In Germany, France and the Netherlands, they defend the militants of the Kurdistan and its branches, said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan while performing in parliament.
The Turkish leader noted that members of the terrorist PKK conduct marches in European countries, they are protected by local police. In addition, he continued Erdogan, they are allowed to perform in parliaments, reports RBC.
Erdogan emphasized: “They go further and collect money, setting tents to the European Court of Human Rights.” He wondered how Ankara can say “come and join NATO” while such events take place.
Turkish President also called not to resort to “games with letters”, calling the PKK differently – Pyd (Kurdish Party “Democratic Union”), YPG (Kurdish “Folk Self -Defense Drivers”) or other names for the purpose of “legalization”. He indicated that thereby European countries “deceive themselves, not us.” And those who transmit the PKK weapons and military equipment deserve the title of “not a legal state, but a terrorist”, Erdogan believes.
Erdogan complained that some countries refused to sell Turkish weapons, but at the same time “armed terrorists in Syria for free.” “Such practice does not comply with the legal state. These are methods of terrorist countries,” says Turkish President.
