Armed Turks arrested in the heart of Athens

Two armed militants who were arrested on Iulianu Street in Exarchia on Thursday, shortly after setting cars on fire, turned out to be Turkish citizens.

Police officers who were patrolling in the area where three cars were set on fire on Thursday on Zaimi Street and Iulianu Street discovered a gray car that seemed suspicious to them. The patrol officers ordered the driver to stop, but he, on the contrary, pressed the gas and tried to escape. A chase began and the car reached Iulianu. There the driver lost control and crashed into a parked car.

The officers asked the two occupants to get out of the car and saw one of them bend down and reach into his sock, where he had a concealed weapon, to pull it out. Quickly reacting to the threat, patrol officers pounced on the man, subdued him and arrested him, and are now looking into what the two were doing in Exarchia and who they might have been in contact with.

Greek media first published information that the detainees were citizens of Albania, then changed the information to Turkey. It is likely that these are ordinary criminals, but only the lazy do not talk about the connections of anarchists with the intelligence services of other countries (including Turkey) in the Greek journalistic community.

On Thursday, due to the arson of vehicles, traffic was stopped along Zaimi Street to Alexandros Avenue. At the same time, authorities were alerted to car fires on both 3rd September Street and Solomou Street. In addition, garbage cans were “engulfed in flames” on Saripolu Street.

They are called to blame for what is happening anarchistswho, during a demonstration in memory of Tempi on February 28, threw Molotov cocktails at the territory adjacent to the parliament, as a result of which the police used tear gas, effectively dispersing the participants in the rally at Syntagma.
