Turkey’s ambassador to Skopje on March 28 condemned an attack on the Turkish flag in the northwestern Macedonia city of Kalkandelen.
After images of the attack were shared on Facebook, Ambassador Tülin Erkal Kara condemned the incident on her social media account.
“I strongly condemn this threatening attack which is encouraged by hatred. This incident aims to harm our ties of brotherhood and friendship. I invite all our people to be foresighted in light of this provocative incident in Kalkandelen,” Kara said.
The Macedonian Turkish Movement Party, the Macedonian Turkish National Movement, the Turkish Democratic Party and the Macedonian Turkish Civil Society Association also condemned the attack as an assault on the common culture of Macedonia.
It is still not known who carried out the attack and an investigation is reportedly underway.
