What did President Erdoğan say about the 5 children who lost their lives in the İzmir fire? '18 times...'

Hürriyet columnist Abdulkadir Selvi reported in his column today that President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also reacted to the death of 5 children in a fire caused by an overturned electric heater in the Selçuk district of İzmir, asking, "How were these children not taken into care despite 18 visits?"

'THEIR ENDS ARE LIKE BABY SILA OR THE 5 SIBLINGS'

In his article, where he addressed all the circumstances and the statements made by the family's relatives, Selvi wrote:

"I read the statements of the children's mother. I shared the explanations of the children's uncle and aunt. My goal is not to blame or exonerate anyone. There is a social wound. I want to draw attention to it. There is a situation that even makes President Erdoğan revolt, asking 'How can the state not take them?' It is necessary to close the loopholes in the laws and take the children from the hands of such families. Otherwise, their ends turn out like baby Sıla in Tekirdağ or these 5 siblings."
