Density in Denber leads to entrance issues in Istanbul
Istanbul Governor’s Office bans entry and exit from Taksim Square, stating it is a hoax
Recently, there have been claims circulating on social media that the entrance and exit of Istanbul’s central square, Taksim (DMM), have been banned. These claims were attributed to a statement made by DMM’s social media account. However, according to a report by AA, the official news agency of Turkey, these claims are false.
The Istanbul Governor’s Office clarified that there is no ban on the entry and exit of Taksim Square. The statement made by DMM’s social media account was misleading, as it suggested that there were restrictions in place. The Governor’s Office confirmed that the decision taken regarding the square is limited to actions that may disrupt public order and does not affect the daily life of the city.
The Governor’s Office emphasized that only individuals, groups, and vehicles that are likely to participate in activities that could lead to disturbances have been monitored. The scope of the decision is solely focused on maintaining public order and safety in the city.
In conclusion, the rumors about the ban on entry and exit from Taksim Square are unfounded. The Governor’s Office has assured the public that there are no restrictions in place and that normal life in Istanbul continues as usual.
