A large-scale earthquake has occurred with its epicenter in Pazarcık district of Kahramanmaraş.
The earthquake has affected 10 cities in the region and even neighboring countries to our southern borders.
We extend our condolences to all our citizens who lost their lives and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.
We hope that the necessary support will be provided as soon as possible to every citizen affected by the earthquake, which has taken place under extraordinary winter conditions and which has broken our hearts.
