Türkiye summons French ambassador in Ankara Herve Magro to strongly condemn hosting of YPG/PKK terrorists in the French Senate and 'awarding them with medal of honour'
Ankara expects French authorities to not give credit to the efforts that provide international legitimacy to PKK's extensions in Syria, the sources said.
"The attacks of the PKK/PYD/YPG and the so-called SDF against our country and Syrians, and their separatist and destabilising activities in the region have been brought to the attention of the ambassador once again," Turkish diplomatic sources said. Ankara also requests France to support the security of Turkish borders and the people, as well as to protect Syria's unity and territorial integrity, and to show solidarity in accordance with the spirit of an ally, they added.
In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organisation by Türkiye, the US, and EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants. The PYD and its armed wing YPG are the PKK's Syrian offshoots.
