A man has been shot and wounded after opening fire at the Ukrainian
consulate in Istanbul in Turkey, reports BBC News.

The man claimed to be carrying a bomb and pulled out a gun and started
firing, Istanbul’s Governor Muammer Guler said.

"We don’t think it is a bomb, but the police are checking it, and
will probably blow it up, just in case," Guler said.

He said the motive appeared personal rather than political.

The 29-year-old man had a Ukrainian wife, who is currently in her
home country, the governor added.

The assailant was shot and wounded and taken to hospital, but was
reported not to be in a life-threatening condition.

No one else was injured in the incident, which took place at the
entrance to the consulate in Florya, a district on Istanbul’s
European side.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
