Overview

• Turkey’s Communications Directorate said the microphone shut off once the five-minute speaking slot expired at a UN high-level meeting on the Palestinian question.
• Officials noted that applause intermittently paused the address and extended the time before the system muted the audio.
• The statement added that the same time-control procedure was applied to the president of Indonesia.
• Live streams by TRT Haber and Anadolu showed the audio loss, and the on-air translator told viewers there was a technical failure.
• The newspaper Sabah had raised the possibility of deliberate disruption or a cyberattack, a suggestion not supported by the official account.
