Communications Directorate reacts to scandalous map shared by CNN
The Communications Directorate has described the map shared by CNN International, which targets Turkey's demographic structure, as "concerning," stating that this approach, which involves ethnic speculation, is unacceptable.
CNN International shared a map titled 'Regions where Kurds live' in its broadcast and on its corporate accounts. On the map, a portion of Turkey was depicted as a Kurdish region. The map, which resembles the so-called Greater Middle East Project, drew significant public backlash. The Communications Directorate reacted to the map, which engages in ethnic speculation and is a product of imagination far removed from reality.
