Communications Director Altun issues statement on 'Syrian refugee provocation' monitoring

Communications Director Fahrettin Altun, in a post on his X social media account, stated, "The negative atmosphere being created in public opinion regarding Syrian refugees for some time now and the provocations causing an increase in tension are being closely monitored.

Efforts by certain circles, led by anti-Turkey elements, to disrupt the peace of our country through provocative activities aimed at testing public order will not achieve their goal, thanks to the dedicated work of all elements of our state."

The statement continued, "In this context, our state's relevant units, under the coordination of the Directorate of Communications, are continuing their work on a 24-hour basis against baseless claims put forward on many social media platforms, intentionally fabricated news using manipulated information, and all disinformation activities intended to incite our citizens to provocation.

To support these efforts, we kindly request that our citizens act sensitively by not giving credence to baseless news, as always, by considering the dimension and possibility of disinformation when sharing content, and by relying only on credible sources, primarily our official authorities," it said.
