Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan admitted he had knowledge of the countries that were procuring weapons to terrorists, during his speech at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Conference for the Ministers responsible for water, in Constantinople, Turkey. ‘Countries that control the global arms industry are giving weapons to terrorists. I dare them to deny it’, said Erdogan. The Turkish President accused the west of hypocrisy underlining that the biggest problem in the world is not terrorism, but the double standard and disingenuous stance adopted by countries to terrorist organisations. He blasted the west for failing to condemn the terrorist attacks against Turkey. ‘There are reactions when bombs go off in Paris, Brussels, but not in Lahore, Constantinople and Diyarbakir. That’s why we are hurt’, he said.
