Police forces raided Tutak Municipality’s building late yesterday evening and detained municipal employees, who were later taken to Tutak District Police Headquarters. Police also called DBP Co-mayor Fırat Öztürk, who was not in Ağrı, telling him that he was dismissed and informing him about some 'documents to be given to him’.

Within 2 hours, Tutak district governor Erkan İsa Erat was appointed as trustee to the position of the dismissed Co-mayor Öztürk.
