During his speech, he promised support for producers whose greenhouses were damaged in the strong winds in the Anamur and Bozyazı districts of Mersin. Erdogan expressed his love for Mersin and said that the country is going to the ballot box with a thud. He also condemned the PKK and said that they will not leave the country to terrorists in the upcoming elections.
