Erdogan’s message is as follows;
Regardless of their political views, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all my brothers and sisters in the earthquake zone who went to the polls after the great disaster on February 6 and showed their choice through democratic means. Your will manifested in the ballot box has a place on our heads. Our duty is to serve you with love without any discrimination, and we have done this for 21 years. We reject the fury of resentment and hatred carried out by certain circles against our wounded people, just because the results they expected did not come out. Praise be to God, the state and the nation join hands and heal our wounds quickly. We have completed the installation of more than 910 thousand tents and 117 thousand containers in our earthquake provinces, and we have put our nearly 13 thousand workplaces into operation. To date, we have started the construction process of 175,000 independent sections. We have put our Hatay Defne State Hospital into your service within 57 days, which the opposition has talked about over a distorted photographic frame. I hope we will start bringing you to your new homes, just like the next October-November. We will build a total of 650 thousand disaster houses, 319 thousand of which will be in the first year. Keep your heart open, please do not be sad, never be pessimistic. Continue to protect your cities and embrace life with all four hands. We are with you. By Allah’s leave, we will never leave you alone, and we will not make you needy.
Regardless of their political views, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all my brothers and sisters in the earthquake zone who went to the polls after the great disaster on February 6 and showed their choice through democratic means.
