President and Justice and Development (AK) Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed citizens at the party’s rally in Malatya.

Stating that he remember with grace the 53 thousand citizens who lost their lives in Malatya and other cities during the February 6 earthquakes, President Erdoğan noted that nearly 78 thousand residential units, over 25 thousand village houses and more than 27 thousand barns and commercial areas were damaged in the disaster of the century in the city.

Reminding that they sent nearly 85 thousand tents to the city and built over 36 thousand containers to meet the temporary accommodation needs, President Erdoğan said that as a results of the works carried out a total of 70 thousand beneficiaries, 20 thousand of them in rural areas, have been identified.

“WE ARE OVERCOMING THE DISASTER OF THE CENTURY WITH THE SOLIDARITY OF THE CENTURY”

Drawing attention to the huge cost of the earthquake disaster Türkiye has suffered on top of the tens of terrorist acts, the coup attempt and overt/covert embargoes it has faced, President Erdoğan stressed: “It is not easy to overcome such casualties and such a heavy damage our cities have suffered. If any other country in the world experienced what we did, undoubtedly, it will take decades for them to recover. Thanks be to Allah, we are overcoming the disaster of the century with the solidarity of the century.”
