    ANKARA STRONGLY CONDEMNS OF SHOOTING OF TURKISH SHEPHERD BY ARMENIAN BORDER GUARDS

    Ankara has said shooting of Turkish shepherd by Armenian border guards
    is nothing but excessive use of force against an unarmed civilian,
    warning Yerevan of dire consequences of wrong moves that may endanger
    regional stability and peace.

    Turkey strongly condemned the incident with a released statement.

    Turkish Foreign Ministry called on Armenia to act with restraint
    to avoid another tragic incident similar to death of a shepherd,
    Mustafa Ulker, who crossed the Armenian border to retrieve his lost
    sheep and was shot dead by Armenian border guards on Thursday.

    Ankara said it has launched diplomatic initiatives to investigate
    the incident. The body of the shepherd was brought to Turkey late
    on Thursday.

    Turkey stated that Armenia used escessive force in the recent case
    and killed an unarmed civilian, ignoring the fact that such crossing
    does not pose any threat to national security of the country.

    The incident yet again highlighted the need for commonsense in Armenian
    relations with its neighbors for normalization and sustainable peace
    in the volatile region, the statement concluded.
