In Ankara, 10 people who started the Democracy Vigil in front of the YSK building were taken into custody.

Call to attend the vigil

Speaking at the vigil, Ilay Eroğlu underlined that the signed minutes and the number of votes shared by the YSK did not match, and added: "It is clear that the YSK is trying to usurp the will of the people. We have started a Democracy Vigil and we invite all the people of Ankara to join us. Likewise, we invite all citizens to start vigils in front of the YSK buildings in their own cities. We will protect our votes and our will, and we will not be a victim of the same unlawfulness once again."
