Dear People of Bodrum,

We commenced our duties on April 1, 2019, with a celebration of democracy and the warm trust of the people of Bodrum. We believe in the spirit of teamwork and participatory democracy. Instead of "I know," we stand by the principle of "together we know," embarking on the journey to govern Bodrum with courage, determination, fairness and inclusivity. On this journey, transparency, accountability, pluralistic and democratic involvement in decision-making, appropriateness of services, the well-being and happiness of the community will be our top priorities.
