BP MARKOWITZ STATEMENT ON EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY
"Brooklyn is the 'Turkish Capital of America' and our hearts go out to our Turkish brothers and sisters and their families as we await news of the final impact from yet another earthquake in Turkey. It is our sincere hope that the extent of the damage is limited. But regardless of the degree of loss, I am confident that all of Brooklyn's communities will come together as they have done before, opening up hearts and wallets to the victims of this disaster. Anyone wishing to contribute to relief efforts through the City can do so through the Mayor's fund to Advance New York City by calling 311 or at www.nyc.gov."
