Ali Yerlikaya explained the balance sheet of the February 6 Earthquakes:

-53,537 people killed

-107,213 people injured

-38,901 buildings destroyed

So there's 1.37 deaths per building as a result of the earthquake - Isn't that rather low? Or do we have lots of empty buildings ? Or lots of people living alone ?

Earthquake happened twice within 6 hours, I think it's about that. Plus you have buildings that didn't collapse instantly, and one story homes which would probably cause injuries rather than deaths.

Maybe it includes buildings that didn't collapse but just become unuseable? Either way doubt its the exact number.
Many residents had chance to run away.

Even collapsed many times not totally collapsed.

Like the bomb of Juice didn't kill everyone in the collapsed houses in Gaza

Earthquake doesn't kill faulty buildings do.

If a whole city is erased (Antakya), blaming the quake alone is a farse

Central Bank Governor Erkan requested her pardon from duty

How many got changed until now?

This is bad, I hope the next one will be sane too. In Simseks influence we trust, or we have to trust.

"A major reputation assassination campaign has recently been organized against me," Erkan said in her statement, referring to recent defamation campaign launched against her on social media.

She added that she was stepping down "in order to prevent my family and my innocent child, who is not even one-and-a-half years old, from being further affected by this process."

She thanked President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and expressed her gratitude for his support during her term.

On Wednesday, Erdoğan decried efforts to spread "rumors" meant to undermine economic progress, in an apparent endorsement of Erkan, who had criticized a recent press report about her family.

"When the central bank's reserves reached a record-breaking $145.5 billion, they took immediate action. They launched campaigns to disrupt the climate of confidence and stability in our economy with unreasonable rumors, which could undermine the progress we have made," Erdoğan said.

He did not specify the rumors nor reference Erkan directly, though earlier in the speech he cited "opposition" efforts to criticize the government and economy.

I think she really quit because of X and heir family. Nothing to do with Erdogan or AKP.

The new director Governor will work on the same path that Mehmet Şimşek has in mind.

Indonesia invites investment in tuna cultivation from Turkey


Jakarta (ANTARA) - Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Sakti Wahyu Trenggono informed on Monday that his ministry has invited Turkey to invest in Indonesia's tuna cultivation sector.

"I went to Izmir, Turkey, to see tuna farming and cultivation. Indonesia's tuna catch has reached 334 thousand tons per year, but they cannot be cultivated yet, so we have invited Turkey to invest in Indonesia,"
he said here.

85 million people.

That means 85 million consumers, eating and drinking everyday.

No wonder our economy is overheated.

After the local elections, AKP might launch another peace process to push this "new" constitution. The new constitution shenanigans are mostly pushed to give Erdogan another 2-3 terms as president.
