土耳其因据称与被禁库尔德工人党(PKK)有关系而将两名亲库尔德的市长撤职, Turkey has removed two pro-Kurdish mayors from office due to alleged ties to the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), replacing them with state-appointed administrators. 这使自10月以来被撤职的市长总数达到6人。 This brings the total number of dismissed mayors since October to six. 土耳其政府将这些行动作为安全措施进行辩护,而反对党和人权团体则声称这些指控出于政治动机,认为它们破坏民主。 The Turkish government defends these actions as security measures, while opposition parties and human rights groups claim the charges are politically motivated, arguing that they undermine democracy. 土耳其、美国和欧盟指定库尔德工人党为恐怖组织。 The PKK is designated as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and the EU.
