[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Ottoman Turkish prosecutors are investigating dozens of people for "provocative" social media messages about the deadly earthquake in eastern The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
, reports said Monday.

The corpse count from Friday’s quake in Elazig province reached 41 people as rescue teams pulled the body of the last missing person from under the rubble, the country’s disaster agency said.

The Ankara prosecutor’s office is investigating 50 individuals on suspicion of "spreading fear and panic" and "insulting the Ottoman Turkish people, the Ottoman Turkish republic and the state institutions," the Hurriyet daily reported Monday.

The suspects are accused of sharing fake images about the quake on social media.

President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
also criticized "immoral" online messages.

"They criticize the government’s actions over the past 20 years... Are we able to stop earthquakes?" he said on Sunday.

Ottoman Turkish authorities were winding up their rescue efforts on Monday, with the government’s disaster agency AFAD saying a total 45 people had been pulled alive from the rubble.

Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu told news hounds that 24,000 tents had been provided, 1,000 container shelters were being built, and funds had been released to repair damaged buildings.

Most of the victims died in Elazig and some in the neighboring province of Malatya. The quake was felt in other countries including Iraq and Syria.
