(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) Turkish Foreign Ministry strongly denied on Tuesday that militant groups in Syria smuggle weapons via Ankara's soil, deeming the allegations in the UN Analytical Support and Sanctions Implementation Monitoring Team's report as "baseless." Speaking at a press conference, spokesman for the ministry Tanju Bilgic stressed Turkey's active cooperation with the US-led international coalition fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
He noted that Turkey had designated both the ISIL and Al-Nusra Front as "terrorist" organizations.
Bilgic also warned of growing discrimination against Turkish people in Europe over the last years, saying that They had been subject to 313 cases of discrimination in the past four years.
He noted that his country monitors cautiously demonstrations organized by "Patriotic Europeans against Islamisation of the West." This tendency is not in line with the 21st century and the modern world, he pointed out.
