ISTANBUL
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey was expecting French state to find the suspects after slaying of three Kurdish women in Paris.
Three Kurdish women were found dead on Thursday morning at Kurdish Information Center in Paris, reportedly shot in the head in what appeared to be an execution-style killing.
One of the victims was identified as Sakine Cansiz, one of the founding members of the terrorist PKK organization.
Turkish intelligence officials have been conducting talks with the PKK's jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan, in a bid to disarm the PKK.
PKK is recognized as a terrorist organization also by the United States and the European Union.
The conflict between PKK and Turkish troops has cost thousands of lives since 1984.
"Meanwhile, French president said they were regularly holding talks with these people in the center. How can France hold talks with these people who are members of PKK that was also declared terrorist organization by the EU," said Erdogan.
Noting that Sakine Cansiz had been detained in Germany in 2007, Erdogan said that she was released despite Turkey's extradition demand.
We sent a message to French Interpol on November 5, 2012 and informed them this terrorist was staying in Paris, but France did not take any steps, said Erdogan.
Erdogan said that French president should explain why they were holding talks with those terrorists and what they were talking about.
