市长杰米尔·图加伊加入总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安的正义与发展党后，抗议者在伊兹密尔聚集，示威者要求他辞职。
Protesters gathered in Izmir after Mayor Cemil Tugay joined President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s AK Party, with demonstrators calling for his resignation.
周三，超过1000人在伊兹密尔聚集，抗议市长杰米尔·图加伊决定加入总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安领导的执政党正义与发展党。
More than 1,000 people gathered in Izmir on Wednesday to protest Mayor Cemil Tugay’s decision to join President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling AK Party.
抗议者抬着印有图加伊照片的棺材和要求他辞职的标语牌，而警察封锁了通往共和国广场的通道并监控示威活动。
Protesters carried a coffin bearing Tugay’s photograph and signs calling for his resignation, while police blocked access to Republic Square and monitored the demonstration.
图加伊于周三加入正义与发展党，此前他在6月辞去在野党人民共和党党籍后以独立人士身份任职。他的这一举动使执政党控制了土耳其第三大城市的市长办公室，尽管在野党仍在市议会中占据多数席位。
Tugay joined the AK Party on Wednesday after previously serving as an independent following his resignation from the opposition CHP in June. His move gives the ruling party control of the mayor’s office in Turkey’s third-largest city, although opposition parties still hold a majority on the municipal council.
