A YEAR AGO HE LIVED HIS NIGHTMARE

Cetin, who took over as the provincial chairman on July 7, lost his dentist wife, Aylin Dilbaz Çetin, and his pharmacy student son, Mehmet Fevzi Çetin, in the February 6 earthquakes.

Meeting with the firefighter who rescued him from the rubble in September, Çetin had said, “The efforts and sacrifices you showed during the February 6 earthquakes are undeniable. Thanks to the hard work of our firefighter teams, I was able to be rescued from the rubble and today I can thank you here.”
