Foreign Ministry of Turkey has released a statement in which it accused the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) of "openly supporting terrorism" by making "written and visual propaganda" of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, Hurriyet Daily reports.
The statement reads:
"Such broadcasting about an organization which is listed as a terrorist [organization] by many countries, particularly EU countries, is open support for terrorism. The broadcast, which portrayed the PKK as an innocent organization struggling against another terrorist organization and encouraged [people] to join the PKK, is not acceptable in any way."
