00:03There is no election fever in Antakya, just boundless grief.
00:10In this one cemetery, more than 5,000 lie buried, most still unidentified.
00:20How can I forget you, cries Fethiye, to her son beneath the soil.
00:31Her grandson, Eran, comes to comfort her.
00:37She cradled the little boy under the rubble for eight hours.
00:44Your father is lying here, she tells him.
00:49She blames President Erdogan for the four loved ones she lost.
00:56Do you think he will still be President after the election?
01:03I hope to God he won't, she says.
01:06What I want from the ballot box is his dead body.
01:11Our souls have been ripped away.
01:15He just brings harm.
01:19It wasn't only the earthquakes that killed here.
01:23Many buildings were death traps.
01:27Under Recep Tayyip Erdogan, there have been repeated amnesties for illegal construction.
01:34Developers just had to pay a fine.
01:37When disaster struck here, it exposed weaknesses in the Turkish state.
01:43Structural faults in President Erdogan's long rule.
01:47It wasn't just years of shoddy construction work.
01:50Critics point to a lack of proper oversight.
01:54A lack of preparedness.
01:55The worst natural disaster in modern Turkish history was compounded by man.
02:03Many died waiting for help that never came.
02:07But supporters of the President, and there are plenty, echo his view that all this was destiny.
02:14In a deeply polarised country, the earthquake is one more fissure.
02:21It took Ibrahim's home and his brother.
02:25But not his faith in Turkey's authoritarian leader.
02:35It's God's will that it happened, he says.
02:38It shouldn't be politicised.
02:42Our President didn't cause the earthquake.
02:46He did his best.
02:49Right across the road, Gozda and her aunt Suheila heard Ibrahim's words in disbelief and in agony.
02:57They lost three relatives.
03:02What I've just heard really offended me.
03:05Nobody helped us in any way.
03:08With our own efforts, our own means, we tried to reach our families during the first hours of the earthquake.
03:15We reached their dead bodies, hours later, days later.
03:21Were we in a different universe, or was he?
03:24What he said about Erdogan definitely was not true.
03:32For some here, the searching continues, like the torment.
03:39Selahattin and his wife Fatma are trying to find their son, daughter-in-law and five-year-old granddaughter.
03:48This was never out of her hands.
03:53They've been keeping a vigil here, as the rubble from their son's apartment block is cleared away and dumped.
04:03I still have hope because there are rumours my kids were rescued from here.
04:09I hope they are in the hospital.
04:12I still have this feeling inside me that they will get well and come back to us.
04:19The couple have already buried 23 relatives.
04:26As they go, Fatma spots a Turkish flag on the ground.
04:31They are quick to raise it up.
04:34On Sunday, Turks will vote in elections that could, perhaps, change everything.
04:39President Erdogan is already under pressure after 20 long years.
04:44And many will take their grief to the polls.
