Diyarbakýr Metropolitan Mayor Osman Baydemir replied to Prime Minister Erdogan's criticism that Hakkari doesn’t give service to people despite having a budget of 20 million TL. Baydemir reminded that the budget of Diyarbakýr is 120 million TL while Istanbul has a budget of 12 billion TL and criticized the negative discriminatory economic policies applied.

Baydemir thanked all DISKI (Diyarbakýr Water and Sewerage Administration) and said; “Our target, goal and movement is a dignified life for our people.”
Baydemir said: “We have expanded the drinking water network, which was 362 kilometres in 1999, to 1590 kilometers in 10 years time. The same working has also been performed in the service of sewerage infrastructure; it has been expanded from 109 to 700 kilometers. You have ears but you don’t hear, you have a tongue but it doesn’t tell the truth. Water is faith, peace and unity.”
Following Baydemir’s speech, Yeniþehir Mayor M. Selim Kurbanoglu noted that they have come a long way in 10 years and thanked DISKI for the works it has performed.
