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.

Ms May used the term during Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s state visit last week as the signing of further arms deals was announced.

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