The Turkish intelligence services received information on a provocation being prepared by an Azerbaijani-Turkish organization — the Union on Struggle against Baseless Claims of Armenians, Yerkramas paper reported.
The Turkish intelligence services are especially concerned over the fact that representatives of police and army, who are in sympathy with Turkish nationalists protesting against the liturgy in the Armenian church, could be involved in the provocation organization
The Editor-in-Chief of Zhamanak Istanbul-based Armenian-language paper Ara Gochunian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that this information does not correspond to the reality. “The liturgy will take place on the named date,” he said.
