GRIEVING MOTHER: THEY MADE ME IDENTIFY MY CHILD'S BODY
At the funeral held for 17-year-old Özüm Karataşlı, who lost her life in the fire, grieving mother Nilgün Karataşlı said, "The news of my child's death was on the newspaper headlines, they made me identify my child's body, how can a mother identify a corpse?" as she was overcome with tears. Father Macit Karataşlı stated, "My heart is burning, I lost my angel. There were no precautions. There was no fire escape, no alarm, no detector. We threw a sheet down. Özüm was staying with her sisters, we were staying with my wife. She woke up and woke us up. Coincidentally, there was an elevator across the room. When she said, 'Come on, we are leaving quickly,' she panicked and ran to the elevator, where they all died at once. What can I say to anyone? Human life is cheap in this country. One blames the other, and the other blames the next. Who is guilty here? We are guilty," he said. Özüm Karataşlı's body was buried in Ümraniye Ihlamurkuyu Cemetery after the prayer.
