Enes Kırmızı (28), who was one of the 11 people who lost their lives in the explosion that occurred yesterday at the ammunition factory operating in the Kavaklı neighborhood of the Karesi district in Balıkesir, was laid to rest. The words of Feyza Kırmızı, who wept at her husband's coffin, raised allegations of negligence.

LAID TO REST

The funeral ceremony held for Enes Kırmızı was attended by Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır, Balıkesir Provincial Gendarmerie Commander Major General Nurettin Alkan, Balıkesir Provincial Police Chief Hasan Yiğit, MHP Balıkesir Member of Parliament Ekrem Gökay Yüksel, AK Party Balıkesir Member of Parliament Ali Taylan Öztaylan, Karesi Mayor Mesut Akbıyık, AK Party Karesi District Chairman Hakan Aka, and many citizens.

"YOU SAID THE MACHINE HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR 4 WEEKS"

The words of Feyza Kırmızı, the wife of Enes Kırmızı, who has a 2.5-year-old son, as she embraced her husband's coffin before the funeral prayer, broke hearts. Weeping at her husband's coffin, Feyza Kırmızı said, "Everything will be as you wanted. Our child will know you very well and love you very much. Those who made you experience this will pay the price. You said the machine has been broken for 4 weeks. They kept repairing it and running it. I loved your soul; your soul will always be with me." In the incident where the possibility of sabotage was ruled out, Kırmızı's words raised the question, "Is there negligence in the explosion?"

AN EXPLOSION OCCURRED IN THE SAME FACTORY 10 YEARS AGO

It was revealed that on June 3, 2014, an explosion of 3 grams of hunting powder occurred in the ammunition factory, injuring 6 people. The explosion was brought under control thanks to the quick intervention of the employees, preventing a disaster.
