The party stressed the critical importance of implementing comprehensive measures to prevent future disasters, especially considering the February 6, 2023, earthquake, which resulted in over 51,000 deaths and impacted 11 provinces in southern Türkiye.
Highlighting the discrepancies between official and parliamentary records of the 1999 death toll, HÜDA PAR underscored the severity of the disaster. The party criticized the lack of substantial progress in earthquake preparedness since then, despite repeated warnings from experts.
Seismologists have consistently alerted authorities to the high risk of a major earthquake in the Marmara Sea region, a densely populated and economically vital area. HÜDA PAR emphasized that such an event could have catastrophic consequences, not only in terms of human life and property loss but also for the nation's economy and political stability.
The party called for immediate and decisive action to address the earthquake threat. This includes accelerating urban transformation in earthquake-prone areas, ensuring the timely completion of housing projects for those affected by the February 6 earthquake, and implementing stringent building codes and emergency response plans.
HÜDA PAR urged both the government and the public to prioritize earthquake preparedness. The party emphasized the need for increased public awareness, education, and participation in disaster drills.
In conclusion, HÜDA PAR reiterated its condolences to the victims of the 1999 and 2023 earthquakes while emphasizing the urgent need for action to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
The party's statement comes as a stark reminder of the ongoing earthquake threat facing Turkey and the critical importance of preparedness. (ILKHA)
