N2 - On 6 February 2023, the century-old Republic of Turkey witnessed the most horrific environmental catastrophe in its history. The sheer magnitude of the series of earthquakes originating from the Çardak-Sürgü and East Anatolian fault zones and the shocking level of unpreparedness of public authorities have claimed the lives of more than forty-five thousand Turkish citizens. Despite the evident responsibility of the central government and local administrations in the exacerbation of the social disaster, a particular state institution and an affluent Sufi cult apparently sought to capitalise on the destitution of young earthquake victims.
