President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin issued a statement in connection with the earthquake of magnitude 7.7 that occurred in Turkey.

After the Kahramanmarash earthquakes, which is called the “catastrophe of the century”, Turkey is trying to heal the wounds of the destruction experienced, while the world is experiencing activity. Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Russian government to “permanently monitor seismically hazardous areas of the country.”

The two earthquakes on February 6 destroyed thousands of buildings and killed at least 46,000 people. While aftershocks continued in the region after a major earthquake in 11 cities, the whole world took action to heal the wounds of the earthquake victims in the region and support search and rescue efforts. One of these countries was Russia.
