Youth and Sports Minister Mehmet Muharrem Kasapoğlu made a statement about KYK dormitories. Minister Kasapoğlu announced that KYK dormitories will be at the service of both earthquake victims and students.
Highlights from Minister Kasapoğlu’s speech;
The earthquake process and, of course, the effects of the earthquake, in this sense, I believe that this month will be an opportunity for our entire country to heal the wounds for our citizens affected by the earthquake.
As of February 6, the earthquakes we have experienced one after the other are an earthquake process that unfortunately caused very, very big effects. It is a process in which all possibilities have been put forward as a state, under the leadership of our President, from the first moment of the earthquake. However, of course, it is a very strong example of solidarity of our nation, civil society, state, nation.
The mobilization for housing started from the very first moment. Housing began to rise, on the other hand, steps towards the normal flow of life began to be taken into action one by one.
Both the public and civil society have mobilized from the first moment of the earthquake. In this process, as with other ministries, we, as GSB, put our entire infrastructure for the earthquake process. Thankfully, we have made progress in providing strong support. We have allocated all of our institutional capacity to the needs of the earthquake zone. Every facility belonging to our Ministry, from halls, fields, pools to tennis courts, was allocated to heal the wounds of the earthquake. At present, efforts have been initiated both for the efforts of more than 70 thousand of our friends and for the management of the process in this sense for the service of thousands of our facilities, especially in the earthquake zone.
In this process, our ministry dormitories, like the other facilities of our ministry, have been put into the service of our nation as of now. It continues to work for both shelter and social work.
We have commissioned thousands of new capacities this year. Our dormitories continue on their way as the most widespread Dormitory infrastructure in the world as a model. Contribution to the process of dormitory during the pandemic process, contributions in previous disasters, and also from the moment of the earthquake and in the provinces outside the earthquake zone, we have made our dormitories at the disposal of the nation to prevent victimization due to earthquakes.
Stating that the dormitories will be at the service of students who attend face-to-face education and have internships, Kasapoğlu said, “We will manage this process together in order not to victimize neither a young friend nor an earthquake victim.
