Crisis Commissioner Janez Lenarcic Meets with Ilhan Kyuchyuk and Assures Timely European Response to the Crisis
In a letter to the President of the European Council Charles Michel and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, Bulgarian MEPs from the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF), Ilhan Kyuchyuk, Iskra Mihaylova, and Atidje Aliyeva-Veli, called for support for the victims of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, as well as a strong European response and solidarity for the affected regions.
“Turkey and Syria have suffered significant damage from earthquakes throughout their history, but the earthquake on February 6th was the largest recorded in Turkey in the last century. Humanitarian aid is urgently needed for the affected areas, and it must be delivered immediately to provide support in the search for survivors under the rubble and to restore basic infrastructure in the affected regions. All of us who are part of the European Union must fulfill our historical responsibility and increase our support for the victims of this devastating disaster. Therefore, as members of the European Parliament, we are ready to support all joint efforts for this purpose,” the letter addressed to the Presidents of the European Commission and the European Council states.
The letter has been sent to all MEPs in an effort to gather maximum support.
Last night, Ilhan Kyuchyuk held a meeting with the European Commissioner for Crisis Management, Janez Lenarcic. Lenarcic assured that the EU would mobilize and provide timely financial and humanitarian assistance to Syria and Turkey. According to him, Europe will respond promptly to the crisis with substantial support for the earthquake victims in both countries.
Meanwhile, the leader of the European Liberals, Ilhan Kyuchyuk, initiated a large-scale campaign on behalf of ALDE, which saw thousands of donors participating within hours.
