The Kartalkaya resort investigation proceeded through three distinct phases. Morning brought hotel owner Ergül's claim that ministry inspectors found no deficiencies in December, while the architect was released. By afternoon, Bolu's deputy mayor faced arrest demands, highlighting local authority responsibility.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism's inspection authority emerged as central to the debate, with provincial authorities challenging minister Ersoy's earlier statements about responsibility distribution. Evening concluded with the deputy mayor's arrest, bringing the total detained to 19.
MIT chief Kalın's Damascus meeting with Ahmed Şara indicated continued Syrian diplomatic engagement. CHP leadership discussions intensified with reports of Muharrem İnce's potential return to the party, while parliament prepared to address the resort tragedy in upcoming sessions.
