A protection area officer wanted to take a statement down after more than 2 thousand trucks of sea sand were taken from the Kaş Patara special protection area to be sold to greenhouses. He was later fired due to “insulting the President.” The officer claimed that as he was taking the statement down, he was prevented by a Justice and Development Party (AKP) district Chairman with the words that his commanders were informed of the situation. The officer replied to the chairman, saying, “It doesn’t matter if the regional director came, even if the President himself came here, I am still going to take down this statement.” Afterwards, the officer was kicked out of the area and was fired from his job by the District Governor due to “insulting the President.”
