(Fighting against New Crown Pneumonia) Turkmenistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs accuses the U.S. Embassy of publishing false epidemic information
China News Agency, Nur-Sultan, June 25th, Ashgabat News: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan said on the 24th local time that the U.S. Embassy in Turkmenistan announced on the previous day that the news about the new pneumonia outbreak in Turkmenistan was purely fabricated.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey said that the Turkish side believes that the position of the US Embassy in Turkey is false and unfounded. Representatives of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs have repeatedly notified the US Embassy that they should stop distributing propensity and unconfirmed information.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey pointed out that on the issue of prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, Turkey supports international cooperation based on information disclosure, and regularly holds press conferences for diplomatic missions and journalists stationed in Turkey to introduce various measures to prevent the epidemic in the country. But the US embassy did not participate in related activities.
At present, Turkmenistan officially says that there has been no new outbreak of pneumonia in China. However, the official website of the US Embassy announced on the 23rd that there have been confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Turkey, and those diagnosed may be quarantined from time to time without the necessary conditions. In addition, the US Embassy also recommended through the official website last week that American citizens and diplomats in Turkey should be vigilant and threatened by the new coronary pneumonia epidemic.
