Armenian NSS releases Turkish party leader.
Headed by the leader of Powerful Turkey Party Tuna Beklevic the Turkish delegation is leaving Armenia after being held at the Republic of Armenia’s National Security Services (NSS) and interrogated in Yerevan.
RA NSS press service told that they have offered the Turkish politicians to leave Armenia’s territory. It also said it has warned them that their behavior is “unacceptable.”
Tuna Beklevic had been “invited” to the NSS after he confirmed the news report about his crossing the border into Armenia. In a press conference in Yerevan he particularly said that together with some party members he had crossed the Armenia-Turkey border near the ruins of medieval Armenian town of Ani early in October.
“We crossed [the border] via a three-store bridge located in the ruins of Ani,” Beklevic had said, adding that their move ran in protest to the closure of the Armenia-Turkey border.
Russian front guards had denied any illegal border crossing in that area after widespread reports disseminated in Armenian media.
“We did not flee. Nor did we do it with bad faith. This was an action to condemn the activities of the two states. We don’t consider this an illegal action, but rather a call to the world for the border to be opened,” Beklevic had said.
