The Lapta–Alsancak–Çamlıbel Municipality has issued an official clarification regarding claims circulating on social media about excavations at the old Greek cemetery in Lapta.

Upon completion of the work, the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage will handle the restoration of the area.
The municipality urged citizens not to trust unverified information and to rely only on official statements.
