Emphasizing that the actions of the police to ensure safety and security were distorted by one-sided video editing, Retired Policemen Association emphasized that the police organization should not be destroyed.

The Association, which made a statement to the press about the events in front of the Assembly of the Republic during the discussion of the New Municipalities Law, noted that the movements aimed at ensuring the safety and security of the area were distorted by one-sided video editing.

Reminding that the Police Force takes its power from the constitution and the laws and carries out its duty 24 hours a day to ensure the peace and security of the people.

Retired Policemen Association President Nurettin Çırakoğlu, stated that the reputation of the organization cannot be shaken with baseless comments that go beyond its purpose.

The statement made by Chairman Nurettin Çırakoğlu on behalf of Empolder is as follows:

“On 25.08.2022, during the discussion of the “(Special) Law on the Unification of Municipalities” in the General Assembly of the Republic Assembly, some unions and municipal employees took part in front of the Assembly.

It is seen that criticisms that go beyond its purpose were given on some media platforms by showing him as if he had strangled his throat and another police officer as if he punched the same activist.

The aforementioned incident is an incident that occurred when the other police officer intervened and tried to prevent the activist in question, after the activist attacked a police officer who was trying to fulfill his duty.

If all the video footage is watched, it is obvious and clear that the event is not as it is reflected to the public, but that only a certain moment is photographed and some media organs interpret the event according to their own thoughts.

It should be known to everyone that the police organization, which derives its strength from the constitution and laws, is on duty and at the service of its people 24 hours a day with all its elements in order to ensure the peace and security of its people, and that the reputation of the police organization cannot be shaken by groundless comments that go beyond its purpose.

It was announced to the public with respect”
