In the image in front of the grocery carts, Erdoğan says, "Tell me how the prices are. Are they not affordable?" 

"We have solved the problem of our citizens with zoning peace," Erdoğan says in the photo inside a heavily damaged house.

A 2019 video of President Erdoğan in which he boasts about his government's zoning amnesty laws in the southeastern Kahramanmaraş province has gone viral in the early days of the Feb. 6 quakes. The province is one of the 10 provinces in which thousands of buildings have collapsed after two major earthquakes hit the region on Feb. 6.

In the photo showing Erdoğan in an astronaut suit, Erdoğan's sentence "God willing, we are going to the Moon" is heard.

"I am an economist," Erdoğan can be heard saying in the photo of him wearing glasses and a bow tie.

Because of Erdoğan's unorthodox policies arguing interest rate causes inflation, inflation has been stoked by a currency crisis at the end of 2021 and hit a 24-year peak of 85.51% in October 2022. This figure was 185.34% according to the independent inflation group ENAG.
