Garo Paylan had claimed that an assassination team was formed in Europe

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) İstanbul MP Garo Paylan had declared that he was provided intelligence that assassination plans are prepared in Turkey against academics, journalists, writers and Alawi and Armenian spiritual leaders who had to move to European countries during Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) governing term.

Paylan said:

“My sources are very solid. This intelligence came from Europe last week and I have it verified from different sources.

“There is not merely an intelligence but precautions taken.

“Certain people have been put under protection in Europe. They are on alert for a possible attack against certain institutions.

“There is a strong intelligence that there are three assassins in Europe for an assassination that will create a stir”. (EKN/TK)
