'EU is not sincere in terror fight'

EU Minister Egemen Bagis has slammed EU countries for failing to support Turkey's struggle against the PKK. "The fact that television channels, financed by a terrorist organization and spreading propaganda, are still operating in EU countries casts doubt on the Union's sincerity and credibility," Bagis said yesterday in a written message issued on the occasion of European Day for Victims of Terrorism. "The EU, which is remembering the victims of terrorism, is expected to display the same sensitivity to Turkey's struggle against the PKK," he added. Along with globalization of the world, terror has also become globalized, Bagis stated, adding that cooperation against terror should also therefore be globalized. He stressed that Turkey, fighting against the terrorist PKK, was one of the leading countries in cooperation for the fight against terror. "We don't accept an approach of: ‘Your terrorist is good, mine is bad,'" the EU minister stated. He said that the PKK also pointed the gun of drugs to youth in Europe.
