Ahead of the NATO summit scheduled for July 7-8 in Ankara, Turkish municipal crews have been repainting residential buildings along the anticipated route for NATO delegations. This cosmetic improvement, offered free of charge to residents, is part of broader preparations for the international event. Preparations also encompass heightened security protocols and limitations on public gatherings. Many public sector employees have been granted administrative leave during the summit. The repainting initiative aims to present an improved aesthetic for visiting dignitaries. Turkish media reports indicate this is a focused effort along the airport route. The summit is expected to draw significant attention to Ankara.
