President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made statements at the ceremony for the drawing of lots for the 300,000th Disaster Housing, the handover of keys, and the collective opening of completed investments.

Highlights from President Erdoğan's statements are as follows:

"Through you, I send my greetings and love to each of my brothers in our Malatya's 13 districts. I convey my greetings to our brothers in Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, and Adıyaman who are following us. I congratulate our A National Volleyball Team and A National Basketball Team for their results. I wish success to our A National Football Team in the match against Spain.

ERDOĞAN: WE ARE HANDING OVER THE KEY TO THE 300,000TH HOUSE IN MALATYA

Today, we are handing over the key to our 300,000th house. Today, we also take pride in inaugurating our new investments. I hope that every citizen who is entitled can live in these homes with peace of mind. I thank each of my brothers who contributed to the construction of these houses, from the architect to the worker.

We are in the land of Battal Gazi. As always, I thank the people of Malatya who embrace us once again. Just as a lover is happy when reunited with their beloved, we are also happy. Until today, regardless of the conditions, we have never neglected Malatya. We have not wasted the affection shown to us. We have served the people of Malatya with love. From now on, we will continue to work for you with the same passion.

"THERE ARE 52,000 PEOPLE ON THE FIELD"

One of the provinces most affected by the earthquakes on February 6 was Malatya. We are burying 53,737 of our loved ones from 11 provinces in the ground with tears in our hearts. I once again pray for mercy from Allah for our earthquake martyrs. Today, there are 52,000 people on the field. I wish patience to those left behind from my Lord.

The pain of February 6 has become our concern. We felt this in the depths of our hearts. This concern taught us to start anew. We said we would work hand in hand with our nation to rebuild our cities. All institutions of our state worked 24/7. We cleared the rubble in a short time. We managed to revive hopes from scratch.

"WE ARE PROVIDING HOMES TO 2 OUT OF EVERY 3 ENTITLED CITIZENS"

You can see what has been done, what has been achieved, and the effort put forth. We are happy to keep the promises we made in the squares. In June, we had given the 250,000th house to our earthquake-affected brothers. The majority of the keys have been handed over to the rightful owners. Our work continues at full speed. Today, we are handing over the key to the 300,000th house in Malatya. We are once again disappointing the earthquake tourists who are waiting to see when the government will be under this rubble. We are providing homes to 2 out of every 3 entitled citizens.

"43,408 ENTITLED CITIZENS IN MALATYA ARE RECEIVING THE KEYS TO THEIR HOMES"

With today's ceremony, we are drawing lots for a total of 9,039 houses in provincial and district centers. Thus, 43,408 entitled citizens in Malatya are receiving the keys to their homes. Work continues in our other cities.

In this way, we are exceeding the 300,000 limit, providing over 304,000 homes and workplaces to our citizens, including 295,929 houses. God willing, we aim to complete 453,000 independent units by the end of the year. We will work until not a single citizen remains without a new home or workplace. Today, we are also inaugurating 41 new investments. With these investments, totaling 5 billion 940 million, we are giving a new face to our Malatya.

We are presenting these services and facilities that touch the lives of the people of Malatya to your service. I wish these works to be beneficial once again. I sincerely congratulate our ministries, our metropolitan municipality, and other institutions that contributed to these investments.

"THE CLOSURE OF NEIGHBORHOODS IS NOT AN OPTION"

In April, we experienced a frost event. It also harmed apricot production in Malatya. We made payments of 3.1 billion liras to those with agricultural insurance. We will make payments of 3.8 billion liras to our producers who do not have insurance. May it be beneficial.

Our agenda is only to serve the country. It is to provide you with safe homes. It is for Malatya and other provinces to receive the investments they deserve. It is to free us from the scourge of terrorism forever. We are working with patience, sincerity, and cool-headedness. As we approach our destination, the intensity of attacks has also begun to increase. On one hand, they are trying to disturb our martyrs and veterans with baseless news. The closure of neighborhoods is absolutely not an option.

"WAR AND TERROR BARONS WILL NOT ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS"

The organization is provoking and supporting its extensions in Syria. They are activating all the apparatuses under their control. Their goals are clear: to slow down the ongoing process. There is one thing they do not know. We are very, very well-trained. With God's permission, we will not fall into the trap they are trying to set. We will not sacrifice the process we have woven thread by thread. Enough is enough. War and terror barons will not achieve their goals.

Our brotherhood will increase, and new doors will open for Turkey and the region. We have not taken and will not take any steps that would hurt or disturb our martyrs and veterans.

"WE ARE LEAVING CHP MEMBERS TO BYZANTINE GAMES"

You can see the miserable state of the main opposition. None of these issues are on the agenda of these gentlemen. Occasionally, they find their way to Europe, and at that time, their job is to complain about us.

A handful of municipal plunderers who pillage the people's money. They are making statements that are absolutely unworthy of Turkish politics and its position.

This person started talking, and parents began to change the channel. His concern for the fish in Sinop did not convince anyone, including his own voters. Bay Kemal, his predecessor, was the same. He also targeted our tank factory. Now he is silent. He received such a slap from the nation that he still hasn't recovered. One gets hit, the other gets hit. We are leaving the CHP members to their Byzantine games. We continue to run for Turkey. I wish all our investments and homes to be beneficial for all our fellow citizens from Malatya.
