My name is Devran Yener. I am a child of this Antakya.

I am a child of

this place.

Our hometown is the one that was damaged the most, here, Antakya.

Really, there was not one stone left on another here. But thanks to God a

thousand times… … our Antakya has risen to its feet. This earthquake made us

live through everything, we saw everything. We saw the brother, we saw the mother,

we saw the father too. I mean, we were saying we are finished now.

I mean, we were saying this Antakya will

never recover again. Thanks to God a thousand times, our Antakya has risen to its

feet. No matter what anyone says. Look, our state did not leave us abandoned.

Enough houses were built for all

of us. We see it, we go around and see it, for example because we are on the bus.

Cumhuriyet Avenue, Emek Neighborhood.

In the past we could not go up there from here, from over there, we could not even

enter, I mean. Here we are, Vali Göbeği.

Right now we are at

Vali Göbeği. Here you go,

this place was razed to the ground.

We went to Dikmece, We went to Gülderen.

After that, to the Orhanlı TOKİ housing, we went. Now we are going to

the Hancağız TOKİ housing. We are going

everywhere by bus right now, I mean. I mean,

there are TOKİ housing projects everywhere.
