Erdogan: West supports terror, coup plotters
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has strongly accused the West of supporting terrorism and coup plotters in a fresh statement, expressing his disappointment with the unsatisfying support from Turkey’s allies in the aftermath of July 15 failed coup attempt, Hurriyet reported.
“Now I ask: Does the West give support to terror or not? Is the West on the side of democracy or on the side coups and terror? Unfortunately, the West gives support to terror and stands on the side of coups,” Erdogan said in an address to international investors on Aug. 2 in Ankara.

“We have not received the support we were expecting from our friends, neither during nor after the coup attempt,” he said, repeating that no Western leader has come to Turkey to express condolences and show solidarity with the Turkish people.

The coup was staged by the Fethullah Gülen organization but the attempt was planned abroad, Erdogan claimed, without naming any country.
