TURKISH President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been branded a terrorist, war criminal and ally to jihadists ahead of a major demonstration tomorrow against his war on Kurds in Syria.

As Mr Erdogan jails his enemies under trumped-up charges of “terrorism,” Ibo Avcil, spokesman for Turkish and Kurdish community group Gik-Der, slammed the president himself as “a terrorist who is committing war crimes against civilians in northern Syria with jihadist mercenaries.”

British-based Kurds have called on trade unionists and the labour movement to take to the streets and “stop the full-scale genocide of the Kurdish people.”
