Iran Press/ Asia: Türkiye has summoned the Swiss ambassador to Ankara over a demonstration in Zurich against President Tayyip Erdogan, including burning of an effigy and banners being displayed, a foreign ministry source said on Thursday.
According to Turkish diplomatic sources, following the burning of the president in effigy and banners targeting Erdogan in the Swiss financial capital, Jean-Daniel Ruch was invited to the ministry by Mehmet Kemal Bozay, Türkiye’s deputy foreign minister and its permanent representative to the EU.
The Swiss ambassador was told that “provocations against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Turkish flag are unacceptable,” according to Turkish state media.
Türkiye has demanded a Swiss investigation to track down and punish the perpetrators.
This is not the first time that Ankara has complained to Switzerland over anti-Erdogan protests on Swiss soil.
