Children missing after the earthquake are back on the agenda... Critical questions from Ahmet Ercan: 'Where are these children?'

The Jeffrey Epstein documents, consisting of millions of pages released by the US Department of Justice, have caused a stir worldwide while bringing questions about missing children in Turkey back to the agenda.

According to the scandalous documents, it is alleged that underage children from Turkey, as well as Asia and Europe, were included in Epstein's human trafficking network.

In the testimony of a victim taken in 2009, it was stated, “Epstein transported underage girls who did not speak English from Turkey, the Czech Republic, Asia, and many other countries on his private jet. He preferred those who did not speak English because it made them more vulnerable and made it harder for them to report the crimes to the authorities.”

On the other hand, the issue of children who went missing following the major earthquakes that occurred on February 6, 2023, has been brought back to the agenda. Prof. Dr. Ahmet Ercan recalled his observations and warnings from years ago in the Malatya earthquake zone in a post on his social media account.

Ercan's statements are as follows:

"Three years ago, while conducting investigations among the ruins and in tent settlements in the Malatya earthquake zone with my dear friend Nasuh Mahruki, I mentioned that young children who survived the earthquake might have been abducted, based on information I received from the Purple Roof Women's Shelter Foundation. Instead of accepting this as a report and opening an investigation, the prosecutor's office detained me, calling it misinformation. Today, it has come to light that 55 of our children are missing from the February 6 earthquake. Sort out the mess. Who is guilty and who is innocent? Where are these children?"

Ercan's statements and the allegations in the Epstein file coinciding have reopened the public debate on post-earthquake disappearances and suspicions of human trafficking. While the effectiveness of measures to protect children, especially in disaster zones, is being questioned, it is awaited with curiosity whether official authorities will make a new statement regarding the fate of the missing children.

While there is still no trace of the 55 children identified as missing after the February 6 earthquake, all eyes are on the authorities for the conclusion of the investigations and inquiries that have been launched.
