"EU IS ENCOURAGING TERRORISM”

“KADEK’s absence from the EU list constitutes a kind of support for the bloody acts this terrorist organization has perpetrated up to now,” he asserted. Last spring – after years of delay – the EU added the PKK to its terrorist list, whereupon the terrorist group quickly changed its name to KADEK, which has yet to be added to the list. In addition, Ozkok stressed that Turkey wanted to participate actively in the reconstruction of Iraq and make substantial contributions to that process. He also called for the preservation of Iraq’s sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as the use of its natural resources to provide prosperity for the Iraqi people.
