ISTANBUL: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday accused the West of supporting “terror” and the coup plotters who tried to unseat him, in his toughest attack on Ankara’s Western allies since the July 15 attempted putsch.

“Unfortunately, the West is supporting terror and standing by the coup plotters,” said Erdogan in a televised speech at his presidential palace. “Those who we imagined to be friends are standing by the coup plotters and by the terrorists.”
