Dünyanın en eski manastırı olarak bilinen Mor Gabriel Manastırı ve 276 dönümlük arazisinin Hazine’ye devrinin iptali istemiyle temyiz davası açıldı

Tülay ACAR / AHT

DÜNYANIN ayakta kalan en eski Süryani Ortodoks Manastırı olarak bilinen Mardin Midyat’taki Mor Gabriel Manastırı (Deyrulumur) için köylülerin açtığı işgal davasında manastır adına Yargıtay’a temyiz başvurusunda bulunuldu. Başvuruda, manastırın bulunduğu 276 dönümlük arazinin Hazine’ye devrinin tescilinin iptal edilmesi istendi. Dosya Yargıtay 20. Hukuk Dairesi’nde incelemeye alındı. Yargıtay’ın temyiz başvurusunu kabul etmemesi halinde manastırın arazisi Hazine’ye kalacak. Süryani cemaati için iç hukuk yollarının tükenmesi nedeniyle bundan sonraki süreçte manastır adına Anayasa Mahkemesi’ne bireysel başvuru yapılması gündeme gelecek.

‘BELGELERİMİZ VAR’
Kilisenin ve arazinin MS 397 yılından beri kendilerine ait olduğunu belirten Mor Gabriel Manastırı Vakfı Başkanı Kuryakos Ergün, “1936’da çıkarılan Vakıf Beyannamesi ile Mor Gabriel Manastırı bize verildi. 1937’den itibaren ise vergi verilmeye başlandı; kayıtları elimizde mevcut. 1930’ların sonlarında İl İdare Kurulu, idari sınırları belirlemek için, bir kroki hazırlıyor, o krokide manastır ve köyler mevki isimleri olarak yer alıyor. Her köyün krokisi, idarenin sınırlarını belirmek üzerine çiziliyor. Bu köyler de, sınırlarını, duvar çekerek belirliyorlar. Köylerin, bu sınırları kabul ettiklerini belirten hukuki belgeler mevcut” dedi.

DAVA SÜRECİ
Mardin’in Midyat İlçesi’ne bağlı Güngören Köyü sınırları içerisinde bulunan manastır idaresinin, komşu köylerin sınırları içerisindeki 100 hektarlık ormanlık alanı işgal ettiği öne sürülmüş ve 2008 yılında dava açılmıştı. Yerel mahkeme, söz konusu arazilerin kilisenin malı olduğuna karar vermişti. Yerel mahkemenin direnme kararı üzerine dosyanın gittiği Yargıtay Genel Kurulu da yerel mahkemenin direnme kararını bozmuştu. Bu kararla birlikte manastırın Hazine’ye devri için süreç başlamıştı.

İKİNCİ KUDÜS
Manastır, MS 397 yılında Mor Şmuel ve Mor Şemun tarafından kuruldu. Manastır, 5. ve 6. yüzyıldan kalan Bizans dönemi mozaikleri, kubbeleri, çan kuleleri, hareketli terasları, kapıları ve Midyat kesme taşlarından yapılan kapı ve motif süslemeleriyle ünlü. Kilise tarafından İkinci Kudüs olarak ilan edildi.

The Syriac Orthodox Metropolitan Roham: the people suffer even when there is no fighting

Monaco - The suburban areas of northern Syria "are mostly controlled by various insurgent groups." The military government has abandoned the rural areas to concentrate its presence on the city of Hassaké and Kamishly. "But the people in these two cities have a great fear that fighting could start at any moment. In that case, a large number of children, girls, women and old people will cross the border with Turkey." This is how Eustathius Matta Roham, Syriac Orthodox Metropolitan of Jazirah and Euphrates, describes the situation experienced by Syrian populations in the north-east governorate of Hassaké, bordering Turkey and Iraq. In a report sent to Fides Agency, the Syriac Orthodox Metropolitan confirms that churches and all Christian symbols have been destroyed in the city of Ras al-Ayn, and he reports that the military conflict in the area has reached a deadlock, but the whole population is suffering due to the collapse of economic activities and the lack of primary goods. "The systematic practice of kidnapping continues," says S. E. Roham "and there is a permanent flow of people fleeing to Turkey."On Saturday, May 18 Metropolitan Roham met representatives of charitable organizations in Monaco of Bavaria to assess their Christian relief programs in favor of the Syrian people. The meeting is part of a mission to Europe that S. E. Roham is carrying out on behalf of Syriac Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius Zakka I Iwas, also to ascertain the condition in which Syrian refugees who have reached Greece live.Earlier, during his European Union "mission", the Syriac Orthodox Metropolitan had already met with officials of the charitable organizations Misereor, Missio and Aid to the Church in Need, and also Cardinal Christoph Schönborn.

