Turkey threatens 'additional measures' over Nemesis monument in Yerevan
Turkey will take “additional measures” if the monument to participants of Operation Nemesis in Yerevan is not dismantled, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Monday.
Operation Nemesis was a 1920s program of assassinations of Ottoman Turkish perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide.
"Turkey will not limit itself to closing its airspace and will continue to take additional measures," Azerbaijani media quoted Cavusoglu as saying.
Ankara shut its airspace to Armenian flights heading to a third destination in response to the unveiling of the monument in Yerevan earlier in May.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in a later interview that the decision to install the Nemesis monument in the Armenian capital “was wrong”.
