"ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE"

The statement shared by Yerlikaya on his X account is as follows:

"In 2024, we hosted over 62 million tourists. Our tourism sector is the shining star of our country.

However, in recent days, images have appeared on social media from certain businesses that have caused public outrage.

These images are absolutely unacceptable!

I have assigned our Deputy Minister, our Director General of Security, and our Deputy General Commander of the Gendarmerie to this matter.

We absolutely do not want such images to occur again.

To this end, a meeting will be held tomorrow in Muğla, under the coordination of our Deputy Minister and with the participation of our Governors and security units, regarding 'the measures and inspections that must be taken.'

Our Police and Gendarmerie on land, and our Coast Guard Command at sea, will continue their inspections without interruption and with determination.

The inspections conducted and their results will be announced to the public in a transparent manner."
