The investigation is looking into building contractors suspected of violating safety standards following the deadly earthquake in Turkey
Turkey will widen an investigation into building contractors suspected of violating safety standards following its devastating earthquake, the interior minister said, as the country stepped up housing plans for victims.
Soylu said some 313,000 tents had been erected, with 100,000 container homes to be installed in the earthquake zone. Urbanization Minister Murat Kurum said 164,000 buildings with more than 530,000 apartments were destroyed or severely damaged by the earthquake. The 19-year-old history student was travelling with his two younger brothers to Mersin, where his parents and siblings were staying with relatives. He said he now wanted to emigrate to Switzerland and continue his studies there.
