OREANDA-NEWS. Threats to the Russian diplomatic mission in Ankara are illegal, the Turkish side is responsible for the information campaign against the Russian ambassador and its consequences. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova on Sunday in an interview with the Russian television channel.

“I just want to remind everyone, including our colleagues, that any manifestation of aggression and threat, whether in social networks, whether during a demonstration in front of the diplomatic department, is outlawed things. Therefore, the forces that were involved in pumping they needed to understand these aggressive slogans, this direct information campaign, they should understand that the responsibility for the course of this information campaign and for its consequences lies with the Turkish side", she said.

Zakharova noted that in this case there is reason to talk about a planned campaign. “I can’t say specifically who was behind it, but I have a feeling that after all, a thing or phenomenon is staged". “Therefore, against this background, when this tragedy sounds like a refrain every day, to specifically cause people to feel aggression and start these emotions - I think this is an extremely dangerous thing”, Zakharova said.
