European countries such as Germany, Holland and Austria are committing “war crimes” against Turkey for harboring alleged Turkish terrorists, Deputy Prime Minister Nurettin Canikli said this Friday during a rally in the northern city of Samsun, the newspaper Milliyet reported. .
European countries “give all kinds of support to members of organizations that they themselves recognize as terrorists,” said Canikli, in apparent reference to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), considered terrorist by both Turkey and the EU, as well as some ultra-Marxist armed groups.
But now, The situation has worsened, he added, pointing to members of the entourage of exiled preacher Fethullah Gülen, a religious-political network that Turkey describes with the acronym FETÖ, and which it accuses of instigating the failed coup d’état last July.although those responsible deny it.
‘They can see very painful results’
“In recent months, all European countries, starting with Germany, gave shelter to the FETÖ. They welcome them with open arms. Germany, Holland and Austria thus commit a crime against humanity. Because there is no other way to call it support for terror and terrorists who kill civilians in Turkey,” Canikli said.
“They give them financial, armed and moral support. It is a true crime against humanity. “If they did not support these terrorists, including those from FETÖ, these organizations would not be able to continue their destructive activities in Turkey.”he assured.
“Tomorrow, countries that support killers may see very painful results. “This is not a threat, but a historical reality,” he added.
“NATO’s activities are along the same lines. By consciously supporting those organizations that harm Turkey, it does not have a position of friend, but rather of an enemy towards Turkey,” concluded the deputy prime minister.
Canikli also reiterated the accusation that countries like Germany and Holland show “fascist attitudes” and “typical of the Nazis”, by preventing public meetings on their territory by several Turkish ministers who wanted to campaign among Turkish immigrants in favor of constitutional reform. presidential candidate that will be voted on next April 16.
