Amed co-mayor Mızraklı: What is being seized is the people's will

Amed Metropolitan Municipality co-mayor Selçuk Mızraklı, whose charge was sized by the AKP - MHP government that appointed a trustee, said: “What has been usurped is the will of the people”.

Amed Metropolitan Municipality co-mayor Selçuk Mızraklı, who was dismissed by the Minister of Interior that appointed a trustee in his place, said he did not receive any notification that he had been dismissed.

Mızraklı said: "At 6 o'clock this morning, the doors of the municipality were broken and police entered into the municipality. I'm going to the city hall. We're witnessing yet another illegal situation. The society had entered a new phase in line with the values ​​of democracy and law. Unfortunately though, neither the constitution nor the elections are being respected."

Addressing the people of Turkey, Mızraklı said: "Everyone living in Turkey should know that nobody can feel protected by the law. What is being usurped is the will of the people."
