Turkish PM: Europe’s Security Starts with Turkey

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım urged European states to contribute to hosting refugees and combatting terror, saying that the security of Europe is dependent on that of Turkey.

“Turkey has to conduct a multi-dimensional combat against terror as it is under an asymmetric attack. … Turkey makes significant efforts toward the establishment of stability in the region,” Yıldırım noted, as reported by Daily Sabah.

“European countries speak freely but they must stop the talk and join us [on the ground], taking some weight off of our shoulders. Terrorist threats should not be shouldered solely by Turkey. Europe’s security starts with Turkey. If Turkey is not secure, then Europe would not be safe at all.”
