The main points touched upon in the speech;"This time last year, we were experiencing the most intense and hottest moments of the earthquake. We were mobilized with our volunteers in the field, in every corner of the region, to meet the basic needs of our citizens. Our volunteers were breaking iftar together with people affected by the earthquake rather than their own families... At this point, the basic needs in the earthquake region were shaped as socio-cultural activities, vocational courses, child-friendly areas, social areas, skill-based training activities... As we have seen both in the earthquake process and in the humanitarian drama in Gaza, we have seen that civil society structures are the structures that promise hope to humanity in multiple crises."Aldemir mentioned the following in his remarks about Civil Society Organizations and Volunteers;"As individuals who carry out voluntary activities in civil structures, each of us has certain responsibilities regarding society, the environment and humanity..."Lastly, Turgay Aldemir on the fact that our age is open to rapid innovations and changes;"While sidewalks, buildings and cities are being renewed, it is unthinkable for us, the conscience of cities, to stand still.
