Erdogan pledges to deliver earthquake homes in 1 year
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has announced that Turkey will release its natural gas on April 20, if everything goes according to plan. The President made the announcement after being asked about the integration of the Black Sea natural gas into the domestic system during a visit to the Ali Mosque in Istanbul.
In addition to discussing natural gas integration, the President also spoke about progress being made in the construction of new homes for those affected by the recent earthquakes in Turkey. Speaking at the same event, President Erdoğan promised that the government would deliver new homes within a year, as part of the rebuilding efforts underway in all of the affected provinces. He also noted that the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization is working intensely on this issue, with ground surveys and debris removal taking place at various sites.
President Erdoğan also discussed the state of the city hospitals in Turkey, highlighting the progress that has taken place in recent years. He noted that many of these hospitals were in a sorry state when he first became president, and that considerable improvements had been made since then. He touted the fact that Turkish city hospitals have surpassed those in Cleveland, saying that they offer world-class facilities and services that are the envy of many countries around the world.
In another development, the President said that Turkey is taking steps to install seismic isolators in most of its hospitals. He said that many hospitals already have these devices installed, which can help prevent damage and injury in the event of an earthquake. The President added that the government will continue to make seismic safety a priority in all future hospital investments.
Overall, the President’s statements reflect the government’s ongoing commitment to improving the lives of all Turkish citizens, while also working to ensure the nation’s long-term stability and security. With these efforts underway, Turkey is well-positioned to emerge even stronger from the challenges it faces today.
