Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan went to British capital London to meet with the royal family and goverment officials to overcome the economic bind, and was protested by Kurds and democratic groups.

PROTESTS FROM THE OPPOSITION

Erdoğan’s 3-day official visit was harshly criticized by several political parties in the UK. Liberal Democrats leader Sir Vince Cable condemned Erdoğan’s visit in harsh words. Sir Cable stressed that Erdoğan is an enemy of liberal and democratic values, and criticized the government for receiving him.

Protesters gathered in front of the building where the economic forum Erdoğan participated in during the day was held, and frequently chanted “Terrorist Erdoğan”.
