Retired Military Personnel Movement Denies Linking Protest to Political Developments

The "Retired Military Personnel Movement" stated that "some media outlets have reported false news fabricated by them, claiming that yesterday's protest by retired military personnel was connected to political developments in the country," refuting these reports "in their entirety." In a statement, they emphasized that "their demands are purely related to living conditions, specifically rejecting the draft decree regarding salary increases for military and retired personnel, which was included in the government's agenda, and had this decree not been included, the protest would have been postponed to another date."
