Counting the cost in Turkey
Article Abstract:
The Turkish government has been criticised for delays in its response to the earthquake which hit northwestern Turkey on Aug 17 1999. The private sector responded rapidly by using equipment to seek survivors, and private individuals collected supplies. Poor construction techniques led to a higher death toll new homes are needed for the survivors and for Turkey's economy due to the significance of the region. Ordinary Turks have discovered a new confidence from cooperating to deal with the crisis, and they are likely to be more critical of the government.
