The provocateurs are on stage again! They said, "A foreign national injured the police with a brick," but the reality turned out to be completely different.

The Presidency Communication Directorate Disinformation Combat Center (DCC) announced that the claim that "a foreign national in Gaziantep injured a police officer by throwing a brick from the roof of a house, and his condition is critical" shared on some social media accounts is not true.

DEPUTY COMMISSIONER INJURED WHILE INTERVENING IN A FIGHT

In the statement made on DCC's social media account, it was stated that a dispute broke out between residents of a building in Gaziantep's Barak neighborhood and a group on the street, and a deputy commissioner who arrived at the scene was injured when a wooden chair thrown from the building hit his head, but his condition is not life-threatening.

"THE CLAIMS ARE COMPLETELY PROVOCATIVE"

The statement also mentioned that the treatment of the injured police officer is ongoing and included the following statements: "Both parties involved in the incident are Turkish citizens, and the claims are completely provocative. A total of 6 suspects, including 4 residents of the mentioned building and 2 individuals from the group they had an argument with, have been apprehended, and an investigation has been initiated regarding the incident. Do not pay attention to baseless claims aimed at provoking the public."
