Russian President Vladimir Putin will be in Turkey for the meeting of the high level Strategic Cooperation Council on October 14, 2012.

After a disputed selection process of IOC, Putin has been conducting a large scale campaign to strip Sochi from its history and identity by the realization of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, the historical Circassian capital, the land of genocide.

During his leadership, 5 Chechen refugees were assassinated and a lot of them were threatened by his murderer bandits in Istanbul. The fact that there have been no legal actions taken against these bandits who also expanded their activities and threatened Circassian activists in Turkey, the relationship between Russian and Turkish governments is highly questionable.

We call on you to join us in a press release in front of Russian Federation Consulate General in Istanbul to remind that:

– Putin himself and his crimes are not welcomed in Turkey,
– The relationship between Russia and the government of Turkey, the ruling party AKP has to be questioned on a legal and ethical base
