Aydin Cavusoglu, the brother of Turkey's former Foreign Minister and current Member of Parliament Mevlut Cavusoglu, has been targeted in a shooting incident in Antalya.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing Turkish media reports, the businessman was attacked by an unidentified individual at his office late yesterday evening. Following the assault, Cavusoglu was immediately transported to a local hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. Medical officials report that he remains in the intensive care unit, and his condition is described as critical.
Local law enforcement authorities in Antalya have launched a comprehensive investigation into the motives behind the shooting. Security footage from the vicinity of the office is being reviewed, and a manhunt is underway to apprehend the perpetrator. Mevlut Cavusoglu, a prominent figure in Turkish politics who served as the nation's top diplomat for several years, has not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident.
Antalya, a major resort city on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, is the hometown and political stronghold of the Cavusoglu family. The region has seen increased security measures following the high-profile attack as investigators work to determine if the shooting was related to the victim's business activities or political affiliations.
