AK Party Kayseri Deputy Ayşe Böhürler visited the tomato paste boiling area in Evliyalar Park in the Mimarsinan neighborhood as part of Melikgazi Municipality's highly popular Tomato Paste Days event.

Melikgazi Mayor Assoc. Prof. Dr. Özcan stated that they have served thousands of citizens by holding Tomato Paste Days events in three different areas of Melikgazi: Belsin, Eskişehir Bağları, and Mimarsinan. Mustafa Palancıoğlu accompanied AK Party Kayseri Deputy Ayşe Böhürler on her visit and provided information about the service.

“4,000 citizens benefit from this service every year!”

1.5 months in tomato paste boiling areas Mayor Palancıoğlu, stating that they have been providing 24/7 service with 150 employees throughout the year, said, “We hosted our esteemed Deputy at the Tomato Paste Days in our Mimar Sinan Evliyalar District. We have been bringing this wonderful event to our citizens for eight years. We have been providing this service 24/7 for 1.5 months with our 150 employees in three areas of Melikgazi: the Mimar Sinan Evliyalar District, Eskişehir Bağları, and Kocatepe Neighborhood. Our citizens are truly pleased with this service. Every year, 3,500-4,000 families benefit from this service, and they are all very satisfied. Sausages are made and potatoes are roasted in a picnic atmosphere. Our citizens particularly prefer the night time for cooler hours, but our area is always fully booked during the day. Our colleagues work with a reservation system. I thank all our colleagues. It is a very arduous and difficult process. Providing 24/7 service with 150 personnel is a rarity in Turkey. By moving the facility from a soot-soaked, dirty, and noisy environment in gardens and under houses to a very pleasant and pleasant environment, we have solved this problem. It has been operating for eight years and, God willing, will continue to grow. I thank the Deputy for his visit. he said.

Deputy Böhürler: “A Great Service!”

AK Party Kayseri Deputy Ayşe Böhürler stated that it was wonderful that the whole family was included in the tomato paste boiling event during the 2025 Year of the Family. She thanked Mayor Palancıoğlu and said the following: He said:

“ We saw once again that making homemade, hand-made tomato paste is not that easy. Although our President has made it easier, with this system here, it really requires effort. These pastes are supposedly boiled for eight hours. They boil in copper cauldrons, and the copper cauldrons are constantly tinned. As far as I can see, our 150 employees here serve all our citizens, from cutting the tomatoes to chopping them and washing them. It's truly a wonderful service, a labor of love. On the other hand, I saw family solidarity. It's wonderful that the whole family is involved in such a family-oriented activity, a tomato-boiling activity, during the family year. A slightly cooler night would probably make it easier, but our President has made this labor-intensive, hand-made tomato paste easier, and it's a great gift to our citizens. "You provided great service. I thank you for that, and I'm happy to see you here. Everyone is very pleased. Even those who came for the fifth or third time are very pleased. This was great service. Thank you."
