The morning revealed an expert report placing responsibility for the Kartalkaya fire on ministry and provincial authorities rather than the municipality, prompting Justice Minister Tunç to denounce it as "unauthorized." By afternoon, hotel owner Halit Ergül and his son-in-law were arrested, while Culture Minister Ersoy insisted fire certification authority lay with local firefighters.
The investigation's political dimension expanded as actress Ayşe Barım was detained over alleged Gezi protest involvement, followed by summons for prominent actors including Halit Ergenç. Opposition leader Özel's sharing of the expert report sparked confrontation with Minister Tunç.
Evening brought a building collapse in Konya with five people trapped under rubble, while Furkan Foundation leader Alparslan Kuytul was detained in a separate development. The day ended with authorities confirming disabled fire sensors at Kartalkaya had contributed to the tragedy.
