It is a complete provocation to propagate that this crime, this savage massacre, was committed for ideological reasons.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from Fakhraddin Altun, head of the Public Relations Department of the Turkish Presidential Administration, commenting on the shooting death of seven members of a family in Konya yesterday.

Calling to be careful against the ugliness of information in the media and the public, Altun said:

"We call on the irresponsible people who use this brutal incident to divide society and pit people against each other to be cautious."
