TURKSTAT has released new data on candidate districts in the province: Alanya is on the list!

Alanians, outraged by the fact that TURKSTAT did not include Alanya in the list of candidates for the title of province, can exhale. The Institute of Statistics has published a new list in which Alanya is in second place. The reasons for not including Alanya in the previous list are not reported. Perhaps it was just a mistake, or maybe some kind of veiled message to the authorities of Alanya. Who knows...