Syrian opposition leader does not know whereabouts of missing bishops

Syrian opposition leader Sabra now says he doesn't know of bishops' whereabouts, after giving more certain account two weeks ago

The leader of the Syrian opposition coalition is backing away from previous reports that he is certain of the location and condition of two Syrian Orthodox bishops kidnapped April 22.

George Sabra, president of the Syrian National Coalition, told World Watch Monitor on May 21 he is not informed of the movement of the bishops from day to day, or of the identity of the captors. This is a change from May 7 statements attributed to Sabra during a meeting of Middle East leaders in Beirut.

Sabra also told World Watch Monitor the coalition is "doing our best" to expel the handful of Muslims who have come from Europe at the urging of jihadist groups with al-Qaeda links who count themselves among the broader Syrian opposition movement.

Yohanna Ibrahim, head of the Syriac Orthodox Church in Aleppo, was kidnapped alongside his counterpart from the Greek Orthodox Church, Boulos Yaziji, after travelling to the Turkish border in an attempt to secure the release of two priests kidnapped in February. Their driver, Fathallah Kaboud, later was killed.
Apart from an early flurry of erroneous reports that the clerics had been released, little was heard about their whereabouts, who snatched them, or why.

That changed May 7 when Amin Gemayel, former president of Lebanon and current leader of its Kataeb Party, held a meeting in his Beirut office, according to the Lebanon Star.

"The bishops are in good health and are being held by a small group in a town called Bshaqtin, 20 kilometers northwest of Aleppo," Sabra told Gemayel by phone during the meeing, according to the Star.
Attending the meeting were Deputy Bishop of Aleppo Joseph Shabo, Mount Lebanon´s Syriac Orthodox Bishop George Saliba, Beirut´s Bishop Daniel Koriyeh and Syriac League President Habib Afram.
Afram told World Watch Monitor the group had sought the meeting with Gemayel to seek his help securing the bishops' release. Instead, he said, they heard Sabra tell them he was powerless to help.

"During our meeting, Syrian opposition leader George Sabra spoke with both Cheikh Gemayel and Bishop Saliba over the phone. Sabra claimed that he knows where the abducted bishops are and who the kidnappers are. I find it outrageous that one of the most powerful leaders of the Syrian opposition says he knows where they are but can´t do anything to release them."

Afram, Secretary General of the Union of Lebanese Christian Leagues and a prominent defender of the fate of Christians in the Middle East, said Sabra's inability to secure the release of the bishops has troubling implications for the future of Christians in Syria.

"Sabra said things like 'This is not giving a good impression of our revolution and we promise to take all possible actions to get them released'. But that is only words," Afram said. "We emphasised that if he can´t control his own area — the place where the bishops were kidnapped — then how can he claim that he can change Syria for the better? And how will he be able to make Christians remain in Syria?"
Contacted May 21 by World Watch Monitor, Sabra gave a less certain accounting of the bishops than he was reported to give May 7.

"You know that the bishops are moved always day by day or from week to week. So therefore we don't know the place exactly," he said.

He also said the coalition isn't sure who is behind the kidnappings.

"About this we have different information, we have new news that we will check. We have news that they are in Aleppo. We can't say that this information is real, we have to check."

When asked how he knows the bishops are moved, if anyone has spoken to them, and if there is any evidence they are alive, he replied, "you know, by our people inside Syria that interrogated the groups."
"Really we believe that they are alive," he said. "But there is no clear picture of that. We are doing our best, but right now we didn't succeed."

Thousands of Christians have fled the violence in Syria, and church leaders say the abductions have accelerated the exodus. Sabra said he wants Syrian Christians to remain courageous.
"We are aware of the impression these gives to our revolution," he said. "But we are doing our best. Syrian Christians have been living in the country for thousands of years. And they should be courage enough to stay in their homeland."

Sabra, himself a Christian, insisted there is no evidence Syrian Christians are under pressure because of their religion, despite testimony to the contrary from Christians inside Syria and those that have fled to Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.

