Gheorghe Hagi and Gike Popescu, a donation of 50,000 euros for the Turkish people

After Daniel Pancu donated approximately 25 thousand euros to the victims of the earthquakes in Turkey, it was his turn to help the officials of the Constanta lighthouse.

“Just as Turks do not forget Hagi and Popescu, we cannot forget Turkey either.

Today, together with Gike Hagi, I visited His Excellency Ozgur Kivanc Altan, the Turkish Ambassador to Romania.

The Constanta Lighthouse Club assured the Turkish Embassy of its full support during this extremely difficult period and came to the aid of the victims by donating 50,000 euros.

We thank His Eminence for the reception and wish from the bottom of our hearts that the bad news coming from Turkey will end and the Turkish people will remain strong.” – such a message was published by Gike Popescu on his official Instagram page.
