TURKISH EMBASSY IN BAKU MAKES STATEMENT ON THE INFORMATION ON TERROR THREATS TO THE EMBASSY

Azeri Press Agency, Azerbaijan
April 26 2006

Turkish embassy in Azerbaijan made a statement on the information on
terror threats to the embassy. The embassy told APA that Azerbaijan
media spread exaggerated information and comments on the matter.

“Turkish Security Bodies cautioned the embassy against the probability
of terror acts in the embassy on April 24. We contacted relevant police
body and beefed up the police forces and strengthened the security
in the embassy. Azerbaijani official bodies reacted immediately and
send up additional forces to the embassy. Armenians stage protests
outside Turkish embassies in various countries every year on April
24-false Armenian Genocide day. There is a doubt that the threat may
be connected with Armenian society. There is no concrete information
confirming the source of intimidation to be Armenians. No actions were
held outside the embassy. We feel ourselves at home in Azerbaijan”.
