You know its easy to critise erdogan and the akp.
But combating earthquakes is a long term issue.
None of the current and past administrations have done anything to combat by investing into new building standards, investing in technology, enforcing rules and laws and allowing construction companies too much lobbying power.
All the parties who are throwing mud at each other need to look themselves in the mirror.
Also I do believe the atitude of the Turkish people need to change I mean they dont even wear seatbelts.
When I went in 2002 as a kid it shocked me back then how nobody wore seatbelts while in Australia it was literally mandatory.
I didnt even mention Erdogan, i was simply talking about corrupt construction planners.
But now that you opened the can of worms, after 1999 they put a mandatory earth quake insurance on every single homeowner, this was almost 25 years ago, that money was to be used to strenghten infrastructure and demolish old vulnerable buildings.
It was to enforce stricter building codes yet even new buildings seem to collapse too.
What happened to that money?
Again stop stop defending bullshit, construction sector is corrupt to the core and the government is turning a blind eye to it thats not even a secret.
