Profile
TheCity of Amasya is the municipal administration responsible for governing the city of Amasya in northern Turkey. It provides local government services to residents, covering areas such as public infrastructure, urban planning, and community welfare. The municipality manages the city’s budget, collects local taxes, and maintains records for civil registration and permits. It operates an official website that shares information, facilitates online service requests, and publishes municipal announcements. As a public sector body, it follows the regulations set by Turkish national and local government authorities.
The organisation serves the population of Amasya city and the wider Amasya Province. It is notable for a cyber incident on 10 February 2014, when the hacktivist group RedHack breached its website, exfiltrated AKP membership applications, and leaked school expenditure records. During that attack, RedHack also defaced the site, altered displayed gas prices to zero, and posted anti‑corruption messages linked to protests against Turkey’s new internet legislation. The incident highlighted the municipality’s digital presence and its vulnerability to hacktivist actions. The City of Amasya remains a municipal entity with no private parent or subsidiary, operating solely as part of Turkey’s local administration.
