The Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, Murat Kurum, continues to closely monitor the construction activities in the earthquake zone. Minister Kurum meets with regional members of parliament and mayors from different political parties in coordination meetings in the cities he visits. In August, Minister Kurum held a coordination meeting with local administrators in Hatay regarding the latest situation in the earthquake zone.
"WE OWE THANKS ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE OF HATAY"
Speaking at the meeting, İYİ Party Hatay Deputy Adnan Şefik Çirkin thanked Minister Kurum for the work in the city and said:
"First of all, I thank you for your valuable services. On behalf of the people of Hatay, we owe this thanks. Really, very correct and proper services are being provided. We also know that you sometimes take risks in these services to reduce bureaucracy."
Deputy Çirkin stated that requests for a memorial for the earthquake in the city were discussed, saying, "My personal opinion is that we want to forget this earthquake. We do not want a memorial. The biggest memorial of the earthquake is these buildings. Therefore, we thank you. The people of Hatay have suffered a lot. I think seeing that memorial will hurt them."
CHP MAYOR: THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF HOUSES ARE BEING BUILT
Speaking at the same meeting, CHP Defne Mayor Halil İbrahim Özgün also commented on the houses being built, saying, "As much as possible, we have had a harmonious process with you until now. Mr. Minister, thank you for your efforts; indeed, hundreds of thousands of houses are being built. Additionally, the historical Antakya region's Uzun Çarşı is looking very beautiful. Thank you for your efforts," he said. Mayor Özgün requested garbage containers for new settlement areas during the meeting. Minister Kurum directed the ministry officials to ensure that the request is examined by the Governorship and necessary actions are taken.
