Gul: EU couldn’t pass terrorism examination

About the EU’s decision not to put KADEK into its list of terrorist organizations, Gul stated, "EU couldn’t pass the examination on this issue, I hope it will realize it and it will take the decision that Turkey hoped."

Evaluating US State Secretary Colin Powell’s statement regarding sensivity of Kurdish groups in Iraq against Turkish troops, Gul said that not only these two Kurdish parties represented whole Kurds in the region, but there were some other parties.

He added, "We also know that these two parties have different opinions on TUrkey but it wouldn’t change anything, but they forget that Turkey defended them from a massacre and they also know that to gain trust of Ankara will be beneficial in long term."
