Minister of Internal Affairs Ali Yerlikaya made statements regarding the incident in Erzincan on a TV channel he attended via telephone. Yerlikaya’s statements are as follows:
I wish we all get well soon. At 14.28, damage occurred as a result of the sliding of a large amount of soil mass stacked in a private mine in İliç. As soon as we received the news, while our governor was moving there, more than 400 search and rescue teams were arranged and sent to the region with AFAD, UMKE, JAK and our 3rd Army from all the surrounding provinces.
It is a difficult situation, a mass of 8-10 decares is flowing and sliding onto an area of 100 decares. We are faced with the situation of not receiving any news from 9 of our workers. Our only hope is to reach our workers. We meet with our governor and follow up. We met with our Minister of Energy and our Minister of Justice. We are trying to shed light on the incident. Just now
We also conveyed the information to our President. They also follow the process with great care.
