Istanbul’s mayor accuses Anadolu Agency of manipulating election results
DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) – The mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu, criticized Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency on Sunday for manipulating the results of the presidential elections in favor of Erdogan.
Imamoglu said, “Based on the figures we have, Kemal Kilicdaroglu is Turkey’s new president.”
Earlier today, unconfirmed videos showing a single actor at a polling place in Harran, Salinurfa province, a predominantly Arab region of Turkey, filling out several ballots in favor of Erdogan has surfaced and been reported on by local media.
The polls in Turkey closed at 5 pm local time to begin the counting process, which may last into the late hours of this evening to then officially announce the final election results.
