HDP (Peoples' Democratic Party) deputy Tülay Hatimoğulları, who is in Hatay to offer help for the earthquake victims, raised concern over the widespread disinformation in the earthquake-hit areas.

The HDP MP said “I would like to address all our people affected by the earthquake. There is rampant disinformation and fake news. Of course, we should take our security measures against looting, but one of the goals of disinformation is to accelerate migration, especially around Antakya, Samandağ and Defne.”

She added: “We will not migrate; we will not leave our lands. As survivors, let us never lose our hopes to render this place prosperous again and let us continue our struggle for life. Please, no one should choose migration unless they have valid grounds, unless they have a patient. Let's stay in our hometowns and build new living spaces together again.”
