DEM Party denied reports that four municipal co-mayors were removed from duty in Diyarbakir. The Democratic Local Governments Council stated that these claims do not reflect the truth and requested that the public only take into account official statements made by the party and the council.

The DEM Party's Democratic Local Government Board announced that news published in some media outlets claiming that four municipal co-mayors in Diyarbakır were dismissed do not reflect the truth.

In a statement made on the Board's social media account, it was noted that in recent days, some media outlets have published news claiming that the co-mayors of four municipalities in Diyarbakır were dismissed. The statement said that these claims do not reflect the truth.

"OFFICIAL STATEMENTS SHOULD BE TAKEN AS A BASIS"

It was requested that news published other than the official statements made by the party and the board regarding elected municipal mayors should not be taken into account.

In the statement, an appeal was also made to media outlets, drawing attention to the public's right to access accurate and reliable information. It was emphasized that instead of news based on rumors and hearsay, the official statements of the DEM Party and the Democratic Local Government Board should be taken as a basis.

The Board stated, "We remind once again that media outlets should respect the public's right to access accurate and reliable information and should base their reporting on the official statements of our Party and our Board, rather than making news based on rumors and hearsay."
