Axar.az reports citing to Anadolu Agency Asiye Nurcan Ipekci, Turkey's consul in Zurich, said the attackers painted "Kill Erdogan" on the walls of a nearby building and bus stop.

Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Ipekci said police immediately arrived at the scene after nearly 60 masked people attacked the consulate building with paint.

"Now the situation is under control," she said, adding there was nothing to fear.