"Maybe there are some small events here and there," he said, "but we have not the right to exaggerate with these events to tell it as a fact, as a truth, of the life in Syria. Really it is not true. And the only way to protect Christians, as to protect other Syrians, is to push Bashar al-Assad's regime out of power and start a new era in Syria with (a) civil state, democratic state, with elections, constitution, a law. This is the only thing which (will) help all people in Syria to be protected in their country."

Sabra also rejected any comparisons of the impact of Syria's drawn-out civil war on Christian nationals to the flight of Christians from neighboring Iraq.

"We have here two major principal differences here in Syria," he said. "Iraq was occupied by foreign troops, and also they have a neighbour considered an enemy to Iraqis for many years, I mean Iran. So the effect of the occupation and the effect of Iranians inside Iraq caused the situation. In Syria we have something different. I'm sure that Christians will stay and live in Syria as they did for hundreds of years. It's their country. In Syria we have thousands of churches and nobody can prove or give one example of a church being persecuted by Muslims."

Still, when pressed, Sabra acknowledged one similarity to Iraq of grave concern to resident Christians: the presence of imported Islamist militants, some of them aligned with al-Qaeda. An April report by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation, at London's King's College, estimates that somewhat less than 10 percent of the opposition fighters are from outside Syria, and that between 7 percent and 10 percent of that fraction come from Europe.

"We are sorry to hear about that," Sabra said. "We were informed about two young people from Belgium. Believe me, we are doing our best to contact these people and to operate with the European community and the European governments to save their lives and send them back home to their countries safely."
Meanwhile, Afram said he meets with Christians that have fled Syria every day in his office in Lebanon. "People are kidnapped on a daily basis for ransom or just to scare them to leave," he said. "Christians are systematically targeted by kidnappings."

He said if the bishops are alive, Sabra should employ the power of his position to win their release.
"George Sabra should act and he should show leadership capability, or leave" Afram said. "He should exercise direct involvement, even take risks to go himself with (the) army of the opposition to negotiate the release of the bishops. Make (a) clear statement regarding his (objection) that bishops were treated like this."

