( Cihan ) - A Turkish association in German capital Berlin was attacked on Wednesday by a group of unidentified assailants.

Five youth hurled a Molotov cocktail onto the office of the association located in the Neukцlln quarter of Berlin. The gate of the building was damaged in the attack.

German police detained five youth aged between 17 and 23 in connection with the attack. Police suspect that the attack might have carried out for political purposes.

Sahin Topaloglu, chairman of Teke Tek Culture Society, said that there were seven in the office during the attack, adding that no one was injured.

Head of the office also noted that the association had no political motives and there were many people from all over Turkey among their members.

On Friday last week, the building where Turkish Industrialists and Businessmen's Association (TUSIAD) is located in Berlin was also attacked.
