Sevgili KHK'lı kayıplar hakkında endişe duyanlar.

Naçizane önerim bilgi kirliliğine ve spekülasyonlara neden olmadan bu olayın çözülmesine katkıda bulunmak.

Altı kayıptan dördü emniyet mensupları tarafından bulundu. İki kayıp daha var.

Sabah Avukat açıklamalarını bekleyelim. https://t.co/YAUbiEJiUi

My humble recommendation is the following: Let us contribute to the resolution of this incident without causing misinformation or speculations. Four of the missing have been found by security officers. There are two more missing. Let us wait for the statement of the lawyers." (RT/SD)
