“We will build 650,000 apartments and houses” promises the Turkish president for the earthquake affected areas.

“According to our design. In the earthquake affected areas we will build a total of 650,000 apartments and houses. In the first year, 319,000 will be completed. We will build 50,000 apartments and another 23,640 houses in Antiyaman city alone. We will not leave any of our citizens affected by the earthquake to their fate, everyone will get a home” Erdogan said characteristically.

However, the opposition accuses him of showing… models, such as the non-existent foundations of the… miniature hospital he presented.

For his part, in his pre-election spot, the leader of the opposition Kemal Kilicdaroglu promises to bring spring and satiate the Turks.

The lyrics of Kilicdaroglu’s pre-election advertisement

“I promise you spring will come again, I promise you hope will not end. I promise, I promise.

I promise you a Turkey that loves the different as it is, that does not insult the other, that does not turn away but embraces. A Turkey that is full, that loves life. A Turkey that trusts science, art and the future.

A Turkey that will sing its most beautiful songs freely. We are coming for a Turkey whose joy will be seen in the eyes of its children.

I promise you spring will come again.

I promise you spring will come again, I promise you hope will never end. I promise, I promise.

I promise you spring will come again, and Mr. Kemal will not go back on his promise.”
