Pointing out that the rights of earthquake victims to receive legal support were blocked, Okumuşoğlu said,
“We have come here to defend the rights of earthquake victims and to explain what Adıyaman Bar Association is doing for them and the services available to the victims. Everyone has a lot of questions about their homes, their dead, and insurance. Tenants, and landlords are wondering how to seek their lawful rights. We are on the ground to provide this legal information.”
