Turkish FM Mevlut Cavusoglu calls on Sweden to take action over Thursday's provocation by PKK supporters against President Erdogan, calling it 'racist' and a 'hate crime'
Sweden"has a responsibility" to take action over Thursday's incident that took place right in the centre of the Nordic country's capital Stockholm, says Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.Thursday's provocation in Sweden against the Turkish president by supporters of the PKK/YPG terrorist group is both "racist" and a "hate crime", Türkiye's foreign minister has said.
Footage posted later on a social media account affiliated with the terror group showed that threats targeting Türkiye and Erdogan were made with Turkish subtitles. This provocative action took place right in front of the municipality in the centre of the city, in front of everyone, he said, adding that just condemning it is not enough.
"Not only yesterday's racist and hate crime act, but also activities supporting the terrorist organisation continue," he said.
