We will wait 2 days for the sunflower. Today, our friends together with TARSİM started the damage assessment for the canola and watermelon fields. There are 4 villages damaged in an area of ​​approximately 35 thousand decares, Ferhadanlı, Hacıköy, Ahmedikli and There are villages in Güvençli, there is no damage in our other villages. We will quickly report the damage determinations we have made to our Presidency. We will try to cover the losses and losses of our farmers with the funds coming from both TARSİM and our Presidency. Regarding this, I request our farmers to immediately apply to TARSİM and our district directorates. Because the payment will be delayed in the areas that will be missing, we will do what is necessary if they reach us quickly. he said.

We have been planting, planting and watering since March. I hope they can support us. Half of them should go from us, half should go from them, but something should be done. We have been sad since the evening. There is nothing to do, we will say thank God, but our sadness is very great. Not only our orchards, but also our sunflowers." "He also left," he said.
