Due to the Israel-Iran war, there has been an unusual density at the Bazargan Border Gate, and claims that MOSSAD elements could infiltrate Turkey through uncontrolled migration have caused public outrage. The Presidency of Communications stated that the images circulated were recorded at the Kapıköy Border Gate in Van and that the claims were made to incite xenophobia.

The Communications Directorate announced that the claim shared by some domestic and foreign accounts stating "There is an unusual density at the Iran-Turkey Bazargan Border Gate, MOSSAD elements may infiltrate the country through uncontrolled migration" is unfounded.
"THE IMAGES WERE RECORDED ON JUNE 3"
In a statement from the Disinformation Combat Center, it was determined that "The images were recorded not at the Gürbulak Border Gate as claimed, but at the Kapıköy Border Gate in Van. Furthermore, these images were recorded on June 3, before the tensions between Iran and Israel began."
Our Ministry of Interior and relevant security units confirm that there is no unusual activity, density, or irregular crossing situation at both the Kapıköy and Gürbulak border gates. In contacts with Iranian officials, it was also reported that there were only 25-30 people at their borders.
"AN ATTEMPT TO CREATE A PERCEPTION OF INSTABILITY"
Our borders are monitored 24/7 by our security units with the most advanced physical security systems. It is assessed that the mentioned images and claims aim to mislead the public, create social outrage, incite xenophobia, and create a perception of instability.
Sharing false information to create fear and panic among the public is a crime under Article 217/A of the Turkish Penal Code. It is respectfully announced to the public."
