Britain’s Kurds slam May for racist “terrorist” remark during Erdogan visit

A “RACIST” reference to “Kurdish terrorism” by Prime Minister Theresa May has caused outrage among Britain’s Kurds.

She remarked on her support for Turkey while it experiences “extraordinary pressures from Kurdish terrorism.”
