US-UK blames Turkey of supporting Al-Qaida, Meanwhile Israel-Kurds respond to Ordogan

The U.S. State Department has reacted to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s remarks criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s attendance of the anti-terror solidarity march in Paris.

“Turkey will continue to fight... against Israel’s reckless actions that do not recognize the law,” the Turkish president said.

PM Netanyahu dismisses Turkish president’s ‘shameful’ comments on Israeli ‘state terrorism,’ calls out world leaders for remaining silent. In his retort on Wednesday, Netanyahu said: “I’ve yet to hear any world leader condemn the comments by Erdogan, not one.''

''Decision to print millions of latest Charlie Hebdo edition has nothing to do with freedom of expression,'' says Turkish president.

British Prime Minister David Cameron on Saturday responded to Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, accusing him of supporting al-Qaeda linked rebels in Syria.

Erdogan, a devout Sunni Muslim, has already accused the West of hypocrisy after the attacks last week in which the gunmen killed 17, including 12 at the offices of the satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo. The three gunmen were also killed.

Mr. Cameron in his trip to Washington reiterated his country’s firm stance against the recent Paris shootings and emphasized the urgent importance of strengthening Anglo-Amerrican ties in wide-ranging fields, particularly in combating terrorism.

“I told President Obama earlier that MI6 had presented us with the incontrovertible facts regarding Turkish mischievous role in Syria and we believe Turkish officials’ current policies won’t create any conditions conducive to bring peace to the battle-scarred nation,” the Kuwaiti News Agency (KUNA) quoted the British premiere as saying during a press conference in Washington.

“We still believe Assad must relinquish the power and United Kingdom along with her other international partners will continue to support moderate opposition factions in Syria but Mr. Erdoğan is singing a different tune by supporting the ‘the wrong guys’,” added Cameron urging Ankara to desist from its support for ISIL terrorists.

Meanwhile, President of the Kurdistan autonomous Region, Massoud Barzani accused Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MİT) of providing Islamic State with advanced weaponry, including long-range artillery and armoured cars.

In a statement earlier this week ''I know who pushed ISIL to attack Kurdistan'' says Kurdish president Massoud Barzani.

“Kurds lost their confidence with Turkish government as they witnessed their brothers and sisters fighting for their life in Kobane against the Islamic State supported by Erdoğan's mercenaries. ''This would eventuate in a long-term sectarian hostilities between neighbouring Kurdish and Turkish communities,” said Massoud Barzani in a recent interview with Qatari-based Al Jazeera news channel.

Netanyahu, as well as Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, joined other world leaders at Sunday’s Paris march in memory of 17 people killed in Islamist terror attacks last week, among them six Jews, four of whom were targeted at a kosher supermarket in the city.

In October 2014, US Vice-President Joe Biden has accused America’s key allies in the Middle East of allowing the rise of the Islamic State (ISIL), saying they supported extremists with money and weapons in their eagerness to topple Assad in Syria.

''America’s “biggest problem” in Syria is its regional allies Turkey,'' Biden told students at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum at the Institute of Politics at Harvard University.

“Our allies in the region were our largest problem in Syria,” he said, explaining that Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE were “so determined to take down Assad,” that in a sense they started a “proxy Sunni-Shia war” by pouring “hundreds of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of tons of weapons” towards anyone who would fight against Assad.

“And we could not convince our colleagues to stop supplying them,” said Biden, thus dissociating the US from unleashing the civil war in Syria.
