INSTANT INTERVENTION FROM THE POLICE OFFICERDuring the negotiations held here, the police did not allow a banner to be brought. However, the group still wanted to make a statement. The police officer intervened with a loudspeaker in response to the remarks about the Turkish Armed Forces' cross-border operations. "INTERVENTION WILL BE MADE IF CRITICISM OF TAF OPERATIONS CONTINUES"The police, who did not allow the statement, surrounded the group after three warnings. The police officer said to the group in the circle, "A banner that is subject to the seizure order of the judicial authorities, which constitutes a crime, was not allowed to be used. If the action turns into unlawfulness in this process, it will not be allowed to continue. You cannot continue the action in an ongoing negotiation event. We will allow you to exit from the back. If you do not disperse, intervention will be made. It will not be allowed to criticize the fight against the terrorist organization. If the criticism of the cross-border operations carried out by the Turkish Armed Forces continues, intervention will be made," he said. The group in the circle left the area without making the statement.
