he compared Erdoğan to Sultan Suleiman and Murat Kurum to Mimar Sinan.

He is trying to engage in politics and cover up the shortcomings in the earthquake zone with Kanuni–Sinan rhetoric.

What is needed in Hatay, where the wounds of the earthquake have still not been healed for 3 years, is not praise; it is sturdy and inspected buildings, proper planning, transparency, and solutions that must be implemented as soon as possible.

The post-disaster process is managed not with praise, but with responsibility and accountability.

The bones of Sultan Suleiman and Mimar Sinan must be aching..."

BAHÇELİ WHAT DOES HE MEANITIS?

Profiting from disastersis not ethical. The game of putting the state in a difficult position did not work. I thank everyone who contributed to the construction of the century.The reconstruction of the earthquake zoneis a historic success. Those who serve will find support.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is the Suleiman of our day. Murat Kurum is also the Mimar Sinan of our day."
