France’s ambassador to Turkey was summoned to Turkey’s foreign ministry on Monday to protest what Ankara sees as “anti-Turkish propaganda” in France following an attack that killed three Kurds in Paris, a Turkish diplomatic source told AFP.

“We expressed our displeasure with the propaganda launched against our country by PKK circles,” the Kurdistan Workers’ Party accused this source, announcing the summons of Ambassador Hervé Magro.

Ankara criticizes Paris, in particular, for allowing PKK supporters to protest in the streets of Paris, some of whose posters mention links between Turkey and the French killer.

The accusations, accepted by “representatives of the French government and politicians”, assures this diplomat, for which “the French government and certain politicians were used as means of propaganda”.

A special adviser to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday condemned the violence in Paris after the killing of three Kurds, blaming the PKK, “the same terrorist organization you support in Syria”.

The man who killed three Kuriz justified his attack by saying he was a racist.

A 69-year-old pensioner admitted to police that he had a “pathological hatred of foreigners” and initially wanted to kill migrants in Saint-Denis, prosecutors said on Sunday.
