Belgium's Ambassador to Turkey Marc Trentesau has been summoned to Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs to convey the country's protest over the recent PKK tent incident in Brussels, Turkish diplomatic sources said.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu also called his Belgian counterpart Didier Reynders Sunday over the incident, Turkish diplomatic sources added.
On Thursday, the Belgian government had allowed PKK supporters to pitch their tents near the venue of the Turkey-EU summit in Brussels.
Although flags of the group were removed ahead of Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglus visit, they were put back up after his departure.
According to the sources, Cavusoglu in his conversation with Reynders called the situation unacceptable and emphasized the importance of removing the tent.
Turkish minister also said the display of PKK flags and terrorist posters is also unacceptable, adding the issue is not about freedom of expression but that it is a matter of terrorism.
Cavusoglu said the PKK is a terrorist organization just like ISIS. He noted that ISIS is not allowed in Belgium in the name of freedom of expression.
He emphasized that PKK actions must be responded in the same vein as against ISIS.
