Following the events, as 12punto, we called Ankara Provincial Chair Yener Yıldırım, who was alleged to have been dismissed, but we could not reach him. We then called Local Governments Policy Chair Burak Akburak, one of the names whose resignation was demanded at the meeting. When we attempted to ask our questions, Akburak replied angrily, "I am not available right now."