نجيب ميقاتي يأمل في الإفراج عن مطراني حلب

    بيروت ـ جورج شاهين

    الأربعاء, 22 أيار 2013 19:31 GMT

أمل رئيس الحكومة المستقيل نجيب ميقاتي " في أن تسفر الاتصالات الجارية حديثا على المستويات كلها، عن الكشف على مصير المطرانين المخطوفين في سورية بولس اليازجي ويوحنا إبراهيم وإطلاق سراحهما في أسرع وقت".
واعتبر" أن خطف المطرانين، بما يمثلانه من قيمة دينية وإنسانية، يشكل إساءة لا يمكن لأي مسؤول عربي ودولي السكوت عنها "، داعيا "الدول المعنية بالأحداث في سورية إلى تكثيف تحركها للإفراج عنهما".
وإذ رأى " أن الوجود المسيحي في الشرق ثابت وأساسي وضروري على رغم الصعوبات المتعددة في أكثر من بلد "، آملا في" أن تنتهي الأحداث في سورية سريعا، وأن يحافظ التعايش الإسلامي – المسيحي في منطقتنا على صلابته واستمراريته رغم التحديات الكثيرة التي تواجهه".
وكان ميقاتي قد استقبل وفدا من السريان الأرثوذكس ضم مطران جبل لبنان وطرابلس مار ثاوفيلوس جورج صليبا، ومطران بيروت مار اقليموس دانيال كورية، مطران دمشق جان قواق والسكرتير البطريركي المطران متى الخوري وأعضاء من المجلس الملي، ورافق الوفد رئيس الرابطة السريانية حبيب أفرام.
وقال رئيس الرابطة السريانية حبيب إفرام عقب اللقاء" لقد زار وفد رسمي من الكنيسة السريانية الأرثوذكسية برئاسة الأحبار في سورية ولبنان ومع المجلس الملي في حلب نجيب ميقاتي للبحث في ملف المطرانين المخطوفين بولس اليازجي ويوحنا إبراهيم، وقد طلبنا منه أن يعتبر هذا الملف وهذه القضية قضية وطنية لبنانية لما لها من انعكاس على كل الحضور المسيحي في الشرق وعلى معنى العيش الواحد المشترك الذي يجب أن يبقى لبنان رائداً ونموذجاً له".
وأضاف " طالبنا أيضاً بأن يبذل ميقاتي، بما له من علاقات لدى أطراف عدة معنية بهذا الشأن، أن يبذل كل ما لديه من جهد لكي تنتهي هذه القضية بسلامة ويعود المطرانان المخطوفان إلى أبرشيتيهما والى لعب دورهما الوطني في مد الجسور والألفة والمحبة في سورية ، لأنه بالنسبة إلينا خصوصاً نحن السريان نعتبر أن الشعب السوري كله صديقاً لنا، كما نعتبر أن لنا في سورية مثلنا مثل غيرنا محبة وإحترام وتقدير لكل الفئات، آملين أن يتوقف هذا النزيف، وأن تنحو سوريا إلى سلام وأمن وحرية وديموقراطية وحل سياسي يكون ضمانة لسوريين جميعهم".
وتابع أن " هذه رسالتنا ، ونحن سنتابع هذه الجولة مع مختلف الأطراف اللبنانية، آملين من كل من له صوت إيجابي المساعدة على حل يعيد المطرانين دون أي اصطفاف سياسي أو أي إرادة سياسية لأننا لسنا طرفاً في أي صراع في الداخل لكي يعود المسيحيون سكراً في هذا الشرق وملحاً في هذه الأرض".
وعن وجود معلومات جديدة بشأن مكان وجود المطرانين اليازجي وإبراهيم، أوضح أنه" لا وجود لمعلومات مؤكدة أبداً، لا بشأن مصيرهما ولا مكان وجودهما، وأن هناك معلومات كثيرة ومتضاربة ولكن بالنسبة إلينا لسنا مطمئنين، فلم نسمع صوت المطرانين ولم نراهما ولم تدع أي جهة مسؤولياتها، لذلك  نطالب أن نطمئن إلى مصيرهما حتى من الجهات الخاطفة ونعرف لماذا هذا الخطف وماذا يراد من وراء هذا الخطف خصوصاً أن لا ذنب لهما وهما ليسا طرفاً في أي صراع في الداخل السوري".
وتوجه الوفد بعد ذلك للقاء رئيس الوزراء المكلف تمام سلام وعقب اللقاء أعلن المطران صليبا تأييده لسلام للقيام بمهمته الوطنية في تأليف الحكومة في أسرع وقت ممكن.
وأضاف"بحثنا مع الرئيس سلام في موضوع المطرانيين المخطوفين في حلب، اللذين ذهبا ضحية إرهابيين، أناس لا يؤمنون بالله ولا بالقيم ولا بالإسلام ، وباسم الإسلام يتصرفون تصرفاً غير لائق لا بالدين ولا بالإنسانية".
وتابع"تمنينا على الرئيس سلام أن يبذل المساعي الحسنة من أجل تحرير هذين المطرانين بالوسائل المتاحة كافة، والإيجابية، فنحن لا نطلب أي ثأر من أحد وبمجرد الإفراج عن المطرانين تنتهي القضية بالنسبة لنا، فنحن مسيحيون غافرون ومسامحون وفي الوقت ذاته نحن عرب من هذه المنطقة ونحمل رسالة العروبة السامية التي لا تفرق بين مسلم ومسيحي، ووعدنا الرئيس سلام ببذل الجهد في هذا الموضوع ،ونحن نؤكد له أننا سنحفظ لمن يساهم معنا في إطلاق المطرانيين كل الكرامة والوفاء والتقدير

Syriac bishop: Extremism jeopardizes Syrian Christians’ safety

Catholic News Service | May 21, 2013

 By Judith Sudilovsky Catholic News Service 

 JERUSALEM (CNS) — Growing extremism in Syria could jeopardize the safety of all Christians, said Syriac Catholic Bishop Gregoire Melki of Jerusalem.

“It is a very sad situation and we are really anxious,” he told Catholic News Service May 18, following a special prayer service in Jerusalem. “We are very anxious when we remember what happened to the Christians in Iraq. We fear the same thing will happen to the Christians in Syria.

“Those who can, escape,” said Bishop Melki, who said he remains in contact with church leaders in Syria. “For more than two years there has not been a solution (to the violence.) We have to pray.”

Although the situation is dire for all Syrians, it is even more so for the Christians because they are a minority, and in such chaotic situations it is always the minority which is attacked first, he said. He said hoped this would not signal the end of the Christian community in Syria.

“We have the hope of Jesus, that is our faith, but if we look at this with human eyes (we see the situation) is dangerous,” he said.

