Municipality Mayor in Diyarbakir Abdullah Demirbaž, who was charged
for allegedly abusing office. The mayor demanded those who desire to
work in the city hall to know Kurdish, Armenian, or Arab in addition

"When the MFA hires new employees it demands that they know either
English or French, which is not discrimination, while demanding the
