The foundations of the first factory, Troya PetFood, were laid in Ezine Gıda İhtisas OIZ.

Work continues at full speed in the Ezine Food Specialized Organized Industrial Zone, where 91 factories will come to life, thousands of citizens will be employed, the fate of a district will change and a region will develop. While work for factories continues in Ezine OIZ, the foundations of the first factory have been laid. AK Party Group Deputy Chairman and Çanakkale Deputy Bülent Turan said at the groundbreaking ceremony, "The rise of our Çanakkale and Ezine means the rise of Turkey."

The opening ceremony was attended by AK Party Group Deputy Chairman and Çanakkale Deputy Bülent Turan, AK Party Çanakkale Deputy Jülide İskenderoğlu, Governor İlhami Aktaş, Deputy Governor and Provincial Special Administration General Secretary Abdullah Köklü, Ezine District Governor Yunus Kızılgüneş, Provincial General Assembly President Nejat Önder, AK Party Provincial Mayor Naim Makas, Ezin Mayor Güray Yüksel, Ezine OIZ General Manager Alper Altınok, ÇTSO Chairman of the Board of Directors Selçuk Semizoğlu, provincial directors, department heads, institution representatives, NGO representatives and headmen also attended.

The foundations of the first factory were laid in the Ezine Food Specialized Industrial Zone, where 91 factories will come to life, chimneys will smoke and will contribute to the development of a region. At 17:00, the groundbreaking ceremony of the factory called Troya Petfood, which will produce animal food, took place in the OIZ area.

"Ezine is not an ordinary region for us"

Speaking at the ceremony, AK Party Group Deputy Chairman and Çanakkale Deputy Bülent Turan said , "We attended many events in Çanakkale as soon as we arrived. We attended programs in Gelibolu and Bayramiç. After that, we are in Ezine for a very special program. We have a problem. We want Let's meet with our citizens in every field. Ezine is not an ordinary region for us.

Ezine is a completely different district with its mosque and madrasah, where you have very special memories. The name Ezine comes from Adhan. People gather in Ezine after the Friday prayer and Ezine becomes the Friday gathering area. We do not consider Ezine as a transit place. We think it is valuable to live the memories in Ezine.

"Our bridges, tunnels, OIZ and all our investments are on track"

I'm very proud today. When we held meetings 4-5 years ago, we always stated that food was very prominent in our region, but there was no branding. Accordingly, we suggested that the most valuable investment in our region is a food OIZ and that these products and productions in our region should be more branded. The bridge has started. Food OIZ also started on the same date. Thank God, our bridge, tunnels, OIZ and all investments are on track.

"Even if not 45 thousand but 4 thousand vehicles pass, our bridge is a need of this shadow."

Even if not 45 thousand but 4 thousand vehicles pass, our bridge is a need of this shadow. If there wasn't that bridge, why would investors from Istanbul invest here? Why should industrialists invest? If there is not a single vacant parcel left in Ezine Gıda OIZ today, isn't it because of this bridge? The value the bridge adds to the region will be understood over time.

There were scoundrels who said they will throw you into the sea from the bridge. You will see things that will get worse. That bridge will not only increase Çanakkale's land, vineyards and gardens, but will also increase employment.

"No matter what anyone says, we have world-related problems"

No matter what anyone says, we have world-related problems. Energy costs are increasing. But we know that these problems are not the problems in Turkey. Prices have increased all over the world. But we have to overcome it. We will overcome. What have we not overcome? What economic crises and coups have we not overcome? We overcame the most important crises shoulder to shoulder. We will build the same strong Turkey together.

The rise of our Çanakkale and Ezine means the rise of Turkey. "Our municipality laid the foundations and opened many important projects," he said.
