TRUSTEE APPOINTED
 
DEM Party Mersin MP Ali Bozan, who was prevented to entering the municipality, stated that the police said that a search was being conducted inside. Bozan said, "We were prevented from entering Akdeniz Municipality by the police and were told that the trustee had issued a ban order. 'A trustee has been appointed to Akdeniz Municipality and this will be published on the website of Mersin Governorate'. Trustee system is usurpation, trustee system is theft of will, we do not accept the decision to appoint a trustee to Akdeniz Municipality."
