Turkey faced forest fires on these hot summer days. The consecutive fires in Manavgat, Bodrum, Marmaris, Didim, Antalya, Kocaeli, Osmaniye, Adana, Kayseri, Karaman, Diyarbakır, İzmir, Bursa, Hatay, Kastamonu, Kahramanmaraş, Sakarya, and Ankara, while Turkey's oxygen reservoir burned our forests, homes, domestic and forest creatures. It also burned the lungs of our country.

The Marmara Group Foundation is in deep sorrow for our lost property, as well as for our lost pets and forest creatures in this tragic event. We share the great pain of our people. We also feel the pain of our lost pet friends and forest creatures in our hearts. The lungs of our country burned.
