After a cat was blamed for widespread power blackouts that disrupted vote-counting during last year's presidential elections, Turkey's energy minister Taner Yildiz said such incidents will not be repeated.
"The power lines are monitored by helicopters, a total of 16,000 staff work to ensure there are no power cuts," the Daily Sabah reported Yildiz as saying.
