The Presidential Complex ((トルコ語:Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kompleksi)) is the presidential palace of the Republic of Turkey. The complex is located in Beştepe neighborhood of Ankara, inside Atatürk Forest Farm. In accordance with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's "New Turkey" concept, it is envisaged that the Çankaya Presidential Mansion will become the Prime Ministerial compound and the president will move to the newly built palace. This occurred soon after the June 2015 general election, when the palace was officially made the residence of the President of Turkey. It was formally inaugurated as the official residence of the President by Erdoğan on the country's Republic Day, October 29, 2014. Erdogan suggested to use ''Cumhurbaşkanlığı Külliyesi'', referring to Millet Mosque in the complex. This was formally adopted as the complex's new name on 3 July 2015.〔http://www.birgun.net/haber-detay/kacak-saray-in-adi-resmen-degisti-84286.html〕 The building cost was double the initial estimate or more than 600 million USD. On 10 July 2015, the Turkish Council of State found that the construction of the palace violated the law and ordered it to be vacated.〔http://www.cumhuriyet.com.tr/haber/turkiye/318741/_Kacak_Saray_in_kacacak_yeri_kalmadi_.html〕 ==History== The palace was initially constructed to serve as the office of the Prime Minister. After Recep Tayyip Erdoğan won the August 2014 presidential election, he announced on September 2, 2014, that the building will be used as the new seat of the Presidency. The building was constructed inside the Atatürk Forest Farm (AOÇ), which was established by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in 1925. In 1937, the ''Mareşal'' donated the farm to the state. In 1992 the farm was designated a first-degree protected site meaning that no construction should be done within its territory. On March 4, 2014, an administrative court in Ankara ordered the suspension of the palace's construction. The suspension order was supported by the Council of State on March 13. Erdoğan ignored the decision, saying "Let them tear it down if they can. They ordered suspension, yet they can't stop the construction of this building. I'll be opening it; I'll be moving in and using it". Finance minister Mehmet Şimşek, quoted by Turkey's ''Hurriyet'' newspaper, said the construction cost of the palace would be 1.37bn ($615m), most of which had already been spent but another $135m had been budgeted for it in 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Erdogan presidential palace cost soars for Turkey )〕 In December 2014, Turkey's state-owned Housing Development Administration (TOKİ) refused to divulge the actual construction cost on the grounds that releasing the information could hurt Turkey's economy, citing Article 17 of the Law on the Provision of Information. Tezcan Candan, head of the Turkish Chamber of Architects' Ankara branch, said the final cost could be over 5 billion liras.〔Divulging cost of Ak Saray would hurt Turkey’s economy, housing administration says. Hurriyet Daily News, December 3, 2014. ()〕 Pope Francis was the first head of state hosted at the new Presidential Palace on 28 November 2014, during his visit to Turkey. On 1 December 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin was the second foreign guest welcomed with the ceremony in front of the new palace. A welcoming ceremony for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on 12 January 2015 attracted controversy after President Erdoğan was pictured flanked by members of the presidential guard dressed in historic warrior costumes. Intended to represent the military costumes of 16 Turkic states, comments about their historical inaccuracy resulted in a viral social media joke about the guards at the presidential palace. The dean of Pamukkale University's Faculty of Medicine, Professor Hasan Herken, who tweeted "Do you know which Turkic state that man wearing a bathrobe represents?", later resigned his position after receiving death threats and protests by local youth branches of the AK Party.〔Dean says resigned after receiving threats over tweet critical of guard’s costume ()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Presidential Complex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
