Authorities deny ban on Nazım Hikmet's work

The presidency's Communications Directorate has refuted claims that late poet Nazım Hikmet Ran's book, "Kuvayı Milliye Destanı," was banned from public libraries, clarifying that the prohibition applies to a comic book referencing the work.

The clarification came after media reports alleged that the Culture and Tourism Ministry had removed Ran's book from library shelves.
