Après l'expulsion de trois diplomates helvétiques
Le ton monte entre
la Suisse et la Turquie
Les relations déjà tendues entre
la Suisse et la Turquie se sont nettement
dégradées après l'expulsion,
mardi 24 ao6t, de l'ambassadeur
de Suisse à Ankara et de deux de
ses attachés (nos dernières éditions
du 25 août). Une mesure qualifiée
d'« injustifiée» par un communiqué
du Conseil fédéral helvétique,
réuni le même jour à Berne.
Les autorités turques ont donné
une semaine à l'ambassadeur de
Suisse à Ankara, Paul-André Ramseyer,
et à deu,,- de ses attachés
diplomatiques, Jean-Pierre Baumeyer
et Heinrich Maurer, pour
faire leurs bagages. En annonçant
cette expul$ion, le gouvernement
t,urc a ajouté que Kaya Toperi,
~mbassadeur de Turquie en Suisse,
ne regagnerait pas son poste.
Ce dernier est au cœur de la
crise diplomatique entre Berne et
Ankara depuis la mort de Semsettin
Kurt, un Kurde tué lors d'une
fusillade pendant une manifestation
devant l'ambassade de Turquie
