Ankara municipality registers 136 million-lira budget surplus under opposition mayor

The municipality of Turkish capital Ankara has registered a budget surplus of 136 million liras ($ 24.6 million) in its first 100 days under the leadership of a mayor from the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), left-wing news site Birgün reported on Wednesday.

The Ankara municipality was 8.4 billion liras in debt when opposition mayor Mansur Yavaş took office in April, Birgün said, citing a newly published booklet documenting the new mayor’s first 100 days on the job.
