I am looking forward to our return to Van once the winter is over. Big thanks to Mayor Baydemir who shared his house with us.”
Following the visit to earthquake victims, Baydemir gave information about a new campaign the Municipality has launched jointly with district municipalities with the name ‘I am sharing my meal with the people of Van’.
