By Muhammet Emin Avundukluoglu

ANKARA (AA) – A Turkish lawmaker from opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) on Wednesday criticized NATO’s lack of support to the country’s cross-border operations against terrorists.

“Especially in our cross-border operations against PKK/YPG terror organizations, NATO's support remains unfulfilled, ” Erkan Akcay told lawmakers at the parliament.

Akcay said that NATO's progress depends on its contribution to Turkey's security.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK has taken 40,000 lives, including many women and children. The YPG is its Syrian branch.
