A Turkish lawmaker from opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) on Wednesday criticized NATO's lack of support to the country's cross-border operations against terrorists.
"Especially in our cross-border operations against PKK/YPG terror organizations, NATO's support remains unfulfilled," Erkan Akçay told lawmakers at the parliament.
Akçay said that NATO's progress depends on its contribution to Turkey's security.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK has taken 40,000 lives, including many women and children. The YPG is its Syrian branch.
