We planned to rebuild hundreds of thousands buildings: Erdoğan

DİYARBAKIR

"We've planned to rebuild hundreds of thousands of buildings," President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Feb. 11, in the earthquake-hit province of Diyarbakır. 

''We will start taking concrete steps within a few weeks," Erdoğan added, following two devastating earthquakes that affected 10 provinces in Türkiye. 

"We've declared a state of emergency. It means that, from now on, the people involved in looting should know that the state's firm hand is on their backs," he added.
