DUBAI: Turkey has accused Greece of harboring and aiding extremist organizations including the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, Al-Arabiya TV reported.
It’s a claim Greece denies, saying that Turkey is causing further unrest in the region and trying to harm its image.
Head of the Turkish Presidency’s Communication Department Fahrettin Altun said in a tweet that there were extremists hiding in an alleged refugee camp in Greece.
He added that the militants were planning to launch suicide attacks against Turkey at a time when Greece lets refugees die in the Aegean Sea, he said.
Alton attached with his tweet a three-minute video clip explaining how some foreign countries assisted extremist groups.
The video clip also indicated that Ankara was appealing to NATO-member states, including neighboring Greece, to support all efforts made by Turkey against extremist organizations.
Earlier, the Chief of Staff of the Greek Army Lt. Gen. Konstantinos Floros said Turkey’s actions were bringing instability to the region.
The Greek Ministry of Immigration recently accused Turkey of trying to cause “escalation” in the Aegean Sea, with “dangerous maneuvers” and encourage migrants to head to Greece, the main transit gateway to the European Union.

LONDON: Nearly 50,000 worshippers performed the Isha and Ramadan Taraweeh prayers on Sunday evening at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the walled city of occupied East Jerusalem.
Thousands of Palestinians gathered at Al-Aqsa despite facing Israeli military checkpoints and strict identity checks at the mosque’s gates, according to the Jerusalem Governorate.
Palestinians are observing the fasting month of Ramadan, which began last Wednesday, amid heightened tensions in the occupied West Bank, including attacks by settlers, and Israeli raids and arrests.
Over 300 Jerusalemites have recently received Israeli orders prohibiting their entry to Al-Aqsa during Ramadan, the Wafa news agency reported.
Israeli forces have increased their military presence in Jerusalem and restricted access to Al-Aqsa to children under 12, men over 55, and women over 50.
Since Wednesday, thousands of Palestinians have lined up to pass through military checkpoints, including Qalandiya and Bethlehem, in hopes of attending prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan.