The heads of Christian churches in Israel attended the 10th prayer service for reconciliation, unity and peace as about 200 local Christians and foreign religious packed the tiny Syriac Catholic Church of St. Thomas. The ceremony was broadcast on closed-circuit TV from the small sanctuary to an adjoining sitting room to accommodate the unusually large numbers of people in attendance.

The church leaders took part in the special Syriac blessing of the water ceremony recited over small bottles of water, later distributed to the worshippers.

In his homily, Bishop Melki said the church in Syria “continues to be a victim of the total chaos and war.”
“We pray fervently day and night for (Christian) unity and peace, especially in Syria, and for the two bishops who have been kidnapped and their release and for others kidnapped elsewhere in the Middle East.”
Syriac Orthodox Bishop Swerios Malki Murad of Jerusalem helped lead the prayer service.

“We, both bishops, and all churches here in Jerusalem, are concerned about the civil war in Syria and the terrible impact it is having on the population and also of course on the Christians,” said Bishop Melki.
As the congregation prayed for peace especially in Syria, two members of the congregation held up a large banner at the entrance of the sanctuary with a picture of the two Orthodox bishops seized by unknown assailants April 22. Their driver was killed during the attack. Two other priests were also kidnapped in February.

“We are powerless and the only thing to do is to pray and give moral and spiritual support to the Christians there to be strong,” Franciscan Father Pierbattista Pizzaballa, custos of the Holy Land, told CNS after the service.

“We have to remember we can’t always be in winter, it can’t rain continuously. Sooner or later the rain will come to an end, and we have to pray to be strong during this period so we can be ready when the sun comes out,” he said.

Wechselvolle Kirchengeschichte der Christen in Syrien

MINDERHEIT - Bischof Dr. Julius Hanna Aydin berichtet bei Evangelischer Studierendengemeinde über Situation in seiner Heimat / Landsleute nach Europa holen

(fod). Die Auseinandersetzungen in Syrien zwischen Regierung und Rebellen bestimmen seit Wochen die Schlagzeilen. Aber nur wenig ist bekannt über die Situation der Menschen im Land, und auch die der christlichen Minderheit. Bei der Evangelischen Studierendengemeinde Gießen (ESG) war jetzt mit Bischof Dr. Julius Hanna Aydin, dem Oberhaupt der syrisch-orthodoxen Kirche für Deutschland, jemand zu Gast, der aus erster Hand berichten konnte. Der Geistliche ging dabei sowohl auf die humanitäre Lage und die der Christen ein als auch auf die Geschichte der syrisch-orthodoxen Kirche in dem vorwiegend islamisch geprägten Staat. Mit rund 50 Besuchern, darunter syrische Studenten, Aramäer aus Gießen und Umgebung, Vertreter anderer Kirchen sowie der Stadt, konnten sich die Veranstalter über eine gute Resonanz freuen.
Nach den Begrüßungsworten von ESG-Hochschulpfarrer Prof. Wolfgang Achtner vermittelte der Bischof einen Überblick der wechselvollen Kirchengeschichte der Christen in Syrien. Diese machen nur etwa zehn Prozent der Gesamtbevölkerung von rund 21 Millionen Einwohnern aus. Laut Aydin wurde die syrisch-orthodoxe Kirche die Jahrhunderte über „zumeist toleriert“, doch gab es auch Zeiten der Unterdrückung und Verfolgung. Unter dem Vater des jetzigen Machthabers Baschar al-Assad hätten sich beide Seiten „gegenseitig in Ruhe gelassen“, habe es ein friedliches Nebeneinander gegeben. Aktuell sei die Lage jedoch schwierig, da Teile der Befreiungsarmee aus Christen bestehen, was viele Moslems ihnen übelnehmen und auch die christliche Gemeinde „untereinander spalten“ würde, so der Geistliche. Und so mische sich seine Kirche nicht in den Konflikt ein, um eigene Gläubige nicht noch mehr zu gefährden.

Dagegen versucht man in Deutschland und weiteren Staaten politisch zu intervenieren, was schon zur Aufnahme von bislang etwa 5000 Kriegsflüchtlingen hier und in anderen europäischen Ländern geführt hat. Zudem werden Lastwagenladungen mit Lebensmitteln zu den Hungernden, die in Syrien bleiben müssen, organisiert. Allerdings wird eine Doppelstrategie gefahren, so gibt es weiterhin Initiativen, noch mehr Landsleute nach Europa zu holen. Dabei befürchtet der Bischof aber auch den „Verlust der Identität“ der christlich-orthodoxen Syrer, wenn künftige Generationen außerhalb der Heimat aufwachsen. In einer anschließenden Diskussionsrunde beantwortete Aydin noch Fragen der Besucher, ließ dabei aber angesichts der schwierigen Situation offen, auf welcher Seite er im politischen und kriegerischen Konflikt steht.

