Mask manufacturers react to the Greek Parliament
Transformation of Turkish-made masks into a crisis in the Greek Parliament was reacted as "Human health cannot be a material for racism", by the manufacturers
Eurasia Company Manager Vasfi Yeşil said that they have been producing masks since the pandemic began, thus touching people's health. Yeşil, who said, 'No matter where you go in the world, there is no more important issue than human health' and criticized the event as follows: “While the world is struggling with the coronavirus, we spend hours producing masks to protect people's health. Human health cannot be used for racism. Since the health sector has a direct impact on human life, we cannot associate it with racism.”
The company produces an average of 250 thousand medical masks per day with a staff of 15 people. The Company sells 300 thousand to England, 500 thousand to Germany, 400 thousand to Denmark, 1 million 250 thousand to Belgium, 2 million 250 thousand to Serbia, 2 million 100 thousand to Bosnia and Herzegovina, 400 thousand medical masks to Japan. The company, which exports medical masks all over the world, also sells its products to Greece.
Liana Kanelli, a Communist Party Member of the Greek Parliament, had said, “The masks you handed out to us in the Parliament say 'Made in Turkey'. It is not bad, but immigrants cannot pass through Turkey, but interests do".
