Kırıkkale is buzzing over a Photoshop edit made to a photo of MHP Deputy Halil Öztürk walking with MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli.
It has been claimed that Öztürk reduced the crowd in the photo to create the impression that he was having a private meeting with Bahçeli.
SHARP REACTION FROM REPORTER ÖZCAN
Kırıkkale News Agency reporter Özlem Özcan mocked the situation in a post on her social media account. Sharing both the original and the edited versions of the photo, Özcan stated:
"Dear Deputy, Attorney Halil Öztürk, I think you should change your advisor. In fact, if you need a graphic designer, I have some very good friends I work with! While they are trying to elevate you in the eyes of the public, the situation they have put you in is very ugly! Because while being an MHP Kırıkkale Deputy is a very valuable title, your effort to artificially show yourself as very close to the Leader through Photoshop tricks is meaningless! The strange thing is that you shared both photos yourself."
BECAME A SUBJECT OF RIDICULE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
This move by Öztürk quickly caught the attention of social media users.
