Discussions continue regarding the 'authority' crisis that began after the fire disaster in Bolu Kartalkaya, where 78 people lost their lives and 51 were injured.
TANJU ÖZCAN: ALL AUTHORITIES BELONG TO THE MINISTRY Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan stated regarding the issue, "The operating authority of tourism is granted by the Ministry of Tourism. All authorities belong to the Ministry. We do not even have the authority to inspect the kitchen of the hotel here in terms of hygiene." he said.
MINISTER ERSOY: THE FIRE SAFETY CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT In a live television broadcast, Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy made striking statements regarding the 'authority' crisis, saying, "Whether it is a tourism center or not, the licensing and occupancy authority of a building is not with the Ministry of Culture. If it is within the municipality's jurisdiction, it is with the municipality; if outside, it is with the provincial special administration. No institution other than the fire department can issue the fire safety certificate." he stated.
FORMER AK PARTY DEPUTY DENİZOLGUN: THE GUILTY OF THE LOSS OF LIVES IS THE MINISTER AND THE MINISTRY Meanwhile, recently, a striking post came from former AK Party Istanbul Deputy Fatih Süleyman Denizolgun regarding the discussions. Denizolgun shared a photo of himself next to Minister Ersoy on his social media account, stating, "We are closely witnessing that the guilty of all the pains and loss of lives is the 'Minister' and the 'Ministry'."
Denizolgun used the following statements in his post: "Immediately after the bans were lifted, as I have revealed in my previous writings; the dirty mechanisms and networks of relationships circulating in the Ministry, the sole guilty of the incident is the 'Ministry.' We must witness with truth and justice. Just because they are our relatives, acquaintances, or fellow townsmen; we cannot favor them, we cannot show favoritism. We must never lie. I have previously stated that it would be much better for the 'Minister' to resign immediately. The command in the holy verse is very clear. 'O you who have believed! Be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do.' (Surah An-Nisa, Verse 135) We are closely witnessing that the guilty of all the pains and loss of lives is the 'Minister' and the 'Ministry.' Respectfully; Fatih Süleyman Denizolgun"
