Today.Az » From the Region » Flood in eastern Turkey kills six from same family
22 July 2010 [16:55] - Today.Az
Six people from the same family were killed Wednesday when floodwaters swept away their house in Saçlık village of the eastern province of Erzurum.

Health Minister Recep Akdağ paid a visit Thursday to the eastern province of Erzurum, where six people from the same family were killed the day before when floodwaters swept away their house.

The Kocabaş residence, which was built on a creek bed in Saçlık village in Erzurum’s Horasan district, was destroyed at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday following torrential rains in the area.

Keziban Kocabaş, 46, Aysel Kocabaş, 18, Cüneyt Kocabaş, 12, Sezer Kocabaş, 10, Yusuf Kocabaş, 7, and Mahide Kocabaş, 62, died in the disaster. Keziban Kocabaş’ husband, Ziya Kocabaş, 49, and two of the couple’s sons were working in a nearby field and were thus spared.

An 8-year-old child from the same family was saved from floodwaters by rescue teams, Akdağ said Thursday.

“For which one of them would I be sorry? What kind of a pain is this?” Ziya Kocabaş said of his family members following the tragic incident.

Highlighting the problematic location of Saçlık, the health minister said the village “will probably be moved to another place.” He also said he had met with Deputy Prime Minister Cemil Çiçek and ensured that aid would be sent to the village from Prime Ministry funds.

The heavy rainfall that affected Erzurum also caused another flood that swept away a portion of the road connecting the towns of Köprüköy and Karayazı, leaving motorists stranded on both sides. Seventy houses in Erzurum were also flooded.

Village headman Vahyettin Kaya said the rainfall was not that heavy in the village, but added that the area had been hit by water coming down from the mountains and the pieces of rock it dragged along.
