Turkish nationalist pranksters: We will blow up Orthodox Church in Greece. We will establish Sharia Law

The pranksters demanded the release of a Russian prankster arrested in the week

Newsroom January 27 01:50

New hoaxes were carried out by Turkish pranksters threatening they had mined Athens airport “Eleftherios Venizelos”, as well as a series of hospitals such as Errikos Dunan, Tzanio, “Agia Sophia” and “Gennimatas” Children Hospital. The pranksters claim to be Turkish nationalists and friends of the Russian prankster who, on the morning of last Tuesday, sent emails about placing a bomb at the airport and 6 hospitals in Athens.

In particular, the perpetrators, at approximately 6:30 on Friday morning, sent two emails to the Police Headquarters, written in English, in which they threatened that if their friend was not released they would blow up the airport, four hospitals, and the Orthodox church with mines, they said.

Specifically in the email they wrote:

“We are Turkish nationalists
Paul Avilovoglou is speaking to you

We have put mined your airport
We will destroy the Orthodox Church in Greece
And establish Sharia law
