‘France sides with PKK in Syria’
Turkish Parliament Speaker Mustafa Sentop mentioned Monday that it’s “not surprising, although it is very serious” for the French Senate to host PKK members.
“We have witnessed before, that France establishes relations with terrorist organisations, especially Daesh, openly or covertly, when it comes to its convenience.
“As the speaker of the Parliament, I need to state that the truth that a rustic’s parliament hosts members of a terrorist organisation weakens the status of that establishment,” Sentop said on Twitter.
Türkiye expects France to act in accordance with the law, humanity and the requirements of being a modern reliable state, which has shown the whole world with a parliamentary hand that they “overtly” sided with the PKK’s extensions in Syria, he added.
In its greater than 35-year marketing campaign of violence towards Türkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organisation by Türkiye, the US, and EU – has been accused of being accountable for the deaths of over 40,000 individuals, together with girls, kids, and infants.
The YPG is the Syrian department of the PKK.
