The rumors that have been spread by a number of media sources about the involvement of Alexander Machkevitch, the President of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress, in the scandal in Turkey are totally groundless. The information about his arrest or the release on bail is false and provocative. Currently, Mr. Machkevitch is in Europe and continues his work.
Alexander Machkevitch was on a business trip in Turkey and the scandal that has taken place did not apply to him personally. The Turkish law enforcement agencies do not have any claims against Alexander Machkevitch.
We are confident that in the nearest future the organizers of this provocation as well as their aims and tasks will be found.
