The AKP has submitted a research motion to the Speaker of the TBMM regarding the hotel fire in Bolu, in which 78 citizens lost their lives and 51 people were injured.

It has emerged that the motion references the preliminary expert report that CHP leader Özgür Özel shared with the public following the disaster. Minister of Justice Yılmaz Tunç had used the term 'pirated text' for the report in question.

According to the report by Veli Toprak from Sözcü, the motion, which was submitted to the Speaker of the TBMM under the signature of Group Chairman Abdullah Güler and is expected to be discussed in the General Assembly today, stated the following regarding the experts:

“Immediately following the disaster, six public prosecutors were assigned, and an expert committee of seven people was formed, consisting of one occupational safety specialist, two mechanical engineers, two architects, one civil engineer, and one electrical-electronics engineer, to examine the scene.
