A Turkish man living in Stirling has spoken of his anguish as the search continues for over 70 members of his family missing following the massive earthquake that devastated the country this week.
Ekrem Ozturk said he fears for his family’s safety, after many of them saw all of their possessions and homes destroyed in the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria on Monday.
The earthquake – measuring a magnitude 7.8 – shook buildings shortly after 4am local time. That was followed by a series of aftershocks that caused further havoc.
