(MENAFN) At a bus station in Antakya, a town was destroyed by Turkey’s shocking earthquake, emotions still raw and voters separated in front of Sunday’s pivotal votes.
The Yener family’s building partly fallen in February’s 7.8-magnitude earthquake, which caused the death of over 50,000 citizens and released a wave of anger at the administration’s postponed rescue and rebound effort.
Such as many others obligated to escape their houses in this ancient cradle of civilizations close to the Syrian border, they went back to participate in Turkey’s the most massive vote of modern times.
Metin Yener and his spouse Zubeyde are going to join the elections for Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the secular competitor to long-serving Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose administration is battling to remain in his position.
“These elections are important. We have hope,” Metin declared with a smile, while his family waited at the station following a five-hour braving bus trip.
