Last Updated On: Jan 10 2021 01:48 Gmt+3 Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is a serious threat to the stability of the European Union and the wider region, German Kurdish lawmaker Helin Evrim Sommer told Ahval. Sommer, an MP for Die Linke (the Left Party), said that her party has called for sanctions on Erdoğan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP), but rejected general economic sanctions that would affect the people as well. “If the EU does not want to completely lose its political credibility, it should apply sanctions,” she said. Turkey continued its natural gas exploration, and Erdoğan and his ally Devlet Bahçeli, far-right leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), broke international law when they visited the deserted town of Varosha in northern Cyprus, Sommer said. Varosha had been closed as part of a U.N.-endorsed buffer zone following a Greek-backed coup attempt and Turkey’s invasion of the island in 1974.
