Breaking News: Trustee appointed to another DEM Party municipality

DEM Party Ağrı MP Nejla Demir announced that a trustee has been appointed to the Kağızman Municipality in Kars.

In a post on her X account, Demir stated, "The policy of appointing trustees by instrumentalizing the judiciary is a usurpation of will, colonial law, and plunder! This lawlessness, which ignores the will of the people, is clearly hostility toward the people. The appointment of a trustee to our Kağızman Municipality at 02:00 in the middle of the night with hundreds of police officers is a usurpation of will and the plunder of what belongs to the people."
