We wish God's mercy upon our guests and team members who lost their lives, and offer our condolences and patience to their families, and wish a speedy recovery to our injured. This tragic event has shaken us all so deeply that we cannot describe it. As members of our family, our children, grandchildren, friends, and colleagues were also at the hotel, we have experienced and are experiencing this pain in the most intense way. We are cooperating with the authorities to clarify all aspects of the incident. We are deeply saddened by the losses and we want you to know that we share this pain from the bottom of our hearts."
SPARKED MAJOR OUTRAGE
This statement made by the hotel, which is rumored to have had negligence regarding its sprinkler system, fire department ring road, fire escape, and fire alarm, drew major backlash in a short time.
Some of the comments made are as follows;
You are pathetic, take that statement down immediately. An empty statement.
What will you do with the burden of so many people's lives? And you've made an empty statement at that.
Delete that post and do not share this pain. You have no right to share in our grief.
How shameless you are, you even posted a story.
You didn't even make a post, and in a place where the country has declared national mourning, you just brushed it off with a story. I hope you pay for every one of your abuses.
And you are posting a story, no, that won't do.
76 people lost their lives because of you. What kind of disgrace are you, look at that statement.
