A first in Altındağ Municipality... Kezban Işık (52), the first female driver of Altındağ Municipality Garage Department, started working. Those who saw Işık in the driver's seat could not hide their surprise. Stating that he has been actively driving for 24 years, Işık said, "I received the most support from women. My advice to all women is to be courageous. If they dare, there is nothing they cannot do..." 

"I WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR MAYOR FOR GIVING THIS OPPORTUNITY"
The biggest support comes from women and Altındağ Mayor Dr. Stating that he saw it from Veysel Tiryaki, Işık said, "My children are also proud of me. They say you are our idol. When I first started, I received positive reactions from my close circle. They said, 'You will succeed.' They say they are happy when they see me behind the wheel at the municipality. My colleagues also support me a lot. It is also very important that my colleagues are good... Thank you, they are always with me. I gave my daughter her first driving lesson. She drives well too. Our women should not be afraid, they should have courage and get out of their comfort zone. At the municipality, "I am very pleased to work as a driver. I would like to thank our Mayor of Altındağ, Veysel Tiryaki, for giving me this opportunity, for his support," he said. 
Işık described his adventure in obtaining a driver's license with the following words: 
"My grandfather was a driver. I have been interested in driving since a very young age... I was also interested in driving. In 1997, I saw that a driving school was opened near my home. I told my mother that I was enrolled in a driving school. She did not approve very well. After my mother's behavior, I became more ambitious. I successfully passed the exams and got my driver's license. I saved up and bought my first car. I have always earned my life through difficulties. Everything does not end with getting a driver's license. Knowledge and experience are very important... Long-distance experience and active driving to gain experience. I can drive all kinds of cars, including trucks." 

OTHER DRIVERS ARE SATISFIED WITH THE SITUATION…
Other drivers working at the Altındağ Municipality Garage Headquarters are also very pleased with the situation... Driver İsmail Ünal said that the order and courtesy in the garage increased after Kezban Işık took office and said, "It was very good to have Kezban Abla among us. We had never had a female driver work among us before. We found it strange at first, but then we got used to it. Order came to the garage. She drives very well and acts like a big sister to us. We are very pleased that she works with us in the garage." 

"WE DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT OUR WOMEN" 
Altındağ Mayor Dr. emphasized once again that they support the women of Altındağ in every field. Veysel Tiryaki said, "We have been doing everything we can for years to support our women in every corner of Altındağ. I know dozens of women who first learned to read and write, received primary and secondary school diplomas, and then managed to get a driver's license... They graduated from high school, even graduated from university and got a job... It is our duty to support our women who have determination and courage..." 
Mayor Tiryaki said, "It is a first in the history of Altındağ Municipality for Ms. Kezban to serve as a garage manager. She is a good example that women can handle anything if they are given the chance and supported. I congratulate her determination and courage and wish her safe driving without any accidents."
