Social Affairs Ministry Employees Not Directed to Participate in Mourning March

The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs has denied rumors circulating on social media regarding the alleged directive for ministry employees and those working under the ministry to participate in today's mourning march.

"Reports claiming that families housed in temporary shelters have been instructed by the ministry to take part in today’s march are also untrue. Families residing in shelters under the Ministry's authority live there and will continue to do so as long as they require assistance. The ministry's entire resources are dedicated to and will always serve exclusively to address social issues," the statement from the ministry reads.
