Short Summary: ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A fire at a 12-story hotel at a popular ski resort in northwestern Turkey on Tuesday killed at least 66 people, Turkey's Interior Minister said.
Update on this, nobody from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the government apparatus actually responsible for overseeing the safety standards and procedures of hotels such as this got punished in any way. They tried to shift the blame to the Mayor of Bolu who is only responsible for Bolu city and has no jurisdiction outside the city.

It's basically a signature move from Erdogan, who never took responsibility for any of his government's failures basically ever.

This disaster, that resulted in the deaths of 78 innocent people is largely forgotten and isn't talked about anymore in conventional or social media. Life is cheap in muslim majority countries. We chuck it up to the will of allah, say a few prayers and move on.

If Erdogan goes the Xi/Putin route and goes after the corrupt mafia than Turkey has stronger potential than what is currently is doing.
