Cost of Turkish presidential palace exceeds TL 5 billion ($2,23 Billion) says TMMOB. (Bugun).

The highly controversial presidential palace has exceeded TL 5 billion in cost, the Ankara office of the Turkish Union of Engineers and Architects’ Chambers (TMMOB) claimed on Wednesday.

Underlining that the real cost of “Ak Saray” is not TL 1.4 billion, Ankara office chairman for the TMMOB, Tezcan Karakuş Candan claimed according to the calculation cost of the complex exceeds TL 5 billion.

Reminding that the first lady Emine Erdoğan held a lunch for representatives of nongovernmental organizations (NGOS) on Wednesday at the presidential palace, Candan said “Each one of the gold foil glasses on the table costs TL 1 thousand. It means the cost of one glass is equal to one worker’s salary.

A 4,000 square meter carpet was ordered for the palace. Each square meter of carpet cost TL 100. In total it cost TL 400,000. The cost of carpet is equal to a month's salary from 600 teachers.” Hmmm.....Proverbs 16:18-19 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud..Read the full story here.
