Hosting ‘PKK/YPG terrorists casts shadow over French Senate’s respectability’: Türkiye
ANKARA (AA) – The French Senate besmirched its reputation by hosting PKK/YPG “terrorists and awarding them with a medal of honor,” the Turkish National Defense Ministry said 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 said.
The statement came a day after the Turkish Foreign Ministry summoned French Ambassador Herve Magro to strongly condemn Saturday’s act.
The attacks of the PKK/PYD/YPG and the SDF against Türkiye and Syrians, and their “separatist and destabilizing” activities in the region were brought to the attention of Magro, Turkish diplomatic sources said.
“This move is against the spirit of alliance and also hollows out NATO’s fight against terrorism,” the ministry said.
Ankara expects French authorities to not give credit to the efforts that provide “international legitimacy to the PKK terror group’s extensions” in Syria, it added.
