Yesterday (February 8) national state television TRT (Turkish Radio and Television Association) had broadcasted the news reporting “The security forces have entered the basement which had been under the control of the terrorists. In the clashes, around 60 terrorists have been neutralized”.

Following the TRT broadcast, many newspapers such as Sabah, Cumhuriyet, Akşam, Takvim and Türkiye daily have conveyed the same news on their first page.

Yet the report has been removed from the TRT’s news website and the content can also not be accessed on Google search.

The report is also not placed on the Twitter account of TRT yet the television has not made statement regarding the matter. (EA/DG)
