Mayor Güler's historic rebuke to the Greek president: we rebuilt an area the size of Greece

Türkiye ·

Ordu mayor Mehmet Hilmi Güler, speaking at the Council of Europe, responded to remarks minimising Türkiye's post-earthquake work by addressing the Greek president directly. He compared the area destroyed by the 6 February earthquakes to the size of Greece, citing figures on the reconstruction effort.

The February 2023 earthquakes in southern Türkiye and northern Syria caused massive destruction, and rebuilding has since been a major national project in Türkiye. Relations with Greece have long been a sensitive subject.
