Türkiye on Friday rejected a brand new US State Department report on terrorism, saying it “deliberately distorts” Ankara’s battle towards the terrorist group.
2021 Country Report on Terrorism “deliberately distorts the fight against terrorist organizations that pose a direct threat to the security of our country,” Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Tanju Bilgiç mentioned in a press release.
Mentioning of terror group PKK’s Syria extension SDF as a accomplice within the battle towards Daesh reveals that “the inaccuracy of the use of another terrorist organization in the fight against a terrorist organization has not been realized by the US authorities,” Bilgiç mentioned.
Ankara continues its battle towards terrorist organizations PKK, the YPG/PYD, DHKP-C, FETO and Daesh/ISIS primarily based on regulation, and it contributes successfully to worldwide efforts on this subject, he mentioned.
It is unacceptable to explain Ankara’s battle towards the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) — the group behind the July 15, 2016 coup try in Türkiye — as “politically motivated” within the report.
Türkiye expects the US to finish FETO presence and actions in its nation instantly, Bilgiç mentioned.
Also, for the opposite allegations within the report, the assertion mentioned the report contains rumour claims and biased press experiences and raises doubts about its seriousness.
In the assertion, Bilgiç known as on the US to point out solidarity with Ankara in accordance with “the spirit of allies, to take a principled, consistent, determined and effective approach in the fight against terrorism.”
