The Turkish Foreign Ministry complains to the French ambassador about the “anti-Turkish propaganda”

“We expressed our displeasure with the propaganda launched against our country by PKK circles,” a diplomatic source said, announcing that the Foreign Ministry had summoned Ambassador Hervé Magro.

France’s ambassador to Turkey was summoned by the foreign ministry today to be served with a formal protest from Ankara over “anti-Turkish propaganda” it believes is being carried out in France following the killing of three Kurds in Paris.

“We expressed our displeasure at the propaganda launched against our country by circles of the PKK,” the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, a diplomatic source said, announcing that the Foreign Ministry had summoned Ambassador Hervé Magro.

Ankara accuses Paris of allowing PKK supporters to demonstrate in the streets of the French capital. In some placards held by the gathered, there was talk of Turkey’s ties with the French perpetrator. These accusations were repeated by “representatives of the French government and politicians”, assured the Turkish diplomat, claiming that “the French government and some politicians were used as propaganda instruments”.

An adviser to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday condemned the riots in Paris after the killing of the three Kurds, blaming the PKK, “the same terrorist organization you support in Syria,” he said.

The 69-year-old Frenchman accused of the murders told his inquest that he harbored a “pathological hatred” of foreigners.
