TASS: Turkish Foreign Ministry summoned the French ambassador because of the awarding of Kurdish militias in Paris

"The ambassador was informed that Turkey does not accept and strongly condemns the awarding in the French Senate of members of the SNC (Syrian Kurdish formations of the People's Defense Forces). - RT), the Syrian offshoot of the Terrorist Organization of the Kurdistan Workers' Party. Separatist and destabilizing activities [of these elements] against our country and Syrians were brought to the attention of the ambassador," the agency said.

In December, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar, commenting on the riots in Paris organized by the Kurds, said that "a snake fed by the French began to sting them."

Also in January, the Turkish authorities canceled the visit of the Speaker of the Swedish Parliament Andreas Nordlen to Turkey because of the action of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) banned in the country in Stockholm.
