Families of martyred Turkish citizens, veterans and village guards protested in front of the French embassy in the Turkish capital Ankara for "supporting" the terrorist organization PKK on Friday.
The group of around 200 people gathered in front of the French embassy. They carried banners saying "Terror topples you too", "Stop supporting terror". The group also stood still paying homage to martyrs and chanted the Turkish national anthem.
In a statement on behalf of the July 15 Democracy Martyrs, Veterans and Terror Victims Association chairman Ziya Sozen said that they had previously gathered in front of the German and Belgian embassies to protest their alleged support of the PKK.
"Of course we are giving France back in their fight against terror and we support France for sure. As Turkey and Turkish people we condemn the terrorist attacks in France and we think we have right to expect the same sensibility from France," Sozen said.
