QA-22, 16 March 2018, Statement of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Hami Aksoy, in response to a question regarding an article that contains baseless allegations with regard to “the attempted abduction of a Swiss business person”

We utterly deny the baseless allegations contained in an article regarding “the attempted abduction of a Swiss business person” published on the internet site of the Swiss newspaper Tages Anzeiger that also paint our Embassy and our personnel as a target.

We would like to invite the newspaper that advanced these allegations and the Swiss authorities referred to in the article, should they intend to take up serious and factual matters, to focus on countering terrorist PKK and FETÖ elements that have found refuge in Switzerland.
