Ease the visa requirements for earthquake victims in Southern Turkey
Two powerful earthquakes ripped through south-eastern Turkey causing widespread devastation and loss of life. There are many people British-Turkish people from southern- Turkey in the UK particularly Pazarcik and Elbistan which are the epicentre of the two earthquakes.
I would like to invite the British Government to ease the visa requirements for the earthquake victims of southern Turkey to come to UK as a visitor on a temporary visa. The relatives or families of these people may sponsor to them financially and ensuring the UKVI that they do not break any immigration rules and would go back to Turkey after a certain period of time.
This initiative may help people to heal themselves both physically and mentally, and Turkish people never forget this help in this unprecedent times.
