    TURKEY CONDEMNS ARMENIA FOR KILLING SHEPHERD

    Turkish Foreign Ministry sent Friday a diplomatic note to Armenia,
    condemning the killing of a Turkish shepherd by Armenian troops after
    he crossed the border, diplomatic sources said.

    The diplomatic dispatch denounced Armenia for the use of "
    disproportionate force" against the "unarmed" shepherd, Mustafa Ulker,
    35, who crossed the border "to retrieve a lost sheep." It also asked
    for an explanation from the Armenian side.

    Turkey sent the note through its embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia, since
    the country does not have diplomatic relations with Armenia.

    Turkey closed its border with Armenia as of 1993 in solidarity with
    Azerbaijan, whose lands were occupied by Armenian forces in the
    Nagorno-Karabakh War.

    On Thursday, Ankara called on Armenia to act with restraint to avoid
    further such tragedies.
