Khaberni - The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan halted his convoy during his visit to the city of Adiyaman to attend the inauguration of a housing project for the benefit of 350,000 earthquake victims, after noticing a 4-month-old infant cradled in his family’s arms.
A video clip showed Erdogan greeting the citizens who had lined up to welcome him enthusiastically, then he suddenly ordered the convoy to stop upon seeing the child Muhammad Fatih Karanfil, approaching the family himself, and taking the infant into his arms, playfully interacting with him.
Erdogan did not only interact with the child playfully, but also gifted him a gold coin as a symbol of blessing, a gesture that prompted applause from the audience, and he also distributed toys to the surrounding children.
Furthermore, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan revealed astonishing figures for the reconstruction project, stating that 200,000 engineers and workers are working around the clock at 3,481 construction sites spread across 11 affected provinces.
Erdogan highlighted the fundamental difference between his government and the opposition, citing the building rates of up to 3 residential units per minute and 23 units per hour, confirming that these projects have changed the face of cities and touched the lives of citizens.
He also announced the allocation of 5,000 new social housing units in Adiyaman as part of the national housing project, with locations identified in all regions of the province. He expressed gratitude to all those involved in the reconstruction projects and blessed the citizens who received their new homes, promising more housing units to be delivered as soon as possible.
