Morning coverage pivoted from Erdoğan’s New York program to a Karaköprü-centred tremor measured at 5.4 by AFAD, 5.8 by Kandilli, felt in Diyarbakır, Gaziantep and Adıyaman, with ministers reporting no transport or communications damage and the disinformation centre denying collapse claims.
As quake updates receded, the capital-markets fund probe reclaimed attention: arrests included Özkan, Kırmızı and Uygun, courts seized 750 million lira, two jets and a yacht, and Erdoğan in New York said no risk to the economy threatened and all responsible would face justice, while Şimşek denied resignation rumours.
Erdoğan’s diplomacy continued with messages on a Gaza ceasefire, Hormuz and F-35s, drawing a swipe from Netanyahu that drew official rebukes.
The Yavaş resignation aftermath brought council resignations around Ankara and a Yahşihan corruption operation presented as targeting AKP and MHP figures.
