31 March 2016 [12:00] - TODAY.AZ

Europe doesn’t share intelligence data with Turkey in the fight against terrorism, President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in an interview to CNN channel.

Turkey is fully focused on fighting the “Islamic State” terrorist group (IS, aka ISIS, ISIL or Daesh) and expects from Europe the same deliberate policy in the fight against terrorism, according to the president.

Turkey has faced deadly terrorist attacks in recent weeks.

On March 13, a car bomb attack in Ankara left 37 people dead. Istanbul was also targeted by a suicide attack on March 19, leaving five people dead. Turkish authorities have accused the IS, the PKK and the PYD terrorist groups for the attacks.

The IS and Jabhat al-Nusra are the most active terrorist groups in Syria.
