31.05.2019

 With a view to reaffirming agreements reached in January 2019 with the Istanbul’s Bakırköy Municipality (Consulate General’s area of location), on 31 May 2019 the Belarusian consular mission played host to another meeting between Aleksei Shved, Consul General of the Republic of Belarus in Istanbul, and Dr Bülent Kerimoğlu, Mayor of Bakırköy.


The Mayor of Bakırköy indicated that the Municipality made a move to allocate a park area in central Bakırköy which will be named as Belarusian Park in September 2019.


The parties agreed that arrangements will be made for a Bülent Kerimoğlu’s working visit to Minsk in June 2019 to meet with the senior officials of Sovietsky District of the Belarusian capital city and talk through matters concerning a twinning agreement between the two municipalities. The meeting saw discussion of the agenda for such co-operation.


The Municipality of Bakırköy reiterated it was interested in developing ties with the Belarusian community and ready to provide organizational and logistical support to the related events and functions. In this regard the Municipality embarked on seeking a property which might be a venue for the Belarusian community association set to emerge in Istanbul.


The parties also explored a few issues in cultural co-operation and agreed to maintain ongoing contact on the points they have raised.
