As a result, the door of my humble house is wide open for one family. We would be honoured to share our bread and heart. I would like to offer my deepest respect and esteem for your acceptance.”
“- First of all, I would like to express my condolences to our citizens who lost their lives in the earthquake that hit Elazığ and Malatya and a speedy recovery to the wounded survivors of the earthquake. Our heart and soul have been locked onto Elazığ and Malatya since the earthquake occurred. I may be in Ankara as a distance, but I am there with my heart and prayers. I have no doubt that all facilities of our state have been mobilized. As a citizen, I am saying with all my sincerity that I am ready to do my part for Elazığ and Malatya. Our heart and feelings are there.”
“- Mr. President, we hope Allah will never separate us. The earthquake that occurred in our Elazığ province deeply injured our entire country. Mr. President, my wife Fatma Sarılı and I live in the Çukurova district of Adana province. We would like to take care of a family who are left homeless as a result of the earthquake in Elazığ. We want to take care of a family you see fit. May Allah protect you.”
“- I cannot stop thinking about the children who were harmed the most by the earthquake in Elazığ. As a Düzce University student at the Department of Child Care and Youth Services, I would like to go to a kindergarten or a tent to take care of the children there. I would like to express my thanks in advance.”
