Why It Matters
Although nearly 20 months have passed since the Kartalkaya disaster, the families' search for justice continues.
Saadet Party Chairman Mahmut Arıkan met with Kartalkaya Family Platform members who protested in Ankara Anıtpark to demand justice after the disaster in Kartalkaya in which many people lost their lives.
Arıkan, who listened to the grievances experienced by the families, criticized the government by stating that justice should be applied equally to everyone in Turkey.
Arıkan argued that one of the main problems in the country is the crisis in moral values and said, "The biggest crisis is the moral crisis."
"WHEN PEOPLE CLOSE TO THEM ARE PROTECTED..."
Stating that if justice works equally for everyone, families would not have to be in Anıtpark today, Arıkan claimed that some groups were protected due to their political affiliation.
Arıkan said, "It is not acceptable for so many oppressed people to be victimized while some people close to them are protected."
Stating that families are still forced to take action even though nearly 20 months have passed since the Kartalkaya disaster, Arıkan said that this situation does not suit Turkey.
“DOING WHAT IS NECESSARY HAS BECOME RELEVANT TO POLITICS”
Arıkan stated that a system in which the implementation of justice is associated with political connections cannot be accepted and said, "Doing what is necessary has become related to proximity to politics."
Emphasizing that Turkey should be a country where equal justice is provided for everyone, Arıkan continued his words as follows:
"No oppression can be eternal. There will be a reckoning somewhere."
Kartalkaya Family Platform members, on the other hand, thanked Arıkan for his visit and reiterated the demands of the families who lost their relatives in the disaster for justice and accountability for those responsible.
