DIYARBAKIR. – Unidentified persons threw sound bombs, late in the evening on Friday, in front of Green Park Hotel in Diyarbakir, Turkey. 

Some members of the Armenian delegation, which is participating in one of the largest exhibitions in the Middle East, were in front of the hotel when the sound bombs were thrown.

Two strangers threw two sound bombs in the direction of the hotel and, subsequently, they quickly disappeared into the darkness, the Armenian News-NEWS.am reporter informs from Diyarbakir. Fortunately, the bombs did not explode. 

The Armenian delegation members that witnessed the incident noted that the unidentified persons had thrown the bombs at the time when some men wearing ties—and who appeared to be officials—had come out of the hotel and, in all likelihood, the sound bombs were aimed at them.      

Police quickly arrived on the scene because Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan will stay at this hotel the next day, and they link the throwing of these sound bombs to Erdogan’s arrival in Diyarbakir.
