The French Senate besmirched its popularity after internet hosting PKK/YPG terrorists and “awarding them with a medal of honor,” the Turkish National Defense Ministry mentioned on Tuesday.
“The hosting of the representatives of the bloody PKK/YPG terrorist organization in the parliament of NATO member France casts a shadow over its respectability,” the ministry mentioned.
The assertion got here a day after the Turkish Foreign Ministry summoned French Ambassador Herve Magro to strongly condemn Saturday’s act.
The assaults of the PKK/PYD/YPG and the so-called SDF towards Türkiye and Syrians, and their separatist and destabilizing actions within the area have been dropped at the eye of Magro, Turkish diplomatic sources mentioned.
“This move is against the spirit of alliance and also hollows out NATO’s fight against terrorism,” the ministry mentioned, including that the Turkish forces will proceed their struggle towards all terrorist organizations.
Ankara expects French authorities to not give credit score to the efforts that present worldwide legitimacy to the PKK terror group’s extensions in Syria.
In its greater than 35-year terror marketing campaign towards Türkiye, the PKK — listed as a terrorist group by Türkiye, the U.S., and EU — has been accountable for the deaths of over 40,000 individuals, together with ladies, kids, and infants. The YPG is its Syrian department.
