Argumentative and highly provocative, he appeared for o Mevlut Cavusogluwho attempted to criticize his Belgian counterpart, even demanding that the Brussels government take measures against “terrorist organization PKK“, as he characteristically stated.
Haja Labib, however, did not leave unanswered the provocative attitude of the Turkish Foreign Minister, saying in a strict tone that the Kurdish demonstrations took place in the context of freedom of expression and demonstration, even asking Cavusoglu to declare it, if he knows anything more.
The episode took place during the joint press conference of the two diplomats as relayed by SKY.
“We want you to take action against the PKK terrorist organization, which in your country has a strong presence and activity as in Europe. Just yesterday outside our embassy (in your country) there were demonstrations with PKK flags and the photos of the archterrorist Ocalan. Just as there cannot be demonstrations in favor of the Islamic State, so it must be done in Belgium for the PKK. Laws should not be applied differently. If we are honest about the fight against terrorism”.
The response of the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was immediate: “For the demonstrations if you have more information tell us, but to clarify that the demonstrations took place within the framework of freedom of expression and freedom of demonstration”.
