Underscoring that the delivery of the post-earthquake houses was crowning the friendship between Türkiye and Albania, President Erdoğan said: “Through the post-earthquake houses we built, we ensure that 522 families in this area live the rest of their lives in peace and security. I wish that the post-earthquake houses, which we have gathered to hold the delivery ceremony of, may lead to auspicious outcomes for the residents of the city of Laç. I wish that you may peacefully and healthily live in these houses with your families and loved ones for the rest of your lives. I congratulate all, from engineers to workers, contractor companies and all our institutions, particularly the Ministry of Environment and TİKA, that contributed to the completion of this project. I thank Albanian officials in the person of my treasured friend Edi Rama for the support they provided during the process.”
