Reminding that he went to the earthquake zone shortly after February 6, Mayor Ceritoğlu Sengel said; “As a citizen who went to the earthquake area, I say that it was impossible to explain what we saw. According to the information we received, Hatay has still not recovered. One of the most important principles should be that we will not experience such pain again, and that the problems there are solved as soon as possible. As a matter of fact, the citizen went through a period where he felt very lonely. I hope the problems will be solved as soon as possible. "My condolences to our country again," he said.
Council members also commemorated the February 6 Earthquake and expressed their hope that such pain would never happen again.
