Ankara
: Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday Germany had become a haven for terrorists and would be -"judged by history-", accusing it of failing to extradite supporters of a U.S.-based cleric Ankara blames for July's failed military coup.
He said Germany had long harboured militants from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has waged a three-decade insurgency for Kurdish autonomy, and far-leftists from the DHKP-C, which has carried out armed attacks in Turkey.
-"We don't have any expectations from Germany but you will be judged in history for abetting terrorism ... Germany has become an important haven for terrorists,-" Erdogan told a ceremony at his palace in the capital Ankara.
-"We are concerned that Germany, which has protected the PKK and DHKP-C for years, has become the backyard of the Gulenist terror organisation.-"
