Grain silo explosion in Derince port: Expert report still not disclosed for four months

Kocaeli MP Gergerlioğlu criticized the lack of an official statement regarding the explosion in the Turkish Grain Board silos at Derince Port, and the non-disclosure of the expert report, despite four months passing. Emphasizing that the explosion in Turkey's most modern silo, which will be inoperable for two to three years, has caused not only casualties, but also a significant national asset loss, he questioned, "Is there no one responsible for this?"
