The spokesperson of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Ibrahim Kalin, condemned the European Parliament for allowing a photo exhibition organized by sympathizers of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Brussels, sparking fresh tension between Ankara and Brussels.
“Making propaganda of terror organizations that target Turkish nationals every day under the roof of the European Parliament is unacceptable,” Kalın said, advising those who permitted this exhibition to initiate similar exhibitions featuring other organizations like the Nusra Front, Hezbollah or the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.
The Foreign Ministry accused the European Parliament of becoming a “tool for encouraging terrorism” by opening such an exhibition, the Hurriyet Daily news reports.
