“The news published on a foreign website asserting that Turkey is involved in the incident in which the first members attending the Train and Equip program were abducted by a terrorist organization while returning to Syria is completely fictitious.
Alleging that Turkey has relations with groups which it has designated as terrorist organizations is a deliberate and viciousslander.”
