Davutoglu says PEGIDA and IS have similar goals

The PEGIDA movement in Germany and the terrorist organization Islamic State pursue similar goals, Prime Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoglu has claimed.

In his opinion Islamic State is a threat to Muslim countries and the movement PEGIDA is a threat to Germany.

Turkey is concerned about the actions of PEGIDA, as its representatives want to see German society without Muslims, in particular, without Turks; Islamic State wants to see Iraq and Syria without a Christian population, the news agency Anadolu quotes the prime minister.
