Late Saturday evening, three Sputnik employees in Ankara were attacked at their homes, with organized groups attempting to break down the front door, threatening and calling the agency staffers “traitors” and “Russian spies.”
The Turkish State news agency Anadolu has characterized the Saturday attacks on Sputnik staff members as a “protest.”
The agency claimed that police had launched an investigation into the incidents.
The attack on Sputnik staffers in Ankara occurred at about 10:30 p.m. local time on Saturday, with groups of at least 10 attempting to break down apartment doors and storm the homes of the journalists.
Following the incident, Sputnik editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan asked how the attackers obtained the agency staff’s home addresses.
