Porn movie streamed through municipality loudspeaker in Turkey’s north

KASTAMONU

A porn movie broadcast has been streamed through a municipality loudspeaker in one of the most populated neighborhoods of the Black Sea province of Kastamonu, in what the local mayor described as an “unmoral provocation,” Doğan News Agency has reported.One local witness in the Kuzeykent neighborhood recorded 51 seconds of footage of the porn broadcasted from the loudspeaker at around 1:00 a.m. with a mobile phone and it immediately circulated on social media.Kastamonu Mayor Tahsin Babaş made a statement on his Facebook account over the incident, saying it had no connection with the municipality.“The unmoral provocation that had been conducted by intercepting the announcement system of our municipality and heard in certain spots in our Kuzeykent neighborhood has no relation with our institution. The necessary legal processes will be launched as soon as possible for those who are responsible for this unmoral act and we apologize to our precious fellow townsmen for this situation,” Babaş said.Local security officials meanwhile said they suspected that the municipality frequency was intercepted.“We think that they intercepted the municipality frequency because it occurred in only one region. It would have occurred everywhere if it was the municipality’s central announcement system. One can broadcast what he or she wants after spotting the frequency wave,” authorities said, adding that an investigation into the incident was underway.Some social media users, however, speculated that municipality workers forgot to turn off the announcement system of the loudspeaker while watching a porn movie.
