fourth biggest industrial city. The province is known for its historical and diverse character and shares a southern border with Syria.
Gaziantep is an industrial centre in the city and attracts thousands of Turkish citizens from neighbouring provinces since it offers jobs and more developed and modern city. The former local mayor candidate of what used to be the Welfare Party in the town of Birecik in 1994 and an entrepreneur in the energy industry, Mustafa Cavvas, says that the biggest obstacles facing the city are misguided investment strategies and“Gaziantepians are hardworking people. Different from many Anatolian towns, the rich of this city made their investment here and did not move to the capital Ankara or Turkey’s economic centre Istanbul.
