Dear Mr. Ozakat,

I find your book about the projects and ideas being launched in our Cesme Peninsula to be very useful study.

Such a documentation can actually affect the officials' decisions and enlighten the public about those decisions. We can have the public participating actively through such a means of communication. This will help us arrive at more acceptable solutions.

The good and bad allocation plans that we have seen up until today I our Peninsula is now pushing the officials to pay closer attention to land allocation.

Decisions on this matter will affect future generations so it is in the best interest of the public that these decisions be widely supported by the public. We have inherited this millions of years old environment and it is our duty to preserve it, land construction, nature and all to assure that it is passed onto future generations in proper condition. I truly believe your work will be useful for achieving this goal. Today the scientific research institutions are taking on the responsibility of developing suitable land also.

The Cesme Technopark and university campuses planned within the borders of our municipality together with the Institute of Technology in the municipality of Urla make up the Advanced Technology Corridor which will make socio - economic standards rise in our region and in our country.

I'd like to congratulate you for your work which appeals to all interests and offer you my gratitude because of the support and development that it will bring to our region.

Remzi Ozen