Mor Gabriel Manastır yolu için 1 milyon TL ödenek

 

 
MİDYAT STAR, 20 Mayıs 2013 Pazartesi  10:14

Midyat Kaymakamı Oğuzhan Bingöl, 1612 yıllık tarihi Mor Gabriel Manastırı’na giden yolun yapımı için 1 Milyon TL’lik özel bir ödenek verildiğini açıkladı.

Süryaniler tarafından “İkinci Kudüs” olarak kabul edilen ve Süryani Ortodoks cemaatinin din adamı ihtiyacını karşılayan ayrıca Süryanice’nin yaşatılmasını sağlayan Mor Gabriel (Deyrulumur) Manastırı’nı her yıl binlerce yerli ve yabancı turist görmek için ziyaret ediyor. Tarihi manastıra giden yolunun bozuk ve dar olması dolayısıyla büyük eleştirilere konu olmuştu.

Bunun üzerine Midyat Kaymakamı Oğuzhan Bingöl’ün girişimleriyle yolun yapımı için Maliye Bakanı Batman Milletvekili Mehmet Şimşek ve İçişleri Bakanı Mardin Milletvekili Muammer Güler’de destek verdi. Yolun yapımı, genişletilmesi, yol boyunca çevre düzenlemesi ve ağaçlandırmanın yapılması için Maliye Bakanlığı’ndan 1 Milyon TL’lik kaynak aktarıldı.

Konu ile ilgili açıklama yapan Midyat Kaymakamı Oğuzhan Bingöl, mastırın bozuk yolundan dolayı ben artık manastıra gidip gelmeye utandığını söyledi.

“BOZUK YOLDAN DOLAYI MANASTIRA GİTMEYE UTANIYORDUM”

Süryani vatandaşlara kendilerini yalnız hissetmesinler diye pozitif ayrımcılık yaptığını kaydeden Bingöl, “İlçede göreve başladığı günden bu yana Süryani vatandaşlara kendilerini yalnız hissetmesinler diye hem şahsım hem de kaymakamlık olarak bir pozitif ayrımcılık yapıyorum. Mor Gabriel Manastırı bizim buradaki en önemli değerlerimizden, bizim geçmişimize, kültürüme ve ortak yaşamımıza tanıklık eden nadir yapılardan birisidir. Mastırın yolundan dolayı ben artık manastıra gidip gelmeye utanıyordum. Süryani cemaatinin de yolun yapılması için zaman zaman bizden talepleri oluyordu. Ben en son manastırı ziyaret ettiğimde, ‘yolun yapımı için olumlu bir haber almadığım müddetçe bir daha manastıra gelmeyeceğimi’ Metropolit Sayın Samuel Aktaş beye söylemiştim. Çünkü gerçekten yol kötüydü ve insanlar orayı ziyarete gittiklerinde yolun o halde olduğunu gördüklerinde suçun bizde yani idare de bu olduğunu düşünüyorlardı ki bende öyle düşünüyorum. Bu eleştiriyi artık duymayacağız” dedi.

“MANASTIR YOLU İÇİN ÖZEL BİR ÖDENEK ÇIKARILDI”

Manastır yolunun yapımı için çalışmalara en kısa zamanda başlayacaklarını ifade eden Bingöl, “Maliye Bakanımız Sayın Mehmet Şimşek ve İçişleri Bakanımız Sayın Muammer Güler de bu yolun gerçekten yapılmasına kanaat getirdiler. Yaptığımız girişler neticesinde yolun yapımı ve çevre düzenlemesi için Maliye Bakanlığı’ndan 1 Milyon TL’lik özel bir ödenek çıkarıldı. Manastır yolunu yapıp bitirdiğimizde şehirlerarası bir yoldan çok daha güzel bir konuma gelecek. Şehirlerarası yol standardına kavuşturmak için yolu 8 metre genişleteceğiz. Çevre düzenlemesi de bu projenin içinde yer alacak. En kısa zamanda çalışmalara başlıyoruz ve 3–4 ay içerisinde de bitirmeyi planlıyoruz” şeklinde konuştu
