regions. Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Today, 70 provinces were there, we had 363 chambers
and commodity exchanges, 43 of them were in the region, when I looked at the
others in the region, everyone from all our cities and districts to the
disaster areas pitched in. Everyone will send whatever is needed so far our
community has sent close to 5,000 trucks, 6 aircraft and 7 ships to the region
carrying 5,700 tents 1,418 containers as of now 4,000 generators 120,000
heaters have been sent. Our mobile kitchens are working there, and I hope that
in the month of Ramadan, we will have food at suhoor and iftar.”
Stating that work
should be carried out for the revival of the economy of the earthquake regions,
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Let's do whatever we have the opportunity to do. There
are new works and projects that we will contribute to here. In particular, we
contribute to e-commerce marketplaces to market their goods to other provinces
with zero commission from this region. We need to support these provinces, we
need to restore the economic activity there because it covers almost 11 percent
of the Turkish economy, we need to support them.”
