According to a report by Hurriyet newspaper, in a meeting with close associates and AKP MPs, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke about his plans to appoint a governor to Afrin.

“Within a few days, the positions in local administration will be appointed including a governor” Erdogan reportedly said.

Erdogan also said that amendments are needed to help families of the gang members who were killed in Afrin but didn’t make a specific proposal.
