We see that 78 of the 171 people arrested are contractors. 64 of them are the building supervisors. Responsibility and anyone who signed is within the scope of this investigation. Anyone who has responsibility in a destroyed building will be weighed on the scales of justice and the actions to be taken will be carried out without hesitation. No one should be worried. Everyone will be held accountable to the nation's judiciary in front of the nation's eyes. Whoever has how much responsibility, everyone will be held as responsible as their responsibility. If an inspection has been made, are these inspections done correctly, if concrete is used, are the proportions in line with the technical order, and all questions will be investigated."
