Erdogan urges stronger anti-terrorist measures from ıntl community

The World Economic Forum (WEF) started its three-day Europe and Central Asia meeting in Istanbul yesterday. Speaking at its opening ceremony, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that merely putting terrorist groups on official lists of such groups is not enough, urging the international community to take stronger anti-terrorist measures. He said that countries which fail to stop terrorist groups from fundraising, recruiting and spreading propaganda will one day themselves be damaged by terrorism. "Terrorism is continuing to threaten the entire globalized world, and the era of protecting terrorists and of double standards should end," he added. Erdogan also met with Pakistani President Hamid Karzai and his Pakistani counterpart Yousaf Raza Gillani on the sidelines of the meeting.
