Future Party Chairman Ahmet Davutoğlu brought up the death of 5 siblings, which deeply wounded Turkey, during his party's group meeting.
5 little ones lost their lives in a fire that broke out as a result of an electric heater tipping over in a shack-like house in Selçuk, İzmir.
"IT HAPPENED UNDER THE RULE OF THOSE WHOSE FOREHEADS TOUCH THE GROUND IN PRAYER"
Unable to hold back his tears while speaking about the issue at the podium, Davutoğlu said, "We could not protect our children. Were we to experience these things under the rule of those whose foreheads touch the ground in prayer? Believe me, I am not saying this to criticize. I am saying it while looking in the mirror. I am devastated, I am ashamed. I am ashamed because we could not stop it. I am devastated because we could not prevent these corruptions. It means we could not make ourselves heard, we could not explain, we could not protect our children. What kind of thing is this? While we talk about the children in Gaza, how will we account for these 5 souls? Sir, the issue is money... Madam, what does money mean? Have you ever seen children going to bed hungry? When was the last time you went to the slums? Have you ever shared the troubles of a mother living in a shanty house with her 5 children and had money left over?"
