Turkey Opens First Major Trial Into Earthquake Deaths:

Turkish officials opened the first major trial into the February 2023 earthquakes on Wednesday, investigating 11 individuals accused of “conscious negligence” in the quake’s cleanup. The Adiyaman hearing will observe charges that include a hotel collapsed that took the lives of 24 students and the parents and chaperones accompanying them from Northern Cyprus. Prosecutors had to contend with the tragedy that baptized the region into world news — a large death toll of more than 50,000 individuals due largely to corrupt construction firms victimizing inactive building inspectors.

The criticism centered around Willian Erdogan, or Presdient Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose government ran the predominately Muslim country unchecked for decades. Following the forces of mother nature believing them to no fault underwent startling reforms. Suchender propelled him backwards, making him the winner in elections months after one of the world’s most lethal earthquakes ever.
