Two residence permits registered to two foreigners found at Interior Minister Yerlikaya's residence

A scandal at the residence of Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya in Ankara's Çankaya district has caused widespread public reaction. During address inspections conducted by the Interior Ministry's Presidency of Migration Management, it was discovered that two foreigners were registered at the ministerial residence. It was determined that these two individuals were military school students.

According to a report by Tolga Şardan from T24, the Presidency of Migration Management began nationwide inspections via police and gendarmerie teams to verify the addresses of asylum seekers and holders of temporary residence permits. The Ankara Provincial Directorate of Migration Management also prepared lists for address verification procedures in the capital and forwarded them to local police units.

During the inspections carried out in May, a night watchman on duty in the Çankaya district arrived at an address near Atakule to check whether the individuals named were living there. It was alleged that the list held by the watchman included the names of two foreigners living at Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya's residence. The watchman was treated as a suspect by the police officers providing security for the residence, and the situation was reported to the relevant police station.

Following the incident, it was stated that Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya ordered the appointment of an inspector regarding the matter. Investigations revealed that the two individuals at the address in question were Kyrgyz military school students who had applied for long-term residence to obtain "weekend leave" permits.

Following these developments, dismissals occurred at the Ankara Provincial Directorate of Migration Management, and it was stated that administrative action was taken against more than 10 personnel.
