21.01.2025 ⇢ Day Fire Devoured Mountain Resort
⌨
A fire at Kartalkaya ski resort initially reported three casualties in early morning, with numbers rising throughout the day to reach 76 deaths by evening. The tragedy unfolded in waves of increasingly grim updates, while authorities issued a media broadcast ban. A day of national mourning was declared.
The disaster occurred amid ongoing political tensions, with Zafer Party leader Ümit Özdağ's arrest marking another opposition figure detained this week. Before his arrest, Özdağ expressed concerns about his safety, referencing historical cases.
Late evening brought a 5.2 magnitude earthquake in Çanakkale, while diplomatic channels remained active with Swedish-Turkish talks focusing on NATO membership conditions. Media coverage shifted between these events, though the Kartalkaya tragedy dominated headlines, with controversy emerging over the handling of victims' remains.
