7:05 am
are they still so many buildings that are not quite prove. all that indeed is a big question being asked once again after a powerful quake we've seen apartment blocks just collapse into heaps of rubble of toki that are leading to a few seismologists. said why is it is only the poor that are buried in the rubble you never see rich people's buildings collapsing and the questions have been asked over the the the quality of buildings in turkey now after the powerful earthquake of 1909 in the provincial city of izmit just outside the stamboul new power new strict regulations have been in force and also a program of strengthening buildings but given the fact that turkey has a large amount of also housing stock this is proving a challenging task but again the quake in izmir underlines how important it is now greece has also been affected by the quake and its relationship with turkey is well strained to say the least both countries working together now.
