(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) Polish officials say they did not allow about 10 riders from a Russian nationalist motorcycle group to enter the country.
Dariusz Sienicki, spokesman of the Nadbuzanski department of the state border guards, said the riders were not allowed to cross the Belarusian-Polish border on April 27 due to "documentation irregularities."
Some 20 motorcyclists including members of the Night Wolves, a group with close ties to President Vladimir Putin, started riding toward Berlin from Moscow on April 25.
They want to trace the path of the Soviet Army's victorious World War II advance into Nazi Germany, despite Warsaw saying it would deny them entry.
Poland, alarmed by the Night Wolves' views and angry over Russia's interference in Ukraine, said on April 24 that it would not let them in.
Night Wolves leader Aleksandr Zaldostanov, known as the Surgeon, said on April 25 that if Polish authorities would not let the group ride in together they would enter "individually, from various points."
