IT HAD BECOME A TREND ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Tuğçe Orhan had previously come to the forefront due to comments made about her on social media. Some users shared that Orhan resembled 'Cindy Doll', and the topic quickly sparked discussions on social media.
AK PARTY DEPUTY HAD REACTED
AK Party Kayseri Deputy Ayşe Böhürler also reacted to the comments, stating, "If a male district governor makes news with his success, a female district governor should also be newsworthy with her success. Not based on beauty criteria. It is an extremely discriminatory language."
