"It was a really nice thing that the dormitories were open during the earthquake," said Gök, adding, "I was in Hatay during the earthquake. I stayed in a tent for 1 month. Knowing that I have a homeland here, being constantly called and told, 'You can come whenever you want'... I couldn't stand that psychology anymore. And I came here and started working a part-time job. I lost my mind. Believe me; After staying in a tent for so long, sleeping in a warm bed feels so valuable. "I really thank you for this," he said.
İmamoğlu, on the other hand, conveyed his 'get well soon' wishes to Gök and promised that he would be in Hatay on February 6, 2024, the anniversary of the earthquake.
