Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on CNN hard lashed to the Netherlands and Belgium. ,, Those countries do not understand where jihadists stand for. '' According to Erdogan, the Western countries have not done enough in terms of information exchange in the fight against terrorism.
,, We want to take it together against terrorism, "Erdogan says. ,, Many European countries have not recognized the importance of the call to action. We are abandoned by them. Our expectations with regard to the sharing of safety information are never redeemed. '' Erdogan is currently in the United States for a summit on nuclear safety.
Also last week read Turkish President Europe for the lesson . According to the Head of State Netherlands and Belgium had the warning of Turkey beaten in the wind about Ibrahim El Bakraoui why these terrorists could blow up at Zaventem airport. ,, We have shown him last July to the Netherlands and the Netherlands and Belgium notified. Nevertheless, Belgium released him. ''
lax
Netherlands proved repeatedly lax to have acted around El Bakraoui. That turned out Tuesday in a parliamentary debate on the Brussels attacks. Although he was radically plotted by Turkey and had traveled to Schiphol, Netherlands did not put him on a wanted list. Prime Minister Mark Rutte could not but admit that it is rather lacking an effective exchange of information between European countries.
The Belgian Government acknowledged that some information was not in time moved on, but also pointed out that the information came too late and was not clear.
Turkey has long been an important ally of the West, but the conflict in Syria puts more and more strain on relationships. The United States expect more Turkish involvement in the fight against Islamic State. The Turks accuse the West again to support the Kurdish fighters, whom they regarded as enemies of the state.
