The pain of the 5 young children who lost their lives in a fire in İzmir has deeply shaken Turkey. Gelecek Party Chairman Ahmet Davutoğlu was unable to hold back his tears while evaluating this tragic event at his party's group meeting, continuing his speech in an emotional manner. Davutoğlu also reacted to the statements made by AK Party Deputy Özlem Zengin regarding the incident.

While Davutoğlu's tears caused a wide reaction in public opinion, 12punto columnist and lawyer Ruşen Gültekin shared a striking message on social media.

In his message, Gültekin stated, "Whatever has happened to us, behind all of it is the issue of ‘those whose foreheads touch the ground in prayer.’ Those who know the FETÖ era know this. I can say that those of us who have suffered like this have finally ‘had enough.’" Gültekin also emphasized law and justice, adding, "Let us no longer be governed by ‘those who fear God,’ but by people who are just and have a conscience. The problem will solve itself."

These expressions reflect Gültekin's criticisms regarding past injustices and the misinterpretation of religious values in political spheres, and were evaluated as a call for the necessity of law and justice.

Gültekin's post received great attention on social media and was supported by many users.

In his statement at the group meeting, Davutoğlu expressed his deep sorrow over the death of the 5 children who burned to death in İzmir, emphasizing that such events should be handled not politically, but within the framework of social responsibility.
