An ordinary day in the Middle East: Historical Buca house is arsoned

- An ordinary day in the Middle East -

While the old quarters with historical houses in Europe continue to be preserved intact; As is common in countries in the Middle East, historical houses in Buca continue to disappear for nothing.

One of the historical Buca houses, located on the 79th street (formerly Selvi Sokak) in the Buca Dumlupınar District, has started counting the days for its end. The historic house is thought to have been set on fire.

- The historic house was set on fire at night -

According to the information received from the locals, a fire broke out in the historical house for an unknown reason at around 03:00 at midnight connecting April 12 to April 13. The fire could only be extinguished around 04:00. While it was hoped that the house survived with minor damage, the gravity of the job became apparent in the morning hours. While the roof of the house completely collapsed due to the fire, it was observed that the floor between the second floor and the first floor, although not completely collapsed, was seriously damaged. Although there is no serious damage to the outer side walls of the house, there are serious damages to the walls inside. Also, some windows are damaged.

- Who is responsible -

Some historical houses in Buca suffered similar fates in the past. In some cases, it was stated that the houses were damaged by drug addicts or the homeless, and in some cases, it was claimed that the property owners had deliberately built the event in order to erect an apartment instead of the houses in the protected area. (In order to prevent incidents such as the deliberate burning of the house, if the house is in the protected area, new construction permits are not given even if the house is damaged or demolished.) As a result, all the events were left to the owner or the builder.

Those responsible for what happened to this historical Buca house, which was built in the Ottoman Period and used by the Asparuk family for many years since the 1930s, will probably not be found, and as a result, the perpetrator will be left with profit. No information was available on what would happen to the house or what the owners thought about the future of the house. There will probably be no attempt at restoration and the house will be left to die, as it has become a classic in the Middle East geography.
