Over 100 arrest warrants for collapse of buildings in Turkey

Officials in Turkey said 113 arrest warrants have been issued over the construction of buildings that have collapsed during powerful earthquakes on February 6th.

Turkish police have only arrested at least 12 people, including construction contractors.

Meanwhile, discontent has grown in southern Turkey over search-saving efforts in several countries.

The number of casualties confirmed by earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has increased to over 28,000.

More arrests are expected, but the authorities' actions as an attempt to clear the blame of this disaster.

For years, experts have warned that new buildings in Turkey are uncertain because of the ongoing corruption and government policies.

These policies have allowed the so-called amnesty for contractors who have violated the rules in order to encourage new constructions, including in areas that are threatened by earthquakes.

Thousands of buildings have collapsed during earthquakes, raising questions about whether this natural disaster has deteriorated due to human factor failures.

With the elections approaching, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's political future has been in jeopardy for 20 years.

Erdogan has acknowledged that there has been no adequate response of institutions, but during his visit to earthquake-affected areas, he apparently blamed fate. These things always happened”, he said. “It's part of the fate plan”. /rel
