Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on Saturday that the EU must choose between Turkey and "terrorist groups". It was a reference to the earlier accusations of Ankara, alleging some EU countries that allow "propaganda" Kurdish fighters from PKK. Turkey is the key to the security of Europe "- said the prime minister in an interview with the daily" Hurriyet
Turkey is a country that gives shelter to millions of refugees. This is where you are (the) humanitarian "- he said and expressed the hope that European leaders" do not want to destroy 50 years of relations between Europe and Turkey. "
Ankara accuses the EU countries, including Belgium and Germany, for assisting supporters of illegal Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen. The latter accusing the authorities in Ankara to organize a coup.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly accused Germany that have long provide shelter PKK militants and far-left organization Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C), which in the past carried out armed attacks in Turkey. In early November, Erdogan said that Berlin "protects terrorists."
Separatist PKK is recognized by Turkey, the EU and the US as a terrorist organization.
Relations between Turkey and the EU have recently been increasingly strained. On Thursday, the prime minister said that without the help of Ankara Europe "flood immigrants" and breakdown of the talks on Turkey's accession to the EU will be much more destructive for Europe than for Turkey.
Yildirim referred in this way for Thursday's European Parliament resolution calling for a freeze of negotiations on Turkey's accession to the EU because of the political purges that Ankara carried out from July's failed coup.
MEPs stressed in its resolution, that "repressive measures introduced by the Turkish government under a state of emergency are disproportionate and violate fundamental rights and freedoms protected by the Turkish Constitution and the democratic values ​​on which the EU is founded."
Accession negotiations of the EU-Turkey were opened in 2005; since then the progress in the talks is small.
