During the press conference held on Tuesday, Mariya had stated that responsibility must be taken if any government documents were being destroyed.

“These are criminal offences. We urge those committing this crime to refrain from doing so, for it is those that will be held accountable tomorrow. We advise you to refrain from giving into any sort of orders and to withhold the destruction of these documents,” said Mariya.
