As the debt of the Siirt Municipality in Turkey’s Kurdish-majority southeast has topped 115 million lira, the state-appointed trustee, also the governor, has put 19 immovables up for sale for an estimated price of 20 million 862 thousand lira.

Launching a similar campaign itself, Siirt Municipality has requested damages from dismissed co-mayors Işık and Turhan and 23 municipal council members who were investigated for "writing off the default interest of outstanding water bills."

The Council of State ruled to dismiss Mayor Selim Sadak of the southeastern province of Siirt from his post following an appeal by the Ministry of Interior in relation to a 10 month long prison sentence he received on terrorism related charges.
