The municipal council of Ceyhan district in Turkey’s southern province of Adana has revoked the town twinning protocol with Frisco city in the United States over the disputes between the two countries.

Ceyhan Municipal Council on Aug. 4 unanimously voted for revoking the protocol signed in January 2015 between then Ceyhan Mayor Alemdar Öztürk and then Frisco Mayor Maher Maso.

Councilor Eyüp İkidağ, a member of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), tabled a motion to revoke the protocol citing the disputes between the U.S. and Turkey.
