As claims about certain districts becoming provinces frequently come to the fore, the latest detail from the Turkish Statistical Institute regarding the issue has drawn attention. According to the relevant data, a district must meet the "100,000 population and 30 km" criteria to become a province. So, which districts meet this criterion? Details are in our news...

The Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) had published certain criteria regarding which districts would become provinces. It was stated that economic criteria are taken into account for a district to become a province, while factors such as education, transportation, social services, and community structure are also considered.
