Estimated damage as a result of earthquakes in Turkey is about $ 80 billion, according to Sabah, this was stated by the country’s Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Vahit Kirisci.
According to him, the financial losses of the Water Resources Authority alone could increase even more when the time comes to start irrigating crop areas with a pressurized water system. In addition, the regions affected by the disaster began to produce 40% less products for export, Kirishchi said. The Minister also noted that the share of the provinces that survived the disaster in the total volume of Turkish exports was about 15.5%, but now it has decreased to 10%.
Recall that on February 6, an earthquake of magnitude 7.7 occurred in Turkey, followed by a series of weaker tremors. The disaster also affected Syria. The number of victims of the earthquake in Turkey exceeded 46.1 thousand. According to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the disaster was the most devastating in the history of the country.
