Interior Minister Yerlikaya restricts press access

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya's program in Ankara today was opened only to agency reporters. With the latest police decree, which particularly sparked a reaction from the MHP, on the agenda, journalists were expected to ask questions on the matter.

However, in accordance with the decision taken by the Ministry, independent journalists were not admitted to the program. Yet, in public events, a journalist has the right to cover the proceedings without waiting for any permission or invitation.
