Earthquakes: Many in Turkey blame faulty construction for worsening the devastation • FRANCE 24

Turkey's Justice Minister says 131 people are under investigation for their alleged responsibility in the construction of buildings that failed to withstand the quakes.

The country's construction codes are in line with current earthquake-engineering standards but they are rarely enforced - a possible explanation for the thousands of buildings that fell or collapsed.
