IFJ-INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF JOURNALIST Kozan Mayor Kazım Özgan: Don't You Fear God? We Demand an Investigation Against Kozan District Governor Şafak Gürçam and the Mayor, Who Are Trying to Cover Up the Kozan Atrocity. Join the Adana Governorate in filing a COMPLAINT against the Kozan District Governor and the Mayor for trying to cover up the Kozan Atrocity. The District Governor, unbecoming of a Civilian, defended the municipality in a biased manner. He accused animal lovers of publishing the news without consulting the authorities, claiming that animals were not eating each other out of hunger. Their email addresses are available. Our Adana Governor is just, compassionate, and an animal lover, and we believe he will do what is necessary. Nesrin Çıtırık/HayKonfed President ================================= SUBJECT: An investigation into Kozan District Governor Şafak Gürçam for his lack of impartiality and his accusations of gossiping against the animal welfare community, and a request for an investigation into the Mayor of Kozan... TO THE ADANA GOVERNOR'S HIGH OFFICE: Unfortunately, our request for the Kozan Municipality to hire a veterinarian and perform sterilizations for 10 years has not been accepted. Mayor Kazım Özgan has consistently rejected our request to hire a veterinarian and perform sterilizations, saying, "The coffers are empty, there's no money, we can't spend a single penny on that shelter," but he has continued the roundups. For six years, the municipality hasn't received even a single bottle of milk for the shelter, and the lives of 350 animals have been sustained by donations from caring citizens, provided by the animal lover working there. Mayor Kazim Özgan fired this animal lover from the shelter for opposing the roundups and appointed those who rounded up dogs at night to run the shelter. Despite the warehouse being full of food, the animals were STARVED to prevent them from eating, drinking, pooping, and urinating, leaving the shelter to fester. At this point, a veterinarian assigned to work at the Kozan Shelter by the Metropolitan Municipality began coming once or twice a week to perform sterilizations, purely for show. However, he abandoned the animals without even providing follow-up treatment. Footage of the animals eating each other, taken recently, surfaced on social media. kozan_vahsetini_ortmeye_calisan_kaymakamAfter this incident was reported on national TV, Kozan District Governor Şafak Gürçam went to the municipal shelter with officials. In his statement on the municipality's official website, the District Governor stated: 1. He accused volunteers at the shelter in a "gossip" tone unbecoming of a local authority, and unsubstantiatedly claimed that the animals were NOT EATING each other out of STARVATION to protect the municipality. 2. The District Governor defended the municipality by saying, "Both rehabilitation and neutering are within the metropolitan municipality's jurisdiction, but our municipality is doing what is necessary for these animals within the limits of its resources." 3. Although the video of these animals eating each other predates the COVID-19 restrictions, he defended the municipality by attributing this incident to these restrictions. Furthermore, since its establishment, there has never been a NIGHT WATCHER at the Kozan Shelter. However, the District Governor stated, "This may have been due to the recent staff reductions due to the coronavirus pandemic. Normally, staff were able to stay overnight," providing COMPLETELY FALSE information based on speculation. The District Governor stated, "According to their inspection, the Animal Shelter had more food than needed, and thanks to the donations made by philanthropists, there was always food at the shelter." He portrayed this municipality's dependence on food donated by philanthropists as if it were a sign of the municipality's success. 5. According to the official website of the Kozan Municipality, the Kozan District Governor, "Kozan District Governor Şafak Gürçam stated through social media accounts that some people are pursuing personal gain and that these posts are completely untrue..." It is unbecoming of a local official to ACCUSE and ACCUSE a community of gossip with vague terms. Furthermore, he should not have the right or authority to say that the dismemberment seen in the videos and the animals, all with visible bones, are untrue. 6. The District Governor, who complained about the abundance of dogs on the streets of Kozan, made no mention of the fact that the current veterinarian comes once or twice a week and performs sterilizations for show, meaning they are null and void. 7. The Kozan shelter, highly admired by the District Governor, was also visited by nearly 30 volunteers around the same time, and all volunteers agreed that "the animals were sick, mangy, covered in wounds, and in a miserable condition." The volunteers were not allowed into the shelter; they were admitted only under duress. CONCLUSION AND REQUEST: This very lengthy statement is filled with false and speculative statements that do not support the municipality. 1. It is based on facts and science.
