We lived with patriotism in our hearts. We are a warm and welcoming home. The crescent and the star are etched in our hearts. We are the centuries, millennia, and future generations. We are Türkiye."
"We will strengthen the spirit of solidarity even further"
Presidency's Director of Communications Fahrettin Altun stated in his remarks about the campaign that the earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş on February 6, which directly affected 14 million people, caused great destruction and suffering.
Altun emphasized that the state and the nation acted with one heart from the first moment of the disaster of the century. Altun also noted the following:
"Under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, all our institutions and organizations mobilized for search and rescue and relief efforts in the region. Our state and nation displayed the solidarity of the century, setting an example for the rest of the world in an effort to alleviate the indescribable suffering of our brothers in the earthquake zone, heal their wounds, and courageously and resolutely respond to the devastation caused by the disaster. We will strengthen this spirit of solidarity even further. We will work with all our might, day and night, to leave these painful days behind, to heal Türkiye’s wounds, to return our citizens to their homes as quickly as possible, and to recover and reconstruct the region."
