Turkish ambassador in Tirana says numerous arrests and state of emergency decree is normal procedure after a failed coup, instigated by “Fetullah Gulen organization” according to him. Hidayet Bayraktar told Top Channel that Albanian authorities have supported President Erdogan and urged them to fight “Gulenists” in the country.
“FETO is an organized terrorist structure, whose branches are extended even outside Turkey. The state of emergency was a necessity after the latest events. All our friends in the world gave their support to us, including Albania, as e friendly and brotherly nation. And we are grateful for this”, Bayraktar said.
Since Turkey remains one of the most favorite destinations for holidays among Albanians, Turkish ambassador urged people reassured that nothing can undermine this tradition. “As always, they will return with the best impressions from Turkey. I also know that many Albanians are using Turkish Airlines for flies abroad and our airports have all the commodities needed”, he added.
“Our relationship is based in pure and sincere feelings. Albania has announced that Turkey is a strategic partner state. Our aim is to dissolve this FETO terrorist organization anywhere it is present and expect the Albanian government to take the appropriate measures”, Bayraktar said.
