Kati Piri, the rapporteur for Turkey at the European Parliament, has said Brussels “made a mistake against the Turkish people” after the country’s failed coup attempt, believed to have been masterminded by the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ).
Piri said both herself and Brussels had been quick to criticize Ankara’s post-coup crackdown but was wrong to not mention the more than 200 people killed by coup-plotting soldiers on the night of July 15 and not to talk about the bombing of the Turkish Parliament by jets used by putschists.
The Turkish government has strongly criticized the EU and other European bodies, complaining that they did not display genuine support and were late to visit Ankara in the aftermath of the coup attempt.
In an interview with Turkish daily Habertürk on Sept. 15, Piri said Brussels had been slow to recognize the trauma that the coup attempt had created in people, particularly noting that the assassination attempt on President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had deeply affected people.
