Lieberman orders return of diplomats' families from Turkey following riots

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman ordered Friday the return of all diplomats' families to Israel following the violent riots that took place overnight near Israeli missions in Istanbul and Ankara.

In addition, it was decided to reduce the diplomatic representation in Turkey to the necessary minimum.

Lieberman instructed the foreign ministry to notify the Turkish government about the blunt violation of the diplomatic codes by Turkey's security forces.
