Striking claim regarding Minister Ersoy: Will he request to be 'relieved of his duties'? They have announced his potential successor

The fire that broke out in the early hours of January 21 at the 12-story Grand Kartal Hotel, located at the Bolu Kartalkaya Ski Center, turned into a major tragedy. The flames, which engulfed the building in a short time, turned into a disaster at an altitude of 2,200 meters.

In the fire, 78 people, including students, lost their lives by burning, suffocating from smoke, or jumping from windows in a desperate attempt to save themselves.

While Turkey is still trying to overcome the impact of this painful event, the name on the agenda has become Minister of Culture and Tourism Mehmet Nuri Ersoy. A striking claim has been made regarding Minister Ersoy, who has been subjected to criticism by both the opposition and some figures within the ruling party.

ERSOY WILL RESIGN

CHP Assembly Member Ali Öztunç noted that Minister of Culture and Tourism Mehmet Nuri Ersoy would 'request to be relieved of his duties' during the day.

HE HAD DENIED RESPONSIBILITY

Minister Ersoy had shifted the responsibility to the Bolu Municipality in a statement he made during a live broadcast on CNN Türk in recent days.

However, it was revealed that all responsibility regarding the hotel in question lies with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

WHO WILL REPLACE ERSOY?

In the continuation of his statement on Sözcü TV, Ali Öztunç said that Kürşat Zorlu, who joined the AKP from the IYI Party, is one of the names being discussed for the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
