Erdoğan names factor to unite all regions of Turkey

President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, addressing the participants of the Konya-Karaman high-speed railway's opening ceremony on Saturday, said that the fast and high-speed rail system would soon unite all regions of Turkey.

He further noted that the new expressway would allow trains to reduce travel time (102 km) between the two provinces of Anatolia from 2 hours 40 minutes to 40 minutes.

Besides, Erdoğan announced that the new train would reduce energy costs, and thereby save the budget 63 million lira per year.

The President also added that after the completion of the construction of high-speed tracks in the direction of the provinces of Mersin, Adana, Osmaniye and Gaziantep, a single system of high-speed railway lines will be created, plying between the regions of the Sea of ​​Marmara, Inner Anatolia and the Mediterranean strip of Turkey.
