In 2021 more hectares burnt in Turkey than in total 2007-2019 period. They say around 120.000 hectares burnt this year alone.
It is an extraordinary situation which has to be analyzed carefully in every direction (arson, equipment etc).
Apart from 2021 Turkey is a leader in fire-prevention in Mediterenean region.
If bad AKP-Erdogan is responsible for 2021 then thank you Erdogan for preventing fire misery in all those other years like in the other Mediterenean countries.
Other countries have witnessed much severe fires in more recurring periods than what Turkey has witnessed in 2021.
I guess you're thanking the wrong people and party in your post.
Here are the first acts of the ruling trustee in THK!
While the fight against forest fires has been completed for a week, striking information comes from THK, where all eyes are turned.

"As soon as the Board of Trustees took office, they confiscated all the revenues of the THK Branch Presidents. They did not pay the rents of these branches, electricity, water, telephone, internet, natural gas, personnel salaries and insurance premiums, leaving the branch presidents working on a voluntary basis in a difficult situation. 'a resigned nearest branch president.
Many branch president and board of directors was dismissed, people who are not members of the Authority to place the appointment was made in violation of the statute THK. "
Stating that the evacuation decision of the Laleli Hotel, the most valuable property of the Turkish Aeronautical Association, was concluded in favor of THK, it was concluded against the institution at the appeal stage, Öztürk continued as follows:
"THK has fulfilled the task of extinguishing forest fires in our country at the highest level since 1985. 5 CL-215 fire extinguishing aircraft, which will be ready for use in a very short time after maintenance and repair, have been left to rot. It has ended its fire extinguishing activities, which have been continuing for 35 years. The firefighting plane pilots and the maintenance technicians of the firefighting planes, who were trained under difficult conditions and as a result of long labor and training, were dismissed.The
Board of Trustees asked the parents of the pilotage students of THK University for a donation of 10 thousand USD per student.Mobbing on all personnel at THK University Therefore, many academic and administrative staff left the university."
THK'S REAL ESTATES ARE FOR SALE
On the other hand, THK trustee Cenap Aşçı, who put up for sale 14 firefighting planes after he took office, has now learned that the institution will sell 43 real estates in Turkey, especially in Muğla, Bodrum and İzmir. According to the news of Başak Kaya from Sözcü, an auction will be held on August 18, 2021 for immovable properties. Among the real estates to be sold, there are also land, office buildings, shops and condominiums.

The most precious of these is the hotel in Laleli, which was donated to THK by Atatürk and known as “Aircraft Apartments”. The present value of the hotel was calculated as 500 million dollars. The hotel was rented to Keskinoğlu Holding for $3.25 million annually during the period of former president Osman Yıldırım, who was arrested for corruption.
