Turkey slams Belgium's top court for blocking the prosecution of 36 suspects and entities linked to the PKK/YPG terrorist group
Belgian Supreme Court verdict blocking prosecution of YPG/PKK terrorists supports terrorism, says Turkish Foreign Ministry.
The ruling "exonerates a terrorist organisation with ideological motives" and is especially egregious "as it comes from a country that presumes to lecture Turkey on the rule of law", said the statement. "It is an example of hypocrisy; it ignores the fact that terrorism poses threats to all nations and encourages other terrorist organisations," the ministry added.
The ministry urged the Belgian government to take steps to correct this contradictory ruling and to properly counter the terrorist PKK/YPG. "Standing on the right side of the history under all circumstances, Turkey will continue its fight against all forms of terrorism, which is one of biggest threats to humanity, both legally and through effective measures on the ground until the eradication of terrorist organisations," it said.
