Erdogan accuses NATO of supporting terrorism
Member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) have been accused of supporting terrorism by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
According to the Turkish leader, NATO allies support ‘terrorism’ with thousands of truckloads of weapons, but none for Turkey.
“What kind of NATO alliance is this?” Erdogan said on Monday during an election campaign rally in southwestern Turkey’s Burdur region.
“You give terrorists around 23,000 truckloads of weapons and tools through Iraq, but when we asked, you won’t even sell them to us,” he added.
“We have a 911-kilometre border [with Syria]. We’re under threat at any moment.”
However, Erdogan who made the claim while addressing supporters during an election rally stopped short of specifically naming the NATO allies supplying arms through Iraq.
