A serious incident has shocked Turkey, following a gun attack on Aydın Çavuşoğlu, the brother of former Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu.

Turkish authorities have launched investigations to fully uncover the circumstances of this event, which has received widespread attention in the local media.

According to Turkish media reports, Aydın Çavuşoğlu was shot inside his office, under circumstances that have not yet been fully clarified.

As a result of his injuries, he was urgently transported to the hospital, where he is in critical condition and is being treated in the intensive care unit.

The event takes on an added political dimension due to the family connection with Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, who has been at the head of Turkish diplomacy for years.

Sources indicate that the former minister was abroad at the time of the attack and was immediately informed, while his quick return to Turkey is expected.

Turkish media reports that the injury was caused by gunfire inside the victim's workplace.

Meanwhile, authorities have launched a broad investigation to identify the perpetrator and clarify the motives of the attack, while so far no official version has been made public and all leads remain open.
