Following recent developments and criticisms regarding the administrative structure of Şırnak University, the "Şehri Nuh Platformu," representing a wide range of civil society organizations in the region, announced its official stance. The coalition issued a statement on July 7, 2026, clarifying that it stands by the university management and the Rector personally [1].

Importance of Stability in Şırnak's Academic Institutions In its statement, the Şehri Nuh Platformu emphasized that Şırnak University is one of the main pillars of the province's cultural and economic development. According to the platform's spokesperson, maintaining managerial stability in this institution is vital for the continuity of scientific and research projects. The group believes that any instability in the university management could seriously harm the progress of the region's youth [2].

Response to Disinformation Campaigns Another part of the statement addressed the efforts of certain groups to create controversy around the university management. The Şehri Nuh Platformu declared that these actions aim to damage the university's academic image and create despair among students. The coalition called on all responsible institutions and the local people to be vigilant against undocumented news and not allow political interests to prevail over educational goals [1][3].

The University's Role in Regional Development In recent years, the Şırnak University management has initiated extensive efforts to attract educational investments and create links between industry and the university. Highlighting these achievements, the Şehri Nuh Platformu noted that supporting the current management is, in fact, supporting the career and educational future of Şırnak's children. They emphasized that the university should not become a tool for personal or group vendettas [3].

Solidarity of Civil Society Organizations This statement, signed by several non-governmental organizations and trade representatives, demonstrates a local consensus in support of state and educational institutions. The Şehri Nuh Platformu concluded by stating it will continue to monitor developments and, if necessary, take further steps to protect the reputation of Şırnak University [2].
