Directorate General of Press and Information (BYEGM), has denied Cumhuriyet Daily's former editor in chief, Can Dündar's request of renewal of his permanent press card.
Evaluating Dündar's request of renewal in 2016, BYEGM denied Dündar's application and added that a decision whether Dündar's press card will be revoked, would be made in the next meeting of the Press Card Commission.
According to the report of Evrensel news website, BYEGM has stated that "The request of Can Dündar, who on every occasion defames Turkey, and propagandizes against Turkey attributing false statements has been denied due to national security policy".
Whether Dündar's press card will be revoked, will be decided in the next meeting of the Press Card Commission. (EA/DG)
