“European countries continue to be safe havens for the political extensions of terrorist groups. When this is the case, it’s a piece of black comedy that the EU criticizes our country over the definition of terrorism,” Erdogan said in a speech in Ankara on Tuesday.
Turkey continues to carry the EU hostage over the migrant disaster, because the nation finally goals to hitch the bloc. Meanwhile, it has been pursuing visa-free journey negotiations.
Last week Brussels urged Ankara to amend its terrorism legal guidelines according to EU requirements. Erdogan refused.
His remarks were made in reaction to a request by the European Union for Turkey to revamp its anti-terror laws and bring them up to European standards.
