Terrorism Is Calamity For All Humanity, Erdogan

ISTANBUL - Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday terrorism is a calamity for all humanity, not only Turkey.
"Therefore, all humanity has to launch a joint fight against terrorism," Erdogan told members of his Justice & Development (AK) Party in Istanbul.
Erdogan said Turkey staged an air strike against the terrorist organization PKK, and took diplomatic, political, economic, social and military steps before this operation.
"Turkey has rights under the international law, but being right is not always sufficient," he told.
Erdogan said Turkey should explain the world that it is right, otherwise it will become lonely.
"We visited Gulf countries, EU member states and the United States, and a positive atmosphere emerged after all these visits," he told.
Erdogan said Turkey is determined to eradicate terrorism.
"We will altogether counter terrorism so that humanity can live in a peaceful atmosphere," he told.
