Turkish Aksam Newspaper descried the photo as a scandal that proves the support of Europeans to the treason and terrorism creed of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militia.
A pro-HDP TV channel confirmed the flags of YPG and YPJ were hanged for the first time in the European Parliament considering these flags a symbol of courage and resistance of Syrian Kurds in their war against Islamic State.
Demirtas’s visit and the controversy of the step taken by the European Parliament comes amid escalation of the Kurdish leader speech. He recently warned of civil war outbreak in Turkey to divide the state and society on racial grounds.
It also comes amid the escalation between Ankara and European Parliament capitals on the background of European Parliament refusal to drop the visa for Turkish citizens to enter the union. The parliament said the Turkey visa-free entry to the union is contingent on Turkey reconsidered counter-terrorism laws directed to fight the crimes and violence of PKK.
Turkey considers this condition an interfere in its affairs and violations of red lines which touch on Turkey’s national security.
Demirtas went further in his statements published in Irish The Times saying peace in Syria cannot be achieved unless peace in achieved in south Turkey. South Turkey is a major Kurdish population region and it is considered one way or another a resource providing for the PKK and its Syrian arm headed by Saleh Muslim.
