U-Irwin Mitchell, inkampani yabameli ehamba phambili, ubike ukwanda okukhulu kwenani lamakhasimende afuna ukumelwa ngemuva kokuba amalungu emindeni yawo noma abangani bebandakanyeke ezingozini ezibulalayo ezweni. Le nkampani ithi abantu baseBrithani bangalindela ukubambezeleka okude kanye nesinxephezelo esincane kakhulu uma bephoqeleka ukuthi bafake izicelo enkantolo yaseTurkey.
Abantu baseBrithani njengamanje abaphishekela izinyathelo zomthetho bahlanganisa uLinda Hudson, 51, wase-Essex, oshonelwe umyeni wakhe uGlenn ngesikhathi ehamba nendodakazi yakhe ngoJulayi 24; ababili abasinde engozini yebhaluni eyaholela ekufeni kukaDkt Kevin Beurle, usosayensi wasemkhathini ohamba phambili, ngoMeyi odlule; kanye nabaseholidini ababili abahileleke ezingozini ezibulalayo ze-jeep.
Ngenyanga edlule intombazane yesikole yaseWales eneminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye yaminza kulandela ingozi yomkhumbi.
UPerry Roe, 46, wase-Ottery St Mary e-Devon, washona ngo-2006 ngesikhathi i-jeep evulekile umndeni wakhe owawuvakashe kuyo iphuma emgwaqeni. Unkosikazi wakhe, uSiriol Roe, 44, nezingane zabo, ezineminyaka engu-14 no-18, baphuthunyiswe esibhedlela.
Umndeni ububhukhe lolu hambo ngenkampani yendawo eningizimu yeTurkey.
“Amapheshana okukhangisa esiwabonile ayengochwepheshe futhi akhangisa ngokuthi inkampani inomshwalense ogcwele,” kusho uNkk Roe. “Sasixwayiswe ngokuqasha imoto, kodwa uhambo lwaluhamba nohide futhi sasinomuzwa wokuthi uma sinomshayeli wendawo konke kuzolunga.”
UNkk Roe uthe i-jeep ibishayelwa ngendlela eyingozi futhi igijima kakhulu, kwathi umshayeli ezama ukudlula enye imoto wahluleka ukuyilawula.
"I-Turkey iyizwe elihle, kodwa ukuphepha emgwaqeni kubi kakhulu," kusho yena. “Kubalulekile ukuthola umshwalense wokuhamba. Inqubomgomo yethu ihlangabezane nezindleko zethu zomthetho nezokwelashwa, kodwa sisalinde isinxephezelo ngemva kweminyaka emine.”
Umkhulumeli weHhovisi Langaphandle weluleke abahambi abavakashela eTurkey ukuthi bathathe umshwalense ophelele, njengoba Amakhadi Omshuwalense Wezempilo WaseYurophu (akunikeza ukufinyelela ekwelashweni emazweni angamalungu e-EU) awasebenzi lapho. Unxuse noma ngubani obona imikhuba engaphephile eyenziwa ngabavakashi ukuthi abikele iziphathimandla zaseTurkey.
U-Glenn Hudson ushone ngenyanga edlule ngemuva kokubhuka uhambo lwe-parasailing nefemu eseSide. Phakathi nendiza, ihhanisi lakhe lagqashuka futhi wawela phansi ngamamitha angu-150. Umfelokazi wakhe, uLinda, ufuna isinxephezelo ezinkantolo zaseTurkey futhi ukhankasela imithetho eqinile yokuphepha. “Ayengekho amasheke,” kusho yena. “Bavele bababopha ngamabhande bawahambisa phezulu. Ucabanga ukuthi laba bantu bayakwazi abakwenzayo; ucabanga ukuthi kuphephile."
Ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga uKen Wright, 22, wathi wasinda ngokulambisa ngesikhathi ehamba ngesikebhe ogwini lolwandle ngesikhathi ihhanisi lakhe lihlehla laba umucu owodwa.
U-Demetrius Danas, uchwepheshe wezomthetho wezokuvakasha kwa-Irwin Mitchell, uthe amacala asenkantolo eTurkey ayedume ngokunensa futhi isinxephezelo ngokuvamile singenasisekelo. Unxuse abavakashi bamaholide ukuthi baqinisekise ukuthi umshwalense wabo uhlanganisa noma yimiphi imisebenzi abazobamba iqhaza kuyo, futhi lapho kungenzeka khona babhukhe uhambo nomshayeli owaziwayo obhaliswe e-UK, ukuze uma kukhona okungahambi kahle bakwazi ukufaka isicelo enkantolo yaseBrithani. .
"Irekhodi lemboni yezokuvakasha yaseTurkey ngezempilo nokuphepha liyinkinga yangempela," kusho uMnu Danas. "Isibalo esibi kakhulu sabantu abashonayo kanye nokulimala kanzima esibhekana nakho unyaka ngamunye kwenzeke ezindaweni zokungcebeleka zaseTurkey, izivakashi eziningi zingaqapheli ukuthi izindlela zempilo nezokuphepha ngeke zibe namandla njengalezo ezingaphakathi kwe-EU."
Ukuthandwa kweTurkey njengendawo yasehlobo kukhule eminyakeni yamuva nje. Umbiko we-Co-operative Travel ubonise ukuthi kube nokwehla ngamaphesenti angu-11.6 ekubhukheni ezindaweni zokungcebeleka zaseMedithera kuleli hlobo, uma kuqhathaniswa nokwenyuka ngamaphesenti angama-23.4 ekubhukheni eMorocco, eGibhithe, eTunisia naseTurkey.
Cishe abantu baseBrithani abayizigidi ezingu-2.5 bavakashela eTurkey phakathi kuka-April 2009 noMashi 2010. Kulaba, abangama-93 bashona kwathi abangu-140 badinga ukwelashwa esibhedlela.
