SMEs that document their damage and are registered with the relevant commissions will access interest-free loans of up to 1 million lira under this program. We hope that these loans, which will be granted with a 24-month grace period and a 12-month grace period, will contribute to the fight of our companies in these difficult days. May God have mercy on our citizens who lost their lives in the disasters we experienced and I wish a speedy recovery to our injured citizens. May God protect our country and nation from all kinds of disasters.” (AA)
