Turkish PM slams BBC, Reuters over Kurdish rebels
ANKARA, July 14 (AFP) Turkish Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan lashed out Thursday at the British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC) and the Reuters news agency, accusing them of having called
the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) a "militia" in their news reports.
"I condemn the BBC and Reuters, both of which declared the PKK terror
organization a militia," he said. "I invite the world media to display an
objective approach to this issue."
"If this way of thinking continues, it should be known that the terror
targeting Turkey ... today, will tomorrow target them and make them suffer,"
Erdogan said.
Erdogan was speaking at a meeting here with Turkish industrialists, during
which he observed a moment of silence for the victims of last week's bombings in
London.
The Reuters Ankara bureau declined to comment, saying a statement was likely
to be issued by the organization's headquarters in London.
The BBC could not be immediately reached.
