Erdogan: Europe aiding terrorism with support for Kurdish militants

ANKARA - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan accused Europe on Sunday of abetting terrorism with its support for the PKK and said he did not care if Europe called him a dictator as he cracks down on the Kurdish militant group and its sympathizers.
"Europe, as a whole, is abetting terrorism. Even though they declared the PKK a terrorist organization, this is clear ... We see how the PKK can act so freely and comfortably in Europe," Erdogan said in a televised speech.
"I don't care if they call me dictator or whatever else, it goes in one ear, out the other. What matters is what my people call me," he said.
