Defne Samyeli, regarding the fire disaster at the Bolu Kartalkaya Ski Resort, shared, "We are in a state of helpless acceptance. Is this really our fate as citizens of this country?"
In Bolu Kartalkaya, one of Turkey's important ski resorts, a fire broke out last night around 03:30 at the Grand Kartal Hotel, where the nightly rate can reach up to 32 thousand lira. The fire, which was determined to have started in the restaurant section of the 12-story hotel with a wooden exterior, spread rapidly.
76 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES
It was reported that the hotel, which had an occupancy rate of about 80-90% due to the mid-term holiday, was hosting 238 guests. As a result of the fire, 76 people lost their lives, and 51 others were injured.
DEFNE SAMYELİ PROTESTED
While the echoes of the disaster continue, a striking post came from the famous presenter Defne Samyeli. Samyeli expressed, "As always in such events, we are in a helpless acceptance. Is this really our fate as citizens of this country?" She added: "This is not a fire; it is outright murder. Negligence, favoritism, complacency, ignorance, lack of accountability, and a mentality adorned with who knows what primitive traits embedded in the DNA of the 'business' order in this country. Let's see who will be responsible this time? What price will they pay? I pray for God's mercy on everyone who lost their lives in this disaster in Bolu Kartalkaya, and I sincerely wish condolences and patience to all families and loved ones."
